excellent Eifel Tower!

But too busy imo.

Both screens look very cool, good work.

Here a pic from a mexican themed water ride for a contest:

Oh I love that! It's beautiful!

Can't wait to see the whole ride.

Turtle bringing back that classic NE style. Good to see.

Reminds me of that water ride that SFAW built just before closing... I like it a lot.

LOVE turtle.

I thought I would try showing a little coaster that I just built for the fun of it. I might add scenery and what-not later.



What do you think?

looks okay, but the way your starting that station is too square.

I quite like it, has a really nice form. Verrry sexy.

It's alright.
You completely missed a perfect oppurtunity for a station fly-through though.

Turtle, the choice of colours combined with those details makes for an amazing atmosphere. Just so good!

I'm not seeing what all the turtle fuss is about. looks rather crowded and disjointed to me.

^and that's why i love it.

Uh... Goddamn... That's excellent stuff, fucking excellent trackitecture.

I especially like the monorail in the upper right, with it's supports and the tunnel bit...

I really need to get this game back (this weekend).

Same here, I havent played at all lately, but these new screens have been pretty inspiring.

Turtle's screen is sex.

Loving the pipeline tunnel for the suspended monorail.

Honestly, I don't care for it one bit. You effectively took the cherry around which Xcoaster sculpted a mouth watering chocolate sundae, and repurposed it for your own means. The cherry wasn't necessarily his, but by using it at the same time, you've effectively cut it in half, diminishing the value of both works. That's how I see it, and I'm obviously in the minority here.

I completely didn't get that metaphor.

Turtle took my cherry?

Yeah, dude. I hear he split that shit in half.

The cherry on the chocolate sundae is a very curious thing, which is a part of every work and any form of art, one small detail in your mind that forms the basis for a perception of individual identity. It's a trait that is up for grabs but can only belong to one person at a time, a small seemingly insignificant thing on which a whole perspective can be derived. For me, the Jules Verne theme is where all of your major RCT work traits seem to connect: fantasy, Disney, science fiction, escapism, and a love for engineering. These are traits which are echoed throughout all your works to differing extents, and for me that's where all of your different themes connect and form what's in my mind, the basis for your identity through your RCT work. By using a Verne theme when you've yet to declare retirement from the game, what Turtle has done in my mind is diminish the individuality inherent in the primary point of interest in all of your work. It's true, and obvious, that Iceman has also recently used the same Verne theme, but he did so in such a manner that it calls for more comparison with VTD and had started Disneysea much earlier than either your PT2 entry or prelim, so he's effectively off the hook from such a direct comparison. I realize that it's all a matter of perspective, and others will see it differently than I do. We all look for the one small detail which drives our perspective on how we see another's work of art and how we connect all of their work together, to form a basic identity in our minds of the artist behind the work, beyond their physical appearance. I don't care to discuss it too much, because the psychology varies so much from person to person that my opinion probably has very little resemblance to that of anybody else's and sounds to them like empty noise.
