Holy cow! I did not expect this at all! Thank you so much everyone, this means the world! 😊❤️

🩷 Heck yeah! Looking great so far! This is going to be such a cool project to watch grow!
-
YESSS!!! I'm so excited for this park! 🩷⭐

I know I'm way late to the party on this project, but WOW! I'm really digging everything in this thread! Such a cool mix of themes in this park! Loving this park a lot! ✨🩷

LOVING this project! The architecture is insane!!! I think you really accomplished what you said you wanted to do in the video, every corner feels really does feel like all those little scenes from the ride just blown up into a massively huge real life scale, and it feels like, "I-wanna-walk-around-this-area-and-look-behind-every-corner" lol. It's incredible what you've done so far! ❤️ Loving everything!

HOLY COW!!! I've only been to the park twice, but Buena Vista Street is maybe one of my favorite areas/mainstreets in a Disney park. I am BLOWN AWAY by this project so far, everything is absolutely stunning! You're attention to detail is SPOT ON. I am beyond excited to see how this project develops!

Here is my entry! (A WIP from my main park, but I really like this view!)

Aww, golly gee! Thanks everyone for your sweet comments on my project today! I can't wait to get cracking on more of this area soon! ❤️ Really means a lot!

Oh my gosh, we are on page TWO now. I need to type less in my updates, good lord. I didn't see this! I'm so sorry! Aww man! Yeah, that's the thing is I wish it could've been implemented better! I get that parades are big in parks, and they usually have wide paths to accommodate that, but... 16m is astronomical. I was hoping they would let us change the width of the parade paths (like who cares if the parade floats or entertainer points are "over the edge" frontier.. hon... listen to me when I say that having more options is better than a hella strict wide parade. like idc if they clip! let 'em! That's should be my call.) and I totally agree that the black border should get patched out, or at least be optional in a patch. But thanks dude, I'm trying my best with this park, it's so big and everchanging. Let's just hope they don't add some massive update that changes how like... water behaves or something dumb. Thank you so much! I mean, from the pictures nothing over there was - still isn't - finished. It's such a big park, and then rushing and taking time for 2 semesters of school, I crammed to get a lot in around the park and never got around to it. Which ultimately is a good thing, it didn't feel as bad when I had to take a bulldozer to most of it. But dang I miss that pier. But! Some good news! I was working on the area today actually, right before I filmed an update video! The trolley is kinda wonky, but the track is rather neat on the back and forth. It's the turn arounds that are... how to put this delicately... shite! But I will make sure that they are polished as much as they can be. The whole area I think is really pretty now. It might not be as covered and secluded as it was before, but I think it has it's own vibe that I can't wait to... grow. (hehe get it?) But I have some update pics from today! Me taking pictures of the same angle of the castle that is still unfinished:

Yeah, that's the part that really stinks. I think I'm lucky in that I was trying to emulate a Disney-style park to begin with so I had a Main Street already there + my original idea was to copy Epic Universe and do portals. That's why the "hub" is just a big ol' lake like the fountains. Like for example, the portal to Fantasyland was never meant to be a castle, it was meant to be Vikings and then... oops, a wild castle appears! I feel like parades could have been implemented better. I know they are based on a track ride, but why not let us choose the track width? We kinda can with the riverboats/river rapids track rides. I know that's not programming guests to stand on the side of the path, and that coding might be harder - is harder. I'm sure if they could've they would've. I at least would have liked the option to turn on or off that black band for track ride path crossings.

Obsessed with this project! I've seen you around on Reddit and let me just say that your project is looking incredible so far! Everything looks so thoughtfully placed and the colors are so nice and lovely! I've only been to DCA twice, but the pier has left such an impression on me. It's certainly one of my favorite areas Disney has made recently. I absolutely agree that the Pixar overlay missed the mark, it's cute, but I'm full of the opinion that IP doesn't need to be in everything. Non-IP areas are often times better and more iconic! I'm building a whole main street that is based on Buena Vista Street, it's such a wonderful entrance and so beautifully detailed. If you are looking for tips and help with videos, ShyGuy is right! I'd be happy to help as well! <3 Looking forward to updates! And I can't want to see how you use some of the new pieces that came in the parades pack! They would be perfect for this theme!

