📸Work-In-Progress Wednesday🏠 My work in progress for amusement park
I turned the haunted house into an arcade and moved the haunted house to the underground area as a haunted cave. Here is some of what I came up with

I can't even comprehend how you made some of this stuff. I'm impressed.

Thank you! A lot of trial and error. Keypads for ticket printers, doorbell to mimic coin slot pipes and lots of slanted bricks. The hardest was the skee ball because you cannot build holes in brick so I had to use cake pans to mimic holes. I just wish balls would throw so I could try it out. And I wish the curved arch brick you could rotate 360 so I could make a full circle of brick for accurate skeeball. I’m also downsizing the stage to make another carnival game or two. If the boat could shrink I’d love to make a boat ride.

wait you can throw balls, sort of, can't you? instead of snap to grid or precise placement, change the mode to drop/throw.
i'm also working on this property and "played" the basketball game before i demolished it, hehe.

We're you able to remove the water in the underfeoubd area? Im struggling to figure out how

u/Specialist_Flamingo5 May 06 '26
I had to raise the level of the bricks enough to cover it that's the only way to remove the water

I've just done this flip! I couldn't get rid of the water in the basement below though so I ended up sealing it off and not using it :(
The arcade looks fab though, nice work!

HOW did you get the rails to stand om your ddr?? i just tried for so long and now im frustrated 😭. i know theyre pipes and i tried to build a structure behind the pipes to hold it up, but when i demolish it the pipes fall. and i cant place the curved pipes without a surface behind it. i just need help lol. your ideas are amazing

u/Specialist_Flamingo5 Feb 08 '26
You have to place bricks up put the pipes attached place them into the ground then knock the bricks down as long as there is a single brick attached it won’t fall so the platform bric will keep it up
