KrustyLand Legacy Park Memorial

May 30, 2018 update:

I'm opening my thread to everyone who'd like to preserve their original KL designs before EA's apocalypse takes them all away.

Please post your legacy KL Mosaics here. Hopefully this thread won't also be nuked. My condolences for our loss, KL fans. Peace.

March '17 update:

This thread suffered the same fate as all others in the migration to this forum platform, and lost its original post.

But here again are the original pictures from the thread: my KL (from back then)...

...and the "Guide Map" I made for it:

The back story is simple: at the time, there was a lot of anti-KL attitude. Few had invested considerable design time to KL, and so I created a park to refute the naysayers suggesting it wasn't fun to design in KL. Just for fun, I then took it a step further; designing a map to try to stoke enthusiasm for the KL expansion. Which I think was successful, as many more players started posting their clever KLs, and requesting that EA add more KL features. The hype didn't last long, and since then the game has evolved to many other things, as it's a very forward-moving game. So I'm not necessarily surprised they haven't revisited it, just disappointed.

But hopefully someday, EA will utilize the KL expansion module again. It's just got so much potential. If you haven't seen the real map of KL*, you've missed the dozens of rides we could get in the game. Crazy cool rides there. I recommend voicing your desire for this content to EA!
