    Wow! I'm surprised. I saw spotlight and your name was under it. I shocked me but then I opened it and it wasn't hard to see why. Well done. Fantastic park. Congrats for a well deserved spotlight.

    Thanks guys, the feedback is appreciated.

    If i did it again, with more planning, i would have done things slightly differently. The Lost Continent would be smaller, Al-Hassan Oasis would be slightly larger, with a large attraction, and La Rochelle would be much larger. That was the only area which i actually thought, "hey, i could carry on building here and not run out of ideas...".

    I'm definitely going to plan my parks further in the future. ;)

    Congrats on the spotlight dude, i knew it would be when you sent it a while back. Glad you put the logo to good use ;)

    Im not sure on my favourite area, i just loved the whole thing. I thought that maybe there was a little too much water, and the area sizes maybe could have been slightly better, but everything else is wonderful. I especially liked the way the splash boats kinda made a hole for the double drop.

    Congrats!

    Very nice park Turtle, a deserved spotlight, although I have to say the themes were maybe a bit too similar and repetitive. If I can give you a suggestion for next time: dare to use more color ;)
    Congratulations

    This park is fantastic. I love the architecture and even though the themes were slightly similar, i think the park had a good variety of just about everything. The pirate area especially was stunning, as was the whole park to be honest.
    It is pleasant to look at and nothing seemed to be out of place. This park probably has the best atmosphere than any other parks i have ever seen, and would fit snuggly in my top five parks of all time list. :p

    I can't get over how good the corkscrew coaster was, the wooden coaster however seemed to spend too much time underground- however that was the only fault i could find with the park. The colours are so relaxing and, beautiful.

    Stunning. :X

    I just downloaded it. Looks good from the screens.

    And congrats on the Parkmaker spot Turtle! You've earned it.

    Fantastic park, Turtle. I had hoped this would grab at least Super Runner-Up from the screens and it is a dream come true that it got Spotlight. Macaw was my favorite coaster, ducking in and out of the mountains and cliffs around it, and perfectly colored. Chariot of the Gods was also an excellent coaster, one of those "where's it going next?" coasters. The entrance area was beautifully done, very refined and not over-the-top. My only gripes with the park (not that I could do even 1/10 as good) were that the water ride that you showed screens of in the South American area was a little short, and that the area with the dueling coasters (though those were awesome) was a little bare, with paths a bit too wide. But overall, an excellent park, Spotlight worthy definitely, and I look forward to seeing your next project.

    wow. Just, wow.
    Turtle, I love the park. You and I both knew it would win, and shit, look what happened. :) Great coaster layouts, BRILLIANT architecture, and quality theming, and awesome atmosphere, too. Just really, really nice. Congratulations on the Parkmaker spot, and it looks like I get to work with one now, too. ;) :p

    Keep up the great work.

    I really thought this park was beautiful. It was everything I could ever want in an RCT2 park......However, now that I have immersed myself in RCT3.....going back to 2 felt very surreal. I wanted to dive in to your park, and couldn't (not your fault...damn the camera angles). I have also come to the conclusion after having spent a great deal of time looking at the new terrain and water....that I really don't like the look of the RCT1/2 water at all.

    I know...it's apples and oranges. Just voicing an opinion. Your park really is spectacular. It is definitely spotlight material...and you definitely earned your parkmaker spot. Congrats.

    Well done that man. Told you it would get spotlight! An excellent park with parkmaking skills all down to near perfection. I look forward to seeing something a little more adventurous from you in the future, now you have proved you are one of the best in the game.

    Wonderful. Just wonderful. Definately deserved Spotlight. My favorite coaster was the corkscrew (can't remember the name ??? ). Very fun park to look at. Everything was done so well and looked beautiful. Great job man. :)

    My simple area-by-area review:

    Finch's Landing- Excellent use of soothing music and classy architecture. The pink flowers really help to set the mood. My only real complaints here is that the area is too big to be lacking a major attraction.

    La Rohelle- My favorite area by a slim margin. The landscaping, theming and archetecture all force the atmosphere to new heights. The use of coaster theming was top notch and the ship was wicked. If this was about 50% bigger all the better it would be. :)

    Al-Hassan Oasis- My least favorite bit of the park since it just seem neglected compaired to it's neighbors and the rest of the map. No major attraction or theming element along with a general lack of detail really hurt here, and here only.

    The Lost Continent- The size of this area is it's most disturbing aspect. The other problems I had were that the rapid could've been done much better and the duelers should've/could've been B&Ms because Bimmers are so much cooler. :D The landscaping, folidge and archetecture really pulls you into the screen though. Excellent.

    Thornhill Manor- A beautiful little underdeveloped spot. It uses those blue flowers, which as sad as it is I'm in love with. I would've loved to have seen this area expand into say, a resort or something on the back half of the lake. Unfortunently it is not so. None-the-less what is there is beautiful in a way that the rest of the park cannot compete with.

    Iguaca Falls- Classy Red flowers used abondently. Archetecture continues the trend of perfection but is slowy becomeing repetitive in nature. The corkscrew coaster is very solid, one of the best of it's type but still not a thriller enough to be the "main attraction" so to speak. The water coaster and Jaguar are both interesting consepts that seemed to be jammed into spots that you didn't know what to do with. They're just too small.

    Mycenea- My 2nd favorite area because, like La Rohelle, it is unique when compaired to the rest of the map. Using more 1/4 tile architecture really does wonders and the two contrasting flower types really pull the atmosphere in a new, brighter direction. Chariot of the Gods is an interesting woodie that never gains enough speed to be impressive imo and some of the archetecture seems a bit forgotten when compaired to the masterpieces right next to them.

    Overall- The park has suburb landscaping and theming, solid but somewhat repetitive archecture styling and excellent use of music. On the bad side the coaster collection is lacking when compaired to this parks greatest rivil park, RoB and there was too much water, causing things like Jaguar to run out of room on a map that's big enough to swallow four pro tour maps and then some.

    I haven't opened the file yet but my expectations are high.
    Congratulations on your Parkmaker spot. You earned it. Great job!

    Turtle, awsome ass park.

    I will admit the entrance and JP like theme did not do much for me, but the rest was amazing, like the Pirate and Arab parts, I loved both alot, and that huge parrot was really good and funny. Just great stuff all around, tho I think adding more detail mite help, tho in spots you had it.

    Congrats man, and thx for helping me test it. And I can't wait to see your Parkmaker Pg. ;)

    Congratulations on the spotligt Turtle!

    I thought the park was a bit uneven though. La Rochelle was really cool (except for those straw roofs) and should've been bigger, while I felt the entrance area (great foilage there btw) and the lost continent area got a bit repetitive (even if it had a nice WME/slob atmosphere), and the desert area was a bit boring, except for the nice waterfront. But, um, it would have been nice with an area without a waterfront :p
    That jungle area, which reminded me of your old runner-up park, was certainly nice, but maybe the paths were to wide or something, it lost the jungly atmosphere in some places. The greece-style area with the woodie was nice too, original and still traditional, like most of the park.
    Maybe the park needs some more time to grow (like Schuesslers), but I don't love it as much as I thought I would. Perhaps each area (except for la rochelle) could have needed a really memorable centerpiece or something. More things like that coaster-track bird and the ship.

    Sorry for the delayed response...

    Absolutely amazing! I loved pretty much the whole park. Some standout things... The corkscrew coaster, "Macaw" I think it was, had great pacing, good speed, and good use of the landscape. I also liked the splash boats (with an extreme excitement rating!) and the dueling coasters were executed pretty well; I just wish you put some quality custom supports on them.
