    i loved this. the atmosphere was so fantastic. the ride design was fairly poor, however. well done on the accolade, and good luck on anything you have in the pipeline.

    sssammy, again i see your vote, somewhere up up and away from all other voters and am kinda starting to wonder in what way you look at rct creations. but, as long as your average difference stays small, it's okay :p

    avanine, congratulations on winning silver and getting your name on #11 in the rankings! the park was nice and charming, yet not really flowing well for me. sometimes it felt a bit random and unpurposeful, which creates an atmosphere of building insecurity. this however, is the all so normal neverending battle to rct greatness that i think everyone is struggling with to some extent. with your recent progress though from what you've shown on the forums, i am very keen to see your upcoming projects.

    ^yeah, I also would like to know sssammy.. You rated this as high as epws, so I wonder if you think this was as good as epws..

    To be honest, it's kinda insulting to me.

    AC; Nice little park, I basically agree with everything posix said.

    maybe i didn't enjoy epws as much as others did. i vote on enjoyment of the park. i guess now i'm going to have to check with you what your vote is, six frags, so that they're all the same and i don't offend you.

    Not at all sssammy, I respect everyones opinion, so also yours, and it's not about that everyone should have the same opinion as me.
    Just think about it a bit please, and try to understand where I'm coming from. That's all I ask..

    i understand where you're coming from, but i don't know what you want me to do about it. vote lower on new members and more bizzarre submissions?
  • Six Frags%s's Photo
    Maybe I just needed to vent a little, and had a bit trouble to except people could rate this park as high as epws, that's all.. I'm not mad or anything, just a bit frustrated :p

    i guess what i'm trying to get across is the difference in opinions always compliment eachother and create an equalibrium which (more times than not) the panel is happy with.
  • Six Frags%s's Photo
    I get that, but that doesn't mean that you have to vote extra high to get your point across that you liked it so much.. Just rate what you feel like giving it, and not rate a park so high because you want to get some sort of equilibrium on a submission..

    I really enjoyed wondering around this park. It was very well done in many areas but other left me wanting more or left me wondering what happened to the feel I had just a few seconds ago. A few items that I thought were just super cool, were the Railway Bridge and the surrounds around Saloon Hall Spin.

    Going to go fix the parks entrance and let the little fellas in and see what they think of the place. ;)

    As for what I'm reading about votes, and from what I've seen with my own park and the ratings of others I've looked at, it seems to me that some of the panel is very bias when it comes to the style of other players or who the builder is, that goes for high and low votes. While some really seem to put their personal preferences aside and look at the park(s) for what they are, and not what they think they should be. I remember reading somewhere about panelists should post what they liked and didn't like in a public way, so everyone (not just the park builder) really understands where their vote came from and I kind of like the idea, however I also realize how time consuming it would be and honestly it really doesn't matter. By dropping the low and high the system really seems to work quite well. Just my thoughts on the issue, not meant to insult or anger anyone.

    I see accolade voting like this:

    A= 80-100
    B=60-80
    C=40-60
    D=20-40
    F=0-20

    This is only how I view the scores. But I think some panelists are afraid to vote "too low" sometimes. This park definitely fit the bronze ranking, but low silver seems a bit high.

    I'm so glad this park made it to the front page guys! Thanks so much to everyone involved (I love the logo!) and I hope to continue to make improvements for my next project. I know there were many problems with the park (Desperado's queue was disconnected, the entrance was bugged, the sign for Shasta was incorrect, I forgot to turn on the music for the rides, etc.) but I will know better next time before I submit anything haha :) and also I realize that certain parts of the park are not up to par with other areas, but someone told me it is more worthwhile to finish something and learn from the overall rather than going back to fix old areas. Hopefully my next submission will not have such a drastic change in quality level between the areas.

    Thanks for everyone's support, and I hope you at least enjoyed certain parts of my park!

    While the park was nice to look at it sure was a mess once you let the guests in. :(

    Good luck with your next project, look forward to seeing it.

    wow, a great park. i understand why sammy voted so high, as i would too. good job, and i'm looking forward to more releases by you! :)

    I really liked this park. The archy was great, the atmosphere too. The coaster layouts were a bit lacking, but overall deserving of the silver accolade. Congrats on the great debut.
