Hi all, my name is Dexter! :DFirst time posting on the forums. I've been playing creative games since the late 90ties when my love for these games started with Roller Coaster Tycoon, Zoo Tycoon and The Sims. I've grown up with RCT3, remember the old Atari and Shyguy forums days with much joy. I've had my dreams crushed by Roller Coaster Tycoon World and my dreams came true with Planet Coaster & Planet Zoo. It took quite some time to get in the Planet Coaster 2 flow but the game has grown on me and provides me with a creative outlet. I use the game for buildings parks but also as a digital miniature building space for random ideas. ~Paradise Pier~I've always been fascinated by the 2012 large scale remodeling of Disney California Adventure. One of the highlights other then Buena Vista Street for me has always been the Paradise Pier area and the cosmetic makeover it has gotten. The turn of the century buildings and seaside vibes are something I adore. I love Pixar but the Pixar Pier redo is a big miss for me. The 2012 remodel wasn't perfect and did suffer some cuts between the concept blue sky stage and what got build in the end. I've tried to build in the Paradise Pier style in PC1 before but my skills have grown and PC2 is a much more powerful tool to realize my vision. It also has given me the drive and opportunity to build stuff from the concept stage that never made it into the parks or got cut during the Pixar Pier redo. My park started as a recreation of the midway games and has steadily been growing into it's own full park inspired by the Paradise Pier area instead of a one on one recreation. I wanted to share my progress from start to now and into the future. I've shared some of these build before on reddit but wanted to go the classic route and go the forum way with the park. I think it'll give me more space to share work in progress stuff and such. My reddit posts are mostly just the glamour shots and workshop codes. I hope you all enjoy! I always enjoy doing research for recreations, searching the internet for concept art and pictures. Lucky for me is that the DCA remodel has been documented quite well with a preview center in the park at the time (The Blue Sky Cellar). The place was packed with pictures, art, models and props. I'm very grateful for everyone that has taken pictures of this preview center allowing me to follow along with remodel and still keep me inspired so many years later :D ~Games of the Boardwalk 01~ The actual Games of the Boardwalk 2012 redo of Paradise Pier in Disney California Adventure This image is from my 2018 recreation in PC1. We didn't have arcades or stuff like that so I build and scaled it as a shell for facilities. This next build is from 2024 and is my first go at it in Planet Coaster 2. This was before the arcades happened so I made an implied midway game section with 2 games. To trick the people from walking up to the games I've added 2 souvenir counters in the building. I had fun building these and did some more facades but ran out of steam and ideas soon after. Then came the arcade update in may 2026 and my drive to rebuild it all over again to a more accurate theme park scale and fit in the arcade games. The strip of facades slowly formed and I started on more buildings! Coming up!In the next post I want to show the next 2 facades and how the park slowly has grown! I you don't mind spoilers you can look at my Frontier Workshop profile and see how far along I am with the park. So far I've done 4 facades with arcade games, 2 modular souvenir shops, 1 theater facade, 1 flat-ride and 1 ice cream parlor. I'm currently actively working on the coaster, a hotel/restaurant, Ferris wheel, carousel, parachute drop tower, entrance building, parade and general park layout. I still have more ideas for a dark-ride, bathhouse/swimming pool and more rides. My goal is finish the boardwalk area as a single park. The dream is to expand the park with more themed lands beyond the boardwalk area. I'll be sharing all the individual buildings and rides on there so you download and play around with them yourself :D Workshop profile Feel free to ask questions, share ideas, give advise about the build and share your opinion of Paradise Pier 2001, 2012 and Pixar Pier! English also isn't my first language excuse my wonky sentences. Have a great day! ~Dexter~
