    Finally, the release of rctX's second park, Urban Midnight! This park was formerly a solo by ride6, and then he brought it to rctX where it became a group park with him and I.

    We were somewhat dissppointed when this park did not make Runner-Up here at New Element, but it obviously doesn't compare to the other runner-ups.

    Nice park, though I can see why it didn't win runner-up.
    I loved the "Global Assault Labs" area, great creative theming, and very Cataclysm-inspired (which IMO, is a good thing). The whole nuclear fission plant was really cool, plus lots of other nice details.
    The other two areas, I really didn't like as much. I found most of it to be pretty generic and boring, and the stuff like the crane or the bulldozer just seemed strange as they had pretty much no connection to the rest of the park, not as theming or anything.
    Oh and I for the most part disliked the multi-coloured paths.
    Good park, still :)

    Global Assault Labs was the final area (mine :D) and if I'd had that kind of effort in my other area then it would've probably made runner-up. Who knows really. I still think it's a crying shame when some quality LL work like this gets dropped from any awards when RCT2 parks seem to make it with ease... 8@

    With the LL parks that haven't made "the cut" recently it really makes me wonder if the playing field for LL is still even with RCT2. It doesn't seem to be, except for the established masters who are spotlight-capable.

    But the first two islands really aren't THAT good so I guess I see where this doesn't make it.

    it's nice, definitely better than "2 shades of pink"

    but then again, 2 shades of pink had a bit of butterfinger style going, and iris loves butterfinger style. But if i were running the show (which i never will) this would have been runner up =P.

    to the park, it was very interesting, really. The paths were so goddamn horrible tho, and there were 'mistakes' everywhere. The coasters all seemed to be nice tho. I probably would've chosen this above Jkay's park too. But i'm evil, not iris. You sure he didn't just want to post it next round?

    I think Bigfoot PMed Iris on the subject before posting and Iris said that this was indeed, doomed.

    And yes there are all kinds of issues in the park. Just for fun I may remake my area's in a few months (hopefully MM can do the same) and we'll try again. If not rctx has plenty of other projects in progress.

    Yes, it didn't make it. But I'm willing to rework my section in the future, we'll talk about that later....

    Thanks for the comments guys.

    He complained alittle when I started this park and I have to wonder if I will get a runner up with an LL park at all. Who knows. He did say the GAL was good enough for runner-up but the other two area's weren't.

    ride6, try not to orientate all your parkmaking efforts to impressing iris. Build what you enjoy, or I can tell you from experience that rct turns quickly into more of a job than a game.

    I really enjoyed the park, I thought the tormentor or whatever it was called was very well designed, apart from the two corkscrews. This would have got runner-up in my book... but I can see how two of the areas looked a little lazy.
