This felt like an all around step down from Dental Valley, IMO. Perhaps you were just trying to reacclimate yourself with the game. Congrats on the bronze

hmmm, i feel like the foliage didn't really fit the theme (in some places) a long with the architecture, but it wasn't totally bad. congrats!

This is exciting.

I think I would have been much happier if I won my first accolade 6 years ago or whenever I first joined the community, but better late than never.

I've updated some notes on the park's construction process and some of my thoughts on how it all turned out if you want to click on my creator's notes page, or whatever. It's really not that interesting, but just some more explanation on some theming choices and that sort of thing.

Thanks so much for all the hard work on the release prep. It all looks so fancy and great.

It came down to the wire, but Sey's vote generously pushed me above the threshold into Bronze territory. So glad you enjoyed it!

If anybody has any specific questions, I'm happy to answer them.

InVersed, I'm sorry you think it's a step down from Dental Valley. I have to say that I don't necessarily agree - Dental Valley had a lot of flashy, impressive "stuff". It's just sort of there. And the detail is a little overwhelming. I think my general composition has improved a lot, even though I'll admit I'm not too happy with the way some things sort of crowd together in this. I think in general, I definitely tried more subtlety this time around, and I'm not sure if I succeeded at that.

I liked this, it was relaxed and it looked like you had fun when building it. Everything was pretty small scale, there was no larger coaster and no really large building, that's not necessarily bad but I think for this theme some more imposing structures would have been fitting. I also agree with Nokia on the foliage not being a perfect match. But the ideas were nice and it was pleasant so I'm really happy it made it over the bronze limit, anything less would have been unfair as hell.

Postit!? I had no clue who made this, it looked like an improved jaguarkid...

I didn't really like the park, honestly... I thought it was very messy, and the theme was unclear to me so that didn't really help. The park isn't bad, there's just barely anything I like. When I look at your previous parks in your profile, it looks like this is a huge step down (aesthetics). I hope your next park is more traditional, or at least with a better concept/aesthetics balance.

Congratulations on the accolade though! Good to see you building.

I liked the coaster layouts, but I would have liked it more if the invert was a btr

I did think the average park quality was worthy of a bronze (in being sort of cluttered, the foliage was off, and some architecture lacked) but there were spots of brilliance. The swat team ride and the corkscrew near it were amazing, and the woodie was pretty. You clearly knew Batman and incorporated it well into the park, which I admire. The two face/harvey dent towers was a great idea.

Thanks for the comments. It's weird that the foliage is one of the biggest complaints. If there was anything I was very meticulous with, it was the foliage. I think the new colorable trees were initially intimidating to me but I learned to love them.

Splitvision, I thought the building that housed the Joker wild mouse was pretty imposing but maybe not. Glad you liked it.

Thanks for the feedback, Liampie. I think you'll like my more traditional park that I've been working on forever.

Phatage, it means a lot to me that you liked the coasters. I actually thought to myself during construction that I wanted the park to be like Busch Gardens Sydney only in the sense that I wanted the scale of it all to make sense. It wouldn't make sense if I was a peep visiting the park and the Arrow coaster was 1000 ft longer of track, had a batwing and double corkscrew, and was 50 ft higher, given the small size of land of the park and the general scale of the entrance area. I really hoped that such considerations are shown in the final product.

Thanks Sammy and J K.

Dotrobot, glad you liked Maroni's and Holiday.
