    After Eftel Towers (Efteling and Alton Towers), Cedar Flags Drayton Park (Cedar Point, Six Flags Magic Mountain and Drayton Manor) the third park in the Eftel-Towers-series is...

    This park is a mix between the well-known Knott's Berry Farm and the not-so-well-known Drievliet in the Netherlands.
    Both parks are extremely compact, and that was the main reason to mix these parks together. Another similarity is the relative cheap theming.

    I think I did a great job on making the park look cheap and messy. That was a reason for people to say 'It's ugly and I don't like it.'.
    As I kept on saying it's about the realism and not about the beauty more people began to like it!

    Some places suck in every single way but the park also has some good things.
    It's definitely not my best park but maybe it's still fun to take a look at it!

    Whoops... sorry, forgot to leave my comment after I checked out the park. I'm always a fan of this style and this is no exception. Some relatively nice layouts and interesting (albeit sometimes odd) theming make for a pretty nice park. I don't know about others, but I had some problems with the coasters not running due to some sort of blocking issue, but I was able to fix it and watch the things.
    Hoping to see more from you sometime.

    I still had this on my hard drive from the RCT Holland days! I came across it yesterday.

     

    You may not like it, but I have to say it does have something. Most parks made nowadays are explosions of decoration, which is very impressive, but this is just easier on the eyes. It also avoids the glitching that often comes with such parks.

    Wow, that's an unlikely comment! Just took a look myself. I agree with what I said ten years ago... Some areas are awful and I should've done it differently, even back then, but there's some stuff that still holds up I think.

    Thanks for sending me down a little nostalgia trip!
