EverQuest Mystic Realms by Prince Ashitaka
-Only three Runner Ups this time (the fourth became RCT Station's Pinnacle Park).
-Marks the first time every single runner-up made The List (Atlas at 30/Nautica at 36/EQMR in the late 40's).
-Great job you 3!

Great parks...but Atlas Infinitum was Amazing...my new #2 park...i personally think this deserved spotlight more than HIOA...but it's not my choice. Great round of runner-ups...lookin forward to the next ones.

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that the 4th park was supposed to be my Dark Realm Realm Islands (?)

Good work on Atlas, boys. I loved the Icelandic/Viking/Mantits ripoff section. The Egypt I wasn't too keen with, but I hate anything Egyptian ever since The Mummy came out. Go figure.

Everquest, you made a nice park, man. I liked the flyer, and even though I still dont agree with the Mirage coaster, I still thought that the park was great. Kudos. Now go to hell.

And OZONE, even though I found more misspellings in the park than any I've seen from Dark Pitt, I liked what you did. Nice and well-rounded, and didn't make me focus on one section more than the others, which is a turn-on for Kirii. Call me sometime.

Atlas Infinitum- I am so sick of four corners parks. So very sick. Yet, unlike many four corners parks, in this one the atmosphere was there. Oh yes. Although this park didnt totally amaze me, it definetly had its bright spots. I enjoyed the mine train for some reason. Just really what a mine train should be in my eyes, although WAY too much of it was underground. It was, however, the arabian section of this park that really bought me. I am a sucker for bright exotic sections. Beautiful landscaping and architecture. The rest of the park....... I really dont know..... must just not be my preferred style, becasue I really didnt feel satisfied. But still, pretty nice. Not spotlight deserving, although it did deserve it more than HIOA if you ask me.

Forest of Nautica- Well, I dont know about you, but if I was Iris, right here would be your newest spotlight. This park tops HIOA in so many ways. Yes, it does have its faults like the slow coasters and the way the space section stuck out badly, yet, the sheer craftsmanship that went in this park overrides those factors. One of the nicer western sections I have seen in a while, as well as the complimentary luge woodie to go along with it. Now its not every day you see one of those eh? My favorite ride in the park however (no, actually it is NOT a coaster) is the go kart track (the name escapes me at the moment). I cant get enough of how it goes through the streets and such. I dont know, but that just really caught my eye. Lots of creativeness went into this park that HIOA cant come close to.

Everquest- Mystic Realms- I must say, I was rather dissapionted with this park. I actually liked the pre works in this chain better. The jagged rocks were just so bare and boring, and I really disliked a lot of the sections. Some of the architecture just clashed horribly with itself (for instance the palace, every tile of different colored building was the same hight, making it contrast badly and look rather unattractive). Nothing really struck me as new or creative like we have seen in some of the previous Everquest parks, and everything just seemed as if it was thrown together without any real thought. I dont know, but this park just didnt hit off with me. Hence why I am not or never will pick spotlights, due to my pickyness in certain aspects of a park.

Congrats to the runner-ups though. So close to Spotlight............. yet so far.......................

Geez, what a cheezy line that is

EDIT- Just wondering, why wasnt Sanctuary given credit for AI? Didnt he help make it?

Wonderful parks all of you.

OZONE: Isn't "Anteayer" the day before yesterday?
Thats not what it said in the English-to-Spanish dictionary. lol, yes i cheated. I dont know if your spanish or whatever, i just put down what it said in the book.

And sorry, Harikiri, if I offended you by misspelling things. It wasn't my intention(although it probably would have been if I had known it bothered you).

About the other two parks:
I was glad to see Posix release somthing, in fact, i still am glad he did. It was a very nice park, the egyption section was best followed closely by the Western section. I didn't care for Sactuary's section though.

EQMR was ok, not quite what I like (i'm refering to those bare rocks mostly). but still pretty good, better than the last everquest park.

Back corner of the park. It was called Majectic Palace (or something like that, sorry the name escapes me at the moment). There were tiles almost exactly the same hight, but different colors, making the stature of the building look bad.

