eenenveertig (Only know a few words in Dutch as I grew up near a small town that was mostly immigrants from the Netherlands...not even sure I spelled it right!)

Nice to see you here, and it's also nice to see some work in RCT3...brings back many a memory!

Thanks guys! I can't take credit for all the buildings, many are blueprints by others I got from the Workshop. However many of them I have tweaked, even removing entire floors of a taller multi-story building, or taking a facade that's great but not wide enough and duplicating parts to make it fit what I needed. Later on there's a hotel structure I'll show where I took a two-story/two tile wide Art Deco facade and built a eight story half-block hotel out of it. Or taking a Pullman-style railroad car and making a diner out of it - all of it depends on the skills of the original creator, I just build off the strong bones they provided. As for the tourist cabins, I knew about them of course - Citytrader probably mentioned seeing them when he was middle aged - but I stumbled across a photo online that inspired me... These existed around the country, I'm not sure they had them around Los Angeles, but I still loved the idea...

Correct. The park proper itself also isn't laid out according to the actual physical space there was available - just loosely based on it. In reality Riverside Dr isn't a straight shot from the look of the current Google map images, and many of the side streets match up to it at an angle, and also different areas are residential. I just borrowed some of the real-life street names, placement of streets and structures is totally from my imagination.

You have just massive skills creating realistic settings, the foliage here is just spot on. I just really admire your work.

This is just so well done. Love the level of details you`ve added.

Love that ad! Cool to see ancient film clips from back then...long, looooooong before I was born of course.

Thanks for the kind replies everyone - most appreciated! I got in too much of a hurry showing off the Carthay Circle Theater, so we'll back track to the last block and explore a little more... Back to the Modern Gas Station where we'll turn onto S. Sparks St. (not all of the street names are legit, but I did look on Google Maps to find most of them...) There's Grover Drugs...must be a chain drug store because I've seen that name before...multiple times in fact... And we have Sid Cahuenga's One-Of-A-Kind Shop... (I purchased a great framed photo of Walt Disney with his auto-pen signature from the shop at Hollywood Studios years ago...still hangs on my sun room wall...) Next up is the Riverside Tourist Cabins. Before the advent of motels, many of these spots were scattered across the country, each with a collection of small cabins - little more than big enough for a bed, a chair and - if lucky - indoor plumbing. Sometimes a small playground for the kids, and picnic tables and a firepit. Usually found in tourist areas or small towns without a larger hotel. They were also relatively cheap lodging for the night... People could park their cars right outside of their cabin... Comfortable if basic lodging back in those days... Around the corner is Rich St., named for an elderly curmudgeon noted for his extreme longevity... It's a residential street, largely of cookie-cutter Four-Square style homes erected by a developer some years ago... Many were starting to be subdivided into multiple apartments as they aged and the neighborhood grew... Just down the street is one of the ritzy private clubs serving famous and wealthy, including many stars of the Silver Screen... We'll head back over to Riverside Drive now... On the other side of Riverside Dr is the walls surrounding Mickey Mouse Park. Of course Disney invented 'synergy' so of course they plaster the walls with tasteful billboards advertising their latest feature films... (The Carthay Circle billboard is an image of an authentic one made into a TMTK...) I absolutely love this Baroque office building...in fact I tweaked it and used it to create two different structures in our Wonderful Wizard of Oz Park. Here I did shorten the building by several stories to help lessen sight-line problems from within the park, but I still think it looks grand. It featured a gorgeous theater marquee, so I decided it should carry the name of the famous El Capitan Theater in LA, a theater I think Disney now owns. I just changed some signs and decided that Disney's Dumbo would be playing here... Next door is yet another Workshop find...this was the Castro Theater that I tweaked and renamed the "Metro". As I'm sure must come as a shock to everyone, here is playing "The Wizard of Oz", in all it's Technicolor glory... And some nighttime screenshots... I would have loved to added more details like having some windows lit for nighttime screens, some more sidewalk and storefront details, but...this isn't even INSIDE of the park and as I said before the textures are starting to go downhill fairly fast. I might make a bench in the future with just this outside the park exterior area so I can finish it off as I want later on... A sincere to all those who shared their fantastic blueprints and TMTK creations in the Workshop, this project simply would not exist without them. There's more to see before we make our way towards the park entrance...

Trinta e oito (38 in Portuguese...)

