Update 2- Metropolitan Park

The city has unvieled the plans for the city's first urban park. Located right next to the Columbia River and right across downtown, Metro Park serves the citizens in terms of recreation. The best time to go to the park would be at dusk when you can see traffic going in and out of downtown, Halifax Sound (The lost sixth lake of the five great lakes), and downtown.

The construction began and in no time the park was 70% complete. Paths where also going to be placed around the park.

The Cyclone: A wooden coaster the can go at a max of 49 mph! WEEEEEE!

The Halifax Eye provides great views of the city!

Ahhh what really drives the kids to the park is the new Fun Zone complete with shops, resturants, a theater and an entertainment center complete with 500+ games! It's one popular hangout for teens.

Future expansion is set to be started in six months! No plans have been unveiled yet...

---

A wealthy tycoon from New York has bought a piece of land in downtown to construct the tallest building in the city!  This complex will be complete with two buildings at a total coast of $900 million dollars! Can you guess which tycoon is comming to the city?????

PS: I need some help regarding the modular amusment pack. the second dependency in the modular amusments packs is locked and I need that BSC thing so I can build a amusment park. If you look at the Halifax Eye, can you see a brown box at the base? It's kinda hard to see it.....It's by the green color thing.Thanks for helping me to locate that dependency!

[jacqulina 162]

the amusement park is looking great so far my friend.good location too.

[Hawkeye9 0]

Nice update Greekman!!! The area turned out very nice, I really like the mix between the parking lots and the greenery!!! As for the dependency im sorry i cant help you, i really dont know (But I still cant find that box on the Halifax eye though). Anyway cool update and ill be back for more!!!

[Ntq€310 1]

Nice update, hmmm IHG is going to be looking to start expanding to the city again

[remanh 1]

Looking good! And in answer to your question, I have one word: TRUMP

[SounderBruce 173]

Sweet!

BTW, SimPeg is a SimTrop for Pegasus' stuff...

[antsel 841]

The amusement park looks great so far. I can't wait to see it when you're completely finished. I'm also looking forward to seeing what's under construction in downtown.

[jimbo_jj 1]

Nice park. If the residents are anything like me, they'll really enjoy the Cyclone, not too intense, great for business. Now I think I found the brown boxes, near each of those green things. Do I get a prize for finding them? Is it in one of the boxes?!

[Muck308 55]

I didn't even notice the brown box at first. Mine works fine so if you wanna sort through the files one by one, pm me. On a first guess I'll assume its MAPP_Props1.dat or maybe MAPP_FerrisWheelProp.SC4Desc. I'll try to find links...

Great urban park. Always good to see more construction!

[N106 10]

Cool. Like the update.

[deathtopumpkins 43]

Nice update Greek! I love that park. As for the dependency... what is the file name and I can tell you probably where to get it. I have the MAPP and was able to find all its dependencies with no problems.

Oh, and where did you get the paths you used? I've seen Hal use them in the GTR too but have yet to be able to find them anywhere...

[Benedict 3,119]

Nice update, good to see the island being developed. Neat rollercoaster!

[De Ja Vu 117]

Looks great! Reminds me of the good old times when I played rollercoaster tycoon 2 Are you going to add more rollercoasters to Metropolitan park?

Keep up the good work!

We have the 'CBD' section of South Chinatown. There are an estimated 5,000+ Chinese resturants and shops.

South Chinatown is also full of apartments starting at $500 per month!

[antsel 841]

Hey Greekman, that land reclamation project looks great! I like what you've done with Chinatown. I can't wait to see what the new waterfront will look like when construction is all done. Can't wait to see how the Trump tower fits in the rest of the skyline too! Keep up the great work!

[SounderBruce 173]

Southchinatown looks nice...where'd you get the Trump Tower?

[Follarch 327]

Whoa Halifax! I think your "city" journal is turning into a "country" journal by the size of that regional view. Amazing work! I'm loving every bit of it.

[Muck308 55]

Great update! So did you find the dependency or do you still need a link?

[danielcote 9]

Love how you just use the region as one giant city!

[beebs 129]

Oh wow.. you've done wonders with the place since I've visited last.. great job! Can't wait to see what you're going to show off next

[Ntq€310 1]

Wow, that Chinatown really adds to the city. I like the density of it!

[Hawkeye9 0]

Wow, very nice update Greekman!!! I really like how you showed the plans of the area bofore you actually constructed it... it adds a nice quality to the update!!! As for the area itself, I think it turned out great!!! I love the use of parks and the tree street mod... it really makes the area look very green and desirable!!! I also love the SD refrences... I was actually in seaport village not too long ago !!! Lookin forward to see more of this awsome journal!!!
