Celeste World! A multi-themed park inspired by Disney & Universal (Harry potter, Dark Universe, frozen & more)
What he said! 😄 Seriously, very impressive start. I just wonder if the the Horror Unleashed attraction might look better as a Gothic castle with some dead trees, etc. out front? I'm not familiar with the Mission Breakout attraction. What is that? A take on mission impossible? Love the entrance to the playland! Very nice use of the new DLC!

I think it's about 75%, so it's halfway between C and D.

Impressions of PC2, now that I've started playing it...
Slow and steady wins the race! Wagi, Rather than hunting for videos, I downloaded a few of the featured parks or a couple of parks from known parties, and then started taking them apart piece by piece. I also downloaded some beautiful structures just to see how they are put together. Same with pathing. I have zero interest in pools or the electrical stuff, so haven't bothered with them at all. I get a little worried when I see a small Main Street type building composed of over 3000 pieces. How many is too many? Has anyone figured out the piece limit on entire parks? Any thoughts or guesses on the next DLC?

Love the video. You did a very impressive job with the lasers! Have to admit, I did not recognize most of the songs. My 1980's was consumed with Barney, Thomas the Tank Engine, I think one was called Lollipop Dragon, and of course the We Sing (Toy Trains, Grandpa's toys) series of videos! I still grimace when I hear that music! 😬 At least Thomas back then was real models, beautifully crafted. Another wonderful addition to Wonder World! Looking forward to circus world myself! Can you guys recommend a decent AI program for the beginner?

My dad made all of us listen to everything he could lay his hands on, Gregorian chants, pop, jazz, the standards, classical, rock, international, you name it. I like to think it developed in all of us an appreciation for all types of music. I did the same with my three kids, and they are open to all of it as well! (Dad moment; pat myself on the back!!!)

To the oldest member here ever...Happy Birthday!
Thank you all! I really appreciate it! Age is just a number, right? Now if only I could remember that number! It's been very stressful the last couple of years, a number of deaths in the family, visiting my mom in memory care, (and you thought I was old!), becoming a grandfather, which is great by the way, retirement, (my second one), and just hanging on for dear life! Haven't had a lot of time to play any games, but I do try to keep up with what is going on in the community. Wagi is correct about one thing. We have both been a part of the community dating all the way back to RCT1 and I've loved every bit of it! Thank you again for the birthday wishes!

Back in the day, police did not have radios in their cars, couldn't call ahead, so if a bootlegger hit the county or state line, the cops couldn't pursue any longer. This naturally led to these drivers testing each other to see who actually did have the fastest car. Eventually, a business organization was created to draw in the crowds (and of course the money!). So, B; Bootleggers boasting over how they can outrun cops racing each other is the correct answer.

I don't follow NASCAR, but I seem to remember some rule about total weight of the car plus driver must equal 3000 pounds, or somewhere around that, so I'll say the driver weight doesn't matter, just the total weight. A: Doesn’t matter Again, I'm probably mistaken, but I seem to remember Danica Patrick has to add weights to her car because she is very light (compared to the male drivers). Here's a good one for you guys. C'mon Wowman, you guess too!; How did stock car racing actually start? A: Local kids drag racing turned into state tournaments B; Bootleggers boasting over how they can outrun cops racing each other C; Business men thought people would pay to watch car races and started the sport

Crazy to see so many of you still around!
Love the artwork! Very creative! But what is older than geezer? Post-geezer maybe?

Alien probes is a great excuse! I usually stick to senility. Very senility! 🤣 Seriously, some truly stunning work here. Love all the interiors, especially the donut shop. That giant donut reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer steals the giant donut, and Lard Lad comes after it!

Hmm, no idea. I'm against D: the ancient tradition because as I recall from history classes (Not actually being there as Wagi will assert!), red dye (cinnabar) was expensive, so I don't think they would waste it on nuts. I like the company name, but sounds not quite like a real thing, I don't think a dye would protect you from oils, so I'm going to go with A: To hide the discolorations on the shells. I seem to remember something about the shells being damaged or get nasty during shipping, and since most pistachios are now grown here in the USA, perhaps they aren't handled as much? Total guess here.

That is just one spectacular theatre. Love the proscenium! Shame it can't be actually used! I can't imagine it would be that hard to program a big empty box with seats inside. But we've been asking for that for years to no avail. Ah, well, beautiful work anyway! I especially like your behind the scenes photo. It's interesting to get a look at the method behind the madness. I would love to see a few more of those types of pictures! BTW, are you using a NASA supercomputer? You must have over 100 thousand pieces in Wonder World, and you've barely started!

A: St. Louis The Olympics took place during the World's Fair of 1904. That Worlds Fair also introduced ice cream cones and iced tea, and popularized cotton candy (fairy floss), puffed rice cereal, and peanut butter. Some claim it also introduced the hot dog bun, as prior to that, hot dogs were served with a fork and eaten like a sausage. No cardboard dishes back then, and ice cream was served in glass bowls which were supposed to be returned and washed, but too many people kept the bowls and plates as souvenirs. A pizzelle maker was located near one of the ice cream vendors (his pizzelles weren't selling, and the ice cream vendor had no bowls!). He started making pizzelles and while they were still pliable, shaped them into a cone shape that the ice cream guy could scoop into. They split profits 50/50. The legend has it that both men became millionaires by the time the fair closed. I love that story!

Well, I'll be the voice of dissent then. I think the soft, puffy and tasty letters kind of overpower the sign. If you could make them a bit smaller, they would work better. The thin and crispy letters just look a little more professional, and don't overwhelm the space. Did you make the popcorn machine, or is it an asset in-game?
