(Archive) Advertising District / Frutiger Gardens

Some of you guys may remember this park from some older fiestas. Construction had been stalled on it for about a year, so I too, the (daring) decision to start over with a new and updated bench. So, although everything's rebuilt from the ground up, some things in this screens may seem familiar.







(You can view the old fiesta topics here and here, if you want to compare with the old version)

I like it but it all looks so large to me, it's almost too spread out in a way, besides that it's really good though...

Beautiful fountain and surrounding foliage.

Looks very good. The fountain is fantastic. You could add some additions to the last screen though.

I remember this!
Looked nice in the past, looks still really nice now.

Amazing !
Left me staring at that building in the first screen for a good 5 to 10 minutes !

Awesome Kenneth!

Great architechture. At first not entirely sure if the brown brick parts fit in. But the longer I look at it the more i like it. Good work!

Classic Kenneth, but with more refinement! Great job!

don't change a thing!

your work's really nice. very refined and refreshing, good job

I loved your work already, but the refined things are much better!

You're very gifted with framing areas with the plant life.

The fountain is spectacular. I love the way that you've left a circle of grass between the pink and orange flowers. Your architecture is realy nice too but im unsure about the colours black and white. I think if you were to use warmer colours it would be better. I do really believe that you should use a different colour for the roof. A fence on the right side of the path in the first screen would be nice. The second screen is great too but i dont like the tree on the bridge, well the planter as a whole. Realisticly trees dont grow on bridges hovering above water from what i know. Also if you add more colours like the yellow, red and orange it will really liven the area up more. I love the steeplechase in the last screen, very american, themed well. The only way i think you can improve that screen is to have fences on the sides of the path, maybe a bit more foilage and another ride or something. preferably a flat. Overall though this is a great start, You have a great architectual and foilage skill so ill be keeping a beady eye on this topic.

I really like this – the beautiful fountain, the grandness of the entrance structure, the openness of the areas... all of it. I also appreciate the plant life which, while being basically untidy and assorted, looks pleasant in a natural way. As a personal preference, I would’ve liked a bit more colour on the white buildings, particularly in the second screen, but that’s all I can say really

I think that would ruin it. The white dominance with the subtile recurring splashes of fruity colours (pretty much every bright colour but blue) make this park look so literally fresh, and also slightly surreal. It's so light!

Thanks everyone! I really liked the fountain myself, so I'm glad to see that others do as well.

I agree with Liampie that the entrance area doesn't need more colour. You also can't see some of the colour splashes I've added in the screens: there's the carrousel (the green roof in the second screen) which has its fair bit of colour, some more signs and awnings. I also deliberately didn't fence off some of the paths, because there's already some kind of border included in the path itself and the openness of the area was lost (even with a low fence).

The last screen is the most unfinished one, so that area will still get some more additions an details.

Looks Awesome!

The next area is slowly taken shape. This is once again a reprise of an older theme, although this one dates back even further. (People from RCT-Guide may recognize some of the names)

The bull head sign is awesome. I remember some of the names indeed.

I don't like the woodie station. It looks way too simple for your standerds. Also I don't understand the roofing change from the main station and the little building on the right of it.


Well anyways, good luck with your park.
