Researching Rides

Posted on December 4, 2024

Coming up with ride types

When I was researching ride types, I played a game called Thrillville: Off the Rails for the Nintendo DS, released in 2007.

I then made some sketches of those rides. I added some twists to the rides to match the theme of the game; killing robots by placing them into deadly theme park rides. For example, the Devil’s Wheel features a moving ball that is filled with spikes, and the Helter Skelter has a deep drop at the end.
