Description
So its finally there. After 7 years of not playing the game I discovered the love for it again and started playing after long days of work as a kind of meditative recovery time. This is the result guys. When the rct scene was very active a decade ago, I started new parks almost on a daily basis, but almost never finished a project, because of distraction or dissatisfaction. This time, I just built all those things not for somebody to impress, but just for me to relax and have fun. So maybe thats the secret after all.
I know the workbench is pretty old and basically NCSO, and I kept a fast building style, but I think its still pretty enjoyable for you guys. Its not the uber-detailed micro-architecture and I dont know a thing about hacking rides. I just went for it oldschool style.
I will definitely continue playing and building, and to bring my work to the next step. I would also love to do some group work with you guys or have some people build areas in my parks.
So, let me hear what you think about it and have fun! - No fans of this park

Awesome park. Very fun, good to look at, and full of details. I liked the Asian, Wild West, and egyptian areas the most. Good old-fashioned RCT2. But I think the big B&M (Shardik) crashed because it wasn't operating. Nice work.

Thanks csw. Yeah the shardik crashes from time to time, but it worked most of the time
btw, should I provide a full scale whole-park-picture for people, who wont open it in-game, or is somebody doing that anyways?

Quite nice, but not NCSO, and i don't really like some of the buildings. I really like NCSO stuff to be incredibly creative, this is rather "well-its-just-a-normal-park" type of stuff. Some of the coasters have quite bad ratings (Goliath's lateral G's are red...) and Reindeer crashed just a few minutes after starting. The Egyptian part is mindblowing though.

my two favorite parts were definitely the spot with the tree surrounded by red flowers and the foggy something something mine train. those were the only spots that you nailed atmosphere, and in this sort of simplistic building style, you really got to nail atmosphere.
don't bother making a full scale overview. if it wins an accolade you'll get one, and if not, well, maybe its not worth the effort

I thought this was pretty awesome. I'm glad you have the right priorities when playing RCT. That means that you think about having fun and building for yourself before you spoil the fun by trying to hack everything or sticking to certain 'rules'. That's something I think some members never really understood.
Keep building like this man!

thank you, guys. well it seems, that the i just finished the park in a situation, where some rides are going to crash. they didnt crash for a pretty long time, but well, it is how it is.
I pretty much expected those opinions and I know this isnt a big thing, considering the work, which is released on this site frequently. But you got to have a base for the real masterpieces to shine
I already have some great ideas for my next park

That Egyptian area was fantastic - definitely my favourite area of the park.

I liked this a lot! I agree with Faas, I appreciate seeing this sort of "fun" mentality.

This was fun. You seem to build what you like and not what is considered 'good' at this site, I like that! You always had a fun style and this park is no exception! Next time you do NCSO, dare to avoid those strange custom objects alltogether! I especially liked those layered parts around the mine train, the asian area and the ride of red roses. The egyptian area was nice too.
Keep it up, and glad you're back!

Nice fun park.
I agree with 5Dave, nice that you're building what you like and not what you 'must'.
And yeah, some objects really suck.
I think interaction is a quality of yours, since that already shows in this park.
Your rides do need refinement, since the pacing is mostly too slow and the designs could be better.
Hope to see more of you and more refined of course.

thanks for your comments guys. yeah I know the bench was pretty old and some ugly early-cso were in there. thanks for the tips about the rides, I know I'm not too good at layouts, but well, maybe I get better

Really old school lol The egyptian area was by far the best area of the park.
I loved the woodie layout and the mega-coaster was also quite nice. Be careful with the pacing of your coasters though. Some were too quick in places and some were too slow.
Look forward to your next park.

Though I love the screens you post and I see you as one of the biggest talents around, I never thought this would be good enough for an accolade. The park exceeded my expectations, as I slowly stumbled upon more and more reasons why this park IS accolade-worthy. As Cocoa pointed out, the flower field and the mine train area were absolutely great. But wait there's more! I thought the wooden coaster had a great layout, really. The double turnaround looks lovely, and it seems you agree with me since you have two of those elements in your park. I didn't like Goliat's turnaround as much, though. Something else I want to point out is the Egyptian area. Chaotic, crazy, ugly perhaps, but I like it anyway. It's one of the few areas that has it's very own aesthetic, I've never seen that theme done like that before. And the pyramid in the middle is quirky, but cool. I could go on like this for another while, but I'll keep it short: it's a good park, and I would've given it bronze if it were up to me. Keep refining, keep doing themes, expand the themes, please maintain this classic NE reminiscent style, expand the paths (it was a little cramped here and there, see Egyptian area) and have fun. Too bad you didn't win, better luck next time!

Why does that matter...

It wouldn't show for you as you aren't an accolade panelist.
