Description
This is a park I made for a Reddit contest last year. The park features a three coasters, plus a zipline, skycoaster, SCAD tower, and rafting.
All three are functional but the SCAD tower and the rafts sometimes take a while to return to their start point (via an underground track), so you may have to speed up the game to see these run. The rafts take three distinct lines down the river.
This park is unlikely to open in vanilla because of the corrupt elements (though I can't remember if I ever tested it). - 1 fan Fans of this park

Knoebels may have been the first park on the site to feature mixed trains, but this park was made before Knoebels.

I'm really happy to see this released here.
Any park made by X7123M3-256 and Otsdarva is guaranteed to feature amazing hacks and cool new things and this park didn't disappoint in that regard. The SCAD tower is great, the Zipline is cool and the Skycoaster is really well done and the Raft Shuttle... god damn.
That said, this park doesn't just get by on gimmicks. Sidewinder is probably the most realistic "Iron Horse Conversion" type RMC I've seen in the game. The layout is good, not great... but the aesthetics are brilliant. It doesn't look like tubular steel track at all.
Steel Wing is great and I love the interaction with the surroundings. Rockfall and the area around it are the weakest things in the park but they're not bad by any stretch, just a bit plain. I do like the layout though, mainly the dive off the midcourse.
Overall I liked this a lot. It reminded me a bit of Calico Canyon so I can definitely relate to it and it's definitely a style I enjoy. 60% from me.

Yes, this is a Reddit contest entry from a year ago. I'm submitting it now because several people in the other thread suggested I did.

It says so in the description.
Anyway, my review is basically a copy of Bill's so I'll save you all the trouble of reading it. I think the zipline was my favorite part, and I also enjoyed the raft rides

I love the setting you've placed this park in. You did a great job on the landscape though you went off with the waterfall (water that stops falling halfway in the air on the sides?!). Foliage isn't that bad either but needed other shades.
The coasters are solid, the RMC is by far my favorite one. That first drop is crazy! I do think the supports would look better if you used just the normal wooden track beneath the steel overlay track, but that is just me.
I think you could have done more with the entrance and the first half of the park, there's just too much path there. Overall it's a nice little park in a great landscape. I'd rate this as a bronze.

Great park concept, I love landscapes like this.
I'll try to give the park a better look over once able.

Really enjoyed this map, the landscape is amazing.
It was unrefined in some places but overall it looked good.
I think you could have themed things a bit better.
Coaster's color could also have been better I think, particularly for the RMC browness that contrasts a bit too much in my opinion.

I like this as a little showcase of all the custom trains you've made. the landscaping and layouts are entertaining and mostly well done. there is a bit of a path overload and the structures aren't much to speak about. but its good all up. would love to see the park itself composed with a bit more care, but I get what you were going for.
