Maybe next time try a different file format that doesn't load as slow, like mp4 or webm. Maybe even just a screenshot. I do like the concept and the mix of cars. Only the tram vehicle looks a bit out of place.

Done. Just had no time for converting yesterday

Why of course! What drive-in theater doesn't have a funny looking car selling ice cream?

[S-Man42]

No tram anymore (updated video). The more I looked at it the more I felt like you

But the shark stays

 

Edit:

Maybe I can ask you a question: I didn't know how to put all these vehicles to the cinema. My way seems to be very strange but I don't know any better:

For every static vehicle I build a short track (station, two turns, one straight, two turns), set entrance and exit, made them invisible, set to crooked house, opened the track (out the vehicle) and closed it. And this for every single car.  I am sure there is a much better way

If you actually want a real ride vehicle, that's the way you do it. But for cars, I think most people would use scenery objects unless you want them to move.

Ok, thx. No I don't want to add some scenery. I am waiting for the cool new file format which allows more scenery objects

[saxman1089]

You may be waiting a while for that file format.

[S-Man42]

I am sure about it

But nevertheless I am having only 256 possible small scenery objects. And I do not know which of them I can remove for a car object...

If you aren't using the car ride anywhere else you're still taking an object slot (but it's a ride object not a scenery object). You're also using a ride slot for every car you place, and several more map data slots than a scenery item would take. The only thing you save is a single scenery slot (although technically you could put the car object sprite into a large scenery object that you're already using so it doesn't take any extra slots. This is a bit bothersome though.).

[S-Man42]

Yes it is because the small scenery problem. I have no problem with the ride objects

Btw. is there a tutorial on how to create own objects? Your idea with one large object sounds interesting. Like a use case for learing how to do it
