I'm just surprised all the votes were pretty close together.

Yeah, but it was strange and had many flaws. I'm just glad I finished it and some people thought it was accolade worthy. I wouldn't consider this a failure because I thought it was a pretty good park. Besides, I don't really car, this park doesn't need a write-up or logo.

I thought this was great. Really strange in some areas, and the pacing on some of the coasters was awful (Mt. Nemesis, Lunar Rockets, etc.), but overall I was totally intreagued the whole time I viewed this (which was a hell of a lot longer than I've viewed many higher-scoring parks). There were just so many times I stopped to watch a coaster, thinking, "Well, how the hell is this gonna work?" It was a lot of fun jag. Nice job.

Thank you, it was my goal to make this park fun and full of innovative ideas that are rarely if ever used. Usually something like this would be hit or miss, but all the votes were packed together, and I am glad this turned out okay though. I guess it isn't what people were looking for in a park though. Anyways, thanks for the encouragin comment, I'll have more surprises in my parks yet to come.

That's what they said last time. I do wish there was a ranking system, for instance, an honorary mention with a score of 40-49 deserves more recognition than one under 30, there is a huge gap between bronzes and honorary mentions, kind of like when there were runner-ups. I remember seeing a runner-up that wasn't even nearly finished. Thanks for the comment though, maybe Corrosion 2 will win.

Maybe you should hold off on that.

But anyways this is far better than any of your work I've saw and while not perfectly executed it was interesting and held my attention

Could you pick out and explain a few of your innovative ideas because honestly, I don't see them.

What I liked about this park was that style and atmosphere wise it had a certain uniqueness. However it felt very unorganised and just strange. Many things made me raise my eyebrows in a "wtf?!" kind of way. If you manage to translate the uniqueness into a more flowing and sensemaking way I should be very curious what it will look like.

Well, I build this because what I have seen lately (apart from people like Colby and Miracle) seemed like anything I had already seen before, they all were the same in some way. Of course they are all decent, but I see the same architecture, color schemes, and layout styles. I was aiming to build something classic, something that would keep someone's attention for a longer time than most parks. Isn't this game about fun, not about foliage placement or how realistic something is. I wanted to see some new coaster types, after all, build what you want,and that is what I did here, and although this park may be a mess, it was my testing ground, something I spent a year on and it increased my skill greatly. I am satisfied that I followed my goal, to create an interesting park in a unique style.

That's all good jag, but my point was that you didn't really have many concrete ideas in this. It was just, like you said, a testing ground. I would advice you to try build more consciously, and less experimentally.

I will in future parks. I made this for my own personal enjoyment and also to make me better at the game. It would have been hard to make this a bronze, because I have been working on it for over a year, and my skill may seem the same, but if you look at a screen shot from several months ago, I'm sure the newer one will show improvement. I will show more conventional ideas in later parks though.

This made me laugh.

Honestly though, i'm really glad that you stuck with this and finished it, a whole park this size deserves some recognition, and there were a few really cool things in here. I think if you put this many ideas into every little thing you make, and can make it all into a cohesive whole, you'll become a really good builder.

Sorry to see your big project didn't win! Very cool ideas everywhere, it was just a bit un-cohesive. More work on refining your skills will make you better, and I hope you get the accolade next time!

Sorry for the Bumping, I just forgot to reply to these people:

Thank you for the comment. Hopefully I will improve.

Maybe next time, it's disappointing to see this not win, but hopefully I will improve from past mistakes.

Glad to hear that.

Also, looking back from this video: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=FOm6kHm2i-w This park has really changed over a period of several months.
