February 7Feb 7 Hi everyone!I’m excited to finally start documenting the journey of my project: Celeste World.The park's design is heavily inspired by the layout of Disney Adventure World, featuring a central hub that connects all the different realms. For the theme and atmosphere, I’ve taken inspiration from Universal’s Epic Universe, focusing on a celestial and grand aesthetic.I have attached a map of the different lands so you can see the overall flow. Every world is connected to the central 'Celeste' land, which serves as the heart of the park.Currently completed or under construction:Central Hub: Celeste (The gateway to all other worlds).The Classics: Recreations of Frozen, new Toy Story land and Frontierland.Immersive Lands: A massive Star Wars land and Space campus.The Dark Side: Harry Potter and an atmospheric Dark Universe section.Beyond the main gates, I am also developing a full Resort experience.This includes a CityWalk entertainment district that will host a annual event: 'Horror Nights Unleashed'. My goal is to feature both outdoor buildings and highly detailed indoor haunts (assuming the framerate stays stable as the park grows!).Additionally, the project will be complemented by a second park a full-scale Water Park to complete the destination. It’s a massive undertaking, but I want the scale of Celest World to feel like a true international vacation spot.I'll be posting regular updates and screenshots here to track the progress!Would love to hear your thoughts on the project!

February 7Feb 7 Ambitious! I like the mash-up of Disney and Universal; the best of both worlds! Really nice screenshots too! In most images, the camera is at peeps' eye-level, which makes it seem like we're in the park looking around. Good start! 👍

Good start! 👍Thank you for the encouragement! :) At started the creation of Celeste World when Planet coaster 2 came out, I'm only working on this project since! I'm really invested on it ahah ! The Park already got a lot of updates but is the first time I shared this project.
February 7Feb 7 Now that is impressive! I think one thing I appreciate is that while these are things from Disney and Universal, they aren't just exact copies, but include a large degree of originality while retaining a large degree of familiarity, if that makes sense? That's a hard thing to balance, and I think you've done exceedingly well with it. For instance, the entrance certainly reflects Universal Epic's, but it's not a carbon copy, it still very original in it's own right. I like having the Horror attractions in a free-standing building by itself - ala Las Vegas.The blending of the two - Disney and Universal - comes across very naturally. You seem to have taken some of the best parts from each that work well together. Can't wait to see more!The screenshots are really well done, as are your structures. The only minor thing that caught my eye was that I thought Hogsmeade could do with a few of the chimneys and/or towers on the stores rooftops maybe could be a little crooked, I think that might add just a touch more of a fantasy feeling, but well done as-is, and just my own opinion! Otherwise this truly is an outstanding project.
February 7Feb 7 What he said! 😄Seriously, very impressive start. I just wonder if the the Horror Unleashed attraction might look better as a Gothic castle with some dead trees, etc. out front? I'm not familiar with the Mission Breakout attraction. What is that? A take on mission impossible?Love the entrance to the playland! Very nice use of the new DLC! Edited February 7Feb 7 by citytrader
February 7Feb 7 Author Thank you all so much for the encouraging messages about Celeste World, I really appreciate the support and the motivation it gives me. I would honestly love to share more detailed content and videos, but I’m still trying to figure out the best way to record high-quality footage. I have an HD screen, but capturing good videos is more complicated than I expected.In the meantime, I’ll start sharing aerial views of the park and each themed area.The first area is the Celestial Zone, the central hub of the park, featuring two roller coasters: a B&M hyper coaster and a new coaster currently under construction, a Mack extreme spinning coaster.Then we have Frontier Land, with Bayou Adventure, which I recreated entirely, plus a new RMC Coaster mine train coaster inspired by Big Thunder Mountain, but original version.Next is the Dark Universe zone, inspired by Epic Universe, with Frankenstein The Haunted House and the windmill attraction, which is not a restaurant here, but a werewolf ride with both indoor and outdoor sections. The track also passes through the Harry Potter area.Behind it, I added the newer Harry Potter zone using the latest DLC, with a full Hogwarts indoor intamin coaster attraction.There is also the Frozen area, inspired by the Frozen land at Disneyland Paris. It was actually my very first zone, and I recently updated it slightly with the newer DLC packs.Space Campus is the second zone I created, inspired by Avengers Campus. It includes an indoor vekoma coaster X1 (inspired by Rock’n’Roller Coaster and Space Mountain) and Mission Breakout, a drop attraction inspired by Guardians of the Galaxy mixed with Universal shot tower. This area connects to Space Galaxy, a Star Wars-inspired land currently under construction.New toy story land under construction!!I’ll also share aerial views of the CityWalk area. That’s where Horror Night is located, in my version it’s a year-round separate ticket park, inspired by the Las Vegas format, which is why I integrated CityWalk in a similar way.More to come soon and thanks again for all the support!
February 7Feb 7 Very well done, and being late to the party...like everyone else said....the mash up is a new great idea. Nice recreations and fitting it all together.
February 8Feb 8 Wow such a massive project, the details are so nice and I like the locations of the different lands. From above the park looks realistic and vivid.
February 8Feb 8 wow, glad I finally found this thread. you could remove all of the IP's here and still have something, the architecture and layout speak for themselves. great builds, great details. I'm also quite intrigued by Big Thunder as an RMC, I've been trying to come up with a unique take on that ride and everything I do to it makes it more like what's already in the park 😒
February 9Feb 9 I like it! A mixture of IPs which is interesting. For some of these IPs, I am curious how sight lines are going to work with some of the main focal points being next to more "squished" areas that are supposed to isolate guests from the outside world.
February 14Feb 14 Author Thank you all so much for the kind comments and encouragement ! I really appreciate it! 🙏It honestly helps a lot with motivation on a long-term project like this. Just hope my FPS going to survive the project ahah ! This week I didn’t have much time to push the park forward as much as I wanted, but I still worked on a few refinements. I went back and improved the Harry Potter castle, especially reworked the entire rock base to make it closer to the real version and more cohesive visually.I’m glad you’re enjoying the mix of lands, the layout, and the level of detail and I’m especially happy to hear that even without the IPs, the architecture and composition still stand on their own. That’s exactly what I’m aiming for.More updates coming soon once I get more build time, thanks again! ✨
February 14Feb 14 The changes to the rock work are subtle, but visually they do look a little more craggy. The lighting for the night screens is well done.
February 14Feb 14 Author This post is a full walkthrough of the castle queue from my Harry Potter attraction inside my park. The ride is inspired by the real attraction at Universal Studios, and my goal was to recreate the different rooms of the castle.I’ll be sharing photos of each room along the queue so you can follow the progression step by step through the castle interior.Part 1Hope you enjoy the walkthroug !EDIT: Hi everyone, quick question. I’m currently unable to post more photos directly on the forum because I’ve reached the upload limit.Does anyone have a good tip or recommended method for posting a larger series of images using an external image host or another workaround that displays properly?Thanks in advance for any help!

