    First off, yes I'm new. I've been lurking here at zoochat for a few weeks now so I decided to join. :)

    Now that the introduction is over, here's my current project that I've been working on: a custom zoo made in RollerCoaster Tycoon 2. Why rct2 you ask? I believe that a more accurate protrayal of a zoo can be made in RCT rather than Zoo Tycoon due to the ability for more extensive layout, scenery, and architecture options. The only thing missing is 'live' animals, but what I have will suffice.

    I've been showing this at other RCt forums, but I wanted your guys' opinions since you're the zoo experts. :)

    So with all that said and done, welcome to Tahendo Zoo!

    Giant Panda Forest:
    Outdoor Portion (2 exhibits)

    (Guests are able to peek into the exhibit through an underground cave near the pool)

    And in between the two, a large indoor section which includes indoor exhibit/viewing, a small are detailing about Giant Pandas in the wild, and China Wok, a small stand selling Chinese cuisine.

    More to come!

    They're custom scenery, part of "AE's Jungle Cruise Set".

    Well, everything you see there is made from scenery, it's not like Zoo Tycoon where you select a fence type and make an actual exhibit, I'm making everything.
