"Pacific Park" level blueprint


 This ambitious map (complete with chicken-scratch) aims to combine an amusement pier with an underwater aquarium, which in retrospect seem like two ideas better kept separated. I think of the roller coaster track as an optional component, though I like the idea that the pillars of the track would be visible throughout the complex. For some reason, I was envisioning this as one of those "maps which could be re-used for multiplayer," but looking back this seems a bit misguided.

Piers seem to make for interesting level design due to the natural aquatic border on all sides, and of course their friendliness for modular components. And building an effective aquarium level is certainly somewhere on my ever-fluctuating bucket list. But a merge of the two is dangerous chemistry indeed, and should be handled only by experienced professionals at all times.