As I said, this is a re-imagining of an imaginary park as envisioned by Walt and his workers at the Disney Studios. It's LOOSELY based on the plans above, and since that park never was built, this version has only existed in my mind...a rather cluttered and dangerous place indeed. Thus dates may be changed (this is kinda in the era of 1940 or so, but some things will be from slightly before that year while other things will be from slightly after), locations or place names may be changed (for instance the Walt Disney Studios shown here was it's earlier Hyperion Ave. campus and not it's location on Riverside Dr where the park was actually planned. I just liked how my Disney Studios building I made for our Disney America Park turned out and decided to use it again...). I've strayed from the plans above, expanded them as if funding had been available, but somewhat in a similar layout. I did add an area dedicated to Fantasy, as this hypothetical park would have opened during Disney's Golden Era of animated fairytale-themed features. Because the area outside of the park seemed really bare, I added on a complete cityscape. It turned out really nice, but strained my computer a bit, even with a decent video card the textures really went downhill. So I made the decision to show off that exterior city first, then remove most of it on a copy of the bench so I can finish off the details inside the park itself and hopefully gain back some of the texture details... So these screens won't feature any peeps roaming the streets, perhaps not as many vehicles as I hoped for, not quite the level of detail I like, but I think they'll still give a feel of what I envisioned for the areas surrounding the park. So let's begin our tour... We're going to enter the bench from the north, heading down Riverside Dr. The park boundary is on the left, storefront, residential areas and tourist services are on the right... A classic American Diner from the era, often built in the shell of an old trolley or railroad car...as is this one. The car was a beautiful Workshop find that I savagely tore the back side off of and added a kitchen along with a counter and tweaked the interior detailing... A night view shows off the interior a little better... Next door is a Modern Motel...modern for 1940 anyways... The part on the left was the original motel blueprint from the Workshop, all of six or eight rooms I think. I created a look alike "L" shaped addition to match it. And thanks to Shyguy we even have those tiny numbers that work on the doors! Yay! Of course a modern gas station to go with the modern motel... Another Workshop find, I gave it a new sign and switched to taller gas pumps. The park area is served by the famous Pacific Electric Red Line street cars. Other than adding a TMTK version of the PE logo and switching to a different destination sign, I didn't need to change anything on this Workshop blueprint... The overhead wires are just a simplistic effort to make it look like such a thing exists to power these cars. Note the California Palms are only on one side of the street, I decided running the power lines made more sense of the left side. The green hills of Los Angeles in the background...must have been a wet year or three. The beautiful Hotel Carmen, a lovely touch of Art Deco grandeur... The hotel's pool area. (Sorry for the poor textures shown on the screen). The layout is about the same as the blueprint, I just made a new pool, switched all the sun loungers and added some decor... In the background you can see some of the four-square homes that line a residential street.. Next up is a gorgeous Workshop blueprint of the Carthay Circle Theater. This was actually of the smaller version in the California Adventure Park, but is just so beautifully done I just had to use it. I just added the plaza out front and created the circular FOX Carthay Circle sign as a TMTK item to top the dome I added... One of my favorite structures from this entire project. Disney's first major full-length animated feature was of course Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which premiered at the Carthay Circle...so that's what is playing here... While I didn't make a lot of TMTK items for this project, this was one spot that I felt needed them. Some night-time screens... As you can perhaps tell in this last screen, the Carthay Circle wasn't the only show in town...there was a small theater district located here... As you can see while there's details, there's not as many details as I usually like...one of the limitations of this game and certainly of my computer... We'll pause here and allow everyone's scroll finger catch a respite...

Oh this is great, and something that was needed. Many a time I've looked for something sized smaller and there just wasn't anything. These will come in very handy!

Nice job...and your landscape is wonderful! The rock and foliage placement on the terrain is very realistic, something not everyone can do...kudos!

Haven't a clue on this one as I never read the original story, But I'll go along with D: They only exist in Peter’s imagination

Love those bridges!

Some nice additions, some things I'm not sure why are being added when there seems other stuff to be fixed, but perhaps they were in the pipeline already. Regardless, updates are always welcome!

I'll agree with JB so he doesn't feel all alone on his guesses... B: No one

Welcome Kei Muhammed!

Ah, thanks shyguy! Yeah 1400 objects...a few of them actually worth using for some people! LOL! Admittedly most of that stuff was park/theme specific, and only because there wasn't anything else out there that we could use, so I just went ahead and made it. Thankfully most of it was fairly simple things like signage, the rare more complex items I struggled with adding proper LOD's, and some textures were overly large. Simple things I can make totally in Blender (I use 2.78 because that's what MsRedNebula's tutorial used...), and more complex stuff I actually made in SketchUp, which I've first learned CSO on back in RCT3, transfer the fil to Blender and then continue on. I'll never win any rewards for my TMTK items, but I made them to suit our purposes and if anyone else finds a use for any of them then that's just a nice extra. m And I enjoyed cranking them out. I'm like the OSUDenny of TMTK objects...just without any bimbo posters. 😄 Can't wait to see what you come up with, your CSO set the standard in RCT3!

Purely a guess...A: Chicago

I presume Lake Wanda will be dried up, caked with mud and smell like dead fish like it's name-sake?
