@AaronVanGeffen I think this calls for a manual preview.

If we're going to customise the preview, what would be preferable? A more zoomed-out overview of the entire island?

I feel like a more zoomed out overview would stick out too much, a manual preview will already stick out a bit due to it being inconsistent with the rest of the official scenario previews.

Perhaps just the area after the entrance with the rows of palm trees would work? It's sort of an entrance area in a way.

I've went ahead and did this for a manual screenshot. (Updated it to have consistent alignment with other screenshots that have this orientation for a little bit of consistency)

As for a whole island screenshot, i don't think a screenshot of the whole island would work. Even at the max zoom out level as it's just too big to fit within the 250x200 canvas.

The new screenshot looks good to me. I haven't tested yet, but do the water effects affect the screenshot properly as well?

They seem to work mostly fine, although i would definitely say look at it yourself as i'm not super familiar with how the water palette works currently. I did crop the image with GIMP which i'm pretty sure preserves all of the palette data that OpenRCT2 uses when using "palette": "keep", "format": "raw". It animates ingame and changes properly when the water palette changes. Although it seems to animate slightly differently from other previews, i'm not sure if it has to do with the exact tick of the water palette animation i took the screenshot on or what.

Yes, it's probably that. Doesn't sound like a problem in my book, but I'll check it out later just to double check if it stands out.
