Lagoon feedback and ideas

See @Jens Erik it would be great, and tealistic, and it would lead to the mosasaurus scene with Zara!
Hello Parkbuilders 
!
Here are some of my wishes/proposals for the future of the JWE2 Lagoons.
Today it is possible to build monorail path in the Lagoons and the marine reptiles swim and dive perfektly without colliding with the Pillars !
So i think it should be possible to give us rocks and seaweed to make the Lagoons more interessting. For Sandbox it would be great if Lagoons could have the option to have a natural rocky boarder in some parts of the Lagoon. For more interaction between Marine Reptiles and Dinosaurs it would be great if this rocky Lagoon borders could in an update be build directly to the shellow water of the Maps. Dinosaur that come to drink could be attact by some of the bigger Marine Reptiles ( like Nilcrocs catching wildebeests) , while Some of the smaler like Ichtyosaurus and Plesiosaurus could be catched from spinosauroids like Spinosaurus , Suchomimus or Baryonyx ( Like bears catching salmon).
A Riverride Attraktion with boats like in "Jurassic World The Ride" would give us the option to build path on the shellow water and in the Lagoons. Marine Reptiles could then destroy Tourboats and be an danger for our tourists, if the Marine Reptiles are not comfortable with their Lagoons.

I like that idea. I just hope we don't have to maintain it every so often. The game's already stressful and constraining enough as it is.
I'd love something like the Indianapolis Zoo's Dolphin Dome for the more modern eras. For Jurassic Park, the Jurassic Park: The Game aquatic facility would be an awesome thing to have available in it.
Another thing that would be cool in all eras is an underwater tour vehicle. There's some concept art for a plesiosaur lagoon submarine thing from Jurassic World that would be awesome there...and I'd also love to see the river tours as another normal tour option anyway.
Yes like a submarine where the guests can see everything and maybe it could have no made oath and it just follows the marine reptiles in close proximity and maybe the dome could be like a floating bubble.
A submarine sounds like a deathtrap if you combine it with any of the larger lagoon animals.
that´s a chance for more "interaction" between visitors/rangers and Larger Lagoon animals 
!And it would look so cool. It could be somthing like the "Triton Submarines" https://img.nauticexpo.de/images_ne/photo-g/48944-15681115.webp
Found the bit of concept art for the scene.
Plesiosaur Pond
The Plesiosaur Pond was an attraction originally meant to appear in Jurassic World but was cut from the final film. It was to be a large pool like the Jurassic World Lagoon inhabitated by Plesiosaurus and several unidentified species of ichthyosaurs. Visitors to Jurassic World would be able to...

It's more of something like the old Disney Leagues subs

... but maybe it would be cool to have this kind of "Submarine Monorail" for the JP era and free driving mini Submarines ( 2-5 seater) like the "Triton Submarines" for the JW era. In the opening scene of JWFK there was an Submarine like that and the Mosa showed why we better should not something like this in his
Lagoon
!
Another suggestion is a small lagoon what is much shallower and imitates coastal waters for smaller marine reptiles like Plesiosaurus and IchthyosaursMy main feedback for lagoons is that they are hard to see them from overhead or from viewing galleries because of how murky the water is. If possible, make the water less murky and more clear so it will be easier to see them. This could be why there are no decorations for the lagoons right now- it’s too hard to see kelp or rocks.
The shark feeder could be useable by other large marine carnivores, so it has more use besides the mosasaur.
Ideas:
Landscaping brushes or placeable items in lagoons. Kelp forests, corals, smaller schools of fish and rocks that they swim around are all ideas to make it look more natural.
Larger viewing galleries- the current ones are nice but being able to make wider and bigger ones will improve out view when we look out of them- plus the current sized ones seem small compared to how big lagoons can get.
Floating islands:
You are able to place a piece of land in a lagoon that can be terraformed and have rocks/ trees added to it. You can connect it to a bridge that goes over the lagoon or choose not to. The largest size can have a hotel or guest amenity buildings on it. So you can use them for decoration or for guests. Maybe even having a land animal paddock on it. The size of the island will reduce the total lagoon size so you may need to make the lagoon bigger to accommodate the animals living in them.
Tour tunnels and underwater domes:
Being able to see our lagoons from below might be even better in terms of lighting and seeing the dynamic animations. For tunnels there can be two kinds:
Pedestrian tunnels- where it goes from one side to another allowing access to different parts of the park. Foot traffic only. From either side of the tunnel guests have a view of the lagoon.
Vehicle/ Monorail tunnels- Where tour vehicles and the monorail can cruise through a tunnel to give a great view of the animals. Vehicles/ monorail only. From either side of the tunnel guests have a view of the lagoon.
My favorite- a underwater dome. A dome needs one connection to a path/vehicles tunnel and it can be in different sizes. The largest size domes could have amenities, decorations and small hotels inside- how cool would it be to eat lunch underwater or look out your hotel window to see marine animals? Domes, like tunnels, are on the bottom of the lagoons. A large dome will take swimming space away from a lagoon so it will have to be built even bigger to accommodate the animals. You can connect a foot traffic and a vehicles tunnel to it.
**EDIT I changed "Bubbles" to "underwater domes" as that makes much more sense. Lack of coffee in the morning
Am I the only one who found that scene incredibly distasteful, unearned and just plain mean? Worst scene in the whole film.
I found a way today to drive/dive a Gyrosphere in the Lagoon, just like a submarine without any mods !!!
If you want to try it, thats how You can do it too !
1.) I build my testpark on the German Map and placed a really big lagoon down by the shore .
2.) build an Gyrospherebuilding high above on the hill with a short circle track.
3.) build an hill as close as possible to your fence of the lagoon.
4.) place a long rock horizontal like a bridge/ramp from the flattend hill as close as possible to the fence.
5.) drive in the gyrosphere down the hill to your ramp an you can drive over the rock like a skyjumper into the lagoon!
6.) have fun driving between your marine reptiles like in a Submarine on the Ground. You can view this animals and even hear them. Internal view works best, because you drive 20m deep in the lagoon and most of the Marine Reptiles dive often on the surface.
I wish you all fun with this " Preview" of a JW submarine....lol
ps. Tourtrucks and rangerjeeps can´t use this "glitch" ....they simply dissapear after the sink into the lagoon.

I'd assume that's more of an easter egg than a glitch thing...a nod to the Fallen Kingdom scene with the gyro going into the ocean. Something similar to what you can hear from certain dinosaurs if they've eaten people...I found a way today to drive/dive a Gyrosphere in the Lagoon, just like a submarine without any mods !!!

to be clear...you can drive the Gyrosphere under water hovering 1m over the ground lmost in the whole lagoon, you can switch all sightmodes ! its realy like a submarine, but you cant´t control the depth in which you are cruising under the surface
!in fakt you could be right and its a cool easteregg
Was mainly thinking because I'd have assumed the Gyrosphere driving uses the same general systems as the other vehicles and it's odd that it's just it which can go into the waterto be clear...you can drive the Gyrosphere under water hovering 1m over the ground lmost in the whole lagoon, you can switch all sightmodes ! its realy like a submarine, but you cant´t control the depth in which you are cruising under the surface

Before the big patch cars etc. couldn´t even sink into the lagoons. I was very happy to find out that at least the Gyrospheres can drive to discover the lagoons from an other perspective. If you drive to a good piont of the lagoon and look up to the Marine reptiles above you and to hear that cool sounds they make is great. An Underwaterdome or Tunnel or an Microsubmarine would be just such an awesome attraction in our parks. A glass bottom boat for some kind of " Jurrassic marine tour " could be cool too.
Something like that for example:
