Started a new theme park named Three Rivers Amusement Park, here are a few shots of Main Street:



And an overall shot of the park, so you can see my progress so far:

Looks really nice so far...not much to improve upon

I'd only suggest breaking up that gray stone path a bit with tarmac maybe?

Will this be a VP entry?

[adamcolvin]

This looks great so far!!

I'd like to see this parked finished.

Oh and yeah, what she said^^

[ride_exchanger]

Thanks

Id like it to be good enough to be a VP entry, but only time will tell I guess. As you can see I still have alot of work to do.

I like Main Street's 1920's feel. Very clever when you stacked two carousels on top of each other. It looks better than that double carousel you would get from TT.

look very god so far. i like the main street. it has a very nice feel to it. i also love the idea of that town hall sorta looking building and the people walking through it. maybe try to place the entrance and exit of the merry-go-round so that they arent just floating there. one thing you could try that might take some time but will look good in the end, is rasing the merry-go-rounds from the ground. that sound so cunfusing so ill explain. if you lower the ground underneath and the re-build the mery-go-rounds down there you could then build the entrance and exits down there. then used 8-cars to raise the merry-go-rounds so that the entrance and exit are still below then then pull the land back up unerneather it. it sounds like alot of work but i think it would look REALLY good. just what i think. keep up the good work.

Or he could just hold the shift key, but it wouldn't look too good. He would have the woden support squares under the entrance and exit.
Also, I never really understood how you would get onto the upper part of a double carousel.

This looks becoming a very very nice park, Ride_Exchanger, Good work!

I agree with Becky on breaking up the extensive grey paths with tiles of another path-type.

In the Greek-like buildings with the statues in the roof: the smaller one looks fine I think, but the larger one seems to still have something wrong, though I don't know exactly what...
May be you could try to place the tallest satues in the middle, may be even with a 1/4 block under them, and then going to lower in the corners, so that the height of the statues is following the roof-line.
Also the background (behind the statues) could use something very subtle: may be just stacked fences in the same colour-tone as the mud. (both in my Acropolis Revisited and in Moscow Kremlin Medley I used these kind of roofs, different, but they could give inspiration)

Anyhow, really promising, keep us updated!

Looks good so far, I like the Main street buildings.

Looks nice RE...
I like the classical style of the buildings, and I also like the colors you used, they create a pleasant and vivacious atmosphere. For the big white building, I suggest adding some deco-details, I think it'd look better, and also, if I were you, I'd add yellow flowers.
Anyway, it's a shame that the park is so small, because I like what you have done so far, and I'd like to see that stuff on a larger-scale park. Anyway, keep us updated.
