In St. Augustine there used to be a notorious bar called The Giggling Gator. Everyone had a story about it, the people who went there, and "activities" that went down in that place. Its no longer there and it just created more stories about why its gone

[@BrockSamson-i1i]

The Glasssboat is a floating fine dining restaurant in Bristol, UK. It has been a feature of the harborside for decades and is quite unique. Locals like it for special occasions and tourists enjoy it's perspective of the river. I say float the barge into the City after the expo and rebrand it

The isometric shot of the city took my breath away, i love those split seconds where you can’t tell if it’s real life or not

[@princeerik7779]

Honestly a ferry's Wheel right near the waterfront would raise up your attraction rate and could potentially save your expo

[@henrylike9211]

Greta idea

[@petterv6604]

Not very expo

[@MrCrockaG]

@@petterv6604 How? The first ever ferris wheel was literally created for the 1893 Chicago World Fair, and ferris wheels have been included at multiple expos since (most notably Japan 1985, which is the exact era he's going for). Ferris wheels are literally called "expo wheels" for a reason.

[@princeerik7779]

[@MrCrockaG]

@@princeerik7779 Agreed mate I think its a good idea!

[@jimmynuetronrblx8628]

I think the hotel would probably become a bit of a business hotel after the expo when the airport gets built, it is close to that. Travelers would stay there and then take the transit connections for the expo to the city

[@GoatMilkCookie]

perhaps also for cons n such? like geeks n stuff

[@Hackerman747]

Expo waterfront idea: in 1964 there was an expo in Lausanne, Switzerland, where you could board an u-boat which also had a nice waterfront. I know thats not really the right time but maybe check out a few pictures of it, at least for inspiration

[@blujitsu2180]

Awesome use of that hotel… I think the Gator Bar might still be my favorite build today, though.

[@patrickcraft2375]

Great series that I’m hooked on! I think on the water front of the world expo you should build an aquarium/sunset city sea life history, and maybe features a Lighthouse that use to sit in the bay. Great series!

[@Will-le4lm]

I think It would be cool to add the Miami Marine Stadium to the shoreline! Its an open air stadium in miami that was mainly used to watch boat races in the 70s.

[@Swanronson009]

You could add a hotel chain throughout the city for another company,the company could be having financial troubles and in a last ditch effort to save the company, they work out a deal with a current business. Or, they could start doing some shady things to keep them running. Love the series so far!!

[@FoolishPedro]

Hello TwoDollars. I have been a huge fan of your videos for years. Your attention to detail and story telling with your cities have given me hours and hours of entertainment. Also love your sense of humour. You have inspired me to start my own Cities Skylines city series on KZbin. I have Been wanting to do it for years, and I finally have the confidence to do it, partly because of seeing your enthusiasm for your builds, and love of this game. I can now really appreciate how much time an effort goes into making videos like this one now, I have done it myself! keep up the amazing work!

[@twodollarstwenty]

So great to hear! Thank you for the kind words and I’m stoked to have influenced you to start a channel. If you want any advice or help please let me know

[@FoolishPedro]

@@twodollarstwenty Thank you. Some advice about voice over would be great, as that is what I struggled with. Do you write a script or just wing it? When it comes to editing are you sorting out the visuals then adding a vo or vice versa?

[@rickseymour911]

Such a cool build. I absolutely love the Gator Bar!

[@Hurkas]

Cool video! If those islands are based on the Key West islands, you should build a litle airport with dirt/grass runway for the locals. You can see a few of these type of airports there. Or just a local heliport.

[@lesterfrancis8284]

My friend, the experimental subway (metro) train car set that is on display in one of the pavilions at the Sunset City World Fair is actually real. The State-of-the-Art Car, or SOAC for short, was a heavy rail mass transit vehicle built by the St. Louis Car Company in 1972 as a demonstrator vehicle for the US Urban Mass Transportation Administration, the predecessor of the Federal Transit Administration. Between May 1974 and January 1977, the single married-pair rail car operated in intermittent revenue service in several cities in the United States, included in New York City. As a matter of fact, its design became the catalyst for the R44, R46 and later the R68 rail cars of the New York City Subway (with a few modifications). Since 1989, the SOAC car set has been on display at the Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport, Maine.

[@schmitty8225]

Virginia Key in Miami has an old cigarette boat racing stadium. Something like that would fit perfectly, especially with it being 80's themed and all the coke running going on at that time.

[@layzabullit]

as someone who used to live in the hampton roads area, this series scratches a weird itch for a marshy coastal mildly touristy city i didn’t know i had.

[@danonck]

I absolutely love this series! The Expo build really is something else. And that biker gang hangout was chef's kiss!

[@arnekamphuis31]

The main complaint ive been hearing is the range on the hotels for their needs is VERY short .. so you need to jampack everything close together to make them efficient. hopefully devs change it cuz it makes it hard to make things look good and realistic.

[@goldenstatepolitics]

Maybe a boat tour? Example like the Queen Mary or USS Iowa would be cool!

