Welll...... i just noticed viewing canopies make great arches! you could either place one over 2 tiles (yes!) or make 2 veiwing canopies to make thing wird arch thing at is really cool for entrances and such
it woks best with the bulkier viewing canopies that lean.like the blue one.
make the canopies faceing eachother like : --><---

I use this all the time as entrances to exhibits.: :) : They're great for a shaded walkway.  Especially the desert themed viewing canopy because it is pretty much flat.: :) :

But, wouldn't the guests stand under it if an exhibit was in view?

Woah...I did not think it would look good...I did this once, I made a huge split exibit with chimps and gorillas. I had a double path along for quite a ways, leading to an icolated(SC) food court. All along I put the drk blu canopy, to say the least, it turned out really nice...
I'll try to post a pic sooner or later...

It is a good idea! Unfortunantly I have that little glitch that makes my viewing canopies 2X2 instead of 1X2.: :( :

Can people sit on the viewing canopy/arch? I rember reading somewhere that they might, also, can you make stairs in ZT2?

Someone has probably already covered this, but i don't think thats a glitch. It appeared once i downloaded the Dino Danger pack. I wish they would change that, it seems to change the way i used to lay down my zoos.
