Park Layout Help

[Catpohl]

I am looking to build a new park and I have hit a bit of a block. I cannot for the life of me come up with a good layout idea for the park. In the past these sort of things just came to me but this time is different. Can anyone help me by talking about your own tips or places to look for inspiration? Thank you

It can be a bit overwhelming an empty park. But it helps if you create a story for the park and give yourself some rules (large/small park, old, classic, fantasy etc). Also watching some youtube video's of rides can help, like this one https://www.youtube.com/user/SocalAttractions360

My tip: Get an idea for something that you want as a center piece. A castle? A lake (which is very often used)? A mountain? A big tower? Many theme parks do have such a center piece (Example: Disney world has the castle in the magic kingdom, the Tree of life in Animal kingdom, the lake in Epcot and the (former-) great-movie-ride in hollywood studios.). Next, you probably want to have a path leading directly from the entrance to that center piece, so if you have a rough idea of what size you want the park to be you can locate the entrance. Go from there.
