    Ville des Fleuves

    Remember back in the day when the vast majority of parks were made in LL? Remember back when parks were peepable, using single-wide paths to create scenario-istic fantasy worlds rather than multi-wide paths to simulate realistic parks? Yeah, most people probably don't these days, but here's a park that harkens back to the First Golden Age of RCT. From a golden parkmaker of RCT, Gutterflower, comes Ville des Fleuves, a crazy park that's not the best looker but definitely a fun little viewer.

    This park kicks some serious tail. Like all Roomie parks it is vastly entertaining and fun to watch. None of the coasters are exactly perfect (brakes being the main culprit for many of them), but they are all well worth the extra half minute or minute spent watching them. I especially enjoyed the hypercoaster's area as the cliffside buildings were beautifully pulled off and the coaster never seemed to end. More comments to come. Great job Roomie.

    I used to write guides to this guys parks when i was like 12.

    So, how do all the people who don't have LL see the park? Can we see a screen or two?

    I personnally liked Snowdrop and Arnos Springs more than this park, but I guess it's because of the rather flashy and light feeling VDF has.
    The coasters were a bit too tangled and crazy to my likings, but there sure were some nice ideas (Magnum-style turnaround on a beemer, Zamperla Disk'O and the double Kingda Ka-ish loading station Vertical Insanity has).

    Nice job though and congrats ; )

    I had the honour of seeing this park before its release, it definitly deserves this runner-up/SRU spot. Whilst the architecture was not too detailed or fancy, the landscaping and the rides in the park certainly made up for it. My favourite coaster is the 'Vertical Insanity', its speed and flow is what every rocket coaster should be like- i hope Thorpe Park has one similar in 2006!

    It seems you have thought a lot about peep accesability and the maintenance of running the park, which is rare these days- especially in RCT2. The wild, tangled conglomeration of twisted track in the park is also something you don't see much of. Being so many rollercoasters, i spent ages looking at the park, and in my opinion, if the viewer looks at the park for a long time- you have accomplished a good park. Great stuff Gutterflower- inspires me to try LL... again...;)

    This park looks fantastic. I also cant wait for the other LL parks in the Ad. District to be released. I just hope the Downloads of 13 goes up, its a shame if these types of parks are being pushed away.

    I really enjoyed looking at this park.
    The style was very unique compared to all the other parks today, and that what made me enjoy it, it was different. I really liked Vertical Insanity. It was a very twisted cool layout.

    Though there is not as much detail in this park as others, I think this is a very well deserved Runner-Up. Well done, Roomie!

    SWEET!!! A RUNNER-UP!!!

    Downloading right now...

    Runner Up of the Year so far!

    Congrats Gutter.

    BTW Cork, I think you should post the park page link on the front page, it would be alot easier.

    I agree Titan. I went to the main site and I was like, "What is going on. There is no logo, no link to the runner up page. No nothing. :'( "

    But then I saw that Corkscrewed posted it.

    crap, I KNEW I forgot something! :it:

    It's been forever since I posted a regular Runner Up. :lol:

    About to come less rare! ;)

    Nice win Roomie. Don't know when I'll get a chance to see the park in-game (downloads & LL are rarities these days :p ), but the screens look darn good. I think our styles have a lot in common, ask cork!... :lol:

    I didn't like it, at all. Not the theming, not the coasters, not the architecture.


    It seems I have to look hard at most of the coasters to find what's so terrific about them, because they're mostly a mess, honestly. I like the fact that it's LL, peep-accessible, not incredibly realistic, and it somewhat looks like a park i'd want to make yet its not great for what it is. Its even a personal step down, probably, though i've never loved any of your parks since Arnos. Bleh, i wish someone'd come out and make a peep-accessible fantasy park that looks a little more groundbreaking and well thought out than this. Wait...

    ^ LMAO

    Don't worry... it's Blitz's fault Anti's taken longer than WDE, right? :D

    ^ LMAO

    Don't worry... it's Blitz's fault Anti's taken longer than WDE, right?  :D

    Longer than WDE? Is that even physically possible?


    On a related note, I heard on the radio this morning that paleontologists in Lebanon have uncovered new evidence which dates the early beginnings of WDE to 12,000 BC. This is quite a change from the earlier date of 3500 BC, but most experts in the field admitted that the news didn't come as much of a shock.

    ^ Ah, but a recent update to that story shows that it was actually started and nearly complete 65 million years ago before that damn asteroid came in and screwed it all up. So the little bits that were left were picked up a few thousand years back when man came to the point to seeing the need to such amusement.

    Oh and um, yeah... Haven't looked at the park yet...

    EDIT: Well Roomie I think it's great that you can theme really pretty now and the atmosphere in this park is on par or even better than Arnos Springs. However I'm a bit dissapointed in the coasters. The hyper (which you're a legend at) was excellent, as were the two under track coaster (the invert and the suspended), but the rest were overbraked and overlengthed. I guess I've just some to like my coasters fast, like Mala fast or faster... And if they're not up to that pace they sure has hell better be pulling off some sweet moves, and I didn't see that a lot here. However I think this park showcases the best architecture and theming that you (RR) have ever created and the landscaping was actually smooth and less dated. Some of the details, like the giant waterfall and the little pier really stick out as something that keeps the park from becoming part of a massive blob of bore. Oh and three of the 5 areas were beautiful (the enterence, the one with the suspended and the one with the hyper, sorry I'm bad with names). Basically loose the breaks, shorten the rides and maybe give the lift hill another 3-4 units and keep up everything else and you might have yourself a (Spot) winner.

    One thing's for sure, WDE definitely predates Jesus.
