  I can see where these votes are coming from - most falling on the "meh" option - but I am a little disappointed to see this not landing an accolade.
  
  The park is inconsistent, really. The Spanish area is wonderful, and there are several moments of NCSO brilliance, but other parts really aren't very impressive. The layouts swing from very realistic, with what is a pretty solid GCI, to a little more fanciful, and I suspect that didn't go well with the panel. The idea of a cool cliff-diving coaster, for example, is really represented well, and that's what I liked. I felt like the park was put together in a series of "hey, you know what would be cool?" moments- (a fort would be cool!) - and then those ideas are executed individually with different levels of success. (yes, the fort is pretty cool.) It was occasionally a little painful to look at this through the lens of NE's recent high-detail realism trend, but I still enjoyed most of the park regardless, so my vote was "liked more than disliked."
  
  Definitely looking forward to more.

  I really liked this one. Don't know what to think of the architecture though, I feel like you sometimes overused a few objects and the castle was just gigantic but I liked the rest of it. I understand why it didn't win an accolade and I see some "mistakes" in my eyes that had no need to be done. The "snow" area for instance laked snow, I would have preferred the snowed-in trees, because the blue of the bobsled coaster didn't really fit the surroundings in my opinion.
  
  The Woody Layout was really cool (although a bit forced at the end) and I just loved Dynamite. That's the type of coaster I like to see in RCT parks: Gigantic and absolutely over the top awesome. I liked the Schwarzkopf in Spain as well, it just fit the surroundings and was very unique.
  
  Overall, I think you can do better, espacially with some of the buildings. Good luck for your next submission!

  I liked what I saw in this. The Schwarzkopf area (Spain) is accolade worthy, but others are a bit iffy. I, too, see where the 'meh' votes come from, as it wasn't mind blowing, but overall still a solid release.

  From a quick glance at the overview, this totally looks to be the superior park to Fizzix's Electric Fields. But after really looking at the two, it's a bit easier to understand why that grabbed bronze and this didn't. This is a really cool park with a lot of fun elevation changes and neat ideas, but it's just a little too unrefined in the basics (foliage, architecture, composition, etc.). Seriously, keep going with the NCSO stuff. This was an awesome attempt, and I'm sure you would only improve in your next go around.
  
  Oh, and the wood coaster was pretty great.

  Thanks for the amazing comments, guys! Really means a lot. But I see exactly what you're all saying; Agreeing with you, I'm stepping it up a notch in my latest project which has 8cars used in it. Now you will see zero clearanced buildings, foliage, and more. More detail, more time put into the project, etc. I'm really putting my heart into this next project, as I should have done with this one. Platinum Falls was my comeback park since I took a break from playing the game for a while. Spain, the cliff area, and the GCI were my favorites to work on, hence why they look like the better areas (IMO). Again thanks for the feedback, support, and all that jazz.

  I definitely enjoyed this a lot, but I felt it lacked in the basics just a little too much. The foliage, architecture, some of the ride designs. I wrote a nice lengthy comment fresh after voting behind the scenes, but I assume the Admins are a little busy at the moment. That statement basically sums up my vote. It was definitely fresh though, and refreshing. Your next project looks eons better, and I'm excited to see that.
