So heres a few shots of my park. I may keep going, or start over, didn't really catch on to the scenery I chose, so buildings are limited. I was thinking of using a modern/ Island re-theme going for this park.... well just let me know what you think. I'm going to go for custom rides only and yes (its a double loop recreation but the way I think it should go with an banked turn when it exits the station) and the woodie isn't custom, but I liked it so it will probably stay. _________________ Geauga Lake I will miss you!

They would complain they were tired and there were 3 exit/entrances of which they could leave, but they don't want to leave instead they walk back and forth. I'm hoping in time they leave or decide to walk my entire park when finished. Or maybe they are just retarded, lol. _________________ Geauga Lake I will miss you!

I've never had peeps get lost or say they can't find the exit. I think it might be the stalls that are "distracting" them from the exit (not the information stall, but the other stalls, because some guests find the exit just fine. _________________ Geauga Lake I will miss you!

Two I added dominator (with proper colors) and added a dominator food court built right next to the coaster. I added a monorail that goes around.  I did build an extra coaster on the other side of dominator but I didn't grab a picture yet, but don't worry lots coming real soon! enjoy! Oh yea and Thanks Sohio for the path advice and website, it sure does help when you understand the peep point of view. _________________ Geauga Lake I will miss you!

Also about the one in the steel building I named Car Factroy (but whats inside is just bumper cars) I like trying to theme the smaller rides. It helps build interest. _________________ Geauga Lake I will miss you!

(from the guest point of view) If there is a flat thats all the way at the back, they will walk just that far to ride it, I find often they will ride stuff along the way. Either that or before they exit they ride the favorites up to the front entrance. So far so good and thanks for the advice! _________________ Geauga Lake I will miss you!

I'm in the process of adding a small wave pool. But lucky for you we have a huge expansion and photos for you to enjoy! Just look at some of the lines for these water rides. They eat this up like candy! The last image will demonstrate how long those lines are. I've got 90% to 100% popularity. And just for those of you wondering my park rating is at a perfect 999. _________________ Geauga Lake I will miss you!

Pic 2 - Good choice for the path, the dirt style works well with the tropical theme.  Color choice for the slides works well, nice and bright without being garish.  Using a shuttle monorail to get people to the area is a great touch. Pic 3 - Adding the lake helps this area greatly.  Maybe divert the monorail over part of the lake for more excitement?  Or throw some bumper boat action in on the lake? Just some ideas. Pic 4 - Gong with blue for the monorail track helps tie it in with the other rides in the area.  The white sections of the river rapids ride gives it a Jurrasic Park ride feel, it just needs some extra details to make it work, if that's the look you're going for.  The tree spacing is fairly even, might look better if you made clusters of trees surrounded by bushes to give 'em a more natural feel.  Another suggestion would be to have the line for the splash boats go over the track just after the drop, for that you will get wet on this ride, even in the wait line experience.   Pic 5 - Peeps just love them Dinghy slides! Overall this is probably the best area of the park so far.  Great work on the supports, and keep it up.  Your skill is improving with each update.  And, Neptune over there by the entrance is just begging to be moved to H20 paradise! _________________
