I like how you are showing the stages of your project. Your work is good and I know it is a work in progress. The map layout was a great idea.

Is "Haraka Creek" supposed to be used as an attraction or only for a river?
Because i don't see a Entrance/Exit yet.

Some small suggestions:
- i would use more variety for the foliage. Currently it looks a bit all the same infact of smae colors.
A mix of darker greenish plants with lighter green palmtrees/trees could work a bit better.

- also for the rockwork i would choose more than only one color/texture. There are some great rock sets out there who work together very well. Against the foliage colors you can use for rockwork only dark ones if you want, but with different shades of dark colors you can bring also some kind of interesting into it.


So long, Cobra

Haraka(meaning quick) Creek is an attraction. There are two entrances/exits. The first one is located near the exit pool of Zebra Drop and the other is directly across at the entrance to Zebra Drop.

I've been looking for some "dirt" rocks but can't seem to find a legit sets out there. Any ideas?

Thank you so much! Smile The updates will continue to come. Our team finished the Elephant Habitat yesterday so we should have images of that soon.

March Update! - codiejoe - May 14, 2015

Good evening everyone. I promise we haven't scrapped out plans and are still planning an amazing theme park/water park for you to enjoy. As most of you know we had some severe storms lately here in Oklahoma and construction halted from the heavy rains, tornadoes, and floods. Rest assured, construction will be getting underway very soon again.

Last update we informed you of the African Elephant Exhibit we were working on. The team put the finishing touches on it today and we are ready to show you and we hope you'll enjoy.

As you can tell this is a very large exhibit and we couldn't be more excited about the progress we are making. As we informed you in previous posts the rock formations designed for this exhibit will help reduce noise pollution for our elephants and will provide them with a lot of ease and comfort. As you can see in the image as well the suspended African Safari Trek is running on schedule as well and has been completed near the elephant exhibit.

Stay tuned within the next couple of days for progress on our African Lion and other exhibits that will soon begin taking shape!

Let us also mention that the water park has been completed! Some new attractions have been added and some names have moved around but this experience will be one-of-a-kind! We promise. Take a look at the map below.

Large Park Update! - codiejoe - Jun 9, 2015

Hello! It's been some time since our last update and we have plenty to share with you! Last update we informed all of you of our design and images of our elephant habitat. Today, we would like to share some exciting news about a new attraction that will be found in our Theme Park upon opening day!

Located in the lower regions of the Blue Mountain Range near Congo is the Congo River Rapids! The adventure begins when you chick-in. From our spacious lobby to our well themed area where you board your raft you'll feel like you stepped right into Africa! Take a look below at the experience coming soon.

Park Update 06/26 - codiejoe - Jun 26, 2015

Good morning everyone! Thank you for everyone's patience as we work to build out the parks for you all to enjoy. Our engineers tell us we have only a short time to go until these parks will be open to the public! We've also been informed that the Water Park is 100% completed and the Theme Park is 80% completed! We couldn't be more excited to see these plans come to life.

We took our drone out this morning to get some beautiful shots of the park and show you some new construction photos! Enjoy this park update.

Congo River Rapids is just about completed. Rock work and some of the trees and plants have been arriving and going in. A lot of work remains on the station building, and facades.

Picture 1: You can easily see the remaining wall for the show building that needs to be completed as well as the actual queue line needs its roofing and facade work completed.

Picture 2: You can see from the back side the rock work is completed and our team made it look beautiful as it "falls" into our future Rhino Exhibit. The theming here will be beautiful.

Picture 3: Here you'll see an overview of the entire Congo River Rapids attraction. The attraction is about a 3 minute experience with multiple drops, rapids, and waterfalls(inside show building). Lots of theming and plants still waiting to go in!

The Welcome Plaza is getting some more work on the facades, finally! Our teams have been so busy this area of the park sort of got pushed aside. The water park side of the plaza is completely done.

Picture 1: Looking beautiful! Smile
