So I've discovered this summer that google sketch up, available for download at http://sketchup.google.com/products.html is possibly the best way to design parks and park features.  download sketch up(pro you have to pay for but you could prob find it free somewhere.  I have the $50 1 year student trial).  Download my sketchup file and open it with sketch up.  http://www.mediafire.com/?6fgx0cm0ltb

Someone needs to figure out how to make jibberish levels from sketch up files.

here are some pics from my sketch up park.

my park includes about 150 rails and boxes, a ferrari rail, horse jib, airplane jib, trailer jib, 18 wheeler jib, tank rail, quarterpipe rails and boxes, swirly rail, tons of huge jumps, a mid mountain lodge, and a huge hotel and lodge at the bottom like the cliff lodge.

im not sure how long it took.  I started it in early may just trying to make a really long superpipe.  I spent around an hour a day when i was bored, or trying to go to sleep, then prob around 20-30 hours on my road trip to yellowstone.  It took a mad long time.  The stuff like the trailer, airplane, horse, and the cars I didn't do.  I just downloaded them.

the horse idea is so sick. it almost looks a little crowded like when you hit somthing you would have to slam on it if you didn't want to ride a line. but other than that it's the sickest park i've ever seen

Winter Park has a horse jib.

Kind of funny that that horse illustration is the same shape as this horse...

I love designing shit in Sketchup.  Did you make that lift and hotel?  I am guessing you took it from the component library but if not nice job.

I've messed around in sketchup a fair amount and have made some park stuff but my god nothing like that. I know how long some of that stuff takes to make, like those rails even. really good job, im amazed.
