    It's been a while since our last spotlight, and we're going back to Loopy Landscapes style with this one. One of the toughest choices of all time for the spotlight this round, roomraider's Arnos Springs Resort prevailed, earning him his second spotligh. What started as a simple revamp of his legendary "Arnos Grove" amusement park, turned into an all-out project, an in the end, roomraider leaves his mark on yet another classical fantasy park here at New Element.

    Told You roomie it might win.

    Arnos Springs:

    Hurricane Beach
    I like Hurricane Beach it had that nice feel to it of a jazzy seaside town. The colours of the area were great and the layout seems nice and cosy. Hurricane Beach Twister is a very nice compact coaster that sits lovely on the edge of the beach area.

    Arnos Creek
    I think this area has to be my favourite. The area is done so nicely and has some cool rides here. First we have the La Viper that sits lovely at the back of the area but my fav part about the area is the Mack water coaster and mine train that interact with each other on the mountain and then you have the rapids ride next to it.

    The Wilderness
    Very nice look and atmosphere in this area it captures the forest look well. Grizzly Run is a cool Woodie and I love the turn around by the water and Outlaws escape that runs right beside it down the water looks good also. Mountain Biking Xtreme looks good as well.

    The Lost City
    I like this area as well its like and over grown lost city and looks good. The invert reminds me of nemesis in a way which is a good thing. I just noticed you got quite a few rides in this area as well :).

    The Jungle
    A very small area but it looks good so it doesn't matter I like the woodie with its twists and turns.

    Agrabar
    When you first showed me the park this was the only area I wasn't to sure on but taking a second look at it now its growing on me I don't love it as much as the other areas but It might get there. Lone Warrior is still beautiful and better. and the new coaster Tormenta de Fuego is insane. I the speed is awesome and the underwater tunnel bit is a nice feature.

    Mt Fuji Hotel
    I love mantis work and this hotel is amazing as well great work mantis. It has a beautiful colour scheme. Its just awesome I love all your work.

    Lost Springs Hotel
    This hotel looks very nice and calm looking. great colour scheme and I also like how it travels down the hill side.

    Ice Springs Spa
    Looks great and has that nice feel of a winter town. The sea monster attacking the boat is cool.

    Flora Emporium Water Park
    Nice work by WME. Pick a Slide Elavator was a cool idea. Kind of a smallish area but still looks awesome I get a kind of sence of Harakirii but then again I know WME likes his style.

    Lost World (2 pens)
    Both pens are awesome its good to see Iron Eagle come back as raptor as that was my fav coaster in Arnos Grove. The tilt coaster was a nice idea.

    The Labs
    Great addition to the park. I really like this area for some reason it looks good and it mixs that jungle theme with the techincal theme in a way and thats why I think I like it.

    To roomie Thanks for choosing me to build a hotel. It was great for you to say build what ever you want and how big you want. I had a fun time building it.

    Awesome park I loved it :) congrats roomie on your second spotlight.

    Wow. I was 100% sure it was GOD...since you added it to your list iris.

    This. however, is certainly deserving.

    I thought the coaster layouts really shined. The tilt coaster was a good idea...and the crazy rocket one was great. I also loved Lone Warrior, and the woodie on the 2nd map. Ditto with hte invert.

    Mountain Biking and the LuTse's soaker ride were quite creative. Good jumps on that.

    More coasters, roomie :-).

    The architecture was a bit too "brown" for me, if that makes sense. Wood brown, to be precise.

  • Scarface%s's Photo
    Tiberius area was defintely the best along with the mountain were the mack water ride was.

    Lone warrior was good and temple del fuego was great.
    Rattlesnake is one of my fave woodies now.
    Mountain biking was creative.

    The hotels were absolutely amazing also..

    Overall 8/10 Because of the rides....

    I took one look and though, wow, this sucks...then I left my house to do something, then I came back and thought that it had to be a new element spotlight for something. So, I looked again, and I saw all the intracacy (sp?) and all the amazing details and I must say, excellent job, most excellent job. The architecture was not my favorite, some of the rides weren't my favorite (to tell you the truth I probably didn't see 80 of the rides in the park, lol) and it was single path, not my forte happiness of pathing, but I looked into depth and I saw a park that in my mind I thought I never will have the ability to do that messy almost newbie park and make it look stunningly intricate and for a moment I thought you were Mala, congradulations on a great, truly great, spotlight!

    I'm not much of a fan of single-wide pathed parks, but I have to admire the fact that you were able to use single-wide paths and still have a good looking park.

    Arnos Springs:
    One huge eyesore was Lone Warrior. The custom supports were way to bulky IMO, and the layout really could've used some work. The hacks incorporated into Tormenta de Fuego were great, but once again the layout could've used some work. My favorite area was undoubtedly The Lost City. The architecture was great, the coaster was great, and everything fit together wonderfully, which was unfortunatelly unlike the other areas.

    Arnos Springs Resort:
    Arnos Springs wasn't really that impressive to me, but the resort map was absolutely gorgeous. Everything was executed perfectly, and the Mt. Fuji Hotel was the only oriental themed area I've ever seen that didn't look like monkey droppings. I'm not really sure why you put a turn right after the drop on Prehistoric Escape, but the hack itself was executed perfectly, A+. Pick a Slide was another great idea, but I'm not sure how pleasant the result of going on "Brunfelsia" would be. :p

    Overall, Arnos Springs was somewhat of a dissapointment, but it's resort map was stunning. Wonderfull job.

