I love how the coasters of this park dominate their surroundings.
Plus the atmosphere is amazing... -

Anyways, this is the best park under construction from what I can tell (then again, there are some I think might be better, but I haven't seen anything of them... ) Wonderful work Turtle, and Steve too. -

Well, I still have about a lot of problems with it, far too many to mention here, but their forgivable when the work is this good, I feel. -

Yes, I will, when I have the time to write them down! Perhaps later today? Unless my mom steals the Windows PC away so I can't do anything RCT-related, as she's done the past 3 afternoons! -

I agree with Marshy on the point that the archy is quite small. But, it is beautiful. And that coaster looks like it has an incredible layout. -

[font="arial"]Hmm, the area i never really liked that much, i mean yeah it's all good but it just doesnt fit with the rest of the park imo, the architecture is way too small.
Still good rct though, just not my type.[/font] -

I agree that the architecture is TOO quaint here. I think at least one large building in there would give the area more substance, but still, this is really good albeit very typical steve stuff. The coaster looks absolutely fantastic. great support work.
I'm getting preminitions of another spotlight page -

Where exactly would I put a large building there?
There would be no purpose to it, and it would seem incredibly out of place.
Thanks though. -

I think that's my least favorite screen of the area, sorry Steve. It really doesn't fit with the rest of the screens, where the buildings actually looked like buildings. The coaster looked nice I guess even though I'm sick of people painting the pipe supports with different colors just to look good when in reality it is so incredibly impractical. I don't know, its just that you've been improving and then you let steve build in the park seemingly just to get an area out of the way, and no offense to steve but it really looks like something he would make half a year ago, the flowers and architecture and B&M and really everything. I mean even with that "space rings" ride, why would any park put a ride like that in the location it is in the screen? Why would a park that seems to put as much thought into landscaping and atmosphere put something like that in anywhere? Why is there a fenced in statue?
When Timothy Cross was building a park a while ago, he asked me if I would do a guest coaster in the park (and I was extremely honored) but then after some time passed, he decided against it because he had a plan, a whole story in fact, and that he felt that the park would be better off straight from his imagination, which is imo ranks with mala and ect. I thought and still think he's totally right, if you have a strong enough vision then you don't need anybody to fill in space, in fact there's usually never enough of it. It almost seemed as though this was one of those parks, but I guess I was wrong? -

Phatage, while I may not agree with you at all, I still respect you for saying it. Things are by no means final here, so posting comments like yours help. The reason that it looks like Steve built it a while ago is because he did. I happen to really like this area, and if I didn't think it was an asset to the park, it wouldn't be here.
Please refrain from judging the park as a whole from one screen. -

I like the screen a lot. Everytime I look at it I see something and I like it even more. Keep it up, and I see a second spotlight coming... -

I don't think it's so much an issue of this area/section being any worse than the others, it's just built in a completely different style, obviously to be expected when a different parkmaker is brought onto the scene. The screen in itself is beautiful. The small architecture really works, the supports are stellar and the landscaping is exceptional. It all comes together very nicely. Having seen the park in game, I know that the whole section continues in this consistant quality. However, that did not stop it from being my least favourite area of the park. As I said, not because it's necesarily any worse than the quality of the rest of the park, but because it is different. I think if Turtle was to have made this, knowing how he would have wanted it, he would have also made small architecture. I don't think that is the issue here...that "Steve made it so the architecture is small so doesn't fit in". But if Turtle were to make it, I can imagine the architecture, and in fact, the general feel being totally different. Better? Debatable, but different, and different in a manner that would fit better into the park. With that said, I don't see it as a major issue that this section is different to the rest of the park, because I, personally, welcome variation within a park, it avoids it becoming somewhat monotonous(sp?) although if Turtle were to have made it all, I'm sure it wouldn't be monotonous But in a way, I have to agree with Phatage. I didn't really see much point in Steve coming in and making this (by the way, this is written with no intention of offense to Steve at all, i would say it for any parkmaker) when Turtle simply has the ability to come in and build it himself, and we all know that it would be of a quality to match the rest of the park (which is immense, for any of you who hadn't guessed). Also, I must admit to being a hypocrite in some aspects, because in Soul Calibur, I've had Kumba and VooDoo both make me a coaster, and Janus to make me a rapids. But I feel that is for different reasons because I physically couldn't build Dueling 4D or a merged launch coaster etc. K, I'm getting bored of writing now, you get the jist.

I don't think he was...he was comparing it to other screens.Please refrain from judging the park as a whole from one screen.
Anyway, I don't really like the teeny little huts and stuff but I can see there's not really any other option...but I agree about it being a bit of a weird change from the rest of the park. This park looks like the next RoB from the screens, but RoB wouldnt' have been the same if it had had one weird area in it. -
