It's been over 6 months since a Concept Creation has graced the front page. It's always neat seeing a new concept creation because it makes the community realize that there is more out there than just building standard theme parks. The possibilities of RCT2 are essentially endless, and RCTNW shows us that truth with his 3rd Concept Creation since the category debuted in August of 2007. The first being Marriott's Discovery Bay Golf Resort where he gave us a small hotel surrounded by a beautiful 18 hole golf course. His second, Target Fields, took the New Element sports fans for a ride with stunning football and baseball stadiums side by side. Now, RCTNW presents Hyatt's Lake Scarlett Resort, his first 200x200 map of his 20 map project titled "Aries."

Straight up awesome. Is there a spa there? Can't tell from the SS and haven't installed 2 yet on this version of 7 (7068, installed yesterday).

Congrats and your third CC.

right.
RCTNW.
that is the worst hotel ive ever seen.
...lied sammy. (gotcha!)
that is truly spectacular.
when zoomed out fully, the side facing the lake is really, really pleasant. the curve on the roof is sensual
pretty majr waterslides and ventalation systems.
just to be anal, im gonna inform you youve forgotten one tiny brick on one of the stps to the beach haha.
managed to glitch yourself a little stall there haha.
really, this is some pretty epic parkmaking.
better than i could have predicted. the only complaint i have is the pools are abit funny.
the roads are seamless.
you must have the patience of a saint.
a structure of that magnitude must have taken about 13 yeaars.

im gonna shuttup now, and congratulate you on this accolade.
congratulations on this accolade.

That's the coolest looking hotel I've seen so far! Judging from the screens, I think the pool could have been a bit larger, based off of the size of the hotel. I'll be downloading this as soon as I can, congrats James, this thing's a beauty!

james, your routine, system and productivity make you one of the most special parkmakers ever. what always gets me about your work is how it is so well planned out and always looking "correct", in a way. you never doubt anything you see. i think that's because you transfer such a high percentage of real life inspiration into the game. i wish i would have that ability.

once again, sorry for the long wait. we're aware it shouldn't take that long.

can't wait to see more of project aries in the future

I just unhinged my jaw at the sight of the hotel. I have never, ever, EVER seen anything like that. I am just speechless. That's all I can say.

Brent – Yes there us but it’s an indoor SPA! Thanks

SSSammy – You noticed the glitched stall also. Have no idea how it got there or how to get rid of it. Good think you can’t see it. Glad you liked it

Todd – Yea, I thought about that after it was finished. I tried to fit too much in that space. I did take not of that for the next resort though Thanks

Phil – You are correct in that I’m inspired by real life structures but have a real problem with non real life structures as I often hit mental blocks. I’m finding that out with the parks of late. Hopefully I’ll get the parking map finished so it can be submitted.

ClockworkMyr – Thanks. Glad you liked it

gee – Thanks for the write up. You captured exactly what I was going for!

As for the map, I was very happy with several aspects of the end result. I want to thank gee once again for his road objects. Most would not waste building time or object slots on these however, they have become vital to just about every map on this project and is one of the key elements to this project. Being able to have curves and diagonal roads really helps it from being forced IMHO. I also want to thank Havingfun for the dark tarmac paths as they too allow me the flexibility in the roads. Lastly, thanks again to HPG for the kick ass logo. I love it!

All in all, this is my signature resort to date as I’ve always wanted to do something to this scale and although very tall, it still fits the rct scale. It reminds me of Vegas in some ways. That said, there are plans for an even taller resort in the future as I’m hoping to hit the 50 story mark. However the economy is placing that on hold

Again, many thanks to those that have enjoyed it.

this a superb addition to NE. Very cool and extremely well done.
Very realistic and its nice to see something different on the site. Keep up the good work.

On a slighly more sadistic note:
I'm sorry for abusing your map. but this is by far the most fun i've had with the remove scenery tool in a long time
Removing vast swaths of land and taking out a wing of a structure that big seems to have a very calming effect

To anyone who cares, here's another picture of it. I don't know why, but I think this view shows the might of the whole area and it looks cool with the hotel in it.

That's a cool view! James, I'd suggest changing the land underwater right in the center of the large map. I don't know if it's because of water depth, or land type, but it looks strange. Do you know where I'm talking about?

I love the handicap parking spots you included for the hotel! Nice touch!

Yet another amazing piece of work. Only one minor "who really cares" complaint, i think the vents were too detailed. It's my belief that those types of things should be very basic to show they're there, 'cause, who wants to annalyse a ventalation system... No biggie though, thanks once again for something that will bring myself and everyone else enjoyment for a long, long time to come.

One thing though, ever get tired of the beach and palm tree setting? It always works yes, but maybe something a little different in the future which takes you out of your element a bit, but could be alot of fun. I really enjoyed your forest/ mountain resorts, so... for your next 1,000 map project, how about something in a desert area? WHO HERE WANTS TO SEE JAMES CREATE HIS OWN VERSION OF DUBAI??

Once again James, you manage to build one of the most amazing hotels in the community. Quick question, was it inspired by the Contemporary, cause I can definitely see where if it was.

Roomie – lol. If that brings you enjoyment, then I’m glad I was able to provide it. One of these days, I’m going to detail the rooms inside.

Alpengeistfan1 - Thanks.

Todd - I know what you are talking about and I think it had something to do with the actual graphic when I created it. I do plan on fixing it though

TC - That was my first attempt at ventilation systems and I know what I need to change in the future. As for Dubai, ummmmmmm...... maybe? As for the treeing, I really hate the trees in RCT and I find myself leaning more towards the palms. That said, I am trying to vary it a bit more in the next set of maps. Thanks

Dark Horse - A tiny bit, yes however, most of the inspiration came from the South Beach Resort on the Marriott Project. In fact, I'm surprised no one has dinged me on that as there is a huge similarity to it.

Again, thanks to everyone how took the time to look at it.

I think 'ridiculous' is the only word for this lol. It's an insanely large building, which is pulled off spectacularly well and impressively. It's hard to say I 'liked' it as it's obviously not using RCT as it was 'intended', but I can appreciate how amazing this is. It looks particularly great when zoomed out and especially on the overall resort map posted above. But I really can't get over at the ridiculous scale of it! (Still not sure about the teal paths tho ) Great job tho.
