Wow, thanks for all those great tips... and with some definite patterns among them, I see that there are some changes to be done... now getting them done is another thing. Overall architecture design is my biggest weakness... just not good at being creative with objects... but I'll see how I can spice it up some.

The idea behind the big restaurant and then the tent covers at the side of it was simply to show an outdoor patio section to the restaurant... but perhaps that can be improved some, and I already made changes to that waterfall, as well as putting a few more details into the private member's section.

Nothing quite worthy of new screenshots, but I should have some new ones soon.

Looks pretty good for your second park. The foilage here could be improved but is still pretty nice. The restaurant is nice too and was wondering what the name for it was. The amphitheatre and private group sections look great, though the theatre could use some seating, and some entertainers on the stage.

Overall, it looks good. Looking forward to more.

Overall, I've had a wide variety of suggestions from the different forums that I post in - so thanks for that, I do take the suggestions objectively.

Thought I'd post a little update - nothing too exciting, but I like to pay attention to detail, and finish off with one area before moving on. I've been working on some details for the private member's section of the park, and also I've been working on the main entrance of the park.

PLEASE CLICK HERE TO VIEW MY SCREENSHOTS

For the "main entrance" screenshot, it is by far incomplete, but I wanted to post my progress with it at this point as I'd like to seek out some advice as to the best way of spicing it up, particularly around the bridge over the water portion. As you may have noticed, I did make some relatively minor changes to the patio side of the as of yet unnamed restaurant, including reworking the waterfall... but I wonder what else I can do with it. At the bottom of that screenshot is a souvenir shop. Inside of it are numerous different souvenir stalls.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Yay, a new screen, first, I must say that the restauraunt canopy section is much improved with the trim and waterfall tower removal. The only thing that currently bugs me about the restaurant is the entrance, you need to put something on it, such as a roof eve, or quarter tile block to bring it out into the space a little more and help it say "Look at me, I'm the entrance!" Other than that, the restaurant is fine.

Souvenir Shop: This structure is WAAAY too close to the edge, you have Plenty of room in this park, let the structure breathe a little, pull it off the edge by at least three tiles, perhaps line it up with the entrance plaza path. Also, is it a monorail station? If it isn't, it would be a great place for one.

I like the canopies over the group zone, I like the idea going on with the path in the amphitheater, but you need to choose one design, for all three parts, or make them similar.

The main entrance has definatly improved. I hope you're building a monorail in your park, because I think it would work really well!. I also like all of the fountains, don't get rid of them because they make your park seem more lively. Those striped roofs look nice as well, but it would be better if you used more variety in my honest opinion. Other than that a big improvement from your last work thirstydeer and I hope to see more of it soon. Keep it up!

I think the ampitheater was changed for the worse. It looks cluttered now.

The pool is nice, but the flowers seem dull in color. The monorail building just has to much diversity.

[Ben Flores]

hmmm.... ok i suggest using dirt under all your paths. also... instead of just pine trees.... try using small bushes too, it'll look better.

just my opinion. but the amphitheatre would look much better with a hill leading up to it instead of just that wood face also... try using the 1/4 flowers mixed with some bushes and small 1/4 trees, instead of just big flower beds. try it... it looks great.

looking better. cant wait to see some rides from you

The main entrance reminds me alot of my home park, Paramount Canada's Wonderland.

[thirstydeer]

That is my homepark too... has a bit of an influence on me.
