thought you guys might like this, but i don't feel like retyping. soo....
i'm pretty much just gonna copy+paste what i've got on NE.

on the 23rd-
small park, North African theme.
it's a bit of an experiment, and i'm trying to use as many textures as looks reasonable.
i've got the core of the park done, maybe an overview later- and 2 coasters with mostly finalized layouts.

Sandblast (name subject to change should i find a better one)- GCI, sprawling and speghetti-bowlish.
Station mostly finished, layout unthemed as of yet.

Corsair- Vekoma Flyer, hugs the cliff face on the north western corner of the park, using some odd elements and several water flyovers.
layout partially themed, station just started.

Here's a teaser; the Babylonian, a small cafe/bar located in the core circle of buildings in the small north african town of Nihombasa.
years of weathering from the nearby desert and coastline gives the buildings a faded, windblown look; Carthaginian columns abound, and yellow sandstone is the material of choice. Cobbled together from the bounty of trade and piracy as well the local ingenuity, the Babylonian is an old building named for it's terrace roofed by a hanging garden, which is lovingly maintained by the owner; the windblown town is not an ideal place for the terraace's tropical and domesticated inhabitants.

slightly unfinished; i'm having trouble getting any sort of seating to look good, so i just left it out for now.

yesterday, the 31st-

Update via quick reply, as this computer can't handle the actual reply button, somehow. -.-
Some older work here, touched up a little for screens and then forgotten about for a while whilst i moved eastward to the italian style villa and plaza (rumored to have been built by the Medici as a retreat) that overlook the coastal caverns and related piratical activity.
anywho- the black domed building is the former place of worship for the muslim population of Nihombasa. Built long, long ago, it follows a plan that hadn't ever really matched up well with the activities designated for it, espescially lacking a large meeting hall. The building is still a proud symbol of the town, but due to it's age, a recent movement towards other religions, and the general labrynthine nature of the interior, it was sold and is now functioning as a rather unique sort of bed & breakfast, allowing guests to stay in the former quarters of the town's religious officials and serving a mediterranean breakfast (optionally vegitarian) with ingredients fresh from the adjacent market.
The market itself is a source of great mystery; some stalls have remained in the same place and have loyal followings, entirely funding their owner's fortunes, while others are simple tourist traps or failed business ventures recovering or breathing breathing their last in the more forgiving nature of the town square; rent is no problem here, at least.
The old mosque has been replaced by the structure with the highly visible tower; the town meeting hall, a more western concept that is reflected in it's obviously modern style. Next to the timeless aniju's spices, and indeed, built into it, the hall is a multi-purpose religious, government, and entertainment facility that, while a bit of a clash for its neighbor's is a very practical part of the town.
