Pure incredibility! Wonderful architecture, colours, coasters, and an excellent air balloon.
what sort of stuff did you use as inspiration for this park? or is it mostly out of your head?
Turtle came up with the theme, and later he assembled a map with random inspiration images which was really helpful. RCT-wise, x-sector and Turtle were my main inspirations.
Often I was asking myself 'What would Turtle do?', but that rarely worked out. I think the only place it worked out is the small building at the bottom of this screen. I don't know why but that's one of my favourite bits in the park.
To be honest i'm not sure where the inspiration for this came from. Mostly from a random RCT3 project I once saw posted, probably. That had giant trees and an awesome landscape, with a steampunky feel. I wanted to see if you could recreate it in RCT2.
Then the first thing I tried to build was an airship. It was actually the "under construction" one with the sails made of halved wooden vertical loops. This got me really excited, and I thought it was too cool not to run with it.
It's funny, the theme and the inspiration kinda evolved with the park as we both built things we liked and wanted to keep, so by the end it maybe wasn't as cohesive a theme as it could have been. But there was so much cool stuff built that we really didn't care. Also it was the third park both of us had built that H2H season, so we were probably past caring to be honest.
RCT wise, I probably looked towards x-sector and mala, I miss the wow factor of opening up fantastical parks and exploring this completely imagined setting from inside someone's brain. You don't really get that any more.
