Wanda in the backstage enclosure for the flamingos. The flamingos seem to have taken a fancy to her. They likely think she is one of them, with her pink outfit and long, curved beak. -

The Worlds of Wonder Resort Preview Center is opening at Wonder Beach Boardwalk. This exhibit will feature previews of all the current projects being built around the resort. It will feature photos and artist renderings and will be continually updated as new projects are started. Wonder Beach park itself will not be opened yet, and the Preview Center will be free to the public. This big, somewhat tacky, sign is just temporary, and will come down once the Boardwalk officially opens. For now, the Preview Center as all that is accessible. The employees wait patiently for guests to arrive. Too bad the Preview Center isn't actually opening today. They may have quite a wait. The layout of the resort is the centerpiece of the exhibit. Lafitte Landing and the Worlds of Wonder Resort Hotel are the 2 hotels planned to open in phase one. Water World and a rendering of the MIdway Games here at Beach Boardwalk. A rendering of Fate's House of Madness. Wonder World features an exciting rendering of the restrooms, as well as a vintage photo of the original Space Port ride. Animal World will feature the tallest structure in the resort.

It was made of several pieces and when put together was somewhere around 4-5 ft square.

A brand new addition to the Lafitte Landing Castle is The Crow's Nest, a pirate-themed lounge in the main lobby. There was loads of wasted space in the main lobby, so this seemed a perfect place for The Crow's Nest bar & lounge. There are plenty of spots within the lobby to sit and relax with a drink from The Crow's Nest. A great photo spot awaits visitors featuring this full size pirate lass, and an animatronic parrot. Friendly bartenders await guests, ready to quench their thirst with plenty of alcoholic libations. Now how do we keep Wanda away from this place? The lobby's atrium offers a view to (or from) the second floor. Is that Capt. Lafitte peering down from the balcony?

Resort Hotel DLC: A set to build a working hotel with staff, etc. I doubt this will happen. Expanded Water Park set: Building water parks was a big addition to the game, and yet there is so much missing. The new Planet Coaster Logo even added a wave to the planet. Seems reasonable that there should be more content devoted to this. All the old DLC sets, but expanded with new content. Kiddy ride set. Midway set with games and arcades. Water vehicles like rowboats, paddle boats, canoes, etc. Live shows like bandstands, animal shows, circus acts, theaters and stadium seating. Modern, high tech attractions, seen at the Disney and Universal parks. System for making advanced Fireworks shows (for Wolfpaw) Fountain shows, Drone Shows. All the Wonder World attractions.😁

I'm not sure I could handle that hike. I did one at Zion that had a sheer drop along the edge of the trail and I got panicky and had to turn back. 😧 Yes, I'm a wuss.
But I'm building it in Planet Coaster 2! You could build it if you like, but be prepared for a massive lawsuit from Mr. Wonder. 😖
This sounds like a fun project. I'll be watching.
I've heard it from Mr. Wonder that since she was released from rehab, she has vowed to only drink one bottle of wine per hour. Although, he didn't mention how she's limiting her intake of beer, vodka, rum, brandy, cocktails, etc.
Very impressive so far. One thing that I appreciated is the size of the guest services. Most people who put this facility in their parks, usually plop down one or two service windows in a tiny little building, and call it a day. In my latest visits to theme parks, I've made it a point to take note of what these, and other similar services, look like. And guest services is usually quite extensive, featuring many service windows, and even queues for the guests. (Like you've done.) Knott's sometimes has a huge line out the door, a block long. And Legoland had no less than 12 service windows. So kudos to you for your attention to detail. (Yes, I'm quite a theme park nerd, to focus on your guest services. The coaster and other stuff looks good, too. 😋)
Work progresses rapidly at Lafitte's Castle. The first floor is nearly complete, with the addition of 7 deluxe guests rooms. An old photo of what the old interior looked like. The floors needed to be carpeted to help soundproof the corridors for the sake of the guests staying there. This led to the decision to modernize the look of the interior of the castle, at least where the guest rooms are located. There are 3 rooms in the east wing of the castle and 4 in the west wing. Each contains a utility room featuring vending machines, ice machine, and washer and dryer. The master bedroom contains two queen size beds. The kid's room contains two single beds. The spacious living area features a sofa and small dinette. The bathroom.
Wow. This brings back memories of my trip, many years ago. I did Zion, Bryce Canyon, the Grand Canyon, and Sonoma. One of my very best vacations.
