Lift-Off
I loved looking at this park. I was just completely blown away by the time everything must have taken. The attention to detail is literally awesome. I enjoyed it very much, and although my real life coaster knowledge is way below yours and indeed most on this site, I thoroughly enjoyed all the coasters for what they were.
Oh, I saw this bug:
How did you get it?
On to the comments...
RaPiPo:
Glad you liked it.
As for my other stuff, I've done a decent amount of things. If you want the accolades, I have a road rally winner, vacation park runner up, rct olympics gold, and a runner up here. Of course, there's a few other things besides that. You can check them out whenever I get those to Kumba for my parkmaker page.
tyandor:
Thanks. For the mini coaster track, I decided to start it with the bunny hills from looking at the S:ROS at Six Flags America and Darien Lake. They have it through much more of their track, of course, but this is the least physical park of the circuit in my opinion. Really, Intamin will use bi whenever the ride is close to the ground. Bi rail needs more supports, but supports are generally cheaper if they're kept short like these are. It's a trade off really as to if you want the more supports or the stronger track. Cost-wise, I'm pretty sure this would've been the better option for this coaster. Although you're right in that I could've started later. You could argue starting in a lot of places.
The shoot the chutes support I can agree with. I was trying to do a structural system I had seen for a couple, but it came out all wrong and looks hugely flimsy like you said. I should've redone that...
For the entrance being small, it is. But I didn't want a grand entrance. This is still a park just trying to start out its growth and I didn't think they would have anything too huge just yet. That, and I sorta ran out of room, haha. I thought the shooting dark ride could stand alone as the major dark ride, although I suppose it could've done with something better. I'm just not a fan of theming a whole story into a couple squares, so I shyed away from it.
As for the old style park... it kinda went by the wayside. I made it 4 years to 1914, but that's all I got. I saved my notes with the additions I planned, so one day it may come back up, but right now it's not likely unfortunately.
posix:
Please, don't be sorry... this is what I like to hear.
The landscaping is a bit on the bland side, but I always feel like I overdo it when I try and add a ton of trees and bushes. That's my biggest weakness, imo.
The ride in the suspended is a Huss Topple Tower. It should've been a little taller, but I had hacked it already and didn't want to go back. The reason for some of the rides feeling stacked is that when parks run out of room, they start to put more things intermingled together like the Topple Tower there. Some of the themes were meant to feel out of place as well. Avalanche is the biggest one, I think. It's supposed to feel almost like it was just plopped there. This is kind of an allusion to the stuff Six Flags seem to have done recently with the Deja Vu clones and the Tony Hawk spinners. A theme, but an out of place one.
See my comments to Ty about the entrance. Really, it came down to space. If I had the space, you would've seen a parking lot. Like I had said, I like the entry as it is, but maybe with more room I would've gone bigger.
Thanks for the feedback.
ACE:
Thanks.
Glad you like Fusion. I was kind of surprised seeing it compared to Solaris since I didn't really remember that at all. I went back and re-downloaded it today and I can see the turnaround, but that's maybe all. Still, I can take that comparison as a compliment.
I was waiting for someone to bring that up about the SLC. You're exactly right. Initially, I was going to do a clone of Shenlin/Kumali, but I didn't have that square of room. I didn't want a bog standard SLC, so then I was gonna try for the Extended SLC versions (only 2 of which exist, both in the Far East). That didn't work either, so I went with the a custom layout. It's a bit off, I can agree.
Thanks for the comments.
Turtle:
Thanks very much. I can say that a lot of times I just wish I built faster... some of that stuff seems to go so slow, but I wanted all those details in there. I'm glad you can enjoy the coasters. One of my favorite things to do is study real life coasters and try my own versions in RCT, so I'm glad they came out alright.
GeRide:
I don't expect everyone to like this style. It's hard to when you build so far to one side stylistically. I build realistically like this because I enjoy visiting real parks. Since I can't build my own in real life, I do the next best thing. It's just me seeing how I might go about doing a real park.
Camcorder22:
Glad you like the details. The full tile paths are really something I've grown to love. At first they seemed to be too much, but now I can't go back to the regular ones. That actually really bothered me when I picked up some old designs to finish after this park. For some reason, the full tile seems much cleaner for me.
Ling:
Thanks very much!
Lucas:
There's 2 of them on that wall. I believe it's just a variation of the normal black hole error, something I don't know how to fix. I think I probably got it sinking with the SOB trainer.
Postit:
Thanks!

Once again, thanks for the comments. I really appreciate them!
I can't load the park. I loaded first the "open first" file, but I get an error message saying a file called "JAGIGLT....." is missing. Same thing with the "no roofs" file.
Anyone an idea what's wrong and how to fix it?
Thanks
He included that file in the zip file. Just put it in the objdata folder
why didn't you say you had those bugs....I think I could have fix them for you to.
great park, will comment on it later (after I commented on Kumba's solo and some prelims

Congratulations on the Parkmaker spot, you definitely deserved it.
I really hope to see a new release from you in the future.

I just based this on looking quickly at the last 4-5 solos, none of them are realistic settings for a themepark, despite at least 2 (this and aeros) off the top of my head, being attempts at realism.
