I finally got round to looking at this last night. I must admit this has been one of my most eagerly awaited parks (Along with Seven Stars, hint, hint Beagle ).
I was hugely impressed, the amount of effort that has obvious gone into the project is clear to see. The parking area and shopping complex in particular show a huge degree of planning and thought. I also loved the monorail supports.
The resort was probably the blandest map but I still liked the little touchs such as the tennis courts.
The park was very good, I especially liked the fact that the park featured a different selection of rides to the usual big B&M, Intimin rocket/hyper, Premier Water Coaster and Woodie that seem to feature in most parks. The custom flat ride was good and the rapids were superb. One point here, I found the change over between water and rapids was helped by setting the land to ice edged.
All in all I loved the whole package, especially the park map. IMO this is better than Rivers of Babylon. Congratulations James, you've just built my new favourite park.
WOW such a great park and very faithful to the marriott parks from the 70's Kudos to you....1 complaint....how come no peeps can enter....I like the challenge of getting the park and doing little changes to make it more peep friendly...It would be great if you could re-post with a peep friendly park.....oh and a mechanic can't get to the sky whirl....aaauuuuggghhhh....GREAT PARK anyways keep up the great work...your resort and parking structure are wonderful as well.....love the realism
1) Excellent, stellar, Class-A++, park, overall. Easily in my top 2 or 3 ever (but not 1).
2) The extras are awesome-Love the parking facility, and the resort-I admire your passion for structures, and your skills are immense. You are the best at that.
3) Can someone explain to me what this reference to Beagle is?
4) Can someone explain this Dutch thing to me, I only speak/read English, and I want to know more about this 11-mapper, and is it solo or group?
5) I have another thing, but I forget right now.
P.S. When will their be more updates?
EDIT:
I remembered it: I already see four tiles up there that are covered, and there are only three maps. Are we getting ahead of ourselves?
I did not mean to rush you in any way in my P.S., I was just excited and curious.
Can you tell us what all NINE plots of land will be, or will that spoil this? This whole conglomerate has got me positively dazzled with excitement.
We know six: The four here (Great America, Parking Lot, Resort #1, Convention Center), two more parks (Marine World and one who's name slipped my mind but it is in RCTNW's sig). We may know two more: I believe RCTNW mentioned making two more resorts. That is eight. What will the ninth be? To speculate, I hope a Water Park (not a Marine Life Park, but an actual Water Park) because those are cool.
EDIT: Sorry about the double-post, I did not realize you could edit after that length of time.

1 - Marriotts Great America - Released 2 - Marriotts Marine World – In Progress 3 - Marriotts Universal Studios – Movie Park – In Progress 4 - Marriotts Universal Studios – Back lot Studio Tour – In Progress 5 - Convention Center - Released 6 - Parking Facility - Released 7 - Resort Map #1 - Released 8 - Resort Map #2 – Planning Stages 9 – TBD – Currently water
The latest addition to the MGA map is Grizzly! The guest builder for this screamer will be identified in a few weeks when the park is release as an updated map to go along with the official relase of MMW!
Anyway James, It looks very nice. However, I wished you could have used a better name for the coaster (Just for the fact there are a few Grizzles out there already).

^ - There is a reason for the name. Remember, MGA is my version of the real park and I’ve been using actual ride names from the park in Santa Clara. So while I agree that the name is generic, there is a reason for it.

Looks good, although I don't really like the vertical sign (how it sticks up past the building like that...)

Oh, and gorgeous flyby, RCTNW. I wonder how that would look like through the peeps' eyes..

First let me say that rumors of my RCT death have been greatly overstated.
Below is a teaser for Grizzly that will be released later this weekend as an update to the MGA map.
