Awesome! Full review later.

Alrighty here we go:

The architecture was awesome, very realistic, somehow over the top realistic to the point where its perfect. The Gertslauer bobsled layout was fantastic and the woodie wasn't bad at all either. The log flume and go karts were great and I really liked the golf course, well executed. Your farmlands are a great backdrop too.

Overall: 15/20,. Too small for anything more than a gold, but good enough to be a 75% park.

As for this project, I saw that there was 15 coasters used in the "view from a top the hill," this had two. How are you incorpeating the other 13? I'm just interested to see how this project is coming together overall. Is it a bunch of these miniature parks combined into one? If so, thats a great strategy to win points.

Excellent! I think this is your best park yet, very believable in every way. Piku Playground had too many plotholes and Valium Skies wasn't consistent enough. This park hasn't got any of those problems! I hoped there would be more architecture, but what's there is looking really good. Foliage still wasn't really my taste, but you're slowly getting better I think. Rides were great, especially the purple coaster and the minigolf!

There's one thing in this park that you shouldn't never do again... the farmlands. They're way too small to be credible, this is just forced context. Try harder, your farms can be as realistic as your parkmaking if you want to. Good luck with your other projects!

i always love your work. great realistic style. treat us with a big park please. allways spotlight worthy with the quality but not big enough. i really loved the flume and the custom supports on spitfire. awsome realistic architecture but its very similar to valium skys and piku playground. i also enjoyed looking at the mini golf course. neat little details. your work is very impressive.

I personally don't quite see how this is a gold.
Seems to me like an extended design, size-wise. And then I'm really getting bored by these hyperrealistic parks. I mean you showed with the mini-golf and tha large building next to it, that it is possible to make things realistic AND beatiful, enjoyable and interesting (for me that is). But the rest for me was just: "Aha, he took the time to stack a thousand objects for custom supports, and i appreciate the effort, but the result doesn't add anything to the atmosphere or my enjoyment of the park in general." Well, just the complaints of someone who'd like to see people build like in 2004 or something.
Yeah...thus "only" 55% from me.
Congratulations anyway.

i like this and i remember testing it before the foliage. happy you got a gold, but there was never an instance for me where i felt like this was an actual park. the whole park gives off the vibe a typical design would but regardless, congratulations.

Although I liked what was there I agree with wicksteed this isn't anywhere near a gold for me, Hyatt's ocean park was a great gold for me, I have issues with the way things get judges when its realism imo, ok its very realistic and its detailed and the woodie must've taken ages but its nothing mindblowingly new, its small and its the identical style of Piku but simply with other rides, it doesn't step out of your comfort zone and doesn't really display any ideas of real clear themes imo, its generic and that's all it is to me, don't get me wrong its a good small generic park but I don't think that schould be enough for to get a gold...

And I really don't see people voting this a spotlight really I mean cmon guys

Just my 2cents though

I really liked this, though I agree that it's small and that the custom supports don't add that much really. I take it you were inspired by Timber Falls? It may have been better with more and better exterior context, maybe a restaurant and/or gas station. How's the "Big One" coming?

just because people vote in the spotlight bracket doesn't mean they are to automatically vote yes for a park being spotlight. there could be a park that wins gold that scores 90% average panel score.

Fantastic work prodigy.Your parks remind me of faller ride models. Definitely a model making style. Sure there not much theming and its a small park.But everything that is stripped down is done so well. Peeps really add to this park. Anticipating your next release

I'm mad in love with that log flume. And that golf course.

I thought this was definitely better than Piku - I think it's how there's so much more happening here, whereas Piku had a lot more open space. And I definitely think it deserves silver/gold, so congrats on that! It certainly feels like more than a design to me.

an important thing you must consider before commenting on the scoring, is that voters vote on how much they like the park, not what accolade they think it should get.

I vote on what I think it should get. Everyone does it differently.

It was a nice park and it sure had its moments, but I agree it's more a strong silver than gold to me. whatever, it just barely made gold so the difference isn't that big.

i'm happy to see you still building, prodigy. i'm just regretting how your releases seem to shrink everytime now.