[@TotoDG]

[@micha3734]

Maybe instead of building a normal fire station, you could build a Tiller fire truck showcase! A single garage as a tourist atraction, and inside would be that amazing truck! When the call will come in, he can respond!

[@warning641]

Build an amusement park near the hotel and expo. It would be a great addition to the expo, and it would be a good reason to keep such a massive and extravagant hotel after the expo ends.

[@s-upper]

one of the major reasons why business is going on on the island in Gator Bar, could be because its pretty easy to get around customs from this island and transport...... anything on small yachts or old fishing boats. this is also could be an addition for that island, a little wooden pier with an old fishing boat and of course more bikers hanging around on the pier. and some... not suspicious wooden crates

[@marianodn]

I love the 25 minutes episode, I like when we have 2 zones developed in the same Episode. Keep doing like that!

[@Ghiaman1334]

Love the lore and the build! Seeing as the gang is operating out of Gator Bar, how about something about gators? Introducing: Los Caimanes en Llamas! (The Caimans/Alligators on Fire)

[@HouDeani]

Water Feature Idea: For the Expo, make a pier with a giant Ferris wheel and small carnival attractions. Kind of like Santa Monica Pier in California or the Navy Pier in Chicago.

[@HouDeani]

Could even name it Dania Pier after the historical hotspot Dania Beach Pier of Miami in the 1980's

[@Mr.Liberty1776]

You should put Neon lights on the Skyscrapers and the hotel to make it look very eighties.

@@twodollarstwenty I think the Metro Should start at the Airport, than run elevated near the Cruise ship Terminal to the EXPO, at an elevated station, go through to an Underground Station in the Downtown, then Re-emerge Elevated and cross the Highway into the Suburbs, where it would run at grade.

[@bailey_theukulele1202]

Maybe after the expo the king buns barge just floats away and can be seen left wrecked somewhere in the marshland all dirty. And maybe around it is a small swamp village like in rdr2

[@georgeowen2553]

In Hong Kong there was an iconic floating restaurant called Jumbo. The owners decided to 'move' it via the ocean during a storm where it unsurprisingly sank (being a restaurant and not an ocean-going ship). It would be cool if the King Buns Barge was to mysteriously end up aground in the swampground and for someone to collect the insurance money.

[@CubeAtlantic]

This hotel looks unique & relaxin' it kind of has potential in the expo & everything like that :)

[@lukemendel8197]

One of those businesses must be the floundering "Seminole Locomotive Works". Their shady business deals have attracted a majority of the crime to the expo, where they are exhibiting the SCS4000P, a rejected subway design for the Sunset City Subway. They are EXTREMELY bitter about their failure to get a customer out of the city government, so a railway related crime wave might be on the horizon.

[@edwardmiessner6502]

Sunset City Subway? There's a reason it has to be elevated like the Metrorail in Miami: porous bedrock which would cause the tunnels to leak.

[@lukemendel8197]

Vancouver Science World would be a great fit! But instead a sphere, maybe a Cube? Or Tetrahedron?

[@AlexeiLjanej]

Make a german-austrian-suiss style district called “Deutschestown” pronounced: Doychuhstown This small tourist area would be the home of the city’s beer culture and industry, hosting an annual Oktoberfest and such, it would also be great to have a traditional Lutheran church as the centerpiece of the district, located in the market square, which would host german cafe’s, souvenirs and, of course, bars. This district would be only about 2-3 blocks in size, but would hopefully host alot of the german culture that exists in IRL miami-key west

[@AlexeiLjanej]

Another idea that I’ve had is called Havannatown, or alternatively called in Spanish, “Ciudad Nueva Habana”, meaning New Havana Town. This district would be similar to Deutschestown , except being based on Hispanic and Latino culture, especially from Habana Cuba, in which a lot of immigrants inside sunset city would be from.

[@edwardmiessner6502]

11:01 "The monorail's doing an alright job but the bus network could be much better." When I went to college (university) in Miami the local paper presented an article called "Metrobus is mean to us" in its Sunday newsmagazine. So your bus network is not unrealistic for South Florida!

[@OddlySpecificGaming]

The boat hotel was MADE for sunset city, I’ve not seen it look good until this

[@matthewgerntholtz]

Name Idea: King Palms (King Bun bought it to make up for the failure of the King Bun Boat). Also why not create a pier with an amusement park? It is a good way to generate more cash and allows for the expo to still generate cash after it is finished.

a floating barge like that should be a no brainer. change the inside to a better class of venue. small concerts, parties, weddings. stuff like that. a unique setting that people will remember.

I'll tell you right now, the rental cabins make the most money when the rent is set to the lowest. It fills up the last room, and there are so few guests that stay that the profit from filling the extra room more than makes up for the reduced profit per guest.

I don't really know, but maybe for Oceania you can put the Adelaide F1 street circuit. Maybe as a street circuit, or as a purpose built racetrack, or do the Melbourne Albert Park Street Circuit, which might be easier to implement as it is based around a park (Albert Park) around the Albert Park Lake. I don't really know, but having some Aussie F1 history would be pretty cool (in my eyes at least)
