    Dont know what is more amazing, the park or the fact that RRP actualy released something. The coasters were some of the best in any park, though Lutz Breeze was just too similar to Cobra, its basically that coaster in a slightly different order. I actualy really liked Pilot Wing, thought it was a nice change of pace for a flyer. Sun Stroke had an awesome layout as well, and its jsut about the first time it has actually looked good when a coaster extended into water, normaly I dont like that. The Duelers looked awesome, but on a far zoom appeared somewhat cluttered over the area, taking up just a tad bit too much space. You are one of the best architechts in RCT, and this park definatly shows that. Loved the buildings all around. Themeing was great as well, with the exception of Kilamajaro... just too bare. Overall, great park, definatly up there on my list.

    Excellent park, a sure top 10 on my list...I didnt really like The Last Amigo, but Force of Nature was sweet! Along with...with..doh! The sweet giga! Nice job RRP!

    I really liked the park. Although I felt the entrance architecture was kind of bland, it was still nice.

    The coasters were fun to watch and I really liked Sun Stroke's layout. So basically, your park was a great park.

    I just got around to checking the forums since god knows when and saw the spotlight and ........... thnx iris ;)

    thanks to all that commented and here a few things to clear up.
    Firstly pilot wings is meant to be a LIM launched 4D thats why the layout isn't too extreme.

    next, all the coasters were built by me but x-sector change the layouts a little on one of the deullers to improve the stats.

    X-sector themed most of the area infront of the giga (past the stadium but not as far as the castle). He also did most of the work around the water coaster and finished the layout (which i like) because i lost interest in the park after I had done the few buildings at the front of that area.

    Lutz breeze was based on draken fire because it closed and demolised and the last amigo was based of a model coaster i saw.

    thanks to all that commented, enjoy the park and btw look out for SWA ;)

    Well I think unfortunately this park suffers from comparison to several of the other parks released recently. This is definately one of the most jaw droppingly beautiful parks ever released and a total aesthetite (I'm inventing words again) such as myself would normally gush endlessly over such beauty. Although looking at the park again I'm still struck by how wonderful everything else is, I can't help feeling that having seen X-Sector's latest and DDI that some of the magic is gone. I'm sure you worked on this for awhile and it's really great it just unfortunately is a little late to make a strong impression on me. I really do love the look but I also feel like I've seen it before somehow.

    Looking at the park more deeply, the 4D coaster and the Giga standout as especially excellent. All of the Giga coasters built in this style look wonderful so there's not much surprise there though I would like to mention that I love seeing pipeline track used as tunnels. I also enjoyed the 4D coaster more than most I've seen. I tend to prefer more compact and restrained layouts as a rule and so this really struck me as something deceptively simple, but very well designed. I've always felt that there was something inherently ugly about dueling coasters. Perhaps because they take up so much space or perhaps because they all tend to share the same elements. The duelers here are very nice but also kinda ordinary.

    Something I really dislike about almost all of the NE spotlights is their reliance on adornments to disguise what is essentially boring architecture. Too many parks rely on virginia reel track and basic sloped blocks arranged in various ways and then decorated with fences, bushes, pathways, flowers, etc. It gets pretty repetitive when each park tends to repeat this same style throughout. There's some interesting building design in this park but it leans too heavily toward the ordinary I feel.

    Perhaps I'm being overly critical of what is undoubtedly a beautifully designed park. I have definately become jaded quickly by all the great parkmaking taking place at NE to the point where beautiful parks in the NE style appear run of the mill. In any case, I applaud you RRP for building such a great park I hope you don't take my criticism personally. I love the park but I also felt compelled to explain some of the things I didn't like as much. Clearly this park belongs somewhere in the top 10, even someone as critical and jaded as myself can see that :)

    ^ should know this park was created waaaaaaaaaaaaay before DDI and xsectors latest.. atleast some of it.... atleast i think so... anyways u should see it more as an original ;)
  • Coaster Ed%s's Photo
    Oh I didn't mean to suggest it wasn't WME. I know as well as anyone how long it takes to complete a park. I just meant that I saw this park after those other parks and so for me it doesn't feel as fresh and original. That doesn't reflect on the park in anyway, just my (flawed) perception of things. That doesn't make it any less true though.

    i understand ed tho ive been making this park for longer than DDI and way longer than DXO
  • Toon%s's Photo
    I loved this one. Great job. It's definitely my favourite spotlight of the last couple of months. If SWA is better.....wow!
  • Prince%s's Photo
    I completely loved this one. It was very crisp throughout the whole thing. It looked like a beautifully done SA park. There is not much that could of been placed to make the park better, imo, brilliantly done...

    I like it.

    The entrance and the western section were my favourites; the arabian area wasn't as good as the others because of the lack of... umm... trees. It was a bit boring IMO. The coasters were nice, especially the duellers, although their section was a bit crowded. Nice park.

    8,5/10

    *waiting for SWA :)

    I've spent a long time making an invert like that, and now that it's done, I can't stand any of them. But I think RRP made a good job anyway.

    This is a beautiful park, there's no doubt about it. However, the Kilamanjaro section really doesn't fit with the rest of it. The giga section, and the duelers section were my personal favorites, but the kilamanjaro section was just too bare, and didn't fit with the "over-themed" rest of the park imo.
  • Dantheman%s's Photo
    Amazing park one of my top 3 ne spotlights so far. The duelers were very good.
  • GigaForce%s's Photo
    Wow...themeing and architecture was amazing!

    I loved all the coasters...especially the Giga but Pilot Wings was a bit iffy...

    this park was very nice prolly up around the 9.4 range...ill do a review sometime soon

    My Review has come:

    Coasters - The Giga was amzing, the woody too. The SLC Duelers were nice...but LARGE. Kilimanjaro was well done as was Lutz Breeze. I didnt really like the concept of Pilot Wings but itll grow on me.

    Architecture - Very nice...the buildings were fabulous. Some of the best architecture since Troy indeed.

    Theming - Very Very nice themeing. Especially the Mount Kilimanjaro ride are...that whole area was azmingly well done. I also liked the areas around the Giga and Woody.

    Overall Look - Very Kool overall look. I loved looking down on the Kilimanjaro section the the Giga and the architecture was great as you Zoom in.

    Rating - 9.4 Great park RRP...i guess wat it lacked was a PUNCH of new ideas...Pilot Wings was new, but a strange concept. Very Nice nonetheless.
