    PS - Nice quote in your sig Nate. I wonder, do you want to be an architect? You talk about architecture more than just about anyone else here. Even Cork and he's an Architecture major.

    I do. I'm in the process of applying. I need to create a portfolio and write a letter of intent. This is why I'm not getting anything done with Ouest. Between listening to music, work and this application I have little spare time.

    ^ You should get AIM and hit me up. ;) Of course, I could only give you advice on USC and more of hte American process. They might do things differently in Canada (I say this without any offense meant).

    Anyway, it was definitely quite a hard call. In fact, I was considering Spotlight on a couple of occassions. But ultimately, the park didn't have that final "it" factor for me. I should mention that when Iris was contemplating Bijou Magic, I actually didn't think it was Spotlight caliber. This park is amazingly good, and I like to think that it fits the quality I demand for these new Super Runners Up. Meaning they're very damn good, but just a hair beneath Spotlight threshold.

    No knock to Aero at all, though. In fact, I totally agree with the DMA comparisons. DMA was Runner Up originally but got voted Spotlight in the Awards. I should figure out how to do that when I have time... school keeps me busy.

    Alright, I'm going to go out on a limb here. IMO this is the best disney park I have seen in rct.

    The areas were well defined, and all flowed together perfectly. The facades on some of the buildings, esepcially the train stations were immensly beautiful. I was not crazy about the roofing of the flat buildings... it didn't look so great. I wish you would have used a different texture for the flat building tops.

    The fire mountain area was my favorite. There were plenty of nice "details & touches" in the park, that I enjoyed.

    It seems like you always have a realistic traditional approach to the game. I love it. Keep up the great work.

    OK, I've looked at this park enough to finally comment properly... I was disappointed, Aero. Honestly, I enjoyed Wormwood more then this park. I think what really got to me was the architecture. Really, alot of it looked like random walls and pieces slapped together. Not all of it appeared that way, but to me, much of it did. However, the big, well designed structures in Tomorrow Land were very impressive. In fact, this was my favorite area in the park, easily. I loved all the neat little details and the cool ideals that were put to use here. The rest of the park... just didn't do much for me.

    Sorry, I'm still a huge fan of yours, but this park seemed a bit sloppy, and although you've said that you were taking your time with this one, alot of it looked rushed. Maybe though, this park will grow on me. In fact, I'm sure that it will. For now I just feel a bit let down because i was expecting one of the greatest RCT2 parks of all time. It was good, not great. Well deserved super runner up though.... but I can see why it didn't win spotlight. So congrats anyways, and I'm definitly looking very foward to your next RCT project, Cinescape. ;)

    I think we all know the answer to that question.

    uh...no

    This was released before Iceman sent his in. Iceman will win the next spotlight. There wasn't a spotlight this round. Bayfront Parc and this both got Super Runner-Ups to each other, I guess...

    Starting last month, we decided that Super Runners Up don't have to actually come in second to any actual park. If a Spotlight comes in, it goes up. If not, oh well.
