    This looks fantastic from overview, Liam. Apart from the paths being a little wide, maybe, its great. Very classic -- this is the kind of stuff I want to go back to building. Really nice job, dude! I'd love to hear posix's thoughts on this since I thought he would eat up something like this but it was clearly not the case.

    Beautiful. This is some LL I really love, not the codex cluttered mess that seems to be the current(2008+) trend.

    I LOVED this. Quite possibly your best LL work after Giari Palms. Fantastic.

    See my comments in the AD topic. You guys never fail to amaze me that this style seemingly is still more popular than I would dare to believe.

    Sadly that isn't reflected in the score. Not saying this particular design should've scored higher, not at all because I know it is flawed. But I've got the feeling that you need modern techniques to score much higher these days. I doubt a nostalgic park can score over 80%, unless it's natelox.

    I think I know why the style is still 'popular' though. It's because this style rotates about aesthetics and strong, simple atmospheres. Qualities that have been forgotten in recent years.

    At least this is what makes me play LL. I like pierrot's work a lot but it doesn't inspire me like parks by natelox, Ozone, RRP or you, posix. Compared to recent micro-detailed LL work, I can count Fatha, x-sector and mantis as well. Among others.

    Shame that it didn't make it.
    I can't really comment much ,since i don't have LL yet ,but from what i can see ,it looks very nice. The layout is awesome and adventurous. :)

    I'll check your park soon Liampie ,when i can. ;)

    I tried, but didn't get past silver, I know my park wasn't nostalgic in this sense, but it still didn't use any modern techniques.

    Anyhoo, I should have voted slightly higher, looking back there are parts of this that are worthy of design, it's just the overall picture isn't. Had the layout been better this could have won design easily as the surroundings, even though nostalgic, were impressive.

    what i do not get is how my hm is just a percent under this. this is far better

    I reckon that it is just a bit small and empty for a design. other than that, great classic atmosphere. nice work.
