I have to say, while I was bummed to have to nuke my 5star KL and the Group storage function failed me, I didn't mind having my KL on the same screen as my SF until the damn Bonus Area requirements kicked in.I HATE being forced to 'upgrade' the bonus area to the full 20%. During the Heist event, I stopped around 15% so I could keep my design from being to crowded or awkward looking. And as soon as we got to the 2nd act, I removed extra stuff from around the museum.But between the huge size of the Injury 500, the being forced to craft crap I don't want to level up in crafting and level up the bonus, I keep having to rearrange my KL after I had once again gotten it to a place I liked. I didn't want a bigger race track, so now I have bits of track crammed in between rides so they are in the all important 'bonus area'. The itchy and scratchy parking lots are fun, but huge and again so awkward to place close enough to the bonus zone.For now my KL/I&SL is becoming a frustrating disaster area that I will have to keep rebuilding when the event is over.I wish we could go back to no level requirement for crafting, and no "forced" leveling up of the bonus area. It's a bad combo.Sorry, rant over.

Agree - Its a pain. I just dump stuff in during the event and disregard bonus after. You really don't get a lot for the bonus, but newer players probably find it helpful.. I have enough crafting currency put away to hit 20% on act 2 right away.

At least the bonus area in this event is large. The last two have had really small areas so things really were crammed in there.

But it's only large in one direction so everything has to be crammed on the same side regardless of rhyme or reason. I don't want my parking lots on the same side of the gate as the rides. At least the other events had the bonus area 360 around the central item.

It would be fine if you could sell the items afterwards.

I think a bonus area is a stupid concept. Having to make a design based on the size of the bonus box. I won't be able to fit anything in the bonus area as it's already filled up with Krustyland. I think this objective is intrusive and a meaningless requirement.

I've put my carparks where I want them. In advancing through the prize track 10 or 20 foam knives will make minimal difference to daily players .

This doesn’t affect me since I’m so incredibly far behind on designing my own SF, but I completely understand this objection to the bonus area concept.

I'm interested to see how act 2 will work. I assume it will be in the same area. Hopefully the bonus starts over and we can put the Injury 500 in storage for now without affecting anything.

Well after reading through act 2 and act 3 walk through. Looks like we will need to keep Injury 500 out through the acts and same with the log ride through act 3. I suppose the more log ride anf other items you craft. You can slowly put injury 500 into storage.

you don't need it out but you'll need up to 50% bonus area too
