Fountains are a good idea. If you can't do one big one, make two small ones. One on either side or something. (BTW: Have you noticed that the snow builds up at the bottom of the page? Cool!)

Wolfman: Thanks for the suggestion of breaking the unconstructed fountain into two. I will most likely use this idea...or have a small bridge so that the fountain looks like two.

I appreciate the comments so far. I feel like I am improving with every step I take uring this project.

[Wolfman]

Yeah, I figured that there wasn't the room for one fountain in the center.

Just a quick update (sort of):


A photo of the proposed first park, Starbird's Holiday Adventure was left on my desk this morning...



I have also been told that the park will be anchored by three-four roller coasters, which each holiday having its own. There four coasters will include a Batman: The Ride inspired clone, a GCI wooden coaster, and a Vekoma Suspended Family Coaster. Once more progress has been made you will be able to visit the web site for more information. Happy Holidays.

EDIT: I know that the path underneath is not connected, and that I missed painting a wall on the second story of the entrance.

Small update, the station for Plymouth Plunge has been constructed:

Mmmm... looks pretty good.

Maybe you could switch the textures on that square on the wall facing the viewer... the pink square just isn't doing it.. try normal brick but in a different color, perhaps?

Thanks Luketh. I have a big announcement though; I am going to restart on this project. My lack of planning well has made this project less fun than i anticipated, and I want to be able to finish at least one map this time. I have no idea how many maps this project will end up being now, but after just one day of research/planning, I have ideas for seven maps so far.

In likely order of release dates (note: different than order of construction):
1. TTC/Shopping Village
2. The Starbird Project Museum & Welcome Center* (name subject to change)
3. Resort Map A** (3 resorts)
4. Casparona Creek Amusemtn Park
5. Resort Map B** (3 resorts)
6. Starbird-*Guest company* Studios
7. Starbird's Holiday Adventure


*possible move to TTC map (1)
**number of resorts subject to change

Man, you're starting big... Seems like you're having problems finishing, too... 7 map projects take forever, and they're also for people that have a more than amazing attention span... I suggest you start small, you know, just a little 60x60 map that you know you can finish. After you finish that you should move on to the big-*** 7-map parks.

Just throwing that idea out there, don't take it the wrong way.

Buildings look great. Good job.
