Mickey Mouse Park...a new park re-imagined by Wagi
Okay, I tweaked the lights on the Coke Corner building to be the suggested red/white and added the missing lights... And here's a quick overhead screen to hopefully explain the layout of the Storyville section of the park... The curved streets worked out well, but they were in fact somewhat based om the original plans as shown below on the left side...my version is, as usual, exaggerated in size and I added a couple cross streets!

No I don't...but I just noticed they are missing on one side of the building, so that gives me an excuse to go back add some and tweak the others! Thanks for the comments gentlemen!

Mickey Mouse Park...a new park re-imagined by Wagi
Picking up where we left off...we'll turn right onto 2nd Street...actually East 2nd Street. There's several restaurants, a beauty parlor, an ice cream parlor... On the opposite side if the street there a Guest Services storefront, Bixby Bros. Clothiers... Kitty Hawk Bicycles, a newsstand... Across the street from them are public restrooms, a quiet lounge, first aid, then a music shop, food stall, haberdashery and finally Kansas Chocolates (another chain shop I suspect...)... Back across the street was a Chinese Laundry and a Millinery Shop. Here too is a short 3rd Street... Which leads back to Main Street in the distance. The Coca-Cola Refreshment Center on the right... Doctor's offices... And Elias House with it's famous Chili...Walt's favorite... And now some night-time screens... We'll pause here on the corner of E. 2nd and 3rd Streets...I think some hazelnut bonbons are calling my name!

I'm pretty sure 33 is too long, 5 is too short. Maybe 14 days, but something tells me that they aim for around 100 Km per day, so that would make it... C: 21

Best Planet Coaster Project Winner - ParkCrafters Awards 2025
Thanks to everyone who voted for us and even those who didn't! 😁 This was at least our second or third time attempting this theme on different game version...I'm not sure we'll try for yet another but this one has been fun. As soon as citytrader wakes from his nap I'm sure he'll thank you as well...if he actually remembers working on this project. His neighbors feel lucky if he remembers his pants in the morning.

Mickey Mouse Park...a new park re-imagined by Wagi
Well, I attempted to open the park to peeps so I could take some populated screenshots for you... Unfortunately they entered with a frame rate of 1-2 fps, so since I didn't want to spend the next week waiting for them to get past the first cross street I'm just going with the excuse that we showed up an hour before park opening and the joint is empty. That's my story and I'm sticking with it! This is a family site so there will be no discussion of the how's, why's or what's behind the creation of the con-joined twins...besides, there's a major upcoming article in a scientific peer-reviewed journal that will no doubt explain all...in medical terms. Thanks everyone!

Mickey Mouse Park...a new park re-imagined by Wagi
Obviously Mr Wonder consulted as to the admission prices! Yeah, that brings back some Atari memories...*shutter*... But it's not often that you have conjoined twins with one being Chinese and the other being of Irish blood. But the boys seem to get along even if they neither speak the other's language... Yes, the fire engine is by Bullethead, who did some great vehicles for Fisherman's Rose Lake project. The trolley is based on ramses.sam's "Tramway Parisien 1900/1920" that I converted into a horse-drawn trolley - he supplied great bones to work from so it was taking off a few things and adding on a few things. I did it originally for the New Orleans section of our DisneyAmerica Park

Mickey Mouse Park...a new park re-imagined by Wagi
So, finallllllly, we'll enter the actual Mickey Mouse Park now! (NOTE: As I mentioned before, my computer has struggled with this park, even with removing areas outside of the actual park and jacking up the graphics settings, in-game textures basically suck. I've cut back on some of the street details I like to use as well, so apologizes for some of the funky screenshots...they really aren1t just because I'm lazy.. least on most of them...) Staff is ready to take your money...at the hefty 1940 price of ONE DOLLAR! No theme park should charge such an outlandish ticket price! Highway robbery! Next they'll try charging a nickel for a hamburger! Looks like the crew is lollygagging around at the entrance instead of back in their areas prepping for guests! The Partners statues has a place of honor right inside the gates...the staff not so much. Somewhat under-stocked gift stands line either side of the main entrance...just in case you wallet still isn't empty... Passing under the Mickey Mouse Rail Line overhead, we enter Storyville, an all-American small town from the early 1900's... On the right is the main Storyville Fire Department station, on the left is the town's residential area... Up ahead on the left is the town's elegant City Hall... Which puts us on the corner of Main and 1st Streets. Bert's Cafe on the right along with a team pulling one of the town's modern fire engines... Peeking around the corner down W. 1st Street we see another rail bridge crossing overhead and factory warehouses in the distance... A drug store, book store and an antiques shop line the left side of the street... Gates lead to back of house areas on the left, while the gates on the right lead to park services in the factory-themed buildings... Restrooms are located at the end of the street on the right... A few night-time images... Some of the stores along here have faux interiors that sadly really only show up well at night... We'll head back to Main Street now...another view of the Storyville City Hall... Next we come to 2nd Street...Story Books Store on the left, City Books on the right...and just crossing in front of us is one of the cars of the Storyville Trolley Company... W. 2nd Street curves away in the distance, while E. 2nd Street links to the residential area...we'll explore it later... We'll pause here for now as our employee(s) Jim-Bob and Bao-Jung-Hai, the conjoined twins have questions about the cracks in the sidewalk that are still waiting for attention and the substandard graphics in the shop. Here at Mickey Mouse Park we pride ourselves on our inclusive hiring practices... Until next time... (Sincere thanks to all the wonderful and talented creators who shared their work in the Workshop that I unapologeticly used in this park, and a request for forgiveness from those who's work I tweaked, recolored or shamelessly tore apart and then rebuilt to suit my own selfish needs...)

