#lantern collection

Proooobably one of my favourite pieces of queue decor.

It’s so pretty, I really wish I had a nighttime shot of it because it’s lovely. It’s great because it’s a little wider than default queue width, so you can use it on curves and serpentine style queues with great flexibility.

Oh, man. This friend. This is a good friend.

A simple1-square piece of path decor from the Lantern Collection, it is GREAT for curves and bends in tightly curved queues. It pairs really nicely with the other two pieces of queue decor in this collection, and I often mix and match them depending on the queue itself. A great way to bump up your queue rating with comparatively little effort.

Queue decor!!

This is a very simple 3 square long, enclosed, piece of path decor. Works best on very straight path sections, and although I haven’t tried it yet, I bet it looks pretty fab if you enlosed one end and put a shop in there.

I LOVE THIS GUY. HE IS MY FAVOURITE.

I can put this shop almost anywhere. Anywhere. Swap out the interior for a smoothie bar or giftshop, change the outside signage and away you go.

So versatile. So easy to place. It needs a little bit of a sinking just to help it look flush, but it also looks great with elevated path railing imo, so you do you!

Seriously. So good. Once I get some ingame photos up you’ll see I have it EVERYWHERE. The best part is you can easily attach it to another building and make a pair and it still looks great!

I am very excited.

A cute little shop duplex in my Lantern Collection. This building is an L-shape, so it’s pretty easy to place on path corners and junctions. I love having it near ride exits, since the guests almost always have a need to fill when exiting a ride and it’s often thirst-related.

Again, easily convertible to any other shop or facility type that your park may need, and nimble enough that you can place it in a ton of different locations and it will really enhance your park atmosphere.

Another one from the Lantern Collection. An earlier build, but great for atmosphere.

This is a double sided 2-slot complex, plus ATM. It takes up about the same foot print as my wide boy from the miscellaneous collection, but has a bit more use. I personally like having this fellow near ride exits, as there’s a bathroom on one side and a souvenir stall on the other, but you can change out the contents for whatever shop or facility you need.

So this is one of the first ones I made in my current park, and it’s quite a neat little complex. I call this .. uh. The. Lantern Collection. Yep. The Lantern Collection.

What we have here is what I would consider a small to medium sized complex. It has 3 shop/facility slots plus the ATM. It can be accessed from one or several sides, that’s all up to you.

I do highly recommend using pathing-on-grid to initially connect the shops by path, or you’ll end up with some weird looking navigation. Once all your shops are connected (it’ll look like a square shaped U if you move the building away), then marry it to the actual park pathing. It’s a bit tricky if you’re not familiar with doing it this way, but it works and is definitely your best option. I really wish pathing was included on blueprints sometimes.

It’s just so pretty to look at at night. Sigh.
