Well, got the new GHI Zoo under way, thought I would post here since the old zoo went belly up after the Gharial build rofl .. I had only 40k when I started on the Gharial Lake addition, so I expected as massive drop as I worked on it. They don't have plants yet as I am in the negatives after a 20k loan to get the food and enrichments in there.
It is also the 2nd time ever using the boats. So getting the timing down is everything I guess. I threw in my adults and the best babies from my old zoo ( to save money rofl ) and hopefully they will fill up this new expansive area for the guests to enjoy.
In the top right you can see a path going up. This leads to Peafowl Park which was another issue with the last zoo ( split the huge park into 4 sections so I could keep the 4 groups separate - this time I have a smaller park and a single family ).
Vehicle wise, so far I have the overhead transport ( name forgotten ), the monorail and now the riverboat. I know I will end up losing money again, but fingers crossed the money makers will pick up or can make more of them ( info center adoption packs rofl )
Edit: Alas, several years after the 20k loan was paid off and still losing 2k a year and sitting at -100k to -120k. Time for another zoo rofl. The good news is that I am learning something new each time rofl.
