YAY! I can finally post my finished Krustyland: (scroll right to view all)

It was actually finished a week ago, but while waiting for the ToL (53 spins!) I got a little creative.
I deleted all "visitors" and instead placed SF residents at the entrances to the attractions. I did this, along with the screenshot assembly, with MSPaint.

My favorite parts are the "Duff Beer Garden & Concert Pavilion"...


...and the front entrance, with Itchy & Scratchy mascots "borrowed" from Other Springfield.


Waiting for the ToL was difficult. I began obsessing over placement of trees, or anything else I could do to get ready for the last, elusive item.
That's when I began thinking a little outside the box.

I realized I could have more fun with MSPaint and that's when I started crafting up...THIS:

I made a real map for my fake park!

This became a lot of fun to do. I created the balloons and icons myself, including the "EA donut" that now says "EAT". Almost all are made from in-game elements.

I tried to make the map's textboxes look authentic:


I tried to set up items as they'd be in a real theme park.

- The park is meant to appear more 'tropical' toward the front, and more 'alpine' toward the back.
- most rides exit to a gift shop or KBurger
- benches face food stands
- line queues are designed to appear unchained for a slow day but would be linked with chains when busy
- addition of restrooms and other guest services
- a gated "service driveway" leads to the arena and to the back of the park (to be completed)

Here's some highlights up-close:


1. The Flea Dipper exits to the main gift shop and KBurger
2. Restrooms in an inconspicuous area
3. CBG and Milhouse enjoy the rides
4. Wiggum demarks the Emergency Services wing of the Admin bldg.
5. Now we know how Cletus & Nelson's teeth got chipped
6. Skinner dines at the Food Needle
7. Plant co-workers meet at the Duff Pavilion
8. Lisa watches whale tricks from the observation deck
9. Bart, Dolph, Kearney, and Martin each take in a ride
10. Who else would go on the ToL with Marge but Maggie?

Sorry, I tried to post a link to the full-size image (3mb, 3700x2400) but photobucket resizes it.
If there's a way to post, please PM me as I'd like to share it.

Instead, here's some trivia:

- there are 48 benches
- there are 25 trash cans
- there are 4 "coin-op mechanical cars"
- the font is Harrington
- the border is the KL load screen
- this is a freemium park (except for the mascots)
- the Death Drop's height has been "enhanced"
- all icons are made from in-game elements except the RR, 1st aid, & HC pkg.
- the flowers around the Pavilion spell "Duff" and "BEER"
- the grid is roughly 6 sq deep x 7 sq wide
- only characters and map borders were modified with copy/paste.

I hope you like it! PM me if you have any questions. Happy Tapping!
