Hey folks! Big update on this one. I high-key locked in on this park over the past few days (which really means that I became a hermit and didn't talk to anyone), so let's dive in. First up, I built a train station and began filling the dead space leading up to it. The station isn't of much use right now since the train isn't a circuit yet, but it's nice to have the building there. What's been more interesting is rest of the space leading up to the station. I've used this opportunity to finally play around with the new Restaurants, and man oh man do I love these suckers. We're gonna get a lot more of these before we're done with this park, I've really fallen in love with them. This one has indoor and outdoor seating, and the back patio is right in the nook of the railroad, so you can get a good look at the train as it passes by. Just up the path, there was a small corner empty and in need of something. I didn't really have a good use for the space, so I began a small nature trail of sorts. It has some benches and a few large boulders to help seclude it from the rest of the park. I think this is going to continue on the other side, but I'm not sure yet. Time will tell. Next up, over by the wooden coaster, I've added another restaurant! Now that I've learned some things from the first one, I was able to plan this one a little more, and I think it came out really great. Making good use of the path stamps, we have an octagonal balcony where most of the seating is overlooking the wooden coaster as it zips by. Oughta make for some entertaining meals! I've also started playing with lighting! You'll for sure have noticed the street lamps in these photos, and I'm slowly making my way around the park to light up each attraction and building. For the most part, this is being done with scenery lighting, but this is also being accomplished with strategically placed spotlights that get hidden in a variety of manners: rooftops, overhangs, in rocks, on supports, etc. All the tricks are being used here. This is still very much a WIP, so feel free to give any tips you have. That's all for now! Next time we'll have to talk about this big green box... 😉 - StickyGum32

The nurse's station

Around the corner from the Sandwich Port is the First Aid Center. The lobby

Hi everyone! Not sure if y'all remember me but I am MGL from the vPyro and creator's lounge days. It's been so many years since I've touched RCT3 but I just came across this community and I'm so happy that it's still going strong! I remember doing firework and fountain shows and it was a huge part of my life when I was still in school. Nowadays, I do music production (specifically trance) for fun but I still have this urge to maybe return to my old roots of making firework shows again. I just have to go back and remember how to do custom sets again. Also, Every time I hear a piece of music I still imagine a firework and fountain show dancing to it in my head lol. Here is my firework youtube channel where I would upload all my shows. So many memories making these. https://www.youtube.com/@Mgl567

The First Aid Center sign has been changed from a free-standing one to this more permanent one. More artwork hanging on the hallway walls. The examination room Down the hall is a small restroom. I've made so many of these, I'm considering changing the park's name to Toilet World. Backstage area behind the First Aid Center/Sandwich Port building. In case any guest is badly injured, an ambulance is available to rush them to the hospital. But nothing like that would ever happen to a guest at a Wonder park.

I wonder if it is time for me to get back to work. "This other Eden, this Demi Paradise, this precious stone set in the silver sea, this Earth, this realm, this Los Angeles." - William Shakespeare

Another view of the First Aid lobby. This room is set aside for people needing to lie down, rest, or wait to see a registered nurse if needed.

The RCT3 version of the park had a racing coaster named Racing Roller this building would have been used this as the station, it is a repurposed building form the original fairgrounds that now is part of the queue for Roller's Revenge. RMC refurbishment. Another bit of history in the shadows of the RMC. The old Lake Lodge has been here for years.

A glowing Mickey head???

Here is a ride on the coaster looking down from above.

Continuing our tour of Fantasyland... Blue Fairy Ice Cream stall is up ahead... Along with the Fantasyland Cheese Shop (if the mice leave any...) Under the passageway we find a path leading down to The Ugly Duckling Swan Boats... The Mill House Tavern...hearty fare and root beers... Heading back to the main street...Lady Cluck's Housewares... Friar Tuck's Burgers and Brew... The Castle in the distance... Sir Mickey's Gifts... Thumper's Children's Wear... Restrooms on the right... Looking back the way we came... Again, apologies for the muddy in-game textures! Until next time...

A place to grab a hat next to the ride.

I was making sure people actually read the descriptions and not just glance at the screenshots! LOL! Although admittedly my version I think would make a great live action after-school special...

It's so realistic! Love the artwork too I wonder how many times Wanda was laid out on that exam table having her stomach pumped while trying to figure out which animal was on that eye chart, or what's the name of the hunk on the human body graphic...

What it looks like when you can't leave things alone... The RCT3 version of the park had a pretty standard midway in the center. There wasn't much of a theme to it. In this version I changed it up and call it the Midcentury Midway. This originally was a little side project where I was making small fast food joints, but it fit in so well I gave it purpose on the midway. I will stop here, because that is something completely different.

Hmm, Toilet World doesn't slide off the tongue quite as easily as Wonder World. But if the shoe fits...

For Mickey Mouse Park I created 95 TMTK items. Those are now set to public if anyone has a desire to download something. As always I create items for my use first, so some have large file sizes, some large texture file sizes, many are imperfect. But if anyone finds a use for even one of them they are welcome to them. A few have textures set to LIT, a few are only one-sided, a few have multiple versions, there is even a couple that I never used in the park, but they were made so I included them... These are under my name in the Workshop, and all have the prefix of MM-...

