The construction walls are coming down and WOW the result is breathtaking, that last update may be the most realistic thing I've ever seen to come out of any of these games. This is freakishly well done it's almost scary!

This seems like such a magical place to visit in real life, especially at night. You've managed to make this area feel so cozy, fantastic job so far!

Not only is the terraforming really cool but that track is crazy smooth and beautiful. I'm getting massive runaway train vibes from this!

That layout is insane, the top-down view helps so much. I think this may be my favorite attraction you've made so far in all of your projects, seriously great job theming this and making each area feel unique and tucked away. You do a really good job of that facade front and hiding everything else so when you're in a new area on the attraction you are actually in that area and don't see what's behind the curtain.

THIS AREA IS SO CUTE I'M GONNA DIE Seriously LOVE what you both are doing with this park! You both are hitting the nail right on the head with Munchkinland! It all looks so beautiful!

A new StickyGum project... in this day and age!? You have no idea how happy I am to see that you're working on something and sharing it! Haven't seen this since the vPyro days (I wasn't very active on SGW)! Like others have said it's a pretty neat beginning, the building is pretty good and does a very good job of hiding the show building behind it. I'm not much of a park person (as you know, cue the Epcot PTSD) so I'll let the more experienced park peeps give you tips but the only thing I can advise on is that I'd like to see some more landscaping and foliage! With an abandoned manor like this normally foliage and plants have really made their way into all areas of the land so reflecting that around the building will be a nice touch. Super happy to see you posting again, AND OF COURSE WE WANT TO SEE MORE!

I personally don't have that CS pack but if someone does and is willing to send it then I can upload the download file! Thanks for pointing it out!

Sounds like a good idea! That topic would probably live best right here in Community Chat so feel free to open one up and start the thread!

Looks like a fun trip! Can't even remember the last time I went to an actual zoo but it looks like you had a fun day - thanks for sharing!

Agreed - the color palette here is beautiful! Everything just pops out at you and is so vibrant, nice job!

I hope the park doesn't close, it's coming along nicely!! We should start a petition 😅

Thanks! If you're talking about the light pillars, those are from my Waterworks pack! Maybe one of these days I can get on a call with you and show you some behind the scenes stuff on this show if you're interested 👀

Fun little show! I know this has been brought up before but were you inspired by the Iris to make this?

It's a gorgeous project! Congrats again!

Oh no, sad to hear you lost the original files but happy you're redoing it! It's looking great so far - congrats on the PCA win for this park as well!

'My, how they stare.' The Star Forger once graced the vast emptiness of the cosmos with celestial wonders of his own devising. Now, he is forced to wield his awesome power at the behest of a space-faring empire that tricked him into servitude. Desiring a return to his star-forging ways, the Forger will drag the very stars from the sky, if he must, in order to regain his freedom. Inspired by League of Legend's Aurelion Sol's lore, 'The Star Forger' is an epic yet beautiful pyrotechnic show made in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 now remastered in 4K with new effects! --- --- Relive the hype from the 2024 ParkCrafters Awards with the trailer here, also in 4K! Hope you all enjoy the show!

I've voted at the top! I feel like every old great park needs at least one woodie! The new park map is coming along beautifully, can't wait for future updates!

I know I've said it a billion times before but the POV for this ride is going to be so crazy, just quickly going through all these winding tunnels you are hand crafting with all those fire effects and lighting you have.. ahh I can't wait to see it!

The overview shots reveal so much, wow - you guys have managed to stuff so much detail in such small areas. I also LOVE that rainbow bridge into Oz, super clever idea!

Gosh some of those screenshots are just so beautiful, the one with the peacock in it looks almost lifelike - the realism in this project is outstanding!

Oh that's neat, using the statues to look like balloons haha - loving all the small details like that! As someone who hasn't delved much into Planet Zoo yet, I would have never even been able to tell the difference!

Happy One Year Anniversary! Hey everyone, No major announcement or community update here but I wanted to take the time to announce and give a quick retrospective on ParkCrafters! If you haven't noticed by now, today is our one year anniversary - on this day last year, ParkCrafters opened its doors to the public, marking a new (and much needed) home for all things virtual theme parks and simulations. One year ago today I took a chance on creating a new website and forum for a niche community that I thought was long gone. With the announcement of ShyGuysWorld closing, I felt that there needed to be a place that many of us could still call home. A place to continue creating parks, attractions, landscapes, pyro shows, custom models, coasters, and more and to still share it with everyone else. A place to archive all the many years of history in this community, a place to continue to host downloads so many can still look back at the many decades of history and continue to create new projects. Creating ParkCrafters was very much a risk and I fully expected the community and forum to not be active at all and for this site to mainly just be an archive. It's heartening to see that after just one year we have achieved so much and I have been proven completely wrong. New projects are springing up left and right - projects from games and art forms that I had thought to be long dead due to the rise of social media and the decline of forums. From RCT 1 & 2 projects to pyro shows, to dark rides in Planet Coaster - I thought many of these communities were lost to the ages. However, in the past 12 months, we have managed to do and achieve so much. In just one year, ParkCrafters has seen: 68 Status Updates 296 Topics 3,613 Posts 3,397 Files Uploaded 75 File Comments 58 File Reviews 88 Personal Messages sent between members 2,627 Reactions 45,530 File Downloads 861 Total Members 166,924 Achievement Points Earned 6,837,758 Visits Migrations of ALL Custom Scenery Files from ShyGuysWorld to ParkCrafters First Competition Being Held First Award Show Being Held And much more! Obviously, the risk has paid off! ParkCrafters has become a resounding success with many more features, events, competitions, and more planned on the way! At this time I'd like to take a moment to thank each and every one of you who has made ParkCrafters what it is today. To all the members who continue to share their work and engage in other members' projects, to all of the ParkCrafters staff for helping run this community, to all the volunteers who helped migrate the CSDepot over to ParkCrafters, and to all who even just visit this community or just visit to download files. Every one of you has helped make ParkCrafters a success today and I can't thank you all enough! As we look to the future, ParkCrafters will continue to carry forward the spirit and creativity that this community thrives on so much. We will continue to release new features and events to help unify this small but mighty community and of course, continue to host everything as long as we can. Happy anniversary, everyone and ParkCrafters! Let's continue to make this community an interactive and shining example of creativity that you all continue to bring every day! Here's to another year of ParkCrafters - what will the future hold for next year!? The celebration doesn't end here though! Don't forget that tonight is the first ever ParkCrafters Awards at 9 PM EST on our Discord server! Be sure to join us to celebrate all the great projects and creativity from this past year on ParkCrafters and to see who wins the ParkCrafters Awards and the Canvas Clash competition! If you're looking for more info on all of this, be sure to read this thread. Thanks again all and keep on sharing your projects and creativity! See you all tonight at the awards! - wolfpaw
