    What a great Idea for a park.

    It looks really cool and furturistic.

    I like the Hurricane Hunter, the idea to remove the roof is quite good :)

    This looks phenomenal, and I love the concept. Look forward to viewing it in game

    Thanks everyone and yeah, Tolsimir chipped in with some Scientific formulas I stashed in a few spots, thanks for that. Russ, thanks for the great video review, glad I was able to be online to watch some of it live.

     

    I had guessed a 87% score and not enough yes votes for NE Spotlight, so not at all disappointed by this score, which actually tops all H2H7 parks. Also all 80+ votes is pretty rare, quite proud of that consistency. I kinda wish that we had just made it into a fuller park right after the end of H2H4. It would be nice to have another NE Spotlight to go along with DRC and kinda-sorta-once-then-never-again Bayfront Parc :p

     

    I know this is a very detailed park, but I am looking forward to more feedback. I mean 10 years worth of work guys!

    Every time I open this park I discover something new. The submarine ride was by far my favorite part among other parts such as the use of trackitecture for the climbing gym and the weather exhibit. I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but when the ghost cars go over the keyboard the glitching looks like the keys are being pressed. Regardless if that's just a happy coincidence or not, the effect is really cool. Btw, why isn't the orange "i" in the physics letter sculpture capitalized?

    Truly a fantastic park, with the highest ideas-to-area ratio I've ever seen!

     

    However, my thoughts basically echo what many others have said, in that I wish this was expanded further. There are so many ideas packed in here that some aren't given the space they need. The content alone is what gives it a high score, but a larger map and an opportunity to really showcase the details and quirks would've pushed this into the 90+.

     

    Following on from this, I also feel that some ideas didn't come across as well as they could have. The Schrödinger's Cat faces - perfect. They were clear and easily recognisable. But I recall you posting the rock/paper/scissors/lizard/Spock detail as a separate screen once, and it took people a lot of guessing and clues before it was figured out. Granted, once you see it it's pretty clever, but I feel that if it takes that much working out, it's not doing its job properly. In cases like this, I think a little expansion and tidying up would really sell it better, but again I assume this was all due to the space restrictions of the park (and this thought applies for some other bits of the park too).

     

    Overall, I loved looking at this, as there was always something new to see. It's great to see it finished after so long, and I only hope you give any future projects the due space to properly show off the ideas behind them.

     

     

    - apologies for the lateness of this... I meant to do it much sooner.

    Congratulations with the gold and finish a work of 10 years. Also thank you for including me in it :p  The park is very overwhelming, every time I open it there's something new to see. The space area is my favorite one, love how you did the black holes.

    I was really torn between 85 and 90 for this park. On one hand it's so full of fantastic ideas and the level of passion, enthusiasm and fun shines through. The execution of individual elements is great too, there are some really beautiful rides, sculptures and architecture. Unfortunately because of the map size and lack of breathing room the bigger picture is a tad awkward and unattractive. It's really hard to write a review for this park which isn't just a list of all the details but I'm going to point out a few of my favourite parts anyway:

     

    -The submarine ride. Great execution with the red blood cells. When the sub sped up to race the sperm I lol'd.

    -The escaped lab rats ride was perfectly themed, such a wonderful fit for a wild mouse! (though I wasn't too hot on the checkerboard floor, more subtle tiles would have been better)

    -Tree of creation was great with all the varied cars and just generally it was a really well executed giant tree. Most of the time giant trees look crap.

    -All the rocket/satelite/lander sculptures in the space area were brilliant. The playground in particular was inspired and felt very believable for a science park.

    -Black hole was my favourite coaster - great to see one of these rides that isn't linear/flat. Makes me want to try building one with some different elements merged in.

    -Climbing wall is the best execution I've seen yet. Also love the Gieser/teacups ride in this area.

    -Chemistry sign.. holy shit that's a good sign.

    -DNA sculptures are totally over the top but amazing.

     

    There's too many great details to list to be honest. Overall the creativity in this park is amazing. As I said before, what let it down a tad was the cramped composition. Sometimes the colours were a little jarring too. I went with a 90 score in the end though because of the pure fun factor and the naive wildness this park has. It's not highly polished realism but balls to the wall energy and creativity. Fantastic work guys and congrats on the gold & great score.

    This is such a kumba park that it's not even funny. Who needs area transitions, tasteful architecture, or composition in general when you can pack a 70^2 park with as much shit as possible? Luckily that "shit" is brilliant, and even though your philosophy and ideals of fantasy in general i completely disagree with, it's hard to deny the quality of this work.

    Sorry for being late... I finally have a computer that can handle this park. Better late than never, I guess.

    This park is insane, absolutely insane, but in a good way. Amazing ideas everywhere. It’s incredible how you guys managed to get so much in there. How you did it, is beyond me.

    I don’t know where to start but the first thing I noticed was the periodic table. It’s so well made and looks so good. Also nice that peeps can walk on it.

     

    The Geyser Gushers was nice too, so was the stairs down, with the giant amethyst.
     

    I think my favourite ride is the Body Voyage; the red blood cells, the heart, the blood, the sperms, and the egg… So many great ideas!

    Obviously Black Hole, is another great ride. Love the entrance even more. The loop really works well here.

    Few other rides that made my jaw drop were the centrifuge and Jetpack Demo. So, so, good!

     

    There are so many great ideas in this park, and you guys did an amazing job with it. I wouldn’t mind if the park was a bit bigger, and more spread out, but it’s not really a big issue to be honest. The more I look at it, the less the chaos bothers me.
     

    I’m sure I’ll be going back to this park over and over again, and for each time I’m sure I’ll find something that I haven’t seen before.
     

    Good job!
