Buildings & Attractions Themes, considering what can be done with other Frontier properties

Themes are something that at least a few are quite desperate for (I'm not sure that it's a strong desire here, but it seems to have a small following on the subreddit). This post is more like a compilation of ideas, so most of it will be stuff you've seen before, by myself and other people.

There are three main themes that I think might work, that can't really be done by the Planet series:
  • Ica stones
  • Amber
  • Polar temperate forest
Ica stones
(every single one is fake, but the pseudo ancient art styles are interesting. The rocks are Andesite, covered in a soft film by weathering or cow dung.)

Amber

(we all know the amber from the movies, but in reality it can contain much more than mosquitos and be in a variety of different opacities and colours)

Certain amber can be green when heat treated

Unpolished amber can look like simple stones

Polar temperate forests

(one of the distinguishing features from modern temperate forest is the 3 months of darkness)

Insect house - Amber theme
I wouldn't really expect much from this, considering insects from amber are probably too small to really see in game, maybe just changes to the exhibit plaques when changing amber source.

Nocturnal house - Polar theme
I'm not sure if animations for buildings can be changed out when switching between upgrades, so I've chosen similarly sized variations for the two locales.

Ica theme
These are natives to the Ica region I felt fit with the colours of the Ica stones, with greys and blacks in part.

These are amber source plants.

Polar theme
First is found in Australian Eumeralla formation, the last two are not found in Alaska's Prince creek formation, but are found in the similar aged Koryak formation of close by Russia.
Araucaria/Brachyphyllum [A. columnaris & A. heterophylla are good representatives for polar forms]

Sensitive fern (Onoclea) [The genus did explode in 2016, but O. hesperia leaflets seem similar enough to the living O. sensibilis for it to be used as a model]

Hey. Sorry. Maybe there is a language barrier somewhere and I didn't see it. I don't understand what you are saying. Do you want visual customization for the park buildings?

It's all intended to be new buildings, though I can see the confusion with overlap for a few.

I'm working with the assumption that models for existing buildings can't be changeable.
