I need an opinion =) i'm not sure if i should keep this idea of improvised stairs or rather do the regular ones (i've tried to do something else for the sake of variety) i'm not sure if it looks enough stair-alike xD got inspiration from one real zoo and did my best to incorporate it into ZT2.. But ah well there are some limits still.
It should look like ground at differend heights that uses simple logs as a border.

I actually really like that. It shows how real you want your zoo to look with erosion control.

I would make the logs a little skinnier though.

There is a few skinny logs out there that you could use. I know of a dead alpine tree but I don't know where it is. There is also a few in Cats log pack.

It looks fine the way it is Ursek, and I've seen similar before. I love it :) You can see the elevation clearly thanks to the logs.

Thanks Kohana - i think that's the reason why it's "easier" to make it visible better due to the bigger logs with smaller it would be hard to control elevation and make it so obvious.

BBBurns i think i know what Alpine log you mean - but if it's the one i think the problem is that it's not the same thicknes all the way from bottom to top, i did used Cat's poles for fence if you mean this pack =D

Ok, The only reason why I would suggest making it smaller is when I was at Boy Scout Camp they had those on all the trails and I HATED them. They were so hard to go up.

Oh yeah i can understand that - if there's too many they can be annoying indeed.

I'd say Ornithomimids, they are probably the safest bet after small Ornithopods.

I don't know... they look pretty menacing to me :P (if i almost got attacked by a curassow in a walkthrough exhibit i don't want to think what an ornithomimosaur will be able to do to guests xD )
