Here is a first draft of the jeep ride path going through this habitat.

Across from the coaster entrance is the entrance for the (faux) Swan Boat ride.

After passing through the conservatory, you enter the plaza that leads to the queues for the mine train coasters (remember those? Its about time to see the completed versions of those).

One last loop before heading back to the station.

I'm going to try and start making these showcases on a more regular basis.

The start of the build for the barn (old pachyderm house) and the habitat fences.

Another angle of this interchange of pathways.

Inside the conservatory.

I have seen those in some food stands up here...when I was in Florida.

Some of the below ground level dives and loops on this coaster.

Answer to Question 10: Topic of Big Business Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing was invented at… A: On Alaska’s Hidden Valley Ranch Sorry - my choices for this one were not 100% accurate. 🫠 Don't abuse me. While it was invented by a cook in the Alaska outback, it wasn’t until he moved his family to California, bought a ranch and named it Hidden Valley Ranch, before he named the dressing and used it in a restaurant he opened on the ranch.

Moving onto the next section of the zoo. This will be the African ungulate area, which will also have a jeep ride and large animal barn. The barn will be the old pachyderm building currenly in the zoo. Again this is somewhat following the master plan I have been working from. -The white area will be the barn and the large ungulate habitat. -The pink line within the white is the estimate track of the jeep ride. -Orange will be the rhinos -Yellow will be the hippos -Blue will be African water birds -Purple will be the future African savanna Here is it overlaid onto the master plan using the same colors for reference. My biggest revision is that the ungulate area is really expanded in size and the addition of the tracked ride.

The entrance to Sorcerer's Rage

There is also a secondary entrance to the conservatory from the side that I added to help bottlenecks on the path, but after doing this it really isn't needed as no one is using this pathway.

Here is the general layout of the third interacting coaster. The Norse god Odin's coaster. This again is the same coaster type as the other two, but this layout has a couple high roll-over loops on its way out and from the battle arena.

Answer to Question 9: Topic of Big Business What do many farmers add to their cow’s conventional feed as a cheap substitute for corn? A: Skittles and other candy, chocolate, cereal, or molasses. Sugar helps cows with digestion, increases milk production and fattens up beef cattle. Mars Inc. sells their unused candies to companies that melt them down and add to livestock feed. Farmers typically buy this to save money when the cost of corn (the typical sweetener used) is too high.

And here is the outside. one is a real picture, but the other is a concept art of a revamp that might be planned. It kind of still follows the master plan I'm working from, but not exactly. The main thing to note is the part of the building circled in white is what currently exists.

Here are a couple shots of the real inside. Each of these only represents about a third of the actual building. there are three sections. South America, Asia, Africa. This shows part of Africa and one of the others (not sure which one). Note the bridge that shows the level the walkway is.

No big secret. In the real zoo that I'm reconfiguring here, that is for an area called Tropic World. Its a huge primates, apes, and other tropical animals gathering of habitats and exhibits. The building is huge, but more importantly, its also half under ground. This allowed them to have a massive indoor space, but to only build a vertical structure for part of it. The guest walkways are about ground level, or a bit higher. the habitats go down and above the walkways. So, that the footprint for the Tropic world structure.

And...I'm surprised you didn't ask about the gigantic grave site dug in a few of these shots.

In game, when the seasons switch, its done in real time as the background elements continue to function in real time. That video just happened to be captured as the final snow 'melted' and it went back to a non-snow weather pattern. So summed up. I didn't do anything special except capture video at the right moment.

Here is a video recap of this area.
