    Very cool park. A bit bare in some places (the splash ride for example) but some very cool layouts (e.g. the woody)and overall a park I would really like to visit.

    very nice park! not overly detailed, but pleasant and clean throughout, if a bit unbelievable realistically (but I am definitely not someone to criticize believability :p ). A few parks reminded me a little too much of other works in progress but its an impressive park and certainly worthy of gold.

    What you did give out on this park was a quite nice coaster lineup reminiscent to the park's history. I especially liked leviathan and thunderhawk's layouts. However, with the exception on the entrance and the leviathan area, I felt the architecture to be lacking. Even though you may or not consider this as a believable factor, I wished you would've redone especially the western area.

    Overall nice park, and most definitely your finest effort.

    One of the best parks in the last years. Congrats! Would love to have you in RCT-Pro.

    I really enjoyed this. I remember liking the woodie and the hyper, but not liking the Intamin

    Awesome job man! Glad to see you stick with this to the end. For the most part, I thought it was pretty great. The wooden coaster was one of the better layouts I've seen lately, and the Leviathan layout was top-notch (just wish it was a bit taller). Also, I was really digging the look of the multi-colored looper. Felt very believable to me--like something a Cedar Fair park would do to boost the aesthetic appeal of an old arrow coaster. Also enjoyed the Maverick coaster; I just wish you had thought of a name other than Maverick haha.

    Off the top of my head, I can remember a few things I wasn't so much a fan of. I thought the kiddy area was a pretty dull and one-dimensional. I really haven't seen a kiddy area done right since Six Flags Carolina. Also, the rapids was so beautiful, but would be an incredibly boring ride with no waterfalls. Even Congo Rapids at Great Adventure, which I consider to be the worst rapids ride ever, has a waterfall I think. Also, that Snake River Falls ride was just way out-of-place looking. I know there are many better ways to do that tunnel over the turn-around. I actually used the clear scenery tool to demolish it just to see if it would look better without the tunnel; it did.

    Anyway, completely enjoyed this and thought it was totally worth the Gold. Congrats man. You're truly a productivity machinge.

    Hello Louis! & Maverix, I've looked at your park and I love it. The coaster layouts are so great!

    I remember opening the unfinished version of this, really happy this got finished. All of the parts that were unfinished now look very refined and complete. Many of the rides were spot-on for Cedar Fair parks, names, even down to the restrooms and the various games. Maverick and Leviathan looked awesome, as well as the entrance, Thunderhawk, and almost all of the architecture. The Coasters drive-in, as well as the rest of the midway, was beautiful, looked very close to the standard Cedar Fair midway.

    There were one or two things that seemed unfinished or off, mostly the Splash Boats; I actually work at the old Arrow Splash Boats at my own park (White Water Landing) and climbed up to the turnaround this morning to sit up there and read a speech (this is an actual position on the ride, it is also my favorite). The raised portion right before the splashdown is where this station is, as well as some catwalks out to the rest of the chute. Honestly, everything else is beautiful

    Dude I fucking love this park. Probably my favorite realistic releases ever.
    Leviathan and it's interaction made it. Probably only a 70% without that thing. So good.

    Really enjoyable park. I'm glad it was picked back up and finished, it was well worth the effort. Leviathan was excellent, Maverick was nostalgic for me, Thunderbird was downright awesome, The archy was very fun and realistic. I just thoroughly enjoyed the park. Loved the entrance homage to CP's new entrance; was just there Sunday. The rides were top notch, the archy did a great job supporting the rides, and the atmosphere was awesome. Definitely resonates with me so well because of being so close to CP. Anyway, really nice job on this guys, a well deserved Gold.

    Congrats on this. Looks incredible from the overview. I'd say more, but I'm waiting to give this a proper look through during the weekend.

    Can Leviathan be nominated for Best Steel Coaster, 2013? That thing was fantastic. Loved all of the many photogenic turnarounds and crossovers. Great ride, I watched it over a few times and just loved it.

    Overall the park was really good, and I'm liking these Cedar Fair parks that we've been seeing for the past few months(+) now. It's a nice break from the usual Six Flags park that we're so used to seeing.

    After Leviathan Afterburn was probably my favorite coaster, as it was a pretty great BTR clone outside of the corkscrew that went the wrong direction. I love the fact that it's a BTR though, and not a unique layout (partly because I just love that coaster so much), and after reading up on your park history it totally makes sense as to why it's not a custom layout.

    My main problems with the park is just the lack of refinement that a lot of the architecture had, and that some things were a bit too Starpointe-like, but I don't think this is the first time we'll see that. As said above, the kid area was a bit bland and the rapids could've had a bit more though put into it, given that it was more like an intense lazy river as opposed to a rapids adventure, but I'd like to add that the park layout seemed very odd to me. Going by the park history, you said that there was a second entrance, so maybe that's why it felt odd, like it's entrance now was just out of place. I don't know, maybe you moved it in order to accommodate the parking lot areas (which were very well made). Perhaps you can enlighten us a bit here...?

    I almost loved the original layout of leviathan better (besides that helix at the end) that being said. I love this park man. For sure. I'd go into detail more but everyone has covered the main points by now.

    I will say my favorite thing about this was how realistically you made it look that leviathan is a new ride. If that makes sense. It's so realistic of a B&M being put into a park.

    Congrats man. Your definitely up there for best parkmaker now. Bases on quantity alone. And it doesn't hurt your quality is awesome

    I actually thought the brakerun of leviathan had a pretty good flow to it.
