Well I've only been properly into the game for the past day or so and what else can I say about it? I'm absolutely loving it so far and after being at work or on the road all day it's also very calming. 
Last night I began laying the foundations of my zoo, named Elkufré Gardens (named after an slight anagram of my username!) and I'll be updating the thread as I get on.
So far I've built the entrance area, staff village and front plaza. The entrance is quite grand and the park (sorry..."zoo") sign is complete with a line of various 2D animals across it, showing a little diversity. This is a very slight reference to the logo for Kolmarden Zoo in Sweden. The sign itself I was initially hoping to be bigger but hopefully bigger signs will be added in the near future!
To the left of the entrance is the staff village, which consists of all required staff facilities, as well as power generators and water treatment plants etc. As someone who's previously worked in theme parks, I wanted the area to have a calm and pleasant feel to it, as though it's the sort of feel I would've wanted.
Guests will then enter the African village of 'Erlfefku' (another anagram of the same word!), which currently only features a food and drink outlet, gift shops and a few small exhibits. As a theme, this will act as a transition into the African "biome" (I'll be using the same formula used in Planet Coaster with themed "lands", however here I'll be referring to them as "biomes".).
Some parts are lacking details but there's only so much I can fit in on a work night!
As for other biomes, so far I've additionally decided on the Amazon, Asia and North America, however I'm sure others will follow in time.
I'll try and get as much done as I can throughout the week and I'll keep you updated.

And for some reason, for the only ride in the park, it's currently proving very unpopular with guests.
