The Christmas Spotlight is up!
Congratulations Fatha' Grinch on his latest achievement, becoming only the third multi-Spotlight winner of all time.
Like it says on the front page, I'll be gone for the next 3 days on a basketball tournament. I wanna see some comments when I get back.

Bloody amazing. The theming on those sections was all incredible, they were all so nice. The building in the Egyptian part were so simple but yet so nice. Old Horizons was really nice too and there a big building in the middle of the path there in old horizons and I really like it for some reason, it just stands out. You have taken a lot of time on this one I see because it had some great detail, like the photo point by the loop on the Egyptian flying machine.

Ok, you didn't make the show, however ur show at BGL inspired it tremendously (Which is why it has a similiar layout).

Storm Riders will live again, trust me.

and, MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Yes. It is simply beautiful. One thing I really adore about your parks is how you manage to incorperate the jagged rocks and small trees/bushes/gardens in your themeing. This would be a no-dought #1 for me if you didnt have that traditional lake in the middle and instead filled it up with another section or two, but it is wonderful anyway.

Lol, yes, the Grinch did steal Christmas. Congrats! (and thx to iris for letting me have a spotlight even dispite this thing being entered )

EDIT- isnt he the fourth multi-spot winner? Nevis has got 2 as well.....

You are correct: Nevis, Natelox, Pyro, and now Fatha. My friend has my cd right now so I cant look at the park...

I always have bad comments. So let's have those first.

While they were done beautifully, the different areas were not, and did not contain anything in them that were new at all. Everything was just the same old same old. I can't say if did them first and inspired them all or what, but it feels like every coaster, theme, and name in the park was completely unoriginal.

BUT they were done perfectly. Everything. Beautiful theming, foilage, architecture, coasters....I even liked your custom supports. Excevation (or whatever) was wonderful, though it falls under that same old same old category somewhat. Not the name or theme but the idea of the ride.

So there's some constructive criticism. I loved it, don't get me wrong - if I had an official list like Iris over there, it would definately be in it....I just can't say where, and definately not in the top five.

The park was great, very nicely executed. Amazing work Fatha' but we expect no less from you. The coasters were great and the park had a nice overall feel. Nice work and cant wait to see the RCT2 park.........

This park Is fantastic. I saw it a while ago, when grinch sent it to me out of the blue My mouth just dropped. I can't decided if RRP or Fatha's my fav parkmaker but anyway on to the park.

Thebes is the best themed area in this park. It has an awesome themed adventure Ride, The Flyer is breath taking, I just love how its themed. The theming in this area is just outstanding.

Old Arizona is another awesome western area from grinch. Spider Mountian is I love the log flume on of the best ones I have seen. I really Like how you theme your western sections as they look so different to most peoples but still capture the western style.

Avalon: City of Myths is my fav medival section ever. Paladin is my fav floorless ever and if you didn't guess inspired me to do triton in DEO.

Victoria is another themed area that is outstanding. Demeter is a awesome giga coaster I like the layout. Great theming and architecture.

I just simply love this park every themed area is perfect and I just love the whole tropico series.

NOW ALL I NEED TO SEE IN THIS SERIES IS THE CITY WALK AND TROPICO FIELD if you haven't finished them send them to me anyway

Uhhhh........ Doesn't just about everyone do this? <-------- The answer is yes!

Overall it was a good park, I liked it. Some parts were redundant though like I have seen them before.

Well, of course it's fantastic. Of course it is so detailed it makes me want to look at it for at least an hour.

Well done

I share the exact same views as Micool. What you did you did amazingliy and thats what made the park so special but you didn't do anything amazing. If that makes sense. There was nothing in the park that made me go "Oh my fucking god, how the hell did he do that, thats so awseome I have never seen anything remotely like it before". Which is something I look for in a park and something that really makes a truly magnificent park. It is something I am trying to achieve with The Burning Secret, you can laugh as I am not very well known but you will be suprised, which is what I am aiming to do.

Anyway, it is still undoubtly a truly great spotlight and unlike Micool probably would be in my top 5, but it shouldn't take DDI from the No.1 spot, I wouldn't put DDI on the No.1 spot, but I wouldn't replace it with TH, but its not my list.

it was nice, but, since it took MY NUMBER ONE SPOT (on the list), i just critizie it. I must say, it was really nice, well themed, but the themeing does look like every other park you've ever done, like Tropico Cove, and BGSS. The coasters were okay, and to say that your floorless is the greatest B&M ever (iris said it) was an overstatement. It lacked a good/interesting/special layout, and had nothing of any intrest after the first drop and the first 3 inversions. Park layout could have used work too, a cliche park with a lake in the middle. Coasters (esspcially the B&M) were badly placed. The archiceture was amazing, nearing elrocko's ability (most will say you are better, but not IMO). Anyways, overall, its the best of your parks, but is not the best of all parks. Good job grinch.

I loved it a lot. I definately don't think it deservced number 1 on the list, but some may agree. It just wasn't too original like a Natelox or a Butterfinger Park. I think it should be at least top ten or top 15, at least in my list.

Oh and by the way, Dragon Flight at Schussler's park is the best floorless ever, but Paladin was pretty good.
