Me (Coasterfan312) and 2 friends (Aaruse and Henrie_99) are currently working on a remake of the Alton Towers park in Minecraft, exactly to scale (1 block = 1 metre, and at the same angle relative to the park's position on Earth). As of this first post, we've completed X-Sector, Duel (Gloomy Woods), Towers Street, most of Mutiny Bay, most of the entrance area, and are currently working our way through Sonic Spinball and the front of Cbeebies Land.
You don't have to, of course, but if you have Minecraft and want to see it progress in person for yourself, feel free to hop on: imagineeringmc.mcph.co:25976 (as well as Alton Towers, we've also got Disneyland Park, a custom Disney Resort, and a load of random real and custom rides).
I'll post new updates on this thread every so often (assuming I don't forget :P).
Here are some pictures and videos of what we've got so far:

Thanks It's hard to say exactly how long we've been working on it, since we've been doing it on and off for a couple of months, but I'd say about 30-40 hours went into everything we've done so far.
Soundtracks were made by me on AIR Ignite with help from a Mini MIDI Keyboard :P

Update #01 - Duel & Hex:
I forgot to include a picture of Duel in the last post, so I've put one here.
Since the last update we've been working on linking up X-Sector to Towers Street to Mutiny Bay so guests can roam around in it. Sonic Spinball's basically done (but we're leaving Cbeebies Land until later), and we're now working at and around the towers, including Hex which is currently in progress.

Update #03 - Multiple Things:
I waited a while this time, since it's probably best not to do loads of small updates.
The main additions are as follows:
Sonic Spinball completed:
Cbeebies Land front area completed (not bothering with a picture :P)
Lots of the Dark Forest completed:
Charlie And The Chocolate Factory façade completed:
Cloud Cuckoo Land work started:

Currently working on another small-ish project, so updates will be halted until AT is continued.

A brand new, interactive dark-ride as begun construction, themed to a popular movie series. Can you guess the IP? (Clue: 13 Dwarves) The first person to guess correctly can name the dive-coaster (construction on that has not begun)!
