Description
Strat-O-Stat, Carousel, Picnic Groves.
One of the longest lasting attractions at Riverview, the Strat-O-Stat was originally known as the Aero-Stat when it was installed near the main gates in 1904. During a 1908 expansion the ride was moved to the back of the park where it received its new spaceship-themed cars and name.
Built for the same 1908 expansion, Riverview's famous carousel features 70 unique figures hand-carved by Swiss-Italian carvers employed by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company.
One of only two rides to be saved from demolition, the Riverview Carousel was purchased by Six Flags in 1972 and installed in Atlanta, Georgia, where it remains in operation today. -

what palette is this?
Bold palette. Maybe too bold... Looks a bit like a coloured black and white photograph, but maybe that's exactly the look you're going for? I'm still not completely convinced, though. Other than that, some very skillful parkmaking on show here.
Love this, the structure for the Strat-O-Stat is great.
This is some of the best stuff on the front page at the moment. Really love the use of the palette, the detail in the path, and design, and the historic attractions. I'm really interested to see this continue.
Nearly 3 years later I still find myself coming back to this screen quite a lot, especially to look at the path details and foliage, just a masterclass of old school park recreationalism. Hope to see this finished one day hpg
I feel like this screen subconsciously inspired Mahoning Gardens in some way. It has that same energy