PARADES What a beautiful madness that made me rage quit my game the first day... I’m not kidding. There were whispers of parades, and so I expanded my park. I even created a new park to test out new ideas based around Epic Universe with parades and a Main Street central to the entire thing. Long story short, I got a parade route to fit into this park, I just had to be a little creative with it. This won’t be a very organized update, I might be jumping around a lot. Stick with me here though, I will try to go chronologically. Also... keep in mind that most of this was like… slapped together, and I haven’t moved most of the trees and street lights off the parade paths yet on Main Street, there are also some paths that need to be smoothed and fixed. It is all a bit WIP at the moment! I mainly just wanted to make sure I could get a parade in place. So, we can't have a parade on Main Street, with no Main Street! I built this before the pack came out. I had originally removed this building and wanted to replace it with something more substantial. Instead, I decided to just give it a third floor. I think Award Wieners is iconique. First things first… could a parade even fit in the space I had left? I kinda shoehorned a parade building into my backstage. It wasn't too terribly big, but surprisingly big enough for my parade! But if the parade wasn't going to fit here, there was one other area that I could sneak a parade building in. Next to the hotel entrance and the western shooting gallery ride. It would take up a lot of space int eh western area, but what else could I do? So I cleared some space and put a shell of a building over there just in case this one wasn’t going to work out… Because this park is going to have a parade, gosh-darn it! Now that I had that in place, I had to deforest and ruin the - well what I think is one of the best areas of my park. Carousel Gardens is a quiet little area that is kinda just here because I added that hotel and made the park lopsided. I had to fill in the space somehow. Carousel Gardens is just a happy little accident! You know how Rivers of America at Magic Kingdom WAS a nice quiet area in the middle of the park? A space to sit, and take it all in? That’s what I wanted this area to be. And when I put all those trees in, it really felt like you weren’t in a massive disney-style park, and in a smaller/older park. But I needed to clear it to create a parade path. I mainly wanted to move the Cactus Ridge Canyon “hexagon” down to ground level. That’s the only land where the entrance is elevated, and I wanted the parade to cross through all of them. On Main Street I had to cover a nasty transition, so I made a circular pavement - thing. I think I am going to replace the entrance hexagons with these circular pieces instead. Some old pictures of Carousel Gardens: But you can see the views! I will be adding more trees to this area - way more trees. But I’m trying to preserve these sightlines at least. I also built more of the hotel, added big balcony for fireworks viewing and a spot for guest services on the bottom. It's still floating. Using that anti-gravity technology... I still have a lot to fix however... Yeah... good lord... a lot to fix... But yeah, that's my update for today! Thanks for reading! I'll be making a YouTube update soon if anyone is interested in that! I've also been building a lot in Mythopolis, this update was meant to be that... but... PARADES! A Mythopolis update will happen very soon! Okay, bye for now!

Oh my goodness! Thank you! Also Wow! homepage spotlight! 😮🩷 That's a huge honor! Holy Guacamole! Thank you everyone! 😭 This is so kind of you so say! 😭 Your submarine makes the land! and that restaurant is the perfect cap to the place! I'm honored to call you my "planco bestie" because we truly have a great friendship that I really cherish, and IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF AQUALAND. "Alexa play like... some cheesy some about friendship." "Okay, I found this on the internet." Ahh... back when Aqualand was a bébé and the park was meant to be Epic Universe inspired not a castle park! 🤣 Honestly, I have the parade path in place, and... It's gonna take some expert level patience to get it all right and perfect... and I don't know if I have that in me in my 4 FPS park lol - ginormous is right! Ayy! Thanks Cody! I'm happy I got to expand Aqualand!
