    OMG! I used to do this as a kid. I’ve also still got one of my leaflets I designed for a Theme Park called Adventure Valley that was located near Worksop. It’s a complete leaflet front and back, with full park map, facilities, show times, pictures of new rides, ticket prices, etc. I look at it now over 30 years after drawing it and am still impressed by my drawing and design. Some of my theming was absolutely epic. Shame you can’t share photos on here.

    I have designed (and a number of revisions) of a theme park that I'd like to build. Along with that, about 14 or 15 restaurants and their menus. Gift shops that don't violate copyrights and about seven arcades (a theme park I worked at, local parents used the place as a babysitting service-and they should not have). Glad to see that someone else has done almost the same thing.

    Hi both absolutely AMAZING to see how you got so drawn in with theme parks and fairs. I can remember when Alton Towers was juts a place to go and see the gardens and then rides appeared and along came the Corkscrew. I can remember queuing for the Blackhole with my older brother on the very first day of opening and queuing for over 3hrs 45 minutes and the park put on entertaininment to keep people amused on a seperate stage. It's so pleasing to watch two people so happy to share there thoughts and experiences of theme parks around the world. Keep it all going both and get out there and keep on riding. Come on Blackpool let's get Valhalla up and going 2023. Lol

    I was looking back at my theme park stuff I owned today. I found my oblivion drawing and I remember working on it for 2 weeks. I was small for my age so I didnt ever get to go in it till I was 11. I remember if I was too young or small I would draw it. I found it today along with many first time on ride photos.
    Great video shawn 🙂

    I also used to do this as a child I did my own version of a Disney style park and then my own version of chessington with rides and animals and I still have the chessington on stored safely to this day .The Disney style one is long gone .However I showed the one I have to a mate and he was super impressed with it .I made it in 1982 when I was 11 🫶🫶🫶🫶

    Left you a comment on your Instagram post but I also have many drawings from my youth of imaginary rides and theme parks from over 40 years ago. I’m so happy there are others out there like myself with dreams like these! Some of my crazy ideas came true, others are almost like ones I thought about back then (Fly’s boarding sequence) and still more that haven’t yet become a reality. Thank you for sharing this! ❤

  • @robertgray1756
    @robertgray1756 Před rokem

    A lot of detail in your brain from a early age. Makes me think that you could go on to construct some Rollercoasters or and rides via Lego or similar construction items and have them on display. Thanks for showing. Just struck me, you missed my favourite park....Seaworld Orlando !! mind more Rollercoasters there now.

    Can I just say, I'm an artist and your drawings for 7/8 years old are absolutely amazing. The way you can create perspective with all foreground & backgrounds. I would love to see you recreate one now you're older 😊 great work!

  • @Just_Another_Piece_Of_Toast

    I used to make miniature amusements parks on the floor of my room as a kid. I still remember turning my box for my PS2 into a carnival ghost train. I also made dodgems our of cars and Jenga blocks XD All that stopped when I found out about RCT2. Still my ADD addled brain would never be able to draw all those little houses. that's crazy.

  • @tiahnadavey741
    @tiahnadavey741 Před rokem

    I hope you and charlotte have a great day I love the adventure island map in Southend-On-Sea which is my local theme park, also the major project is that there is a massive Ferris wheel replacing the dodgems
    And it meant to be like the London eye opening in December this year, how is rage like since I’m going on it the first time and no idea what it’s like since I’ve always been so nervous, I hope you have a brilliant rest of the day- Tiahna😊

    I did something similar! Alas I lost mine, but I think some kids like laying out, and organising in some way, and theme parks are definitely a key one (hence Roller Coaster Tycoon, Theme Park, those games) I used to make these layouts and imagine walking round it. These are amazing mate

  • @coasterfest
    @coasterfest Před rokem

    This is bloody brilliant. Best park related video I've watched for ages. Just nice to know we weren't that weird after all.
    I used to do the same, even in Secondary school. In yr 7 art we had 'sketch books' and every week we had to sketch something as homework. Whenever I could shoehorn something coaster related into the week's theme, I would do, and those sketches would be 10 x better than any of my other art homework. My best sketch was of the Big One in Blackpool, it was so much better than any of my other work that my teacher sat me down and asked me why I could sketch coasters so well, and why I didn't put as much effort into any of my other art work!!!
    Thanks for the video guys, made a nice change going down memory lane.

  • @fReDfRinGe
    @fReDfRinGe Před rokem

    These are great! I used to love doing theme park designs on paper too. Mainly, I would design them on Theme Park World or RollarCoaster Tycoon and then try and remember them and draw them out. Maybe you should draw out a new one now? Inspired by all the new parks you’ve been to! Though I’m not sure how many pieces of paper you’d need for that 😂

  • @gavinsadventuresinterests.

    I think it's really nice how you have managed to preserve these in storage for so long.
    And for drawings that are 15- 20 years old, they are in very good condition.
    The drawings themselves are pretty good as well considering you were only a kid when you did them.
    You need to keep hold of those drawings & maybe show them to your own children one day if you decide to have children in the future.
