Airport City buildings in real life

[Jenn B]

Can you help me locate this building on a map?

It is the same in Buena Vista, California and Urayasu, Chiba, Japan

The Haunted Mansion (attraction)

The Haunted Mansion is a dark ride attraction located at Disneyland, Magic Kingdom, and Tokyo Disneyland. Although differing slightly in each location, the attraction places riders inside a haunted manor infested with "999 happy haunts". At Disneyland Paris, the attraction is called Phantom...

I went with the one in Florida because 1) I could actually pin point it on the map and 2) it's also a good match and 3. We did the tokyo disney resort for the indiana jones one and while I know it's there, I couldn't pinpoint the haunted house in Tokyo Disney

And @Jenn B, having gone down this path I saw a few blue domes in Tokyo Disney

I haven't found a solid match but guessing the Bazaar is based on an attraction - possibly the Agrabah Marketplace in Tokyo Disney

Maybe the carpet workshop is also an attraction

The blue dome is about all it has in common though. I was also checking Epcot, but had no luck. I am thinking that many of the remaining castle-type buildings are fictional or Disney-esque. Do you have a higher res image of Castle Rock?

I will look for one. Since it's a direct purchase building, G! often has a higher res either in the write up for the event or in their facebook page.

@Jenn B the image here is the best I can get

@Chloe11111 This is the closest I have come to Dragon Gate. Putuo Village, Johor, Malasia. Might be better match somewhere, so maybe mark as "closest".

@Chloe11111 Oops. 10 minutes after I posted that, I found the perfect match . Matches the top details, and even the circles under the lower overhangs. The only problem is that the images are listed as "Chinese Temple in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia". I cannot find the exact location in that area after much searching. Maybe you will have more luck, or I will return to it later when all temple gates stop blurring together

185 buildings found
a few more I need to put in like the jazz club and ancient greek temple

I also just found the delivery service. It is the Main Zabrze Post Office in Poland - at least a shortened version of it

yeah that's a match. Look no more

The details are fabulous - the steps at the front door, the wooden doors at both ends, the two tiny windows in the middle dormer along with the dormer design, the roof line and of course the perfect match for the design on the peaks.

I notice a few creative additions though - the balcony on the right side of the building to match the one on the left side and the basement arch windows are a nice touch.

Failing anything else, I think we could go with this one for the seafood restaurant - it's an octopus restaurant in Japan

The question is (and I can't see the detail in the game one), is the octopus holding a ball representing takoyaki?

Although this appears to be pretty common. This is another one and given the canopy below, it might be better. I just have to figure out where it is

Yeah, I'm not big on the "sort of" matches. The whole point of this is Airport City Buildings that are Real - or at least based on real pop culture like the Dark Tower and Asylum

So the mechanical plant has some pretty distinctive features. Betting we can find this - interesting front façade and roof along with the hexagonal smoke stack.
