Releases from the elusive Benni (Posix's partner in creating Kelaxis Globe under the name 'White') are few and far between, but having wowed us all with Terratina he is back for more with Coral Creek Adventure World. Terratine showcased dark themes, extreme coasters, stunt shows and more besides. Coral Creek takes all of these and amplifies them in a map exploding with coasters, hacks and...well...explosions! Not only is there the main map to gaze at, but also a mini-map taken FROM the main map containing its own stunt show. It's not surprising Benni did this, because the main map has so much happening that it's difficult to keep track. Judicious use of pause, backspace and 'load game' might be needed in order to appreciate all the little effects that occur on opening the map.

The entrance to the park is a classy wooden affair, with a lot of awnings, fences and hacking. The toadstools added to the foliage make for a really fun effect, along with lots of quarter tile trees. Perhaps the main attraction in this area, however, is the enormous volcano that not only erupts but also sets of streams of lava cascading down the mountainside. The hacking involved in this alone is incomprehensible, not to mention the varied Parade and derailed train - and this is only the entrance!

Over on another island in the park is the beginning portion of the ‘Golden Nugget Mine Ride’, a sprawling mine train that winds all throughout the Yukon portion of the park. After the first of at least three underwater tunnels, the golden train goes up a lift and then twists through several helixes in and out of the jagged rocks and waterfalls before plummeting into another underwater tunnel back to the main area. The little red carts you see are a continuous moving train used to simulate mine buckets on a conveyor. Just one of the many creative details that make Benni’s work so enjoyable.

This last picture shows the futuristic Centauri area, home to a mega-hacked launched sit down, 'Flight of Stardust'. Sporting a space-mountain style launch, this coaster also gives good views of the many twisted structures around the area, as well as the shooter ride, 'Failure Labs'. The park is rounded out with a classic take on Canadian Yukon Territory, and a not so classic take on an Aztec area completing a map filled with ingenuity and beauty. Since Posix and Benni first burst on to the scene with Kelaxis Globe, Posix has gained the most attention, but first Terratina and now Coral Creek show that Benni is himself a parkmaker of real quality and innovation.