No, I just thought that's what we learned.

Anteayer is cooler then Ayer anyway.

Butterfinger: Four corner parks are the coolest! Watch as I foolishly defend The Happy Place out of desperation!

atlas infinitum- per area..

JÃ¶tunnheim- mmm, an interesting area by itself, looking half decent imo.. the problem starts with Utgardloki.. the coaster is just plain ugly and horrible to look at .. HiminbiÃ¶rg was done nicely..

Mount Buffalo- surprisingly nice. Boulder Rush wasnt spectacular, the flowers overused, but i luv everything else of this area, the architecture, landscaping, and specially the theatre (Tropico has one of those.. kinda.. )

Sludge City- tho the coaster was nice i really didnt enjoy this area... that little something wasnt there for me...

Arabiyah as-Sa'udiyah- Phaistos.. if u hadnt but it in brackets that it was made by x, i wouldve said it looked a hella lot like an xsector coaster the section was nice, and had a decent atmospheree but i really wasnt amazed by it at all..

mmm.. i was in a critical mood today.. ill leave those otehr two for anoter time period..

congrats u guys

Amazing I have seen all Parks before so they all now what I thought about them.

Posix ans sanctuary park was wicked I loved Mountian Buffalo.
Thanks for letting me build a coaster in the park.

Ozones park really amazed me aswell. Great themed areas and architecture.

PA park was also good. I seen this from the beginning. I loved Mansion Majestic. great area.

These all look good from the screenshots, but will NE ever break out of the RCT1 era?

^ Not if I can help it, and it'd be so much better if people continued with rct. Just deserting it is like ignoring your childhood because you've "moved on". It's disheartening for those who still build rct parks to have people ignore their hard work. Meh.

Anyway, I think people are taking their time with RCT2, and i'm sure there'll be a boom in parks from the sequel when the time is right. Until then, us original-players will have to try and keep you all entertained, right?

Posix - yay! I'm probably going to walk the walk and talk the talk on this one.

(other park comments edited in when I actually look at them....ie, once i've finished d/ling them...ie now....)

edit

Ozone - I thought this park was excellent in places and slightly disappointing in others. The flow of Illusions Isle wasn't present, replaced by a strange mixture of unusual themes smashed together to make the park. For that reason, I think it isn't as good as II. However, the theming in Spain and Canterville was indeed astonishing, and I thought the red vs green idea was wonderful. interesting space area, and quite well done, but I think it could have done with more red rocks. All round awesome architecture (so many coaster pieces), but you didn't use all 255 ride slots Good Job nonetheless

Prince - 127 years is a long time, and I think a lot of that time was well spent. Mirage was very cool, as was the Siege coaster (cool loop and weird round and round ending). Bald Mountan, unfortunately, sucked. The theme was boring and monotonous, the architecture uninspiring. The Mansion very nearly sucked, but was saved by the colours. I liked most of it, but would have liked more 'vertical invert' quality and less 'bored rocks' trash. Well Done

Atlas infinitum - Overall a very good park.....Not my favourite but good..
Wasn't too keen on some things but i loved the mine ride

Forest of nautica - Great work !! Although (as butterfinger said) the space area stood out it was a nice park...I think their was a bit too much grey on rooves and as paths..
I thought the entrance to two towers was great and i liked the idea of the go karts on the road !!

everquest one - Not amazing but i thought mansion majestic was lovely. Some of the bare rocks weren't too great but over treeing them would have been worse !!

Overall i think IOAH desreved spotlight just as Forest of Nautica was very close for me !

NE will never break out of the RCT1 era. From what I can see, it will be a mixed era from here on and into the future. There will be those that cannot accept RCT2, and continue with the old game, there will be ones who choose to convert entirely to RCT2, and then many will probably continue with both games. RCT1 will never die out from what I can see. Although all of my future solo parks will most likey be RCT2, that doesent mean I wont revert back to the old game now and then.

Now the fact than some have uninstalled RCT is quite stupid IMO. Certainly there will be RCT parks that you will want to d/l in the future? Right? No? Wow................

This is rather off topic though..........
