PORTER RANCH, CA Pantera Entertainment is developing Theme Park Studio, an advanced theme park and roller coaster builder for the PC. Theme Park Studio has been in development for several months, and Pantera is launching a crowd funding campaign via Kickstarter with the goal of releasing the title this fall.
According to the company, Theme Park Studio is a set of tools that allows players to build amazing theme parks of their own design. The simulator includes a robust coaster editor that is both easy to use and flexible, allowing rails to be bent, twisted, and shaped into almost any design imaginable. With brakes, accelerators, tunnels, and custom mesh, there is virtually no limit to what players can come up with. Prefabricated templates also provide the ease of click-and-drop designs.
Theme Park Studio breaks new ground with its new custom flat rides designer, a unique tool that gives players the opportunity to design, build, and invent custom rides, or simply select from the extensive library of pre-built rides, according to Pantera. Extensive landscaping tools, custom scenery importing, and advanced vegetation solutions that make trees, bushes and flowers react to wind and turbulence make it possible to create stunning, picturesque environments. A full particle effects editor delivers amazing and realistic visuals, and full 3D stereoscopic support lets you experience your rides in eye-popping 3D. When your park is complete, open the gates and watch guests tour your park and enjoy the coasters and rides.
It began as a project we wanted to build for the community, especially now that the future of other theme park franchises is in doubt, says Steve Fielding, president of Pantera Entertainment. Our idea was to integrate our tools and technology into one massively powerful theme park creator that gives fans unprecedented control of their designs and creations. We had a great engine and a sophisticated set of tools we had been using for internal development, and we love designing roller coasters and theme parks, so this was a great way to release a product that packs a real punch technologically. The Season Pass recently covered the simulation on their podcast, which can be found at http://traffic.libsyn.com/seasonpasspodcast/The_Season_Pass_230.mp3
Early response toTheme Park Studio has been extremely positive. Robb Alvey of ThemeParkReview.com says, Theme Park Studio is everything you could want in a theme park simulation game. Adds George Taylor of Micechat.com, Theme Park Studio should make a lot of the Roller Coaster Tycoon fans very happy as well as breathing new life into the theme park and roller coaster sim market. Orlando Attractions Magazine says, For all the people who want to be an Imagineer, this is the game for you.
Pantera has extensive experience creating theme park and roller coaster simulators, with a portfolio that includes one of the most advanced roller coaster designers ever created,Hyper Rails, as well as Roller Coaster Factory, 3D Roller Coaster Designer and 3D Snowboard Resort Designer on PC, and Six Flags Fun Park for the Wii.
The Kickstarter campaign launched recently at: Ultimate Theme Park Kickstarter. Rewards range from themed wallpaper for a $5.00 Park Guest contribution up to $5,000 Executive Producer level, which includes a stay at the Disneyland Hotel and invitation to the Theme Park Studio wrap party, among other perks.
Were getting great feedback as word has spread aboutTheme Park Studio, and its really exciting, says Fielding. Crowd funding will enable us to produce a complete product with the features that people have been asking for, such as pre-built ride libraries, and get it to market much more quickly.
