also gave the area a mini-golf circuit, plenty of theming here

more shops and a small "pier" looking out to the waterfall

Here we have "Swashbuckler" (the pirate ship) and "Rum Shaker" (the rotor ride)

the building in the middle has the ride on the side of it! Called "Overboard". Inside the building contains the ride queue (quite small), several shops and lots of pirate animatronics and treasure chests etc....

entrance goodness

ok next time to have some fun with the waterfalls! In the opposite corner to the rollercoaster, i built a small mountain range, and created the waterfall coming off of it. This meant for a water or beach based theme to the area next to it, that also has to tie into the scenery of main street. One solution...PIRATES! Always good in a tight spot. You can see the "Pirate's Cove" area beneath the waterfall there. There is no rollercoaster here, as I've aimed it at a slightly younger age, yet theres plenty for all tastes. Pirate's Cove

i also added this sexy lil' donut shop...

Yeah man, smaller trains go faster, and you can have more of them making the queue go that bit quicker. and yeah ive got soaked and wild. And in reply to the first chap, yeah the corkcrews look a bit ugly, but they increase the ride intensity a bit, and the excitement. Heres another view of "Infestation" with the Rollercoaster, simply named "The Crystal" behind.

connecting the main street to crystal gardens called for something small but effective. I came up with an overgrown island, with chain fences, almost like a snake encolsure at a zoo. I built just the one ride, "Infestation", and the small hut on the left houses an ATM and First Aid Unit.

The rollercoaster had that nice blue colour, and somehow I got the idea of crystals in my head. From here came the idea of "Crystal Gardens" with a glass, sharp look to the environment. I coated the station with glass walls, and added glass barriers around the "plaza". The brick building contains bathrooms, a pizzeria and a drinks stand. I also added the doube-inverter called "Shatter".

From here it was time for the first Rollercoaster, best to start big I thought. I had no idea of theme or colour sceme or anything here so i just built the damn thing. It's a "Twister Roller Coaster", tried to make it as big as possible...it does go underground, but i don't know if you can see where from the picture. It contains four 2 corkscrews and an underground barrel roll. Here's the coaster

and again I added a small pond infront of the wheel too

more entrance way a bit more foliage for the entrance way to give this great overview

I've seen all you lot posting your parks and stuff on here recently, and i must say they're all very impressive. I thought I'd share my latest design with you all. It's called "Sweetwater Valley", and im customizing everything as i go (land, water etc) so it's not all going to be completley flat. Enjoy. OK, so here's the entrance way. I've gone for a "log cabin", "naturalistic" theme to it, with the big wheel in the middle as the focal point as you walk up the main street.

This is in reference to your opening pictures of the water park..... it's got "Typhoon Lagoon" written all over it! Nice though!

Hey hey.... hope you're enjoying what my fair country has to offer you in terms of thrill seaking excitment. When you go to Thorpe Park make damn sure you go on the new coaster there its incredible!!!! Hope you enjoyed the Towers and the Pleasure Beach! Welcome to England!

Hi guys, just had a look through your Europe 2005 stuff and loved it. Being a Brit myself i hope you're all enjoying what our majestic country has to offer in terms of Alton Towers, Blackpool Pleasure Beach and Thorpe Park. Just thought i'd ask for some tips really. Im planning a mini Theme Park tour of Germany in late August/early September. Planning to do Europa, Heide and Holiday Park...and maybe (money permitting) heading to Walibi World and then home from Amsterdam. Just wondering if theres anything special I should check out along the way, and if there's any "hidden" treasures (ie the not so famous rides) or food etc. Obviously im primarily going for Expedition G-Force! Which I'm so excited about. Anyone just lemme know if you think anything! ELZ
