I'm with Ride6 on this one. It just doesn't seem to be up to the same level of skill or detail as your other areas. I mean, hell, I could probably pull off something almost as good as this, and I'm nowhere near your skill or creativity level. I dunno, I kind of imagined this to be one of the cooler areas, with vigilante running throughout the area with lots of path interaction. Which it may still do, I don't know, I haven't seen more than this. I think it's probably the small 1x2 structures and the chinese trees that I don't like. They don't seem like something one would see in south america, nor the spiky tall trees (I can never remember the name of those). Seems more asian.
Anyway, I'm not saying it's bad, just not as good as other screens you've shown. But maybe there's hope, since the rest of the area is a little different than this. I'm still curious about this area; ever since you announced it I've wanted to see it. Maybe that's why I was let down. Oh well, finish this soon! -

Every area has been created thoughtfully and to my liking, and every area has been planned and constructed under my terms. I achieved what I wanted, whether or not it is liked is NOT my fault.
One thing one must understand about this screen....its a friggin roller coaster. One, I would NEVER put huge themed buildings around a roller coaster because 1) it makes the ride seem less daunting and 2) It leaves less room for the queue and other theming aspects I would want to achieve with the ride. Vigilante is a Big Bad Wolf style rollercoaster in that it flies through the village (well the themed portion of the village set out for it) and soars past cliffs and valleys. I wont put overly detailed buildings around the coaster because 1) It takes your attention away from the coaster and its layout and 2) It would make FAR more sense for me to focus all my detail and energy on the area itself. Its not whats there its WHY i did it in this instance...i agree it isnt the best screen ive shown and its basically a teaser of what Yuracuy has to offer. This paragraph alone should indicate that more creativity and thought was put into this than it appears.
That being said, it is possible that some buildings will undergo changes when final sweepovers occur. But it is what it is, and what you see is basically what youll get. -

Nothing against you Fatha, I knew you would have your reasons for doing it. I just don't nessisarily agree, which is also fine. That said my complaints with this screen are more to do with my state of awe from many of the other screens and this one being rather iffy in compairison (to me). Obviously its all subjective nonsense anyway and you built it how you wanted it, that's all I can really ask for.

It's more simple than some of the other screens, but it's still the new Fatha', and that's basically what I like about it. I love the new Fatha'. I don't know when that happened, but sweet deal. -

Update 33
Couple things to announce.
The Galapagos area that you all have been familiar with has been deconstructed. All flatrides, theming, and so on have been torn down and the area has been started from scratch. This puts the release date probably farther back then it is now, so a 2006 release is not out of the question. Reasons for the deconstruction of Galapagos were plentiful, as it did not look on par with any of the other areas around it, especially its neighboring tropical entity Aruba. The custom tracked rides in the area have been destroyed, and Savage Current will get a new retracking. Another roller-coaster ride has been added to the plans of this area, and it will probably deal with the exploration of a volcanic mountain. Since people elected not to see screens of Galapagos, it and a final Portuguese area will go unseen by the public and hold 5 attractions that have been unshown (More attraction have been unshown, but only those 5 are in the two unshown areas.... so far id say you all have seen less than half of the BGSS attractions). Expect an exotic and dense jungle-eqsue area with more attention to landscaping and less attention to foilage density...and this newer version of Galapagos will contain buildings...themed to a village on the exotic islands (while Aruba is more of a resort atmosphere, this is more genuine a la Amazonia). The buildings in Galapagos will be detailed at least as much (possibly more) than the buildings in Amazonia and Aruba, so those who liked screens of Amazonia will potentially like the Galapagos area.
Second thing, construction of the S&S SWAT ride Tempest has been completed, and further revisions may be in the cards. So far it looks good and realistic, and I am pleased with it. Its not big and ginormous like the RRP and Nate flatrides, its to scale with a real SWAT attraction (maybe slightly smaller due to RCT limitations). Aruba is about 50% done and should be finished within the month or maybe next month. You will get your screenshot of Aruba later in an update.
Enjoy. -

I'm almost confused on how I didnt even notice this park here. Looks like another winner, Fatha'. I love El Dorado area, extremely detailed. As was the jungle area, which so far looks like the best 'actual' jungle feel I've ever seen. I can't wait for this park.

Update 35 - BGSS Info + Only Aruba Screen
Today marks an interesting day and it was the first time I have noticed this. BGSS now has a filesize that few LL parks (non-peepable and no rides running) have reached. As I was building and was saving, i noticed BGSS was 1 mb in size...to put this in perspective, here are the file sizes of other notable spotlights from NE (As well as the one 1mb+ park I did find).
- The Agean (477 KB)
- Sea World Atlanta (491 KB)
- Cydonia City (639 KB)
- Egyptopia (514 KB)
- MalaWorld (1.44 MB)
H2H Minis that are rather large for their map size....
- Battlefield RCT (501 KB)
- Erwindale Forest (452 KB)
- Blood Island (485 KB)
BGSS, when finished, should be the only non-peepable LL park that will challenge MalaWorld's size (Unless there is another I missed). Just a interesting and some food for thought.
As for other park processes, construction of the Galapagos is underway, and a new ride will be announced now. Its called Caldera: Expidition, and is basically a highly themed mine-ride (IE it has a couple of mine cars and uses wooden track). Its small in size so its a rather insignificant coaster in comparison to the big 5 of BGSS. It will sit in the Galapagos area in place of the following attractions (Species, Shell Shock, Journey Through The Ecosystem). It and Savage Current will highlight the area.
Now for your stupid screen . Here is Aruba.
Aruba is very small, so I only will show you one building in the area....but this will give you a general idea of what the area will look like. A couple of things are subject to change, mostly the foilage layout and flower coloring (which may change to red) to go along with the blue roofing and perhaps the brown path with yellow supports towards the top of the building. The building you see is The Caribbean Way, which is the largest restaurant in BGSS. To the right of the building you see the patio with restaurant tables under the canopy enclosing it. The biggest attractions that highlight the Aruba area are a manmade beach located in a cove, and the S&S SWAT attraction Tempest. Oh and if you are curious as to what the couldrons represent, they are pots with berries in them.
