Greetings PC Community!
The goal of this thread is to document my spouse and I’s construction of our park! We want to take what we have learned from scenarios and sandboxes in the past and apply it to a new venture, while also sharing the process with the community to get some feedback and field ideas.
This park is inspired by the tropes of Disneyworld with a focus on theme and family enjoyment vs a roller-coaster-haven-style park. We’ve been calling it Liberty Land, but aren’t 100% on the name (would love suggestions!) We’re starting out with paths, basic building structure, and trying to recreate the feeling of 18th-century New England. (Essentially the bones of the park before the decoration/shops/details.) Eventually our Americana area will lead to various other themed corners of the park (Adventure, Sci-Fi, etc). Hardest thing so far has been how paths interacted with the sidewalk pieces; we can’t decide if we want peeps walking on the sandstone sidewalks or not :-/ It could be a fun way to hide a queue in the future!
For initial park layout, we’re thinking something due north of our entrance building to serve as a landmark for the area with a town square/market between. Doing some research into American landmarks; hopefully something will be there next week! East we wanted to create a little inlet in the dock, which was honestly something I spotted in Assassin’s Creed and thought was cool. West we wanted to make a little plaza for a Merry-Go-Round, with the Old North Church kind of serving as a landmark for that area. We put in the bones of a food building that was modeled off of the Crown Coffee House (old Boston tavern on docks).
View entering park docks looking at the Merry-Go-Round plaza.
Faneuil Hall Park Entrance: Our park entrance building is inspired by Faneuil Hall, which was a marketplace and meetinghouse in Boston at the time. It's been built on and added to and looks quite different now, but we went for the original.
Crown Coffee House: Based on Boston tavern that is near the old docks. Fitting right? Future home of lots of beverages. Which food stalls would best match for bar food? Burgers? Frites? Hot dogs? We need a pretzel stall stat!
Old North Church: We might put a shop/stall/bathroom in this eventually. It’s just one of our favorite Boston monuments and thought we’d put it in to set the theme some more!
Our goal is to post an update every week, maybe more if we’re having an inspirational week! We’d love to hear feedback from the community. We're holding off on sharing any blueprints on Steam Workshop, but will be adding major buildings as they are completed!
