So Liam you're telling me that you don't find and never did find WWAP impressive or jaw-dropping?

It's a "generic amusement park". And happens to be incredibly impressive. And don't say it was impressive because it was the first thing of it's kind because that is stupid. If a submission came along on the same lines as WWAP and was just as impressive people aren't going to think oh well this is an amusement park so i'm not gonna have this win spotlight.

If a park is spotlight worthy, it doesn't matter what it is, it's still spotlight worthy.

I definitely owe you a comment on this one. It was fun watching this go up. I'm glad you continued on with it after losing all that work awhile ago. You certainly have a strength for layouts as people have said. I found the Zierer incredibly appealing for some reason. The layout was a really solid for a Tower Coaster. The wooden coasters were all great, although I think the GCI stands out above the rest. It was that great Thunderbird feel to it and does it in a pretty small height, which is nice to see. Outside of the coasters, the park was pleasant overall and I was surprised at some of the architecture detail. I think perhaps it was lacking another level of refinement that would've pushed you up to gold. I felt like there were maybe some texture issues like has been said (the Huss frisbee comes to mind) and maybe another refinement of foliage could have helped. Really, though, I think a lot of that comes in the general parkmaking process and it'll improve each time a park gets down. Up the scale and quality a bit next time and I have no doubt you can easily pull off a gold or more. Congratulations on the win.

WWAP blew me away.

That's not stupid at all.

If my previous reply was more extensive I'd have said that generic parks can be just as amazing as 'themed' parks, but with every 'generic' release the bar is raised. It's getting harder to surprise me.

When WWAP was released, I hadn't seen anything like it before. Moreover, it was innovative (interiors for example) and the execution is exceptional. WWAP raised the bar, most other post-WWAP generic parks were under the bar. I think the bar is being raised again right now by again CP6, with SF Carolina as far as I can judge.

If a submission came along on the same lines as WWAP and was just as impressive people aren't going to think oh well this is an amusement park so i'm not gonna have this win spotlight.

I think some people would think that. Again, Paradise Island got Blockbuster instead of Spotlight for a reason.

If a park is spotlight worthy, it doesn't matter what it is, it's still spotlight worthy.

True, but if it's not spotlight worthy it shouldn't get spotlight. To me spotlights aren't just amazing parks, they should be something unique/innovative too.

That is not what you originally said so that is not what i'm saying. You said that this type of park wouldn't win a spotlight and you need a different concept.

I said that it can win a spotlight.

Now, you're basically saying that it can win spotlight but the bar is being raised. Well that isn't what you originally said and by you saying that you are agreeing with me that this type of park can win a spotlight.

So technically you have taken back your original statement Which is good because what you previously said was just stupid. As I said a spotlight park is a spotlight park because of the quality, not because of it's concept. Sure concept plays a part in it but if a spotlight worthy amusement park was submitted it's not going to be turned down because it's concept is generic.

That is what i've been trying to get across.

If you take my first reply this literal, you're right.

I just wanted to bump this release topic because I had sortoff forgotten about this park, but it still remains one of my favorites, maybe some other people will download it and see how nice it is.
