    I love the idea of a water park game pack, while they’re are at it, I’d like a a non rabbit hole amusement park and a zoo!

    I would be happy with a stuff pack. I don't think what the OP posted along with things like pool floats for various age levels, pool games, and a pool bar is too much for a stuff pack. Maybe a GP?

    I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around a full Waterpark EP just because I'm not sure how that would work in a closed world. I suppose the world map could be set like a park map with several very large lots that can be edited with different rides.

    I think at one point there was a survey that included something along the lines of a Waterpark. Anyone remember that?

    I wouldn't need a world, just good game play and animations. It could either be a new venue type (waterpark), or an update to the pool venue that we already have. What I want most are good build items, that lets you design your own slides by putting them together in different ways. Slides that are functional and look good in game. Along with lots of other things that might be used in a water park. Lifeguard seats with NPC lifeguards. A waive machine. Platforms and stairs being usable in the pool. A sloping platform so you could have shallower and deeper ends of the pool. Different size and type of trampolines. Toys to play with. Hot tubs and bars that are placeable in the water. Things like teaching a child to swim, or sending kids to swimming schools. Curved pools. More creative ways to make pools look like likes or beaches.

    Add a few downloadable lots in the gallery like with restaurants and spas, and I'm good. No need for an entire world for one water park. Knowing EA the water park will be huge and the objects impossible to use elsewhere and most of it rabbit holes if that's the case. No thanks. Give me the option to put the water park wherever I want it to be and to build my own.


    I like your idea. I feel like with the way EA does things the pieces would be huge with or without a world and it would be difficult to flesh out a whole Waterpark within even a 64×64 lot. I could be wrong though. I do agree though I would want to be able to build my own, not like the massive ski resort stuff we have in SE

    I wonder what the chances are of ever seeing larger than 64x64 lots.

    Either way I think the things you mentioned would bring a lot to the game in terms of gameplay.
  • I would buy this like a shot! It sounds awesome. I can't believe we don't even have slides and diving boards. :/
