    How would I follow up my NE Spotlight winner Dimensions: Realms of Creation? I don't think anyone would guess id entry a Road Rally at RCT2.com (RCTSpace), but thats what I did.

    It finished in a close first just beating out an entry by Wolfman and K0ng (Two pretty good parkmakers over their). Overall there were 9 entries so I was very happy to place first in what was likely the biggest contest turnout ever at RCT2.com?

    Here's a screen:

    Your best work to date. Looks like you're finally learning how to organize and unify your work.

    Im glad you guys all like it so much. When I build like this what I am really doing is mocking Cork's style tho. He's the best at tossing up walls and making them look good and I learned how to do it like him when we worked on AC. Also I work really fast like this and this park was made in less then 24 total hours.

    So yeah im glad you all like it even if to me it's kinda "meh" however I loved the coaster and like a day befor I decided to make it floorless I see an ad. on TV saying Sheikra is floorless and I was like "fuck... they stole my idea!" oh and who liked the surprise underground ending ;)

    Kumba :birthday:

    ^Actually, Sheikra becoming floorless was planned since Griffon opened, so you stole their idea. Anyway, I liked this, sorta reminded me of the desert area in DRC. The layout could've been a bit better, though.

    Now, Kumba, from the relative simplicity it was clear that you did not need much time for this one - simplicity compared to the small and intricate things you invent in sour solo´s-.....but that did not make it less nice and balanced and lovely for a RR.

    About `mocking` Cork´s style: can be that he is the best at tossing up walls and making them look good, but he also has a great style and skill of making architecturally sound buildings with also a lot of fantasy into them, as well as very adventurous ride-ideas.

    I don´t say you don´t have that, on the contrary!!! (although I really value Cork´s architectural skills much higher), but at least in this little park that was not shown.
    Still it is a beautiful little park with a very good Egyptian feel.

    So I would say, you absolutely succeeded in making a truly lovely Egytian RR, but I really don´t think you succeeded in `mocking` Cork´s style... :ph34r:

    what the hell is a casum.

    Something I though was a word...

    The meaning I wanted would represent a big hole in the ground, but I could not not find the right spelling so I did it phonetically.

    Kumba, don't you have a dictionary?
  • Milo%s's Photo
    From the screens it looks pretty nice. Everything is real clean and it ties together well. Looks like some cool ride concepts are in there too.

    Kumba, don't you have a dictionary?

    I think he prefers having everyone else have a big debate over stuff like this than actually bothering to spell-check. Someone needs to be Kumba's posting editor.

    Looks like a very interesting park, but very like the desert area in DRM... will take a look at the park soon

    Oh, CHASM! I thought he was talking about Casey Casum, you know, that old radio guy...
