6 hours ago6 hr Wembley Park was a Pleasure & Amusement Garden in Middlesex, England, opening in 1894.The Park still remains today, although it is used for different purposes, now housing Wembley Stadium, a well known Landmark. What is quite unknown however is the structure which one sat in its very place. The Centrepiece of the park was created by Sir Edward, who wanted to rival the Eiffel Tower, Resulting in Watkins Tower. The design for the tower was part of a competition where several people shared their unique visions of the tower. The Winning design was an 8 legged structure with a height of 366m. This however clearly didn't see through, and the tower was reduced to a 4 legged design as this much cheaper and the tower was reduced in height, Still taller than the Eiffel tower. When the park opened, The Tower was still in construction, however you were able to pay a fee to climb the 1st floor of the structure, which would end up being the only part that was built. The Novelty of the tower quickly diminished, and funding became a struggle, resulting in the abandonment and dismantlement of the Tower, Forever Lost In Time.The RCT3 Project:The History of the Park has always been a fascination of mine, with the concept of what could have been today being quite a strange thought. The Tower is such a marvel of a structure that it is shocking how not many people knew about its existence, So of course, I had to bring it to life in RCT3. The Plan For This Project is to encapsulate the ornate and botanical nature of Victorian Parks, along with Fair Ground rides which match this era, Framing the Watkins Tower which will provide breath-taking views across the Gardens.Construction Update #1The Tower CS Piece was an early model I made in 2025, So Construction of this Tower was more successful. I have also began the pavement work, linking the Tower to a Large Fountain, which provides a beautiful View with the Tower Looming in the background. I have also began experimenting with the Foliage, including my custom 2D Tree lines, which help fill in gaps between Trees. Edited 6 hours ago6 hr by C O N S T E L L A T I O N
