The series is called Almaraj, and this first video walks through the entrance step by step.
I mix pieces from several themes to create the gateway, then add a ticket booth, guest services kiosk, mosaic details, flower beds, and a small parking area.
Here’s the video: https://youtu.be/CgLZUk0Pp7s
Let me know what you think. Enjoy.
I wanted it to feel like an older amusement park tucked into a city, with the streets and surrounding buildings being as important to the atmosphere as the rides. It’s been a long build series, so it was nice to finally stop building and walk through the finished place.
Here’s the tour if you’d like to see it: https://youtu.be/YXqR5Ecrlxo
I’m making one final cinematic video, then I’ll put the park on the Workshop for anyone who wants to explore it. I’d love to hear which part of the park you like most.
For this one I wanted to keep the theming relatively simple and believable for a smaller, older city park rather than surrounding the entire coaster with huge themed structures.
I ended up using a lot of landscaping, custom supports, banners and smaller astronomy-inspired moving elements around the track.
I also completely redesigned the coaster train using the Art Deco pieces to fit the station we built previously.
This is actually the final speed build from Northgate too! There’s still more to come before we completely finish the park, but it definitely feels like we’re getting close now.
Full cinematics and POV are included at the end! 🎢☄️
Been continuing my realistic fantasy builds, but this time I wanted to try something other than another
building.
I took Ground Control and completely transformed it into an Orc-themed flat ride with custom war cart vehicles, a themed queue, ruined tower, cave walkthrough and a couple little training-ground scenes.
Really happy with how much you can change the identity of these flat rides when you start theming the actual moving parts and vehicles rather than only building scenery around them.
Would you guys continue with this Orc style or try a completely different fantasy theme next?

I’ve seen a bit of discussion about the new counters being pretty bare, but personally I quite like having the blank canvas to build around.
So I decided to see what I could actually turn them into for my Northgate park.
I ended up making themed Donut & Candy Floss and Corn Dog & Fries stalls, a functioning Midway Games stand using some of the arcade props, and I converted my older custom Popcorn Cart so it now uses the actual popcorn counter.
I also go through the builds step-by-step in the video, including the custom signs, 20% scaling tricks, prize/food displays and how I mixed the new Art Deco pieces with scenery from other packs.
Hopefully it can give some inspiration if you’re trying to figure out what to do with the new counters!
Thanks to Frontier, I’ve been given early access to the new Silver Screen Pack, so I decided to put some of the new pieces to use in my Northgate park.
I built a complete station for The Comet, my Schwarzkopf Anton coaster, mixing the new Art Deco and Terracotta sets with some of the Small Town pieces from the Parades Pack.
The video goes through the full build step by step, including the station, outdoor queue, custom fencing, foliage, signage, interior clutter and the new wait time signs.
So if you’re curious about the Silver Screen Pack and want to see how some of the new pieces actually look and what you can do with them, feel free to check it out!
This is Part 1 as well. I’ll be continuing with the coaster trains and theming the rest of the track in Part 2.
Would love to hear what you guys think of the new pieces and how they fit into Northgate!

Frontier has officially revealed the Silver Screen Pack, featuring seven new rides, a new Art Deco theme, terracotta building pieces and the return of the Studios theme from Planet Coaster 1.
I was invited to the digital first-look event and made a breakdown covering everything we were shown, along with my thoughts on the returning Studios scenery. Some pieces looked identical to their PC1 versions, although the nighttime presentation made it difficult to tell whether they’ve been optimized or rebuilt.
The new rides look very promising, though, especially Fourth Wall, which is similar to Danse Macabre at Efteling.
How do you feel about the mix of returning scenery and completely new content?
Frontier just showed off some of the features coming with the free Update 11 on August 19th, ride photos for tracked rides and flumes, customizable wait time signs and five new concession counters.
But I think the more interesting part is the tease at the end. It REALLY looks like some sort of Studios-themed DLC. There are movie-style props, spotlights, what looks like a new entertainer and even some Art Deco pieces.
The full reveal is August 12th.
I made a quick 2–3 minute breakdown of everything shown and some of the things I spotted.
What do you guys think, Studios Pack 2.0 or something different?
A few days ago I shared the tutorial showing how I built the scenes inside Grand Tour, and now it’s time to experience the finished attraction.
Grand Tour is a compact dark ride built in Planet Coaster 2, taking guests through:
🇮🇹 Venice
🇪🇬 Cairo
🇯🇵 Tokyo
🇲🇽 Mexico City
🇨🇭 Swiss Alps
The goal was to make every scene as detailed as possible while keeping the footprint very small, so each country feels immersive despite the limited space.
This video is the complete experience with cinematic shots and the full ride POV from start to finish.
I’d genuinely love to hear your feedback, especially if you have ideas for future dark rides or scenes I could build!
After the response to my Warchief's Hut, I decided to continue my fantasy blueprint series with an Orc Food Market.
The goal was to make it feel less like a simple shop skin and more like a place that's actually been used for years. I focused on layered canopies, environmental storytelling, custom clutter, hanging meats, and a rough handcrafted style inspired by Warcraft and Vermintide.
If anyone wants to use it in their own park:

I'd love to hear what you'd like to see next. I'm currently thinking about a forge, tavern, blacksmith, or another fantasy building.

Hey everyone!
I’ve started a new 3-part parade tutorial series in Planet Coaster 2 where I’ll be building a complete 6-float parade.
For Episode 1, I asked my YouTube Community and several Facebook groups what they’d like to see, and the two most requested themes were:
🦖 Gulpee Soda Factory
⚙️ Steampunk Airship
The video walks through the entire build step by step, so hopefully it’ll give you some ideas for your own parade floats.
Next episode I’ll be tackling a Sci-Fi float and a Fairy Tale float.
I’d love to hear what other themes you’d put in a parade!

With the Parades Pack releasing, I wanted to try some of the new scenery pieces in my Northgate project.
Instead of focusing on parades, I built a vintage bandstand for the Barber Shop Quartet entertainers, added landscaping and seating areas around it, and found a home for the new Little Dipper drop tower.
It’s a smaller episode than my usual tutorials, but I thought some of the techniques for adding atmosphere, greenery, and gathering spaces might be useful to others building realistic parks.
Would love to hear what everyone else is doing with the new pack!
The Parades Pack embargo has officially lifted, and thanks to Frontier I was lucky enough to get early access before the DLC launches this Thursday.
For my first build with the new pieces, I decided to create a classic dark ride facade and queue for my
Northgate project called Grand Tour.
The attraction is themed around world travel and exploration, and I used a large amount of the new Small Town scenery pieces throughout the build.
In the video, I go through the entire facade, entrance, and foyer step-by-step while sharing some thoughts on the new scenery set.
The actual ride scenes will be built in the next episode.
Would love to hear what you think of the new Small Town pieces and what destinations you’d include in an around-the-world dark ride.

I’ve spent most of my recent time building realistic parks and working on my Northgate tutorial series, but I wanted to try something completely different.
So I challenged myself to build a realistic Warchief’s Hut in Planet Coaster 2 using mostly Viking and Toy Box scenery pieces.
The goal wasn’t just to build an orc hut, but to make fantasy architecture feel believable through silhouettes, environmental storytelling, clutter, and custom bone structures.

I’d love some feedback from fellow builders:
What fantasy style would you like to see tackled next?
• Forge
• Trading Post
• Watchtower
• Feast Hall

Enjoy folks!
I've been working on my Northgate City Park project and just finished one of the biggest areas in the park so far: the central plaza.
The goal was to create something inspired by classic parks like Tivoli Gardens, Liseberg, and Gröna Lund, while keeping it compact enough to fit a realistic city park footprint.
This tutorial covers:
⛲ Custom Victorian Fountain
🎡 Themed Ferris Wheel Station
🏪 Vintage Refreshments Shop
🍿 Custom Popcorn Cart
🌳 Landscaping & Plaza Design
🔨 Custom Fencing Techniques
One thing I really focused on was creating a strong focal point with the fountain and Ferris wheel while still keeping plenty of smaller details around the plaza.
Blueprint codes are included in the video description for anyone interested in using the builds.
Would love to hear what you think and what your approach is when designing plazas in Planet Coaster 2.
