Nice work!
It's clear why this idea intrigued you so much, you've made an incredible introduction! I'd love to see you complete the entire attraction. This asylum setting is genuinely unnerving and Gothic in the best way.
Monaco works well. A replica of the Grand Casino as a deluxe hotel! We could still add a value hotel themed to Greece over on the other side of the Italian resort at some point.Hmm...debating about changing the location theme to Monaco rather than Greece? Just because of the transition from Spain, to France, then to Italy from the City Walk to the two resorts. Also the buildings are more conducive to a large scale 700 room resort. Thoughts?
Now that I'm thinking about it that might be a fun layout
Fantastic!UNISEA CONCEPT MAP!Early layout concept for UniSEA. Entry into Victorian London through covered archways leads to a grand reveal of the central iconic Hogwarts Castle across the lake.
As this park's most unique feature, the castle is actually a full-scale in-park boutique hotel! A western river alongside Skull Island's jagged coastline connects to the greater Resort waterways. Hogwarts hotel guests arrive via boat across the lake and are sorted in the Great Hall into their Hogwarts house rooms. Here from towers overlooking the whole park, they LARP in the world of Harry Potter, with special park access into Hogsmeade.
Waterways and boat transportation circle the island of Hogwarts and Hogsmeade. Most lands retain views of Hogwarts, which actually ties in visually to their various settings - Victorian London, the steampunk sci-fi of Wells Laboratories, Transylvania, and Hyrule.
Only Skull Island and Pokémon Land (real name pending) shouldn't see the castle. On this side, the central island is defined by seaside cliffs inspired by Dover, England. From Skull Island, the moored steamer ship Venture helps control sight lines, as will trees and smaller structures in Pokémon Land.
Caves separate these two lands. Over them, hidden, is a roadway servicing Hogwarts, with an alternate hotel entrance in its courtyard by the school's Clock Tower.
This map of Hogwarts is the basis for the hotel's layout. Guest rooms dominate the western complex, as does the Great Hall banquet restaurant. The eastern complex is primarily the structure for Forbidden Journey, with possibly some hotel elements in the tall structures above it. All Hogwarts facades are redesigned from IOA's forced perspective template at a larger scale.

Map looks great! Everything flows so well -- and like the touch of adding what looks to be a service road to the Hogwarts resort.this is my reactionUNISEA CONCEPT MAP!Early layout concept for UniSEA.

You're right; Margaritaville would be a lot better in Jurassic World. Don't know why I didn't think of that!
Really good work! This is all very spot-on. Ooh-wee!
im thinking maybe a basic walk through maze of draculas castle and frankensteins lab, it will be similar to house of horrors basically, maybe a underwater roller coaster for creature from the black lagoon like this
You're good! I know what you mean -- and I agree! I remember @David2319 wanted to have some sort of trolley in the park -- it might actually work better over here in the new City Walk!You're right; Margaritaville would be a lot better in Jurassic World. Don't know why I didn't think of that!
I like what Americana at Brand did with the trolleys. What if we did that with CityWalk, but base the trams off the ones operating in Mallorca? I think those have the style we need!
EDIT: Sorry, I quoted the wrong post.
yeah i noticed that the area needs some originality, i mean most people think dark rides suit the monsters best but coasters could too if you thought about it,
Currently UniSEA has the indoors Mummy coaster, plus an outdoors War of the Worlds coaster likely with a layout similar to Cedar Point's Maverick (tracks and trained themed to the London Underground dangerously twisted by the Martians). Hopefully Pokémon Land can host a family-friendly coaster too (themed to the Legendaries?).
It could -- I know we aren't using Red's Grey Hulk ride but something like that could be interesting over the water briefly could cool!
