Amazing thread, love the idea of what scenery to see and use! Here are a few from me.

Phantom Manor at Disneyland Paris. It's visually stunning, haunting and captivating all at the same time. It's my favourite ride to this day and nothing would make me happier than to be able to recreate it in PC.
 
I wouldnt put an image of that area of Port Aventura as something to strive for Angelis [haha]
Why not ? It's look like a "kid/cartoon" area. But you right, the reference with this theme should be "Seuss Landing" at "Universal's Islands of Adventure". Better ? [happy]

Anyway, i would love to create some buildings like this piece by piece.

Absolutely - the most atmospheric haunted house I have ever seen (in live action ;) ) - the whole Frontierland-Atmosphere and the whole story-line of this section is stunning and unique

The story is there if you want to look for it, but they don't hold your hand and blatantly tell you what the plot of the ride is. They wrote an entire storyline for it, with detailed characters and history of Frontierland that ties in with the ride and explains why the house is there and why it's "haunted". That amount of detail is fantastic, especially when you consider they don't tell you that backstory on the ride.

Its amazing how they tell the story of the whole land with only theming, and the smaller stories of Phantom manor and Big Thunder Mountain. As i buy nearly every book of imaginnering that releases I knew about it before hand, but it was amazing telling all this to my friends during the frontierland queues. They really liked all the backstory and lore.

I will say though that I still prefer the inside ride of Disneyland's Haunted Mansion than the Paris one. Some of the theming in the paris one is sadly very tacky, the village part for example. Didnt really like the colours used. Its supposed to be the village in hell, but it really doesnt look like when you are isnide the ride. The art you can find in the imagineer books is amazing though, and its a pity they couldnt get to that level of awesomeness to recreate that part.

Being able to create these types of worlds where you escape and can't see the park around you, scenery that makes you feel like you are in that world. (Jurassic Park Photo)

Also, I would love the option to build haunted house facades like Haunted Mansion's, well... mansion haha! You know how the give off that creepy vibe?

Two rides within the Efteling (NL) really stand out to me considering their superior theming.
First is Baron 1898. This is a new vertical drop coaster opened in July 2015. A whole pre-show is given at this coaster and all the small details that are put into the scenery is just amazing.
Below are some photos and videos and links to the wiki of this attraction.

Second is the Flying Dutchman splash coaster, opened in January 2007. The ride is fully themed and tells te story of the Flying Dutchman during the V.O.C. age, setting out to sail on Easter, which was against the rules, and how he was doomed because of it.
These is no real clear footage of this ride, so I've found a RCT3 adaptation of this coaster, as well as a video that might give an idea of what the feel is of this coaster.

I would love to see this kind of theming be possible, where you can have an animated waiting line, or pre-show.
 
Liseberg anno 1968 and 1970.
I love the colors and aesthetics from that time.
There weren't much scenery, but there were pretty buildings (restaurants, midway games, lotto etc) with nice colors.

Adore the Virvelvinden (Walzerfahrt) which is still there today but not as fancy as at this time, roughly after 4 mins in video.

Of course Liseberg is much larger and has much bigger budget now.

Here's a 1996 version,

This is much more of what *I* remember as nostalgic as I went out so much on that time with my friends in my teenage years. I like the colorwork of Rainbow ride there (roughly 3:48 in video) , in that phase it was pink!! Before and after it was blue. (the clouds and such)

Ok not much scenery per se, so I will look up still photos instead of buildins. ;)

Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Disney's Hollywood Studios has a great theme. The park as a whole has appealing aesthetics from the hollywood-esc art-deco architecture. Universal and Disney both use the hollywood theme so having some sort of scenery pack to make both soundstage type buildings (with a lot of corrugated metal walls, girders, and external smooth walls with all sorts of curves and arches) and to make the hollywood street buildings scene down the entrance street of WDW Hollywood Studios would be very useful. Tomorrowland is also a nice theme (I personally like WDW's tomorrowland) and various country themes as scene at Epcot is useful too. Also, some basic generic CS would be nice because many themes use similar elements. Fake rocks are used in tomorrowland and at expedition everest. Those smooth walls you see outside of RNRC appear all over WDW in different paints and colors and themes.

I once was at Terra Mitica in Benidorm, Spain. It's very theme heavy, with viking/Norse, Roman, Greek and Egyptian mythology. A great looking park!
