Work has begun on the refurbishment of the second floor of Lafitte's Castle. The new Fitness Center. Perkins decides to check it out. Watching pirate battles on the video screen while working out. Perkins gets extra cardiovascular exercise, swinging his broom while on the treadmill. Is he going to bench press that 200 lb weight, or his broom? I think I know the answer.

That's the name I gave it too. Well, "Wandinga", as it's a female. Like minds think alike, or is it mentally ill minds? I'm not quite sure.

Wanda and her new bundle of joy. Aah 🥰...It's She's got her mother's face, and father's... Scooter meets his new baby sister? Okay... This is getting just a little too bizarre, even for a Wonder park. How on earth could something like this actually happen?? (months earlier...)

Returning to Expo 3000, while not included in the PC1 version, is the Photo Shop, or more precisely, the WONDERful Memories Photo Shop. Originally the Camera Shop in the initial design of the Wonder World Model, camera shops have not been a thing in theme parks for some years now. But digital photo services have gotten big. At the WONDERful Memories Photo Shop, you can purchase the DigiPass, which lets you collect an unlimited amount of digital photos taken personally, by the park's photographers, and on-ride photos, for a single price. There are 3 tiers from which you can choose to purchase. The Single Park, One Day Pass... The Multi-Park, One Day Pass... And the Multi-Park Annual Pass. Various pics of the park will be displayed on the monitors, once more of the park has been built. Video of the animated DigiPass display. (Excuse the shaky camera. 1st person camera mode is a bit janky in PC2. I'm hoping they'll make it work more like the PZ version, which is much smoother.)

I love the realism of this project. Great job. Where exactly is FOF? I've never heard of this myself.

Hard to say on this one. On the one hand, they already have their Jurassic World Evolution series, with the 3rd installment adding lot's of Planet game features like advanced terraforming tools and a building system with tons of (scalable) objects to custom design your parks. So it seems they are trying to entice the Planet Zoo and even Planet Coaster fans to buy this. So it's doubtful they would add dinosaurs to Planet Coaster. That would defeat the purpose. On the other hand, they already have all the dinosaur models and could easily created audio animatronic versions of them and import them into Planet Coaster, and thus entice JWE fans to buy that game. Plus, there are a lot of PC2 players who have no intention of buying JWE3, and still are crying for dinosaurs in PC2. So who knows.

So we can post links to ParkCrafters without worry of deletion? 😈 The Frontier forums served no purpose as there was absolutely no communication between the fan base and developers. It made no difference to Frontier if they kept it open or not. But when things turned dark over there, they shut it down to stifle its critics and keep the negativity from spreading. Yes, they most likely want to get away from the old forums format, but as long as the other forums remain positive, there's no need to close them and piss off anyone else. I mean, the Planet Coaster 1 forums are all but dead, but still remain open. They also serve no purpose, but as the few posts they get over there are quite benign, no need to close it. The international forums look to be pretty dead, so again, no need to close them. On Discord, it 's very hard to have a serious conversation, especially a critical one, as the fanboys over there attack anyone with anything negative to say. And most criticisms scroll away and are lost, sometimes within minutes...just what Frontier wants.

Great park. I love the different themes of each land. And being a big fan of interiors, you nailed the interior of the Everest Inn. Looking forward to more pics.

Welcome, Ojonos.

As this was started while I was away, I've yet to view the whole thread from beginning to end, but working on it over the last few days. This is definitely a labor of love and I'm enjoying what I've seen so far. Odd that they would do LOTR, as the movies weren't produced by Universal. I know they can, or have, acquired a license to add stuff in the park based on the books, but can't use any images from the Jackson movies. I'm curious to see if they do this, and how, without using the iconic images from those films.

Isn't it odd that when think about retirement and all the time we'll finally have, it ends up being the opposite. There's just so much we haven't had time to do before, and now, we've got so many things we want to do, there's still not enough time.

