You should post these other screens seperately too, they deserve the attention. And it's amazing how fast you made this park, I didn't think that was possible anno 2015. Such a large and detailed park in only months. Most of us would need years. And spotlight? I'm actually not ruling that possibility out. Lagom, you are a wonderful person and I hope you make another park after this.
I think you should think hard before submitting it.
With a little bit more polish you could have a genuine contender for spotlight.
If you aren't all that bothered what accolade you get then by all means send it in right away, but if you just work at it for a little while longer, redo some parts, you can grab the big one.
Not quite sure if I'm getting the spotlight vibe yet. Its in the ballpark but not quite there. Comparing this to Thorpe there is still a bit left to be desired in terms of foliage and architecture, but its not to far off.
yeah g force but Thorpe is a high tier spotlight. not every spot should be 90%+
The last 5 RCT2 spotlights have been 90% plus, you have to go all the way back to 2010 to find a below 90% RCT2 spotlight. If this would be a spotlight contender, it would probably be rated between 80-85% like Legacies. However, Legacies is a huge park, where this relatively small. Sure it could contend, but I just dont see it at the current time. Definitely an amazing park, but Spotlight quality? Not sure I'm going to say that quite yet.
Spotlight isn't about being the highest quality, its about a park 'feeling' like a spotlight.
A spotlight does not need to be a ground breaker, it does not need to be the best park we have ever seen and it does not have to better or equal recent spotlights. A park should be individually judged on whether it is right to be a spotlight or not.
Any panelist who thinks that a spotlight should be of 90% or higher or along those lines seriously needs to rethink their position as a panelist.
I looove this and could easily see myself voting spotlight. But i agree with Louis, if you flesh it out with really legit surroundings that would be amazing
This recreation is about to be finished in a few days.
I have about four black holes in the map right now. If anyone would like to help me to get rid of them it would be much appreciated.

Since this is my last screenshot before I finish this, i thought i could add a couple more in here.
This is the kids area. It's based on how it used to look like in 2010. It's pretty much how i remember it from my childhood, with a few exceptions
For last, the Helix station. No lift hill. Instead a drop right down from the platform into a modified corkscrew.

I didn't really feel impressed by this project until this last batch of screens...seriously nice stuff..

You better import the Helix soundtracks into this. Instaspotlight if you do. (ok well maybe not)
I really fucking like this stuff, the turn supports on Balder are brilliant, Helix's station is appropriatly hideous, the kids area is nice.
It seems like you are really tearing through this, how long have you been working on it?

@csw - Thank you, glad you like it.
@Austin55 - The Helix soundtrack is a must. I will try to get it in there for sure.
I'm glad you like it too!
My first save is from the 30th of January, 2015, but the research work must have started in late 2014.
This is what it looked like from the beginning:
This is an update from today:
Alright i'm out. Thank you once again for all your wonderful comments and helpful input!

I love how everything looks clean with the right amount of details. Especially the area around the ferris wheel has an amazing atmosphere.

I'd merge the Giovanola hyper trains onto Balder. It's a much better representation of an Intamin Pre Fab Train.
