The animal quarters are hidden back behind the trees.

Take a ride on Drive the USA.

Here are a few in progress build pics of the street area out in front of the mountain with the coasters in it. It will have a few places to eat and shop, but most of this area is just faux sets for guests to walk past and use an entrance to the coaster and flat ride area. They will have to walk through the huge conservatory/greenhouse like building.

love the background display panel usage.

Agreed. PC2 will allow some new ideas and building. I have to say, the pathing looks so much better. no more hours upon hours of configuring paths how I want them to still have holes and weird shapes. That's what I'm looking for most. The water slide elements add anew touch as well, but not on the top of my want list. Also, the switch tracks will allow more creative takes on coater building. I hope future DLC, and maybe free updates (remember all the free updates we used to get in PC), include a lot of those loved items that are missing. While the new themes are great (I always love new themes), the do seem a bit limited in creativeness. I will still buy everything as I love this game series and is the only games I play. I too will not abandon PC1 or Plazoo as I have several projects in the works and would love to see them finished out. I will mostly spend time in PC2 figuring it out, playing around, etc. but prob will not start a new huge project until more is available.

nice - looks so real. I also love a good map.

Here is the backside of the habitat that eventually will be the back of the gorilla habitat.

Here is a video of the ride looking down from above.

The India section of the park is a hub for transportation. Being at the back of the park, just about every transportation type touches this land somehow. Light Blue - this is the path of the gondolas. No station here, but it passes along and through India on its way from either the Jungles of the world, or Egypt. Orange - this is the Orange line of the Adventure boats. Arrives here from Venice, passes through the caverns under the Temple and eventually has a station in India and continues on to Tibet. Yellow - this is the Blue Line of the Adventure Boats. It arrives from the jungles area, has a station in the caverns under the temple, and eventually moves on towards Egypt. Green - this is the people mover, called Tree Top Transport. It makes its way here from the Jungles and eventually heads back to that area after a stop at the station in India. Pink Dashes - this is the Adventure Express train line. Comes to India from Egypt, through a station, on through the caverns under the temple and off to Venice.

nice project - congrats on the win!!!

This is great. LOVE the look of this.

I'm like Wabigbear - all the way back to RCT1 original game, Before internet and forums, etc. I remember subscribing to a gamer magazine to get the scoop of when a new version was coming out and would race to Best Buy or some other store to by the new box. Been a fan since and have owned and played every version. I remember printing screen captures of my projects to post on my wall at work.

Here is the other end of the pathway. You can also see the entrance to the underground viewing port here.

Here is a video of a walkthrough/overview of this ride...maybe I should have done this earlier?

Here is the placement/layout of the rides and stations in this land. The large orange box is the general location of the two mine train coasters inside the mountain. The pink boxes are the transportation stations. The two on the right...one is for boats, the other for the train. The one i the upper left is another boat station. The one center left os for the people mover. The three blue boxes are flat rides. The purple area is a kids ride section that contains faux and real flat rides. (this brings up a good point. I hope PC2 maybe does a DLC of kids rides...something that was always missing in the game).

Nice entries....vote submitted. I don't know if I could ever make anything with in game stuff only. Its like designing with handcuffs on. :)

wow - very cool. I watched this already and no idea that was him. THX

yes they do

Here are a few shots of the other side of the habitat. Its much smaller, but animals are way closer and viewable. This also serves as a separator for the Gorilla habitat that will be built behind this. This side also has an underground viewing port.

Here is a video walking through the queue for this ride.

So lets change course here and take a look at this land as a whole. Its pretty much built out now and we can look at the details more. First an overview map. Yellow is the area we are talking about. I'm calling it the Sub-Continent (or India). This is pretty much located to the far back of the park. Actually the train and the coasters we have been looking at are beyond the actual park boundary. The green area is where Egypt is/was to the East. The Pink area was the previously looked at Island of Tibet. The Purple area to the West will be Venice. The gray area to the South-west will be Jungles of the World.

THX - Those island rocks are hiding gaps in the paths because of the issues being able to create full paths of odd shapes (not like what we will be able to do in PC2.)

Here are a few shots of the walkways between the sides of the habitat.

On last shot of the backstage area behind the Drive ride. I really didn't finish this section off that well, so I may go back and fill it in a bit more. Next we will see some videos of the Drive ride.

In order to save on piece counts, I deleted most of the back side and a bunch of interior building pieces. Seeing that you can't see any of this from the normal viewing angles from the park. One last shot from ground angle for this part of the build before I move onto the rest of the land as a whole.
