I mentioned the high ticket prices at Disneyland and how Walt Disney would probably feel about it.
During the intro, I talked about how our theme is around an old timey amusement park in New England.
While talking about sight lines, I mentioned forced perspective.
Much of what I am building is based on the Federal architectural style.
While replacing the old clapboard wall pieces with the new brick wall pieces, I briefly mentioned the building system in Icarus where you can replace pieces directly with a piece of a different material.
The modern ferris wheel was invented by George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr. and was originally meant to compete with the Eiffel Tower as an attraction.
After accidentally deleting a tree, I was a little nostalgic about Rollercoaster Tycoon‘s more granular hiding options.
I mentioned quoins, not coins.
Later on, I talked about the Tea Cups ride that originated in Disneyland. I also mentioned the Parachute Drop at Knott’s Berry Farm. I named the Tea Cups in this park after the Boston Tea Party.
While talking about vandalism and graffiti, I mentioned Banksy.
