Well, here we go I know the release of the new game is a ways off yet, but hey, I'm retiring in a few weeks and will time to add yet another project to my list.

Riverbanks Zoo is a real zoo found about an hour or so from where I live. Its located in Columbia SC. My plan is to try and replicate the zoo as close to reality as I can. Especially because this zoo is growing and starting to build new enhanced habitats for the animals. My goal will be to replicate what's there, but also start to build out the enhancements from concept art and plans already released.

I will start this thread with history of the zoo, details and plans of what I plan to build.

Should be quite a challenge for a what is a real life medium sized zoo. There footprint covers two sides of a fairly wide river. The east side is where most of the old zoo resides. Pretty flat overall, but lots of habitats and exhibits, some of very unique design. There is a huge/long bridge that crosses the river. The west side is a steep incline up from the riverbanks. There used to be a trail and tram that switch-backed up the side through thick forest. Recently they opened a cable tram ride (very similar to what is at WDW) that now take you across and up the hillside.

The top of the property has a large botanical garden, water splash area for kids, as well as a forest tree fort climbing adventure.

Recent plans and the reason for the cable car is that the entire west hillside will be developed to a new Asia themed area where the tigers will reside along with red pandas, and other primates that you will walk by and under as you make your way back down the hillside walkways.

Phew, this should be fun.
