[Knight Rider]

After some time working on and off on this park, I finally have some good progress to share! Here I present my Planet Coaster Version of Margaritaville. I will post updates here as I have them ready. For now, here are some progress pics!

Tribute to Jimmy Buffett

[Kablary]

Every time I think I might be an alcoholic or feel like a lush because I like to embibe whenever the occassion strikes, all I have to do is remind myself that Jimmy Buffet built a retail and restaurant empire themed around Margaritas, and then I don't feel so bad. 

You did a great job getting that coaster to interact with the surround elements! Love that tribute to Mr. Buffet, too.

Aww RIP Jimmy Buffet - a nice little tribute you have here! Have you ever been to the Keys in Florida? There's a certain beach town almost colonial style of housing that I thought would work really great here and definitely fits the theme of Margaritaville. As a native Floridian, I've heard that song way too much and seen so much Jimmy Buffet stuff whenever I go down to the keys 

Something like this is what I have in mind that I think could work great here:

I haven't but that would work nice in this park for sure! I will have to do some research!

Looking really nice so far! One humble suggestion, you need way more palm trees!!!

I'll do that on my next update!

Update 9/19/2023

Got some more progress done today. Did some decorative work on Carnival World Zone and also added a new future staff and backlot zone. I also set up work rosters for 3 areas to keep things more organized as well.

Carnival World Entrance

Rest areas along the rail road!

New Picnic and food pickup area!
(Most likely will change this spot.)

New Ship ride in Carnival World Zone

New animated sign on the hotel!

LOVE that path edge you have in the third photo, it's details like those that always pull a project together and tie up in a nice bow. Looking great so far!

[Wowman]

Agreed. That custom rock piece is very good. I use it all the time.

Thanks! Yea it can be a little hard to detail in this game with what is available but I really wanted this to look good.

A new restaurant is on the rise in Margaritaville!

 

[Wowman]

looks great. Almost has Bourbon St. feel on the outside.

[wolfpaw]

Love the colors you are using, looks great in the day but those night shots! Looking awesome so far, Knight!

[Knight Rider]

New Olde Timer Car Ride has been added to Carnival World Section of the park!

No guardrails for the likely-inebriated drivers? Your park's insurance must be excellent!

lol surprisingly we haven’t gotten our alcohol license yet. We applied for it last month, so hopefully it’ll be coming in pretty quick here for the new bar in the restaurant

I guess you've been serving virgin margaritas.

Nice - i have additional comments in Discord....so check there!

That looks really good! The circular pond feels like it needs a centerpiece or big fountain, but that is the only thing I’m seeing.  LOVE the swamp area with the trees!

I like this view looking out sideways. Never seen one like this before. I may have to steal this idea for my next train video.
