Hey guys!
So, I saw some threads about Freeze Resort and Demon's Resort, an ice and lava version of Holiday Resort, found here:
http://www.minecraftsurvivalgames.com/threads/demons-resort.56236/
http://www.minecraftsurvivalgames.com/threads/freeze-resort.56266/
And thought to myself "Hey, has anyone actually done a revamp of it? Hmm."
So I asked @Simey, the creator of Holiday Resort, if I could do one. (http://screenshot.co/#!/4cecc9228b), and I got permission to do it.
Here's a series of pictures that I took of progress so far: http://imgur.com/a/EWFI6
A list of 50 changes that I've made:
1. Added more chests
2. Deleted or moved some chests
3. Changed Red Wool in the Lighthouse to Light Blue Wool
4. Changed Iron blocks atop Lighthouse to Gold
5. Removed Tall Grass from Cornucopia
6. Built a Giant Tree on an Island

15.Added more flair than necessary to the roller coaster
16.Girly-fied the Speedboat
17.Fixed some glitched spots underwater
18.Darkened wool on the Ferris Wheel
19.“Is mayonnaise an instrument?” – Patrick Star
20.Built a bridge across a canal
21.Created Easy_Soup’s Basement
22.Added some fun piston features
23.Altered color of parasailing boat and parasail.

25.Created Secret Base(s)*
26.Created some traps underwater
27.Added firework station above Cornucopia
28.Added a giant tunnel running north-south underneath Cornucopia.
29.Changed the “Casino” sign to “Mall”
30.Removed Casino features
31.Added stores inside the Mall.
32.Made Cafeteria/Lounge (Top floor of the Mall)
33.Removed Sail Boat due to it being out of theme

41.Changed the color of one of the houses, but left some parts the same
42.Created new lighthouse
43.Added Holiday Island with a Holiday Tree*
44.Removed the parasailing boat
45.Added secret onto a plane*
46.Added secret underground*
47.Created some interesting invisible ladder obstacles, traps, or used them in interesting ways
48.Started building a party boat, removed it, put it back, removed it again, asked my older sister for help with the design, showed her the speedboat, then grumbled under my breath as she walked away, cackling “I’ve had enough of my fill of Minecraft back when I built that city that I never finished!”
49.Changed beach area a little bit
50.Added Christmas (Spruce) Tree in the forest surrounding Cornucopia
Note: An asterisk (*) indicates that this should definitely be checked, and possibly removed, if ever this Revamp is used in any official way. Generally due to being too over-powered or comedic for regular use.
I plan to make at least 100 changes, but my sister won't help me think of ideas. So, I've come to you, the MCSG Community!
- What would you like to see in a revamped Holiday Resort?
- Want some sort of Easter Egg? (I think that means something like @Easy_Soup's basement, @Turnip's veggie garden, etc.)
- What should I remove, either from the original Holiday Resort or from the changes that I made? (View Changelog and/or pictures)
- Anything else

Please take note that Simey did approve of this revamp, but he did not see what changes I made yet (Unless he looks at this thread before you read it), nor did he approve of them (Unless he directly states so). He simply gave me the OK to revamp it.

Addressing some possible questions:
- Yes, I am open to changing, removing, adding, or otherwise altering anything. Within reason, of course.
- The only mod(s) I used during the process of building, which was in a Singleplayer file, was SinglePlayerCommands (Mainly for WorldEdit), Optifine (For zooming in on certain areas) and Better Sprint Mod. Yes, I used BSM. Take note that this was in a Single Player World, so it was just so I could fly faster.
- If you give me an idea for an Easter Egg, I can perhaps implement it somehow. There's currently a booth "For Rent" in the Mall that I don't know what to do with yet.
- No, there is no guarantee that this Revamp will be used in any Survival Games match. If I provide a download link to this Revamped version, then anyone is free to download and use it, as long as they give Simey credit for making Holiday Resort.
- Yes, I downloaded Simey's Holiday Resort in order to work on it. Credit for the map goes to him and anyone who may have helped him.
- Yes, I intend to make more structures. (Any ideas?)
- I am willing to stop work on the Revamp if Simey, or someone else who has the authority to do so, asks me to stop. It'd be absurd and pointless if I didn't.
- No, I'm not a professional builder. Yes, I know I suck. (hehe)
- If you want more screenshots, just let me know. (Perhaps indicate what you want screenshot(s) of?)
Any more questions or comments, just let me know!

Edit: Darnit, spoilers don't work. Am I doing them wrong? o_O
Second Edit: I would put pictures in the post itself, but that would take up a lot of space. I don't really want to spam your screens ;)
Third Edit: (Yeah, Imma keep doing this.) I intend to make more bridges leading out from the Cornucopia. As it is, the water on 3 sides thing can get a bit annoying.

Hmmm, looks nice, but I really see no major changes, I like the bridge by the beach area, but besides that it looks like you just changed the materials of some things, although I could be wrong, so if you have a download could you give me the link?

The more changes you add, the more original and better. c:
I like my easter eggs though :p and some of the changes look really nice

Not bad, I see a few improvements, and a few things that didn't look so good. For example, the rollercoaster is now way too colorful.

I think instead of doing a lot of minor changes, you should do less major changes that can improve the map, for looks, and for PvP.

Eh, I don't think the changes are bad, but... Not the best...

Yeah, the rollercoaster should probably be reverted. Will do.
I'm just about done with minor changes, and am looking to do more major changes. I had a bunch of ideas when I first started out, but my brain is dead right now. I need ideas >.<
It kinda looks a downgrade from holiday
How so? I'm willing to change it.

**Constructive Criticism always appreciated**
