Thanks bro! It's a process for sure.

Update 1! I have had to adjust to a new job so I have been taking it easy, but here is the first update that includes the carousel and observation tower! Thanks to Cody, I was able to place the tower with Mr. Twister’s Towers and had to find some work arounds with Shyguy’s packs for the carousel. What needs adding: Lanterns for the carousel posts, (which are chimneys from Shyguy’s Alpine packs). Different benches around the carousel. Fences blocking the tower entrance. (it has been closed permanently for years but remains a staple landmark in Denver.) Path Lamps and trash bins. Somehow find a way to get a cross shaped path in the middle of the pinkish circle next to the carousel. Not to see Elitch’s is not to see Denver!

Big project on your hands there! It’s going to be awesome!

Thanks man! It’s going to be a fun one. I just have to find the time to work on it. My work schedule shifts around a lot, plus I’m being promoted to a management position soon. I could work 5-8 hours depending on what’s happening, but I will be off this Friday!

This is a recreation that is going to be as accurate as possible. Since I took my day trip there and have pictures, including Google Earth, I should be able to make it easily. Thanks dude!

Love it! Can't wait to see the showcase. Glad I could help with the Sketchup issue for you. If you need any help with anything else, just let me know! Cheers Bookworm!

Thanks Bookworm! I’m thinking of recoloring the path or adding some concrete separation lines but inside the park is all tarmac so that’s not gonna be an issue. I don’t really like how light the path is because it doesn’t contrast the white on the entrance and ticket booth but I’ll figure it out lol. I might go in 2x2 blocks to section the concrete.

Thanks! I’ll be working on it as much as I can. Luckily I have tomorrow off work, lol.

Elitch Gardens Theme & Water Park - Recreation! Hello! Xec is back with a brand new project! I want to express my gratitude for your support and kind words about Beachside Bay, and for how much fun it was to share it with you all. Here is a new park project which is a recreation of Denver's famous Elitch Gardens! Elitch Gardens opened on May 1, 1890, in Denver's West Highland neighborhood, originally serving as a zoological garden and cultural venue founded by John and Mary Elitch. Following John's death in 1891, Mary Elitch became the first woman in the U.S. to own and manage a zoo, and she continued to expand the park's offerings, including the Elitch Theatre, which hosted renowned performers like Sarah Bernhardt and Douglas Fairbanks Sr. In 1994, due to space constraints, the park relocated downtown, reopening in 1995 with updated attractions while preserving its historic charm. Today, Elitch Gardens remains a cherished Denver landmark, though future redevelopment plans, such as the River Mile project, may eventually transform the site. I wanted to preserve the spirit and keep the park alive in RCT3, as it is part of my hometown and one of the best places to visit. If the park does get relocated and changed or closed permanently, then it will always be here for everyone to see! Here is the main entrance with its first phase of construction. I hope you all enjoy this new project, and I am honored to recreate one of my childhood parks! Cheers! Xecronius

Hey everyone! I’m working on the entrance CSO for Elitch Gardens. The signs are the only issue that I am dealing with and I can’t see them in game. When I try to place the signs as textures, the scaling is wrong and they have no background so they make part of the wall invisible when the images are placed. The signs are the “Not to See Elitch’s is Not to See Denver” on the triangular part of the building and the plain red, “Elitch Gardens” sign on the fancy cornice. Here is the full object. It is one solid piece for ease of just plopping it in the game. If anyone can help, please let me know! Thank you :) This has been the most difficult CSO to make so far, so I want it to turn out great, lol.

I like this, I even said, "Oh wow", out loud to myself. I like how the plaza has a modern vibe, you know, like those modern square-looking houses that are usually black, grey, and white. They tend to have pretty yellow lighting, with large windows as well. That's what I was reminded of looking at this and seeing that those are pretty rare, so it's a nice touch. I absolutely love botanical windows. They also remind me of the library from Between the Lions on PBS. and for some reason Naboo in Star Wars. Looks fantastic!

Here comes Dolan to say Henlo...

Here is a YouTuUploading Attachment...be short that I created for Elitch Gardens when I took a day trip up to Denver with my best buddy! I had a blast there, and honestly, it is a better park experience when you go with fun people! I took a ton of pictures too for my recreation! It was cool being able to stand directly underneath Boomerang (Yellow), and Sidewinder (Green), which has been closed for several years and is planning to reopen!

Gooby...
