Those are some very nice looking pictures. I like how you had the details worked out so well. Nice work!

I appreciate your comments guys:
Blakesterville- Thank you, it ended up being my first area where I'm going to "beautify" the RHW in the metro area.
Skimbo- I guess at the time when I took the picture there wasn't much traffic. Usually during the middle of the day it's not too bad.
Mayorm- Thanks
Yoda- Yeh the next update is becoming elusive for me...

Hey guys I'm back w/an update for you all... first I'd like to proudly announce that the Meisterville area has its own theme park, with a water park area too

So let's show you guys the theme park and some rides there. I wanna also see if you guys could think of a possible name for this... since I'm not real creative today


This is the area known as Coaster Alley, since most of the park's roller coasters are in this area.


Already this is my favorite non-coaster ride... in this game and in real life


This is the area just outside of the theme park, a town that is called Lawton. It's a fairly small town, although it's becoming more suburban w/the newer bypass and now this amusement park that's been built in the last 10 years. Not to get off subject too much, but Meisterville's outer reaching suburbs are now about out to this area which is about 45 mins to downtown Meisterville {new project going on } Sorry about the mayor menu completely forgot

This is the SIH 104 and Lawton Ave interchange. Notice how the intersection was built, one offramp is right next to the bridge the other veers a little more. There was some money involved in tht as the theme park developers wanted to maximize their land as much as possible when the freeway was being built. FYI the theme park actually owned the land first, but the Department of Roads (DOR) ended up having to take some of it to build the interchange. Ultimately the bypass was built like all the other SIH's are. They're able to be upgraded to an 8 lane highway (RHW 8C) w/out any more land needing to be chewed up. IMO it's pretty smart thinking by the DOR (me )


Now on to some broad aerial maps to show my region's huge growth. If you noticed my area has grown about 100K more since last time I posted a map... and also some terraforming was done in this next photo. This area from about SE Meisterville area towards around the Mans Bay, and Naples areas, are being designated as a high tech corridor for the metro. With that designation nothing can be built w/out permission from the Meisterville High Tech Industrial Council. Also there are some serious hoops for non industrial entities to jump through in order to build a neighborhood or commercial complex.


Here's the Avondale area, where I wanted to show how tht SIH 111 corridor has come along. You can see that it's about finished and prolly will be 100% done in another 10 years. Usually road projects in Meisterville that aren't within a certain population area take longer to be built.


This is the the Lawton area where the amusement park is at...


Ok that's going to do it for me and this update, hope you guys liked it! I'll try to be better about answering the comments in here, since I don't really say anything back. Until next time

Great update Brenn, its nice to see your region growing. And your theme park looks great, the interchange is also very clever.

also for the theme park name:
Four Flags Meisterville idk thats not too original.

I would love to go to the amusement park Also that one exit on the highway looks backed up, so may be you should look into that

Quick Picture update since it's been a little while... I'm working on a actual update as we speak.

Its great to see your downtown growing

soon that mall isn't going to be in a suburban area

Cool city!

Nice small town downtown

Comments for today:

Mayorm: actually the mall is now being planned to get razed and eventually another shopping center in the surrounding area will be built. (Parkside Mall)

thomas: thanks

yoda87: "small town"? It's actually the CBD of a metro area around 804K ppl

Ok my City Diary is going to be up this evening I'm hoping... if not tomorrow for sure
*Still working on some things, and as I had told Mayorm this is going to be a large update

Thanks, Brenn22!

Alright guys a lots been ocurring since last update on here... first of all the MSA of Meisterville is a 827K ppl estimate at last count. A zoo has been proposed and financing is currently underway. A new football team, baseball team, and soon a minor league hockey team will be in the area. Many different projects for the SIH system is being done due to the booming development of late. Lastly there's two large municipal airports serving the commercial and private jets for the entire area. Soon there will be an international airport (more details later). So tht's the gist of everything and since there's so many different things ocurring I'll only show brief pics and more maps on this update.

Alright let's get to it

(Downtown Meisterville and CBD)




(Neck Island/Southeast Metro)


(This is a picture of the SIH 5 and Neck Island Freeway)


(Northwest Metro area)


(This are contains the Meisterville area's only theme park; Six Flags over Meisterville)


Here is the South-Central Metro area (aka Microchip Alley) The nickname comes from a busy corridor, Industrial Pkwy and the area tht sorrounds it.


(Central Metro; consists of the Meisterville and Brian's City core population centers. Also is the area which includes about half the metro population.)


Industrial Pkwy and the Meisterville Blvd intersection. (recently widened to 6 lanes)


(North-Central Metro area)


SIH 5 and SIH 205 interchange


That's gonna do it for a bit... still working on Part two as we speak so I'll post tht whenever it's done and RL allows it
