Really love the entry building. As mentioned before - - the details put me to shame.

Oh my...I LOVE the look of that entrance! As much as I love the other styles you've done in the past, this one is something else...perhap because it's so very different. Anyways, it's a fav...

Who lost their slice of watermelon and is that what's attracting flies (I mean, besides Wanda...?)

Thanks, Wowman and Wagi. It's been a long time since I've actually designed a brand new park, so I wasn't sure how well I'd do. But so far, I'm extremely pleased with what I'm doing with Animal World (much of which I haven't shown yet) and I think it's going to rival Wonder World in its scope and design. I hope...

You'll find some odd items lost by guests in the park. Especially strange, as the park hasn't opened yet.

No kidding! Is that a watermelon???

Just checking to see if you all are paying attention. 😉

The new ticket booths.

It looks like the same jokester who made the Annual Pass signs for Wonder World is also in charge of the signs for Animal World. I expect Mr. Wonder will rectify this once he discovers it. (I believe no one but JB was "paying attention" over on the Wonder World thread.)

Meanwhile, it looks like the Flamingo breeding program is working quite well.

I like the ticket booths! Modern, decorative, and rustic, all at once. Looks like Wanda knew what she was doing with the flamingos. Or maybe she just got lucky. And for the record, I also noticed the watermelon on the shelf. But I gave you the benefit of the doubt, and assumed it was just a plushy pillow, not an actual wedge of melon. ;-)

I think I'll get the Wanda pass when all the parks are open. That option has no blockout dates, just some blackout dates because of the 10% discount on alcoholic beverages. So that's easily the best choice.

Lightning Pass is only $25???

Either Wonder didn't notice that misprint or there's aren't any actual rides or things you can use it on...

Considering there are no rides yet, I think it's actually outrageous. But right on par with Mr. Wonder. (The standard Lightning Pass at Disneyland is around $32 btw. The Lightning Lane Premier is the one that's $300 to $400.)

What's this all about?

I'm guessing Wanda is going to be mid-wife to a litter of flamingos.

"I'm sure Scooter can handle things while I'm away".... Oh dear.

And people complain that MY posts make them feel ill... 🤢

Scooter's plan of action on his first day alone on the job.

Well, I suppose Scooter will make less of a mess of things if all he's doing is sitting around reading Superman Action Comics.

Scooter...week 2.

Edited July 23Jul 23 by shyguy

Hahaha. Well, I see that he was at least doing something constructive, like playing RCT3. I also see that Scooter was suckered into buying Theme Park Studio... like me. Umm, maybe they can sell a few dozen flamingos to another zoo? Has Scooter been there to check on the birds even once? I hate to ask, but when is Wanda due back? (I'm concerned about the welfare of the flamingos.)

I've doubled the number of service windows at Guest Services.

The first glimpse of Zimbwowee Vilage... the restrooms.

The men's room.

The woman's room.

Baby changing station.

Meanwhile....

Scooter decides to check on the flamingos.

Walking into a pen of crazed, starving flamingos may not be the best idea.

I love the flaking stucco/plaster on the facade of the restrooms. I also like the cool, peaceful colors on the inside. I'll save you some trouble and not mention the clogged sinks. (But the sinks are clogged!) ;-) Like Mr. Perkins over at the other park, I'm confused about the "baby changing station"... Do we hand over a one-year-old, and get 2 six-month-old babies in return? Or maybe I misunderstood. Maybe this is where you can change your baby into something that isn't human, like a monkey? I'm interested to see how Scooter reacts to the room full of crazed, starving flamingos. (And how they react to him! Perhaps Scooter will get skeletonized by the famished birds.) 💀

The sinks aren't clogged! They're just very shallow and have blue-colored bottoms!😏

And since you can't import your own objects into the game, like Planet Coaster 1, or have the ability to re-size objects, like Planet Coaster 2, the sink building options in Planet Zoo are more limited. And besides, Scooter has been banned from doing any more plumbing projects in the parks, so even if they were clogged, they'd just have to stay that way. But they're not. So there! 😠

Not sure if I saw this, but did you actually change the name of a worker to Scooter in the game? I don't think I ever tried changing their names before, or if its even possible.

There goes about 3 days of my life as I have to now rename every staff member in my parks.🙄

Ummm....

So Scooter has a sense of humor. Didn't know he had the intelligence. I wonder where he got that skeleton prop. Or maybe it's the original Park Inspector from RCT3's Wonder World.

Enough silliness (for today). The Storage Lockers

Haha. I had to laugh when that first image came up. The flamingos seem very fat, happy and satisfied in that pic. I figured that wasn't really Scooter lying there, stripped of his flesh. Although, this being fictional/fantasy, I suppose he could've been brought back somehow. It warms my heart to think that the skeleton might be Mr. Jobsworth from RCT3.

I like the contrast of the modern, clean interior of the storage lockers, with the rustic, peeling, flaking, thatched exterior.

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!