It's a game feature. Sick animals are actually taken to the Surgery Center and are laid out on the examining/operating table. Pretty cool feature.

Great update. I especially liked the Mickey Mouse Club Circus with the trapeze artists performing out front. I'm not sure what Walt would have thought of the midway section. I don't think he cared for the cheap game and food booths, with the barkers beckoning guests to throw their money away on games of theft, er chance. But as Wonder might say, "Who cares, he's dead."

A new employee has been hired. This is Dr. Hannah Lecter, chief veterinary doctor, in charge of the welfare and care of all the animals at the park. First assignment...checking on the welfare of the flamingos. The flamingos are suffering from a myriad of health issues. From Dr. Lecter's initial report, the park's new Animal Surgery center will unfortunately be getting a lot of use. Scooter is being chewed out for his atrocious care of the flamingos. Things are going to change around here!

Thanks for all the nice comments. It always helps inspire me to continue working on such a daunting project like this.

Hey Danny420. Great to see you made it here!

Welcome. 😊

Yes I saw that. My post probably got deleted so quickly as it was an actual link. With the forum closed, lets hope they don't notice it and it stays there. Still there, 4 hours and counting...

Oh, I like the general look of the game. I'm actually fine with the cartoony look of the guests. Otherwise, I couldn't create characters like Scooter and Wanda. Just the few things I mentioned are what I wish were defferent. @wolfpaw I wanted to follow up your post with something like "As a ParkCrafter, which is what I like to refer to my self, I really appreciate your forums." Would that be subtle enough?😉 No, I'll just leave it alone and hope a few members can read between the lines and do search out and find these forums.

Standardization is a big problem...in all the Planet games. Also in naming of objects. Try finding a certain sized beam in Planet Zoo. Some are called "beams", some are called "posts", some are called "planks", some are called "cladding" and some have names I can't even remember. And has anyone noticed that there are duplicate objects in PC2? Many objects that were included in the base game were just renamed objects from the other themes. When they added the old themes, we got those objects again. I'm sure different devs work on the different DLCs, without bothering to check on, or create, any type of master list or naming convention.

I wish they'd move away from the comic style as well. There are so many objects and elements that I avoid using because of the cartoony brands and as well as the Planet Coaster 2 logo that seems to be added to way more items in this game than in the first. I don't want Chief Beef in any of my parks, thank you. I do agree that there are some very talented artists and animators over at Frontier. Too bad those that design the game mechanics and management elements aren't as talented. None of Frontier games have any depth to the management aspects. Even the Jurassic World Evolution franchise, which is a management sim much more than a sandbox game, has very basic and repetitive gameplay, with hardly any challenge. They may not be great game makes, but they really make some great and addictive toys. As far as any other realistic theme park sims out there, there's a small independent startup company developing a game called Megaparks. They are passionate about creating the ultimate theme park sim, with plans to include all the features fans are crying for that Frontier will never add to Planet Coaster. They are a group who have played the PC games extensively, and want to expand on everything those games do and add what they don't. Whatever becomes of this project, well, we'll just have to wait and see. Sadly, it failed to generate the funds it was asking for on Kickstarter, so it's not getting a great start, although they stated that the game will continue development, regardless. I'm not sure the game will ever see the light of day, or if it does, it could end up being another Theme Park Studio. We'll see.

That's an impressive looking coaster. Just noticed the viking boat with the PC2 logo on the sail. I wish Frontier wouldn't plaster the game's logo on everything. It kind of ruins the theme people may be trying to create.

This sounds like a challenge. I'm sure you'll pull it off brilliantly.

I was hardly a kid when I first played RCT3. I was already over 40. And my favorite thing to do, I guess, was killing the Park Inspector, Mr. Jobsworth. Err, maybe I was still a kid. 🤔 Well, I guess I enjoyed a few other things as well, like making CS, Wonder World, the outrageous soap opera that was Water World, and fighting with the mods at the Atari forums.
