  1. The first image reminds me of Elrond's Rivendell. The second image reminds me of Sauron's Mount Doom. Nice contrast in looks and emotions.
  2. Nice to see this park here on ParkCrafters. I followed your progress on Shyguy's World. Your username there was Forlocke? (Or something like that?) I remember parks, but I sometimes forget the creators names. 🙃
  3. A paddle boat, yes. But I think the Big Easy is reminiscent of Disneyland's old Chicken Plantation restaurant, which was torn down in 1962 to make room for New Orleans Square. Big Easy is more elegant, though. Really nice fountain in the "parc", and I love the trumpet-shaped drinking fountain. I'm glad we get to see inside the Krewe (or Kewe) Warehouse to see the various parts of the floats. Isn't that the same scary Jack-in-the-Box that we saw in one of Fisherman's(?) parks? It's been a few years, so I'm not sure.
  4. Love the entrance sign with the Yellow Brick Road winding its way underneath; very evocative of the movie.

    I really like that first image! Colorful, lots of action, with perfect lighting.
  6. You make such excellent videos! I really like the cinematic and action shots. Thanks!
  7. Wow, you guys have been busy behind the scenes! Really cool 1880s architecture, including factories and machinery. I like that steam-powered flat ride (don't know the name of it) with the undulating track. It appears to be a working ride, since the in-game exit is there. It really fits the theme. "Edison vs Tesla": I'm more interested in Tesla, so that would be my first choice. But obviously, I would do both! Are there any actual rides inside? The Department Store interior looks great! Too bad that the merchandise billboards are milky looking; or was that intentional? The Wagi Woolens building is a fine example of 1800s industrial architecture. And what would the 1800s be without "itchy, scratchy apparel"? I assume one can buy plush versions of the Cat and the Mouse inside? Disney does own The Simpsons after all. That looks like "Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel" digging a hole under the Industrial Revolution track. I remember reading that book in our grade school library when I was 7 or 8, around 1960. I love the dingy, faded coloring of the coaster. A long, but excellent update. Thanks!
  8. "(although I'll not be making 300+ objects like I did for our DisneyAmerica...)" That's what you always say, and yet, 300+ objects end up getting made anyway. Funny how that works.😛
  9. As soon as the image came up, I thought, "OZ"! And that was even before I saw the giant Oz Wheel. Beautiful and exciting!
  10. Good for you, Cody! (I knew it was just a matter of time). ;-p Soooo, do we call you Mr. Cody now? Or maybe Sir Cody? (Oops, did I just earn my first 'warning point'?) haha. Just joking. LOL.😛
  11. I liked the alternating blue/violet vertical lasers at 2:30. It's an interesting way to get movement into the show without any actual movement.

    Wow, that's a huge pile of red meat for the caracals. Or maybe they're just spreading their sleeping bags out for the night.

    I'm sure there's a reason why that fire hydrant is spewing water without a hose connected to it... but I can't think of what it could be.🫤
  14. Whoa ("whoa" is my word-of-the-day today), It's a tough choice to say which is creepier: The Planco toothy guy, or the Steeplechase Park toothy guy. I like that the circus animals have proper outdoor pens to wander around in, not just some cramped indoor cages.
  15. Whoa, I didn't realize that the Circus was 'open air', roofless. I expected a Big Top tent or an indoor convention center type of thing. But I actually like this better! It looks great under natural sunlight. More exciting! Hey, you can't fool me with that old postcard trick again. To quote an ex-president: "Fool me once, shame on... shame on you. Fool me--- you can't get fooled again".😛 Looks great.

    I know my caracal very well, thank you. Her name is Cara. That monkey balloon is frightening! Looks too much like the toothy Steeplechase Park guy.

    Looking at that last pic, it occurs to me that... Geez, there are a LOT of buildings on fire in this neighborhood! They must not be up to code.😛 Thanks for showing us the 'flip side' of that billboard wall. I was having trouble visualizing what the Magic Gardens side looked like.
  18. Love the Art Deco entrance structure. Nice to see this park make the jump to ParkCrafters.🙂
  19. To be honest, it's been many years since I used the Dump utility (JonWil made it, so you know it goes waaay back!). I do recall looking at some actual textures that it extracted, though. Maybe it was some other RCT3 tool that I used then? I don't think so; I'm pretty sure that this Dumper is the only utility we have that's capable of doing this. I can only suggest that you experiment with the Dumper and see if you can get the texture to be displayed.🙂
  20. The RCT3 File Dumper tool extracts textures from OVL files: https://parkcrafters.com/files/category/7-tools-utilities/ It sounds like you can already extract textures, so this tool probably won't be of much help with your problem, but you never know.🙂
  21. Looks like a Jenga tower, about ready to collapse.😛 Kinda amazing actually.
  22. Ah, I see. I still don't remember it.🙃 They look sorta like the base of a pyramid. Kinda neat, actually.
  23. I don't remember seeing that slanted, half buried structure on the left. Have we seen it, and I just forgot?
  24. I especially liked the set design of Empyrean. The 'pier' provided a lot of front to back depth for the show. At times, we were immersed in it. Excellent use of water fountains, too.👍 Welcome to ParkCrafters!
  25. Visually, I like the Bayou Bay area best, so far. Admittedly, there isn't much to see yet, but it holds a lot of promise.