February 15Feb 15 I use Imgur. It's pretty good, but slightly confusing on how to post pics. But I can walk you through it if you choose to go that route. "Oh Blanche? Ya know we've got rats in the cellar." -- Jane Hudson (What Ever Happened to Baby Jane)
February 15Feb 15 I also use Imgur. Once you get the hang of it it works really well, and you can post a lot of images (if you see one of my park threads you'll know that I often get carried way in posting screens...)
February 15Feb 15 Author Part 2 of the inside of my Attractions forbidden journey! Thank you so much everyone to help me to figure it out a way to post more pictures! Really appreciate the community!
February 15Feb 15 I can tell from all the shots how much fun you are having :-) And that overview shot... wow! Love the floating candles, the Potteresque portraits.. Gift shop looking great..

February 17Feb 17 Author Hi everyone!I’m happy to share that I’ve officially finished the renovation of the main entrance of Celeste World 🎉The area has been completely reworked with a brand-new entrance building and a redesigned queue for the flying chairs attraction. The new entrance complex now includes a full restaurant, a souvenir shop, and a Starbucks-inspired café that takes strong visual cues from the Epic-style universe.Part of the building also extends outside the park gates, where guests can find an additional gift shop featuring a detailed miniature model of the park, along with the ticket & information counters. It creates a nice transition space before entering the park itself.For the exterior sections, I reused a workshop building that did a remarkable job capturing that Epic-style architecture. I then heavily reworked and adapted it so it perfectly matches the new entrance renovation and overall theme of the park.At the end of the post, I’ve also added an aerial view of the old main entrance promenade for comparison.Can’t wait to hear your thoughts!
February 17Feb 17 Very nice indeed. Very colorful and great detail work. Clever homage to the Melies film "Trip to the Moon" with the "ship" stuck in the eye of the moon. "Oh Blanche? Ya know we've got rats in the cellar." -- Jane Hudson (What Ever Happened to Baby Jane)
