    wow... an amazing park. the scenery is beautiful and the themed areas (especially the oriental part) look very nice. all attractions look ten times better because the architecture is stunning. this was quite a pleasure to look through! :lol:

    Having deleted machchunk's post, i'd just like to point out that anyone bumping spotlight topics is perfectly welcome to do so - the more attention these parks get the better.

    Said something about "fucking noobs..."
    Kinda ironic. Anyway, back to comments about the park.

    Its amazing how there hasn't been an rct2 park released since this that compares with it. That's not to say that one that was released prior doesn't, however.

    I think he was talking about RoB, but if not id be pretty sure he was talking about Fantastic Wonders by Tim Cross.

    lol
    I haven't even been around [here] that long, and it seems weird to me...

    This is one of the parks that got me into parkmaking versus just playing scenarios and building coasters in the coaster editor.

    Thanks guys! Wait until you see my next one! :SA:

    And what would that be.

    Anyways, this park is fucking awesome, and a well-deserved Spotlight. wtFF cares if I do a multi-year bump this time around, this park is just so good, in 5 years has any park really been better? I know I say PaP but nobody agrees with me, anyways, this is #2 on my list and congrats SA and I can't wait for your next park, unless you already did release it.

    RoB FTW!!!!!!!! I love the Serpent God lift over the path, and the other ride that does it too. I love the river rapids esp. the name "Eden" and I fucking adore the "The Flood" ride, that is just so well-designed with the 2-drops-or-1? theme, the rest of Lemuria is great, I love the concept of Escape from Lemuria and wish that we could watch the movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plus the readme that came with it was a motherfucking website!!111

    9.97/10

    good that you actually bumped for a reason.

    on another note, i believe he had a park in progress when he left, which would be what he was referring to.

    and i must agree, minus the #2. this is in every way better than Premier. =P

    Eversio Lumeria remains the best ride ever built, btw, sa. consider yourself proud.

    I believe this park was amazing upon debuting... though I now feel, it's still very good, but the most overrated park of all time.

    btw, Fantastic Wonders has been ripped off much more. but no need to talk about that.

    RIVERS OF BABYLON... The best so far... also the most overrated.

    now off to get this one voted....

    probably the only 100% i'll give in at least a few years :p
  • Coasterbill%s's Photo

    Every time I look at this park I try to "get" it and while FK sold me on it a little bit I guess it's just so dated at this point that I just can't wrap my head around it.

     

    It's not that the park isn't good... it is. And even though I was playing the game back when this was released I wasn't active enough in the community to appreciate how groundbreaking it was.

     

    ... Still love that crumbling arch though.

    The park is classic SA, only modernized in RCT2. The themed area approach is a given, and just like some of his other legendary parks (the Legends series and Clockwork Dreams spring to mind), it uses the four-themed area formula to perfection. The first themed area is the Tibet-inspired Lhasa. A themed area based on Buddhist culture and principles, it features a terrific atmosphere, some completely exclusive ToonTowner custom theming, and flawless execution. It is here you'll find "Lotus", a B&M Flying Coaster themed to hang-gliding in the Himalayas, created in a dual-effort by SA and Joe Holland, each creating one half of the ride. The next area of the park is fittingly, Babylon, the entrance area of the park. This area of the park was completely re-modeled after SA pre-released this park long ago, so those that downloaded that version have nothing to worry about. "The 7th Wonder" coaster is a Drachen Fire clone, a SA trademark, and "Eden" is a truly beautiful rapids ride that takes up almost the entire center of the park. Next up is possibly the greatest themed area of all time (and definitely one of the largest), Lemuria, an interpretation of sorts on Atlantis. In actuality, it's the sister island of Atlantis, and although the themes are somewhat similar, there are some very obvious differences as well. My favorite ride in the park, "Eversio Lemuria", the newest in the line of classic SA Beemers (joining the two Leviathan coasters and Phoenix) is featured here, and is most probably the single best RCT2 ride created to date. This area is far from a one trick pony though, as you'll also find the beautiful "Flood" log flume, themed to the great flood of Biblical times. Not to mention, the best architecture and theming in the entire park is here. Finally, the Tulum area of the park, of Mexican inspiration, which features three coasters. First off, "Kuxan Suum" (or 'Road to the Sky' in english), a classy wooden coaster. There's also "Kukulkan-The Serpant God", a marvelous suspended coaster and even a ride for the kids, "Tecote", a Family Coaster.
