    Thanks Roomie. :)

    I hope more NE'ers will understand my different aproach towards the game.
    Don't expect to much realism from me, but expect madness and crazy out of the box thinking.
    It's what i like.
    Although feeling a little discouraged by the outcome of the score, i'll surely try this again ,with better planning ofcourse.

    Okay so the landscaping wasn't that great, the layouts could have been better and the foliage left a lot to be desired.

    But on the whole I thought this was brilliant. One of my favourite releases in a while, I'd have voted this around 80%. Really well done Arjan, a huge step up from your previous work.


    Now I'll disappear for another couple of months, trav awaaaaay

    Of course you would want that. You're the person 'one person' in charge.


    Naturally, I'm the only member of this site that has the much needed and much desired bitchy, self-centred personality required to be so judgmental.

    Well, here's an example:
    http://www.nedesigns...de-lage-landen/
    http://www.nedesigns...471/fun-island/
    http://www.nedesigns...reepark-berlin/
    http://www.nedesigns...onder-showcase/
    http://www.nedesigns...amusement-park/

    Some of these could have been accolades, some not. The fact is, all of them are quality parks that deserve more recognition than a lower scoring park. Some are of higher quality than a few bronzes I've seen.



    i agree. bring back the runner-up. the bronze runner-up.

    I loved this! As others have said, the interaction between the coasters and the peeps, scenery, architecture and landscaping was brilliant. I spent ages watching each ride, following precisely where every bit of track led to. I especially enjoyed the fake track on the mine cart ride (and was even fooled myself a couple of times!) Well done on the accolade - definitely deserved. And in my opinion, should've been voted higher :)

    Personally, I think this park was deserving of a much higher accolade (Silver at LEAST if not gold). Sorry I'm a bit late on this, but I think this parks organization and central theme, (and a creative one at that), makes it one of the most innovative and creative parks I have seen in a while. You manage to keep the theme in a way that allows your eyes to flow across the park without abrupt theme changes or rides standing out. I love the bridge entrance, and the spooky looking village. The overall theme was genius! Incredible!

    Hey Flux, good to see you actually posting over here.

    The main thing keeping this back from a higher accolade I think was scale. It's a very small park, and a creative base idea will only get you so far. I do agree on the Silver, though, and there's been an issue with uncharacteristically low votes recently. Whether or not they're justified is a matter for another thread.

    @ Levis: I'm not sure what you fully mean by that emoticon, but i'm guessing it's positive, so thanks.

    @ FLUXtrance: Thanks, i'm glad you like it.

    Also nice to see that you understood my objective when building this, you're one of the few. Bad planning may have been the biggest mistake i made in this park and that's why the score also didn't reach silver or higher i guess.

    But it's definitely my most inspired and creative work so far.

    Edit: Thanks Ling, i'm a little slow typing today.

    It's a combination of:
    - You got ripped off by some of the realistic parkmaker here giving you such a low score
    - It looks nice, reminds me of some older work I did
    - Hope you keep building for a while, curious for your new work
    - Hey, nice to see your still here

    So all in all it can be compressed to "cheers" so thats why I did that smiley :p.

    Haha, that's nice then. :)

    I agree with you that i'm ripped of here, but i'll live with it.
    This style is not inspired by anybody, it's purely my own, but nice to know that it resembles your older work.
    And i'll keep building for sure ,only in a somewhat slower pace.
    Also nice to see you checking out NE again, since it's been a long time. :)
