It seems the tone around New Element lately has been LLLL. It's a rare occurrence for someone as new to the community as jusmith to pick up RCTLL. Some newer players try it to see what the fuss is all about and switch back to RCT2, but for jusmith it seemed to stick. Recently drafted in the number 35 slot in New Element's upcoming contest Head-2-Head 5 by the Whzz Kids, he seems excited to show the community what he can do as a double threat player. Commanding a charming style in both RCTLL & RCT2, he debuted at New Element with his first RCTLL design Monsoon back in August of 2008, he quickly let everyone in the community know he wasn't fooling around by dropping hints of a large scale RCTLL solo, Through the Ages. Throughout the months, a side project popped up to give him a break from his solo. Finally he presents to us his highly anticipated design, Tomb Raider.

guess I'll kick this off...

Very nice Design jusmith... it was awesome to see that you pulled off a peepable park as well as advancing your style. I have to admit that this wasn't exactly what I was expecting based on the screens you showed but it was still really cool. There were some sacrifices that you had to make to get it to work but the end result is well worth the effort imo. The rides were all very cool and well done imo as well as the surrounding landscaping. It was full of life and very atmospheric. My one gripe was the lack of a very effective station for the coaster... I think you could have done a lot more there and the backlot stuff was nice but sort of distracting to the rest of the park imo.

You have improved your game amazingly fast and I can't wait to see you come up with next.

Based off of the overview, I love the use of open space. I'm a big fan of open space with the mowed grass scattered about. I was really impressed with Monsoon (voted it best LL design last year). I'll be downloading this later on!

Man, I have GOT to get my LL working!

Looks great from the overview Jusmith. You and a couple other people around here have me actually pissed off that I can't get LL to run. I'd just love to see some of these in game.

Nice work and, from what I can see......a well-deserved accolade.

Superb. I really get the feeling this was more of an abandoned area than a design, even though i'm pretty sure it wasn't- can't wait for something full-scale from you. loved the peepability. the layout got a little awkward around the corkscrews, but looking at more recent intamin stuff [maverick in particular] that seems to be the way it is. The only other awkward bit for me was the orange roof-sandstone fence buildings... they just didn't look right. The ride designs were fantastic, loved all the details, amazing landscaping and foliage. Truly an excellent design; i thought it was scored at least a point below what it deserves.

Great design. I really like the trees, they look really nice being fenced in with grass around them. I've always been mostly about aesthetics, and I really liked the look and feel of the park in that area. Looking forward to more from you.

I enjoyed this map a lot. I thought the coaster was a bit disjointed here and there, probably due to it being so spread out, but I think it worked decently here. I didn't get the Intamin feeling so much, but I can understand that's what you were going for. As a whole, the map worked really well and being peepable was great. One of my favorite parts was the coaster queue-- I really liked how you brought it to the the ride and themed it all. You're stuff is certainly really great. It's definitely made me appreciate LL more then I used to. Keep it up.
