Cardboard Canyon is just so well-executed. Your ideas are original yet realistic, and I love how you made such good use of the Toy DLC.

And that's a WRAP for WHISPERWOODS! The "Whisper Line" allows visitors to view the forest and its fairytales from above. A calm, elegant ride for both young and old. This was the very first fairytale I wrote and created: The Precious Princess. The second tale is called "The Sirens of Gibraltar", I enjoyed working on this one the most: Then followed the "A Crown for Two" fairytale. This was quite the technical challenge! This fairytale is a silent one, and it's just a lovely spot for people to rest their bones and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Still missing: A pen writing the book, moving from left to right. I need to find a way to make that happen! This tale is, if I may say so myself, a clever one: It's the story of a little bird that had enough of chirping every hour, so it escaped the cuckoo clock, and now you can hear its call throughout the forest. I imagine this would be great fun for children, trying to spot the elusive little bird! "The Abbey of Valdorne", named after the fictional valley my park is situated in, is the only semi-scary story, and it would only play in the evenings, after the little ones have left the park already. You'll see when I finally get around to recording the video! Back at Moonsquare, we spot once again the Whisper Line, soaring between the trees and forming a visual link between the village plaza and the fairytale forest. Thanks for reading!

Oh that's simple: Two rotating platforms triggered at different times. One has the boat with the pirate, the other one without. The rest is just smoke, mirrors, and a good story ;-) Thank you! And I agree, it would be nice to use this cute ride as a transport ride. Keeping you on your toes has become a bit of a life mission for me, dearest JP... Time for the third fairytale, followed by a follow-up to celebrate the finalisation of Whisperwoods!

Lovely work! Very atmospheric

Thank you, @JPTV I quite agree. Love to be "back" in the forum-o-sphere, so much better a place to share our creations! Fairytale #2 — The Sirens of Gibraltar This little spiel sits in a quiet corner of the Whisperwoods fairytale forest. The tale can be seen from inside the orange monorail, the Fairy Duster. It's slow going, but the Whisperwoods is getting there. 4 out of 7 fairytales done, 3 more to go! Now enjoy the second installation: The Sirens of Gibraltar

I really adore the displays with the pictures of various themes and (planned) lands. The teaser video is so clever! I do wish we could combine Zoo and Coaster into one game.. Looking forward to more, this project will never cease to fascinate me. And I've been saying that for two decades!

The colour palette throughout all your creations is just so lovely. Soothing, magical.. And your architecture is very, very unique. I am quite in awe, you really found your own style.

What I wouldn't pay to explore this park in real life...

Oh steal my heart.. so cute!

Man, this is such an epic park. Love both lands, you did such a stellar job on Toy Story. Can't wait to see more of the Star Wars land. Very nice job so far.

That is one extremely goodlooking garage! Great work again!!
-
Great spot for the station!

I won't post full episodes in this thread, you can head over to my YouTube channel for that. But! The little fairytales found in the park's "Whisperwoods" are something you can only appreciate in moving pictures. So here we go, fairytale #1: THE PRECIOUS PRINCESS

Thank you, dear friend. And for you to be the first to respond, it feels like coming full circle from my ShyGuysWorld days :-) Thank you!! I am taking my time, but I am having fun... And PlanetCoaster 2 has made thing so much more verstaile! Thank you very much! That is exactly the vibe I am going for :-) Yeahhhh once the trees came in, it all suddenly felt alive!! The forced perspective is definitely "out there" and extremely exaggerated, but it somehow seems to work. Really nice to "see" you again after all these years! Yes! I use ReShade, it does a lot of heavy lifting. And, as always, the time of day plays a big role here, too :-) Thank you for your very kind words, and I think I like that rickety building a lot, too! It's modelled after a similar house I spotted somewhere in the Alsace region a long time ago. Many thanks Miss B, this project will (slowly!) be going places! Thank you! I wanted to go for a less than typical "entrance plaza" or "main street", so I figured a village square would sort of do the trick? It keeps things whimsical... Thank you, that means something, coming from you :-) You are kind! Thank you, I am glad you like it :-) ReShade is making things look good, and I hope the park will meet your expectations..!

God, once again so very good.. I am afraid I will keep saying this with every update. It's just so .. Immersive. Realistic. Perfect amount of detail without going overboard. Just, wow.
-
Love the gazette! And the suspended monorail is just amazing. A solid start into an interesting new project :)
-
I remember you working on this tree. I am still so very impressed with it.
-
Nice to see you here, Nitro! Lovely entrance, so radiant :)

Here's how the buildings all sit together, cosied up around Moonstone Court The following pictures are of the period where I started adding planters and trees to the plaza and the structures. With (the beginning of) Whisperwoods now in place, things are starting to feel truly themeparky!

Here are the buildings I built for the village square, some based on real-life buildings, some figments of my wicked imagination. As you can see, I heavily lean on forced perspective to an extreme for this park :-) The Beans & Baubles building is by far the biggest of the lot, and I thought of redoing it once I had finished the other four buildings, but let's stick with it for now: The second building is arguably the tiniest McDonald's you've ever seen.. Done in a charming Swiss-Italianate style. No idea where I got this from, it's a structure that went through MANY iterations. I think the style is positively Hanseatic, something that wouldn't look entirely out of place in Hamburg..? The December 2025 update allowed me to rotate/tilt buildings, so that I could make this charming Alsace-inspired building. It leans over, it's rickety... It's a building that has seen a lot! Last but not least this lovely rip-off of Freiburg's most famous building: the Historisches Kaufhaus.

Welcome to TWINKLE HOLLOW! This project started out as a story park, but due to real life and time constraints getting in the way, this is now a "Let me update whenever I have something ready" type of project ;-) Still, this first post will follow a bit of the initial storyline. The second post features the making of Moonstone Court, the park's central plaza. The third and consecutive posts will introduce the Whisperwoods, the park's fairytale forest. Thanks for stopping by, and don't forget your magic wand✨ INTRO Twinkle Hollow is situated in the enchanting Valdorne, a gorgeous place where life moves at a slower pace. Where one may forget about the burdens of the world. A place where a shimmer of magic is still very much alive. A single plot of land was purchased by the Landmark Group. After all, Valdorne was their home. It was here, at their family homestead, where Landmark Senior discovered a root vegetable that would provide his sons, and their sons and their sons and their sons and their future sons, with unthinkable wealth. Valdorne's soil was truly magical. A fence was erected, a billboard put up... Here, on the banks of the Cerulean River, the Landmark Group was to add a new pearl to their burgeoning entertainment industry: Twinkle Hollow. They chose a quirky owl obsessed with the moon and the stars for its mascot. A whimsical entrance was built in no time, together with two charming little ticket booths. "Now all that's needed is some sort of village square," Mr Landmark nodded, "a place for people to come home to."