What other hobbies to you have?
He has shirts older than that! Citytrader didn't mention that those printing presses he worked on said "Gutenberg" on the label...

What other hobbies to you have?
"Existing" is my favorite hobby...and I'm quite good at it...so far anyways! Unlike many others when I play video games I pretty much stick to one and devote a lot of time to it. Currently of course it's Planet Coaster 1. I do have other games, but seldom spend much - of any - time with them. In fact I own both Planet Zoo with all it's expansions, and PC2, but other than opening PZ and looking around in PC after each update for a total on maybe a couple hours. I put in a lot of hours playing PC, as well as a lot of hours spent creating TMTK for that game. I consider myself the OSUDenny of Planet Coaster, which I consider a compliment. Denny was prolific creator of CSO in RCT3, and like him I'd never consider my creations as being great, nor even good, but they suit MY purpose and if anyone else found a use for them then that was great. I'm not skilled at Blender or any other program, but thanks to people like Ms.RedNubula sharing their 'how-to videos on YouTube I was able to figure out simple things anyways! We live in one of the largest cities in the world, so there's plenty to do, if and when we choose to do it. I've gradually adsorbed the Portuguese language well enough to comprehend most of what I read and a good share of what I hear, and even partake in conversations occasionally other than just nodding my head in agreement and adding a 'nossa!' from time to time... We have a English Cocker Spaniel named Buddy or 'Bu' for short as they pronounce his name as 'Boo-day' here. Not as bad as the pronumciation for my name "Bob" which is "Bob-ee"...a name I haven't been called since I was five... Bu was a rescue from an abusive home, has severe non-operative cataracts in both eyes but has adjusted well to going about 90% blind now. He's my shadow. He's quite intelligent, and is in fact bi-lingual, since I use whatever language comes to mind when I talk to him. Our day includes heading out for walks 8-9 times a day which are sadly fairly short as my arthritis worsens, but we still get his snif-faris in, all while avoiding street people's use of the sidewalk for lavatory needs and the hordes who work here downtown during the day. We live on the 18th floor of a highrise condo in Centro, São Paulo, in the midst of close to 30 million folks in the Metro area so it can get a bit hectic at times. Bu is our third pup after losing both Molly, our English Springer and Duque, the Handsome Dude™©, another Englsh Cocker, to cancer a couple years ago, both were abandoned dogs, which sadly is a problem here. After the Pandemic we're back to our schedule of annual trips to Orlando and semi-annual ones to Los Angeles and then back up north to Washington State. Being retired at such a tender age has it's benefits. We actually have yoga sessions here in our condo every week with an instructor, which helps with the arthritis while awaiting knee replacement surgery in a month or so...

Trivia Bowl
Should ask citytrader if he recalls them having water polo back in 1900... But I think I read in a article about the history of the Games that it wasn't on the list for the first Modern Games in Greece, but was added for Paris, the second. So, unless citytrader recollects differently what he saw, I'm going with A: 1900 Paris

I admittedly was stumped by the TMH until shyguy solved the question and then it all became clear, and of courser you are remembered! Glad you found your way over here!

Water World
Not to overlook all the hard work that went into the site for years, but the originals of this park are one of the major reasons shyguy's world was such a success, and gathered such an amazing group of players - friends - to it. The parks, the CSO, and especially the hilarious backstories...fond, fond memories even after all these years and so nice to see some of the same here with the new games.

Riverport - Chapter 1
This very much reminded me a great deal of Heth's work in the steam-punk theme, which is a real compliment in my book. The differences I think are in scale - your's is of equal size and complexity but it's scale seems more personable, and the other difference in the level of energy felt...the kinetic energy is off the scale - not only on the rides but on the entire area. It's just at a perfect level to convey the amount of excitement this themeing is trying to portray. The screenshots are luxe...kudos for that and even more so for the video. Looking forward to seeing the rest of this park project, a sincere thanks for sharing it here with us!
- Keep it counting!
