Looks great. Still hoping we'll get actual working kids rides some day.Some beautiful work in this last update. The sci-fi gate looks awesome as well as the entrance plaza. Love that interior with the huge hexagonal windows too.International Street was one of the added lands to the model, which was never finished. It was nicknamed Medieval Village as I had only built sections devoted to Germany and Olde England. It was also built in the PC1 version, though I didn't even finish what I had built in the model. The land will be like a mini World Showcase, but just along one long street as opposed to around a huge lagoon. Thanks Wagi. I thought it was one of my better videos as well. I think I'm getting better at pacing, and balancing humor with a serious tour. The early videos didn't have much of interest to show, so I added a lot more humor, some over-the-top and cringy. Of course that doesn't mean there won't be any more silly, cringy humor. It's hard to avoid when Wanda's included.I should have realized that's what you were talking about. But honestly, with scaling I don't think there's even that much of a need for the TMTK. There were so many things you couldn't do in PC1 before they added the TMTK. But I feel nearly anything is possible in PC2, object wise.Very nice. I hate the way the jeeps slow down when ascending an incline and speed up when going down, like it's a gravity based ride. This is something I discovered when starting to create a similar ride and had to change the track layout because the jeeps couldn't make it up a hill. Anyway, nice job on this. I'll bet you're happy to finally have gotten this finished.If you're dependent on blueprints from the workshop, a Disney themed park will probably net the most items available to download. But I think you'd be much more satisfied with your park if you pushed yourself to create your own assets. Yes it's more work and more difficult to do. But it's a great way to learn and master the building process. And with scaling in PC2, it's so much easier to create things that you couldn't in PC1.When I started building Water World, the first thing I thought was "how am I going to do this without that Atlantis set in RCT3?" I'm was hoping for an Atlantis DLC from Frontier at first, but now I hope they don't do one as I would most likely want to re-do everything. I always am hesitant to use AI, mainly because I know that there are some who are vehemently against it. But I've found it so useful for so many things, and lately I've begun using it as a tool to help me envision things that I want to build but can't quite picture how to do it. Stuff that you can't just search the internet for. AI has literally helped me come up with a design for the next project for the WoW Resort which I was thinking of abandoning as I just didn't know how to even begin it. Some artists can come up with ideas right out of their heads, but I need a lot of visual aids. AI is really becoming invaluable for me in this project.I 've spent the last couple weeks working on the other parks so I'd have enough content to create the displays with lots of new stuff. Then, with the help of Photoshop and AI, created various artist renderings, architectural plans, and paintings out of all the screenshots I took. There are over 65 billboards used to create the displays, about 2 dozen more for the bulletin boards, various signage, and the overhead photos. And then there's the nearly 100 billboards making up the floor. So nearly 200 billboards used in all.In the original Wonder World model, this building housed the Sunrise Cafe. But with the expanded size of the Transportation Center, the restaurant was moved back, leaving this building empty. Well, we had to do something about that. The Worlds of Wonder Preview Center & Art Gallery has moved into the building. The original Preview Center at Wonder Beach Boardwalk has closed to make room for something different to occupy that space. Detailed artist renderings, architectural plans, and colorful paintings from all the parks and hotels planned for the resort are on display here. The resort layout is prominently displayed here, with descriptions of each park and hotel. A short video about the resort plays continuously throughout the day. I'll have more in depth photos of each exhibit coming next...I really like the Toy Story Mania ride. Did you use AI to create the Max Stormcloud(ish) video?I'm not ready to use mods yet, but this video is sure selling the idea. If Frontier doesn't add the rides I need to finish my parks, I will definitely be going the mod route. I love seeing the fly-through over your park at the beginning of the video. It's just so impressive looking. And the ride is your best work yet. In fact, I think this rapids ride is better than any real world park that I've ever seen. Congrats on a job well done.
