I noted vincent’s comment that the real-world park is different from the in-game one. Actually, the shape of the bowls and the park’s boundaries are very accurate… this is the in-game map of Marseille. Feel free to compare it to the GoogleMap view.

Haha, I score again. Marseille was one of my fave levels in THPS2, I remember that with the newly-created manual you could rack up some huge combos in the game, especially if you grind the streetlamps.

As for those Madrid parks, I'm pretty sure the GSS people might take 'em, skateparks look cool whether or not they were in a game.

been there in 200 on a skatetour, one of the best concrete parks i’ve ever ridden!!! I’ve located some Madrid skateparks also, but they never appeared on THPS so i guess no one would be interested on them.. btw, if you ever go to skate there, watch your wallet and better leave the backpack in the car, and park the car far from the park..

There used to be a big factory (?) for cruise ships somewhere in Norway, if I’m not mistaken. Anyone?

-The grey thing to the west is only a building for the sea rescuers.

-There’s no ship building facility in Marseille, only repairing and maintenance.

The real skatepark there is quite different from THPS’ one, still it is realy cool

A quick count finds 19 cruise ships of various sizes in the water, 2 in dry dock (one of which looks like it is being built) (Do they build them there?) and a few very nice yachts.

If you go up the coastline to the North, you can find a bunch of cruise ships like these. Placemark: Google Maps / Google Earth

Sir, can you back your cruise ship up, I need to get out.
