i like the archy but there are logical mistakes

the lighthouse is placed on the wrong spot

a light house leads ships into a bay or river and yours should be (look at overview screen)
on the left rock near the bridge, there it would make a lot more sense
it looks really de-placed

you can fix that, there are only trees

This thing has spotlight written all over it. Just amazing Iceman.

why...do...you...let...us...suffer...like...that...?
I WANT TO SEE THIS FREAKY PARK INGAME.
That's crazy work, man.
I see at least one spotlight coming!

This thing has spotlight written all over it..

I can only agree with Jkay!

simply perfect

I really appreciate the atmosphere here, but other than that all I see are buildings. People go to Disney Parks for rides and atmosphere, and so far all I am feeling is the latter. The park looks to have a very strong foundation and looks very likely to be a good one, but I'm not really agreeing with what the other people posted in this topic here. I'm not criticizing you for not showing any rides yet, but I'm not sure how a park can predicted to be spotlight at this time.

Damn that's a lot of replies in less than 24 hours.

Could you give me a few pointers for my park?

It depends. What are you looking to improve on?

Can't wait til you get a strong enough computer to wreak havoc with RCT3.

Sorry to dissapoint you, Trix, but I got a new computer and tried RCT3 and found it very lacking. I've already uninstalled it from my computer.

Thanks, Turtle, Jkay, and others. Glad to hear ya'll like it. thirteen, don't look at the map as a whole, but as the area with the lighthouse as a self contained area not on the map. If you look at it that way, I'm sure it will make sense. That and that's the way the Imagineers designed it.

And Phatage is right about one thing: you can't judge the park fully yet. However, I would like to reiterate that I'm still in the scenario editor and will be until a vast majority of the park is done. That way, I can choose the scenery I need as I go.

The Cape looks sick, but I don't like the name of the lighthouse. There's no hurricanes in New England.

Question: From what I counted you still have six lands to do. I don't see how you are going to fit them all in that amount of space.

Abyway, looks good as always.

It's a 256X256 map!!! It will fit although his only enemy is the sprite limit in this case.
Looks good as usual Ice. btw when you finished the park (which won't be soon I guess... but anyway) lemme know, then let me de-WW it for you

Impressive, to say the least. It seems you're the only one who manages to hit home run when it comes to Disney atmosphere. I especially love the lighthouse and its surrounding area. Just wondering though... Isn't the American Waterfront spread out a bit too much compared to the size of the map. Where are you gonna fit all the other areas?

Hurricanes in New England are possible, just not common. I see what you mean though. Before I did a Google search, I thought Cape Cod was in North Carolina.

DF, the only area I'm worried about cramming onto the map is Port Discovery. Other than that everything has plenty of space. And Tyandor, thanks, but while you wait, why not take a whack at de-WWing Disneyland.

Since I live in New England, and about 30 min from Cape Cod, we do sometimes get hurricanes (mostly Nor' Easters).

But anyway the Cape Cod area looks beautiful. Reminds me of some of the buildings down here. Aunt Peg's Village Store looks awesome. It just has that colonial feel.

Sorry for the lack of updates, but DisneySea has been moving slowly, if at all, for the past couple of months. Port Discovery is proving to be a real pain. It figures the smallest area of the park would be the most time consuming. So I went to the other side of the park to continue. I was going to do Atlantis, but decided against it when a better idea hit me: Vikings! How could I forget the infamous pig-tail haired terrors of the sea? Pictured below is a Stave church. A Stave church is a wooden church built during the time that Christianity was entering Norway. The church is Christian but the architecture tries to keep with their pagan heritage. Screen is a work in progress.

The Viking area will include a sit down eatery named Restaurant Akershus and the areas E-ticket ride will be a suped up version of Maelstrom from the Norway Pavillion at Epcot. If it keeps moving along like this, expect a bigger, better update soon.

I love early Norse history/architecture and the church there looks quite nice, which, even at this point, looks nice as a work in progress.
Two things thought:
1. On the right side of the church (I'll assume the left is the same as the right as well), with the fences (?) up on the side made to look like a window (?), will they stay looking a bit plain or will they be enhanced a wee bit?

2. To the building on the right, sort of at the bottom, will the edge of the roof be so sharp and plain looking or will there be something added onto it? (Yes, I know it's unfinished, but I was a hint curious)

I definitely enjoy the storyline, but the actual quality of the screen is sort of a disapointment. The architecture itself is a bit bland (especially the building in the lower right hand corner), and it seems sort of undetailed and plain. The church is quite good however, but the surrounding area doesn't match that quality, IMO.

HOLY HELL YOU SUCK!!!!

Not the parkmaking, of course. I'm referring to the fact that you've shown me up like the Prom Queen showing up the chess queen. Or king. Or whatever.

My only complaint is that you're gonna have a very cramped layout with the rest of that. You have two areas that effectively take up like 2/3 of the map, and the spacing of the rest of the areas looks like it'll be sort of weird.

But geez, you better get Ty to de-WW'ize this, please.

That has been arranged as soon as he finishes the park, so don't worry

The building needs front doors.

Thanks to those who noticed the "Screen is a work in progress" part.

I've restarted Port Discovery from scratch, and I finally got the groundwork for Aquatopia done and to my liking, but there is still so much to do in that area before I can show a close up screen. However, here is another overview as of today, 04-14-06:

Notice the still unnamed Viking area in the lower right and the flowering Port Discovery at the top. Mount Prometheus has also begun to take shape, but its not turning out as well as I had hoped for so far. Luckily I have all summer to iron out it's kinks.
