    eyeamthu1, thanks for taking the time to write that long reply, really interesting to hear what people think of it. It's almost vindicating to get mixed reviews after looking at the same park for so long... and I can definitely understand your problems with the park, but i'm really glad you liked the invert! I spent a lot of time on it. Well, I spent a lot of time on everything.

    The only thing missing where indeed the custom supports, I even think with custom supports this would have made spotlight...

    Overall it looks SOOOOOO amazing and that logo is very kickass

    I think custom supports would've killed the atmosphere here. It looks fine to me.

    It's good to know a park could have such a good effect without custom supports.

    Jep, this is the kind of park I always wanted to make. Theres so much love for the game in it.

    Custom supports are overrated.

    This one was hit and miss for me. Ive never heard of or played myst so i didnt understand the themes. The main problem for me though was why didnt you do the things that you normally do with your RCT work? The things that people generally stick to like custom supports,custom path ramps etc etc. People do these things because the rct standard version look like crap and i think these things dragged the park down. These extra considerations are all things that add to an atmosphere be them reaslistic or not

    BTW why did you support some things and not bother with the rest? e.g you did the monorail at the entrance and parts of the wooden supports over paths. If you were choosing to do no custom supporting why support them?

    Okay, watched it ingame now and I have to say, that I liked the park more, than I have thought.

    The entrance-area was well done, had a nice atmosphere, but was a bit detail-less. What wasnt so good, was the foliage, but it still was okay. The grey bridge looked out-of-place in my opinion and didnt fit. (the colour of it, not the setting)
    Using no custom supports on your coasters worked really good here. Moreover your coaster layouts were pretty good.
    What I loved so much was the waterfall, everything just fit so great there! :D

    All in all it was a lower-gold park imo. ;)

    my vote would have been:

    14

    Hope to see some new work of you soon! :)

    People do these things because the rct standard version look like crap to them. Others might actually like the look of the original supports, even though they are not realistic or anything. Obviously the default supports create a different atmosphere than custom ones, but its up to everyone to decide what he likes, and why shouldn't you use both types in one park - gives you a wider palette.

    ^Agreed maybe some of us are scared to move out of the "NE style" so we believe we have to have the custom supports and the extras like RRP talked about.

    i dont see how its ignorant or 'NE style'. Im assuming you think i was suggesting toons support pack which is great for realism. Theres other ways to create supports though. I think he could have added to the themes by supporting creatively. I against default not for following trends but i think the trends still look better than default

    I personally think custom path ramps and steps look shit.

    Anyway, I liked this and didn't like this. There were parts that were brilliant, but there were rides lacking etc. It didnt hold my attention all that long. Which is a shame cause I love your style and your work.

    rrp, just out of curiosity, do you like a custom support system that doesn't use Toon's supports, like in Mont Saint Michel (scroll down to bottom)?

    I agree with rrp though, that a non-Toon-support system for the coasters would really add a lot to this park and could've created an awesome atmosphere..
    Like for example how I did it in MSM or for example how metro supported voodoo's dueling 4D's in Soul Calibur (scroll down to middle)..
    I think these support systems are great though, and add a lot to the atmosphere and theming of a park.. I also think they are not that unrealistic.. Just because we didn't see them yet in real life doesn't mean they can't exist..

    Anyway, I enjoyed the park turtle, really nice to see some more work of you! Too bad I haven't played the games, so I didn't get all of the details you put in (such as those air balloons)

    @six frags: ye I do like them particularly the Mont saint Michel ones as they fit well with the overall cathedral theme the other example you mentioned are too dark and blend with the path and land type. In both instances they do feel a bit bulky though but thats mainly due to object types of the time

    Just because we didn't see them yet in real life doesn't mean they can't exist

    Exactly. I’ll always prefer realism but feasible realism is just as good imo

    Just thought this was interesting... Those air balloons have nothing to do with the games, I just thought they were quite cool!

    Also, regarding the custom support issue that has sprung up... I think it just comes down to the fact that I don't enjoy making custom supports. They can look good, but they take me ages to make. And i'd rather spend my time doing something else!

    If you did enjoy, would you use be the old fat supports, b&m supports or custom ones a la Mont Saint Michel?
