Interesting so far.
While I do like we're you're going with the buildings, they seem a bit un-detailed. Use some crown moulding or various balconies/sculptures to give it a bit more of a '3-d' feel. You could also use a color or two to wrap around areas of your building to make it more interesting. Also, while the glass is very nice, it opens up a bit of a flaw in the building in that you can see that some have no floors. If you'd put floors inside the buildings and maybe a detail or two, this could be increibly amazing. Liven it up and add some detail and you'll have amazing stuff here.

CedarPoint6 - Yea - this is one big problem I now face. It's either start again with the buildings or just try me best to ''fill 'em up'', but I'm still new to the whole 'extensive theming' so I'll take this idea into account if I start another project much like this one.
Most of the buildings are actually themed fully, however. You say 'balconies' but most buildings I've came across are just a massive rectangle of glass and nothing else. But I *do* see where you're coming from.
Thanks for the comment.
DTCM - lol, thank you very much dude.
NP - Yea, I have a knack of making thin buildings. Not that I do it intentionally - I just don't want to mess up the scale of everything now.
Lauz - Thanks for the words :lol: Download.....You'll be about 18 when it's up for download the way it's going......Very slow construction and idea are running out!

Here's a screen shot of the new plaza out of the new Underground Station.
Not complete yet but would like a few thoughts......

Since when do they have flying coasters at fairs? Haha.
Seriously dude, this is absoloutely fantastic and it's slowly becoming one of my favourite parks out there. Not my absoloute favourite, but very, very close. And you should consider that a huge compliment, since I've seen a lot of parks.
Great job, keep up the amazing work.
Louis!

Brilliant. Nothing I else I can say. Apart from there are no flaws!
It would be a great idea, but IMO it would ruin the fabulous atmosphere this 'fair' will have.
However I would really like to see you attempt a London Eye style building on the edge of the river. Your park would then completely blow my socks off! They are having trouble staying on at the moment.*
NP
*Due to the sheer quality of this park, not because of any other shenanigans.
P.S. Sorry for the long comment, I know how much I like long comments on my park so I figured I would give you one!

Long time eh?
Last month I ended my 2 year drought of employment, so I've been working and going pub every night, thus meaning I've not had anytime to work on my project - apart from the odd 5mins before I sleep.
-----------------
Bitter - I've taken your advise and have places some benches here and there. Because all of the 'tarmac' is scenery pieces the benches are quarter building blocks, from the art deco set. It still looks convincing, just.
Lauz - Idea taken on board, you'll see a few tower blocks in the pictures below.
V_F - :roll: , thanks though.
00 Tom 00 - Thanks a lot dude. I do like to take real life photos of London and I'm trying to make this project as realistic as it can be - so each screen shot looks like a photo taken from above....or whatever.
LFTL - Not there yet eh? Well, I'm gonna have to try a little bit more eh? Nah, I really funking appreciate the comment dudette.
NP - Well I showed you my London Eye rough design and that was the best I could do I've scrapped the idea, however, it was such a fantastic idea I'm really sad that I wasn't able to create it.
-----------------
Improvements everywhere.
I've taken out some of the main road and added a tunnel - new high rise tower blocks at the back of the map and a new underground train line has just been added.
I've just been touching up areas here and there - I've not put a lot of effort into making a super cool building but just making the map look nicer and filling in some of the land.
Photos speak louder than words, so I'll shut up now......
Here's an overview of the developments happening around the bottom of my map. The underground section is now complete, all that needs to be done is the station (near to the Docklands Arena) and a Cinema Complex* on the top of the picture (Light brown patch).
Here's a close up, I've tried with as much detail I can put into this.
The main road has now become a tunnel, may not be realistic for transport but it gives me a load of space. You see with the space provided I've created a new plaza and soon to be a new sky scraper, much like Euston Tower.
Tallest tower block on the map and one I'm quite pleased with. There are two more smaller versions yet to be complete - I'm also going to add a small shopping area.
Although this picture is old, I didn't include it in my last update. Around the Docklands area there are old cranes dotted around on the bank side, I thought I'd add a few myself.
The story so far.......

Wow, 99 percent of the things I see on NE Designs aren't even as amazing as this. I'm serious, every person that's starting to do architecture on Roller Coaster Tycoon should go to you for advice, as I've never seen anyone do architecture this good.
Amazing park, I'm excited to see this complete, and I'm glad you're not letting this park fall into the abyss, as it has been a while since the last update and it was beginning to scare me! Great job. I'm excited to see the fair also.

NP - Yes, you're bloody right. Get off that fat smelly arse of yours and do your RCT work!......Please :lol: Thanks for the ''Supwerb'' comment.
Lauz - Yea, everyone's most probably ran out of comments to make for the park. I must say the updates are repetitive and don't worry if you can't find anything to say, as long as you've taken notice of the update and appreciate it then I'm all fine.
LFTL - Ha! Wow, I'm never really big headed but that comment made me slightly big headed now, more ways than one n'all......*crack myself up*
Thanks for the opinion, I always feel that I can better myself at RCT - but if I'm nearing the potential of NE then I must be doing a good job here.
Bitter - *hugs*

Just a small update. One area is almost complete! Omangoes!!!
Theater Square has had a massive makeover, the story is an old derelict building has been renovated to a s****y new Cinema/Club. Most of the building is new but you can spot the old fashioned pilers left, matching the underground tunnel beneath.
Cinema/Club as a whole
Another view
Theater Square, almost complete
Picture just looked cool

Fabulous! Absoloutely funking fabulous. Like I said before, it's absoloutely perfect architecture. Not blocky, nice use of the scenery, and all the buildings are unique from one another, and unique from most buildings I see in any Roller Coaster Tycoon park.
As for the new cinema, it's great. I love the whole walkway thing, and the clock in the centre of it. The building does look pretty cinema-esque as well, if that makes any sense.
Keep up the great work.
