Next year ''Melaus'' wil also start the construction of a horror attraction called ''Castle Hansuig''.
The following sketches were released :

Amazing, I really love this. It has such a deep nostalgic charm, almost melancholic.
The drawings show you think about what you do, and the atmosphere you want to create.
Your foliage need some refinement, but the overall atmosphere and feeling are overwhelming.

again love the drawing and you made it all dutch ''vuur''

@Leonidas: Thank you very much and about the foliage: what can I do beter with the foliage for example?

@Piggynator: I made it al Dutch because I first placed it on a Dutch website and because it is a Dutch park. However, my next park will be English.

The Disney one?

Well, there goes the surprise

Oh, sorry dude.

Its okay, now everybody can look forward to it

Why?

Because Cena is involved.

Cena, if you don't like what you see, go away and don't annoy anyone with your annoying posts. Seriously, go away and never return...

The building for ''Castle Hansuig'' is finished and ''Melaus'' will now start decorating







And ''Van Nieuwpoort'' started the construction of a darkride at the Eastern park boundry.
The theme will be: Traveling

It does have a certain charm, but it's a bit simplistic for my taste,
You're obviously going for realism, but while doing so you're leaving out
the many details and imperfections that make reality so interesting.
I'm not getting that thrill of realism when looking at this, it looks
too rationalized and ordered. Coincidental and weird features make theme parks
vivid and interesting. This just doesn't look like the wind is blowing through it,
if you know what I mean.

There's something really nice about that fourth screen with the sign in it. But I do agree with what leonidas said, and feel that there needs to be a bit more evidence of the act of construction (piles of materials, temporary delivery routes, builders and their demountable offices etc.)