    Pick a Slide was another great idea

    I forgot to mention that. That was breathtakingly done, excellent work.

    Finally. I've been anticipating this park for a while. It's good to see someone make a single-path park, and make it look good so congrats to Roomie. The park was nice, my favorite things being the mine train and the river ride. They just seemed to interact perfectly with each other. There was just something wrong with that floating hill in Tormenta de Fuego, but the rest of the ride was amazing, especialy that nifty underwater tunnel. Everything was peachy. The resort map was what I was really excited about. The dino park was done quite well, and the first RCT tilting rollercoaster turned out well. The resorts were the real highlight of this park in my opinion. The Jurrasic Point Hotel being my favorite. It had a bit of Pyro-ness that is always good. Overall it was a well done reamke and worthy of Spotlight.

    Congrats,

    Well Done Roomie! You've beaten out some of the hardest competition there's been for ANY spotlight, and for that you should get all the plaudits you deserve.

    I must say I prefer some areas of the main map to others, but your talent for landscaping can't be ignored....I mean, that mountain that rises behind Warrior is just incredible. I also LOVE Rattlesnake. Bloody hell what a great coaster.

    Great job on the rest of the Resort too - I think that your hotel is fabulous, as is the Labs section (even though I expected to see more dinosaurs breaking out of the time machine...)

    Well Done to everyone else involved in the Resort too - X's hotel is, I agree, a masterpiece in RCT. When I first saw it I thought Ed had made it. The fact that it's by X is just mind-boggling. He's definitely left the CDS days faaaaaar behind him :D Twisted's work is cool too, and WME is always the creative genius, even if that Grape slide looks a little....fatal =P Great Nessy too. Go Nessy! I can't believe I drowned :(

    Thanks HPG for the comment on my hotel :) I like trying out new themes, so it was fun to make.

    Go Roomie! I just feel sorry for the runner-up.....maybe i'll do him a walkthrough to make up for it! :)
  • natelox%s's Photo
    it was okay, i guess. I wasn't really feeling the 'messy' style. I haven't looked at it for too long though, so i'll take more time later, give it a second chance. Jurrasic Park Hotel Best in RCT? i think thats a bit overboard, although it is quite good.
  • REspawn%s's Photo
    WOW!

    what a brilliant job. Map 1 was a-mazing with a capital P.

    Map 2's hotels were brilliant! I loved x's one and also mantis' one.

    It's all good baby.

    but i was one of the testers you left out. 8@
  • Evil WME%s's Photo
    1st of all thx to everyone that liked my area. in my opinion it sticks out so much it makes it look ugly =P. Other than that, x-sectors hotel is amazing. Mantis hotel is pretty good too. Then we come out to the messy park roomie brought forward. There are some marks of brilliance, but then there are some marks that set the park down to what looks like a noobs park to me. Those wooden walls for landscaping really look ugly, the rocks look terribly random, some buildings are multicolored, and Tormenta de Fuego looks like it was made to be hacked, which i personally detest (i´m probly one of the only in that department tho.) Things i do like were Tiberius. the theming around that has some really nice details. The boat slide things. The "third" hotel. The NeViS style section is funny. Maybe it´s coz of my personal dislike of roomies style, but this wasn´t spotlight material imho. Still congrats on winning spot! everyone else seems to love it :)
  • posix%s's Photo
    Well, the park couldn't do much for me since it was too far from my ideals.
    Still, the coasters, and especially Tiberius, were all very impressive. I liked certain bits of theming too but it looked all too much thrown together. Some buildings seemed to have no idea in them either.
    I think the resort map was alot better. x-sector's hotel was easily the best of it's kind and gave me the jawdrop-effect. I liked mantis' one too in a way but I saw x' first so it didn't have much chance.
    I loved how the park was "alive". Everywhere was something in movement.
    What kills it for me are the single wide paths. I just don't manage to like them. In some places you couldn't even see the paths as the buildings hided them.
  • Roomie%s's Photo
    hey guys
    Thanks for all the comments :)
    Hee hee i realise my style is like marmite. You either love it or hate it ussaly lol.
    but i'm glad that most people can find something they like. Tiberius only just made it into the park actually. there was a woodie there first but it was moved to become rattlesnake.

    Sorry Supreame Being... i knew there was someone :( it was so long ago lol. Well if it helps u can test PoE lol

    Unfortunatly i guess i'll always be a single wide maker (Except the up and coming Project Empire) as i love to test run my parks. i like the fun of being able to what guests think and whats the most popular ride. lol. a little credit to Blitz Sama to for the inspiration behind the time machine :p

    Thanks again

    PS: Prince i wouln't be able to use something u said in my sig would i???
  • Twisted%s's Photo
    Well Done!

    Your style of parkmaking is indeed different but there's something about it I like.
    The coasters were all awesome especially Tiberius.
    All 3 of the hotels on the resort map were great too!

    Congrats and thanks for letting me be apart of it :)

  • thorpedo%s's Photo
    Hooooly crap. This park is amazing. I didn't really like your 'style' in Snow Drop, so I didn't think that this would be any different, but you have evolved into some kind of.....inhuman parkmaker. The coasters in here are genius, and very creative...one almost wonders what goes on in your head. Your theming cappablities (sp?) go far in this park, with many different themes on one map.

    I am also very awed by your work on the hotel map. The Jurassic and Mt. Fuji hotels must be the greatest and most well thought out hotels I've ever seen. These two hotels make up for everything else on these two maps that I might not have liked. Amazing.

    Congrats rr. You rock.
