Description
"In 1910, a carousel was built on a small plot of land, which would later become a forgotten amusement park. Bought in the 1920s by a young entrepreneur, the park built a scenic railway and a beautiful ferris wheel. The park suffered financial problems in the great depression and closed down in 1937. After the war, it reopened and ran until 1979, where it met its demise. The park fell into disrepair and in 1993, the rotting remains of a once great park were sadly torn down and scrapped."
And so goes the story of this park. I started it way back in 2010 and much of what has been built on the park has remained the same since 2011-2012 with the back of the park being built a few years later. However, I rarely touch this park now and I've lost interest in it and it's kind of obsolete. It is at 80-90% finished now and if you want to work on it or mess around with it, feel free to. -

Would've been cool to see this finished. Has some Riverview vibes in here, hpg would love this if he didn't fall off the face of the earth again.
Very cool to see fully supported wooden coasters in the park. I can tell what you mean by the park being "kind of obsolete".. the bench seems pretty old! Still a good use of textures, just a few buildings were a bit too big. Highlights for me were Silver Streak, the entrance castle, and the Flying Turns. I definitely got an old school vibe from them.. ala John Miller / Harry Baker.
this park is such a strange "wants to be realism" but is just so far from it as far as I can tell. I'm pretty sure you've moved on a lot from this so I won't give much constructive stuff, but I really loved the main entrance castle-thing and the entrance for silver streak. Some quality shows through here, although much of it is quite blocky and confusing. The flying turns are neat too
Vegetation for me was nice.
Some big buildings, but I still liked the architecture.
Parts of this feel really familiar - can't help but think I've seen the flying turns and that tower before somewhere.
This has a pretty cool classic park vibe. I'd love to see (and do myself) more of this style of park someday.
