i redid my Geriatric Park and now i'm really happy with how it looks itself; but also with how it fits into the surrounding designs. Here's the wide-angle view:
To make this all fit nicely, i reconstructed both docks seen here: the shipping port on the left and the old shipyard museum on the right. The port, river dam, and shipyard are operated by Springfielders who built a monument to worship the M'nthster; who is currently on his 24hr task which reveals the hidden lair in the water vortex. Parking for the shipyard museum is in the KrustyLand underground parking deck on the far right. The port entrance on the far left passes the Tar Pits and fish processing plant. Being off the coast of the Nuclear Plant, this whole area is themed a little on the toxic side; with the 3-eyed whale, some eternally burning fires, and just a lot of bad weather at sea; which is why there's lighthouses on each side.
The park itself is walled to appear like a true rectangle, even though it's not. This helps force some 3-D to make the dome look a bit bigger than it is. The "front" entrance to the Geriatric Ctr is approached from inside the Nuclear Plant on its own access road; while the service entrance is a dirt road on the right side. It leads to the "back" of the amphitheater and the corporate helipad. This right side corner is intended look like where the dinos breached the wall and busted out. :D I'm using the Pompeii ruins to simulate this. At the back of the park is where the tourists arrive by party boat, and then board the little capsules that let them safely roam the park, where the dinos roam free!
While collecting my screenshots to share this mosaic with you, the SFers started to congregate in my workspace, as they usually do. I was delighted to get a single shot with Matt G himself doing a guest appearance in the park, along with Bart, Mr. Burns, and a few others. Jay G wearing the white suit reminds me of the old Fantasy Island tv show and is absolutely perfect. I placed as many dinos as i have for now; i'm hoping the next few acts contribute some new things that will help fill in the empty courtyard in the middle.
This was so fun to do! i love it when the vision finally comes and it all falls together. i hope you like it and are motivated to build your own park. This isn't what i wanted for Halloween, but it's proving to be a fun theme to design so i'm happier than when it launched. Not bad, EA.
happy tapping!!!
