Disney's America Park - Bench Four...I mean THREE by Citytrader and Wagi
It sells baguette sandwiches. The circus can be entered two ways. From the Promenade by taking the path near Bostocks, or along the main path leading from Enterprise and New Orleans. We saw the Bostock entrance, here's the entrance from Enterprise; The train has pulled in and is unloading; One of the first tents up is the Commisary;

JB, the Dewdrop is a slide he made with the haunted pretzel track. Non functional, but looks fantastic! Wolfpaw, thans for the kind words! Moving off to the north of Bostocks, we come upon the path leading to the circus! On the other side, the narrow path connects to the coaster walkway that meanders it's way down to Victory Field past some typical Victorian era shops and attractions; There's a small mirror maze attraction themed to Alice in Wonderland along the row of shops;

The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
Regentbird, if you have access to the show "Cities of the Dead" from PBS, they did an entire episode about Dr. Dalley's claim. Really a very interesting documentary! Here's a quick overview of the entire park; A few people have asked, hey! The wonders are nice. but what about the rides?!? Here's Hades; And how about Pegasus;

JB, Bostocks has a spin and puke inside, honestly can't remember which one! Here's a few more shots of Dreamland Midway; The Foolish House. The eyes open, close and look around! Very creepy looking! Another view of the Foolish House and the Dewdrop, courtesy of JPAlmighty! The Dewdrop and an Arcade. I believe it's one of Frontier's buildings I reworked. And finally, the Whip! Since you all liked the old postcard bit, here's one of the Whip as well;

Guess I never introduced myself either!
Not a very intresting story to tell. I worked in I.T. as an engineer certified by the company Bill Gates used to run, retired in my late forties, then as a hobby went into special education, (wife said she would kill me if I didn't find something to occupy my days!), earned another Masters, and have been shaping and molding middle school minds for nearly twenty years (So that's what's wrong with the country today!!!) I think Wagi and I met at the old website 1890 and Beyond, and have worked on several projects together off and on for about 25 years. My son was seven when I first started playing RCT1, now he's 32 and getting married. Where has the time gone?!?

So I guess it's my turn to continue the tour; We boxed ourselves in a little bit when we decided to place Victory Field behind the American Eagle coaster, and wound up having to put that long winding path along the side of the coaster to gain access, but it gives great views of the coaster and the railroad, and what the heck! Here's the front side of the coaster; Next door is the Hurly Burly, a Vaudeville Theatre that stages all kinds of events and concerts; The entrance arch to Dreamland is off the workshop, but heavily reworked by me; The 1890 Ballroom is next up where you can hear live bands perform Dixieland Jazz, the Standards, and big band music; A small pier jutting into Lake America houses an arcade, a couple small kiddie rides, and a recreation of the famous Parachute Drop from Coney Island; A couple shots of the Promenade at night; More to come!

The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
This park has been on my hard drivve for quite some time, but still never released. What a shock! I've been told glaciers move faster! I thought I would repost this from a while ago, and god willing, I might actually be able to work on finishing this in the next couple of months! In all my spare time ( ;D ), I've been working on recreating one of my other favorite RCT3 parks, the seven wonders of the ancient world! Here's a few preview shots; The Ishtar Gate of Babylon with the Pharos of Alexandria in the background; The Temple of Artemis; The Mausuleum of Hallicarnassus; The Temple of Zeus on Mt. Olympus; The Hanging Gardens of Neneveh; Professor Stephanie Dalley has postulated that the Hanging Gardens were never in Babylon at all, but in another city, Nineveh. She has unearthed loads of evidence to support her claim and has been featured on numerous television programs. Dalley found texts by the king of Assyria named Sennacherib about a palace he built and a garden alongside that he called a wonder for all people. He inscribed his name on numerous aquaducts and canals that were able to cary huge volumes of water to his city. There is even a bas-relief showing the king in his "hanging garden", so my park supports her claims! An Assyrian Temple; Here's a daytime shot of the Hanging Gardens; The Temple of Zeus; The Temple of Artemis; The Collosus of Rhodes; OK, the feet of the Collosus of Rhodes! The Great Pyramids; And the Mausuleum; Hope you all like this, and I'll post some more pictures and maybe even the park itself sometime in the coming millennium!