Wanda probably sleeps it off there once or twice a week....

actually looks like a great free update.

As announced yesterday, Main Street is under a major rework project. To coincide with this, here is a partial reveal of a completed section. Many tests to determine path width, path color, and location of details took place. Town Square is currently under heavy refurbishment to get the details of the Town Square Theater and surrounding areas prepared. The intention is to work the front half of Main Street first and then keep progressing further to reach the castle. From there, the existing design of Adventureland, Fantasyland, and Tomorrowland will be evaluated and more than likely be reworked to reach the same level of detail. Main Street is going to set a new standard of park crafting in my recent projects and aligns with the park getting older by the day (along with the game itself).

Going around the helix/canyon at night.

More from around this ride.

After leaving the station you start a gradual climb following the couture of the terrain back up to a higher track.

Yes. Currently you can set the weather type you want in Sandbox mode. I assume that will be the same for snow and thunderstorms. Well, I'm very impressed by this new update. Lots of things being added that I expect were planned, but put off for the premature release. These are almost ALL the things I was hoping to get for the winter update. The only thing missing is the snowy biome, but that could be coming, but not yet revealed. It also looks like I'll be replacing the heat lamps once again in my Wonder World restaurants. 🙄

Another free update coming December 4th! Some key features: Animated scenery is now scalable New spring mechanic to attach to scenery to move them More new blueprints from Planet Coaster 1 New coasters and coaster pieces Better management options and prestige balancing Small improved UI tweaks like more information on tooltips and utility pieces Weather system has been updated and now has thunderstorms with lightning that can strike your rides, snow that can freeze pools without pool heaters, and more weather customization and dangers for guests like sunburns Festive scenery is being added for free, with over 200 pieces! Teaser of the next big update will come on December 1st Here's the full video with all the details:

Oh now that's cool looking. I like how the couches don't have a shiny texture, but look matte and much more realistic, as is the whole waiting room. First Aid round the corner from the Sandwich Port...Mr Wonder still buying from Vinnie's Discount Lunch Meats - you know those pull-dates aren't really just a suggestion?

Really loving this Olde Worlde Fairytale architecture and all the pleasant trees and flowers. We have Sir Mickey, but I was also looking for Sir Cumference and Sir Loinsteak. (They were characters in a Goofy cartoon.)

Nice, Cody! Can't wait to see what else you come up with. I still would say, wait till December for the Christmas theme, lol!

Everything is so detailed. I could not imagine having that much detail in the interiors.

Utility areas - so important and often forgotten. I like the fresh and clean look.

Here is a POV from on the coaster.

A quick dip under the bridge...

Of course nothing like that would ever happen...

You can even get gas with your meal! Oh, wait...

you guys crack me up....so weather deprived

love the look of this area

If you look carefully at the last segment of the video, there are plenty of new objects...all toy related. Looking through the windows, you can see what looks like a parachute drop, possibly like the one in Toy Story Land at the overseas Disney parks. Lots of requests for kid's attractions, so this looks like that's the route they're going for the new DLC.

Pretty sure camcorders came out before DVDs, so that would eliminate options C and D. And it seems like WWW was created fairly early as well. So I agree with citytrader: A: The First Camcorder is release by Sony, The WWW is invented by Tim Berners-Lee, The first DVD is sold

New Update! Matterhorn Bobsleds!

As of this weekend, Main Street will be seeing a much larger rework than anticipated. This rework involves adding more details, reworking path covers, and other elements to improve the area. I am excited to share the changes here soon, those who saw livestreams taken within the park were able to see the refurbishment go into full overdrive.

Hey everyone! Life has kept me a little busy (I'm about to go back out on the ocean again soon), but I've got a small update for you here. This is a simple but necessary update in my opinion. No huge changes per se, but changes that are definitely helping to tidy up some loose ends in the park. First and foremost, we have a new flat: a Ferris Wheel. It's tucked over by the wing coaster, and provides an excellent view of the area from the tree tops. I also redesigned the station for the wooden coaster, which has resulted in a better design overall, and a slightly smaller queue line (so less peeps are held up waiting on the ride instead of enjoying other offerings). Finally, I've started planning a train route. I do love having a train as a transit means for the park, and this one weaves around and through the mountain that houses the rapids and mine train. It's also given me the opportunity to take a section of the rapids and turn it into a canyon river, which came out looking really nice! More to come soon! - StickyGum32

Yes. Both the San Diego Zoo and the Safari Park have a small stage near the front of each park that (used to) showcase their "animal ambassadors"...animals trained to be comfortable with being up close to guests. Although recently, neither one has been utilized for that purpose. The zoo's stage is now used for musical presentations during holiday periods, and I haven't seen anything go on at the one at the Safari Park the last few times I've visited.

Yeah, Critter Encounter is a really nice idea for a little guest interaction before the main part of the zoo. Is that based on anything similar at the San Diego zoo?

love the critter encounter idea and look

Shyguy already corrected me; Wanda is not in that photo.

That pig looks terrible! It should sue the plastic surgeon.

The Sandwich Port is a great spot to grab lunch in the Waterfront area of Expo 3000. Animatronic droids take guest's orders. The condiment bar The menu has a nice selection of sandwiches to choose from. Outdoor dining along the water's edge.
