World of Discovery
World Of Discovery, the park with an identity crisis. Yes, that is how this post will open up 😅. Lately, the park has been improving the area outside the entrance. New restrooms were constructed to help guest needs. A new path to the Discover Hotel is being constructed. Plans for the monorail to return are rumored. This will be dependent on the inside of the park and how existing and upcoming structures will affect the monorail track layout. Walking in, the view never gets old. This park mixes old and new Epcot in one park. Discover Park is still under development, but the main gift shop is open on the left side. A quick service restaurant is currently under construction in the buildings on the opposite side. Expected completion is this spring. Inside the gift shop is a variety of merchandise. Some include some t-shirts from a certain community that morphed into ParkCrafters in 2023. Throughout the day, guests can enjoy a variety of fountain shows in Discover Park. The fountain adds energy that has been missed in the real-life Epcot. This area had Epic Universe's Celestial Park as an inspiration, but this evolved into an area with its own identity. As the day turns to night, discover World Of Discovery's nighttime show Discover. Guests can enjoy the show all around World Exposition, but the best view is across the way to see the park's icon in a whole new light.

Impressions of PC2, now that I've started playing it...
You both are great at PC/PC2/PZ (lots of letters). Yeah, that is a huge jump, and my projects are ongoing over in the RCT3 realm.

Playing PC2 (or any recent Frontier theme park/zoo game) has been a learning curve. PC2 for me I am a huge fan of the water parks and am finding those are more forgiving. I am so used to the RCT3 building mechanics that the transfer to PC2 is a lot.

Disneyland Park at Disneyland Resort Dubai: 9 Years and Big Plans!
Happy Saturday! The park-wide refreshment project is going into overdrive into 2026. Recent updates to the park include new path covers at the main entrance and the long-continued Main Street enhancements which will be further discussed in this update. The main entrance received new path covers to match those found in the path that leads from the guest spawn point. Most of the path covers have been replaced except a small section to the left after the magic band touch points. Once past Main Street Station, guests reach Town Square. The Town Square hub is complete after many iterations of planter geometries. From above it looks like a face, but that is only from birds eye views 😉. The new Town Square hub is a MAJOR improvement when compared to the versions that existed before. When the park first opened, Town Square was not a thing. The park felt pretty cramped and the Main Street was not a full Main Street, featuring a fraction of the buildings present in this version of the project. To go with the Town Square hub, the Town Square Theater is now showing Mickey And The Magician, direct from Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris (soon to be Disney's Adventure World). Curtain Call Collectibles opened with the show and is located at the exit of Mickey And The Magician. Currently being finished is Tony's Town Square Restaurant. Tony's Town Square Restaurant in terms of the game needs food and beverage stalls and minor interior details that will be at the same level as those found at Mickey And The Magician. All exterior work on the building is complete, the interior details are minor and are limited to floors, railings, curtains, and white walls (the magic of RCT3). Town Square Theater in this version of the project is also the most detailed version I have done to date. This is probably one of the best exterior piece-by-piece builds I have done in the time I have played RCT3. Near the Town Square Theater is the Main Street Water Dept. These restrooms fill what would have been a brick wall and planters to hide an empty space. This also helps protect the Main Street sightlines from the larger Tomorrowland buildings that dominate the skyline such as Space Mountain and Mission Space. Walking down Main Street guests will see the enhancements continue. Center Street is the current focus as the progress goes down the street. Cinderella Castle went to a version of the previous color scheme recently. The gold accents on the wall tops were omitted. The pink and gray colors were reapplied along with some gold accents on the main towers. The castle has been an interesting design choice in this project. When the park first began, the intentions were to use Sleeping Beauty Castle from Disneyland Resort Paris. That decision quickly evolved to Cinderella Castle with the classic color scheme which has changed throughout the years to include lighter spires, the pink walls, and multiple color schemes. This color scheme reversal comes at a time when many design decisions are being made. The Main Street enhancement project continues. Town Square only has City Hall and the Firehouse left to be made once the Town Square Theater (mostly Tony's Town Square Restaurant) is complete. The completion of Town Square will allow for the end of Main Street to continue redevelopment to lead into the hub. The central hub has always been tough to get the sizing just right, so that will take a bit of time to prevent the hub from being too large or too cramped. The Main Street overhaul project completion will then allow Imagineering to decide which land to move on to. Adventureland and Tomorrowland are being looked at first before moving on to Fantasyland which will be the largest area in the park. Ideas are coming and going but this project will keep moving forward much like the real-world parks.

Remembering old RCT3 fads from the "golden years"
Story-based projects are difficult. Those examples were incredible and will always be remembered. It seemed as if the creators were 5 steps ahead in what they had planned for the stories, which is a challenging task to do while creating a park project.

Disneyland Park & Disney's California Adventure!
Okay, this definitely screams classic RCT3 with some of the objects (I'm looking at you log benches). This Adventureland is giving off a beachy vibe with the walls you are using rather than Jungle. I will suggest against using the in-game jungle/jurassic walls since those are a bit lower quality than what you are going for. The fountain is a bit out of place unless that is leading into New Orleans Square, then disregard that comment. A very interesting take for sure.
