  No question that some of the parts were just amazing. I loved the Old West, Aztec Empire and Frostbite Forest areas. The organization, ride design, park layout and details were almost perfect. I spent a lot of time just gazing at how everything was put together on that half of the park.
  
  Bits of the other areas (especially Fort Phoenix and China) had the same qualities but just didn't hold my attention as long. Things like the park layout got kinda odd and felt almost rushed. The park had kind of a lopsided feel with one half being the most epic stuff I've seen in a long time and the other not quite up to that level. It was all really fun to look through though.
  
  probably my favorite things in the park were the ride/que entrances... really badass sculptures and custom paths. Major props to that.

  Come on, guys. This has been up for 4 days and isn't even on page 2 yet, and it's a fantastic Spotlight! The freaking Obama v. McCain topic got to page 4 in a couple of days. This is a bit ridiculous. Not to undermine the election; just saying that this is a bloody Spotlight!

  The best part was the brochure but the actual park was still fucking great.
  
  One of the best brochures I have seen.

  I liked all the details in it, especially Frostbite. My favorite ride in the park.
  
  Only things:
  I really thought it was WAY too cramped. I just think it didn't have any room and it was cramped, plus I think the Rock and Roll section could have been executed better. I couldn't do better, but I just think it could've been better, IMO.

  aw damn, i completely forgot to post my thoughts on this. my bad bud.
  
  overall i liked it. i thought the themes were flushed out pretty well. the aztec area was by far my favorite, the architecture is exactly what i think of when i think aztec. rattle snake was my favorite coaster with the terrain interactions and that badass water wheel taking center stage by the splash boats. a few things i didnt like were the lack of theme transitions and the compact feeling of the whole park. if there had been just a little more space between lands, both of these problems could have been helped. rock n roll plaza was my least favorite area. i didnt like the colors and the lack of variety in textures made the whole area feel bland. i did however like the guitars.
  
  good job and congrats again on the win.

  I've been meaning to post about this for ages!
  I really love this park. Everything seems well thought out and there are loads of original ideas. I particularly liked the big inverted coaster.
  The only things I didn't like were (as some other people have said) how compact the park is. I felt that each area was wrestling for some room - they could have done with a bit of space to breathe. Some of the paths also seemed a bit squashed in and narrow. Another minor point is that the park ran quite slowly for me with peeps which was disappointing as looking at the peepless version wasn't as atmospheric. That's not your fault though of course.
  The brochure you made to go with the park was absolutely superb. Brilliant idea and execution!
  So overall congratulations on the Spotlight. You deserved it.

  I've been viewing several parks lately, and I've decided that this is my favorite to date! The invert tops all! I love the layout and it's surroundings. The coaster doesn't dominate the area height wise either. Well done there.
  The woodie is superb as well. Just a great layout there too. The castle (I'm working off of memory here, I'm not at home) is one of my favorite buildings. Great interaction with the water coaster!
  
  I'd post more, but I can't remember more... I'll post again sometime soon.

  This is one of the most awesome parks I've ever seen. When I first read that the park was divided into seperate themed areas I wasn't very pleased. But when I saw the screens and the full-scale aerial I was immediately a fan of this park. Every area has it's own feel to it. And there's just so much detail everywhere. I read the brochure, and I must say that you're good at fotoshopping. I really liked the Stealth/Hard Rock Guitar picture. In the middle of all the 'chaos' there's the hotel. You did an incredible job on that one. Although the rides and the busyness is close by you managed to create a silent and peacefull area there. I also like the interaction of the rides with the surroundings. Especially Montezuma.
  
  Congratulations on the spotlight and I look forward to seeing more from you.

  I've really had the urge to comment on this for a while. When I first saw this park, I wasn't too excited, and the aerial didn't help much. Nevertheless, I downloaded it, feeling it to be fair to see it.
  
  Boy, did I feel wrong. I realized that the allure of this park came from the atmosphere had creativity rather than the details. Although I'm not the hugest fan of your architecture, your creativity in creating the areas was amazing. Each looked complete, full-fledged, and exciting. You may not have the best small detail work, but you've created what many parks lack: a great atmosphere. I was never tired of your ideas and the execution. The invert is brilliant, along with Montezuma. You found a way to create a Maverick-style coaster without copying Maverick's layout.
  
  Overall, I love this park. It may not be my absolute fav, but it's definitely up there.

  Im starting to think that this park is completely based off of Magic Kingdom type parks.
  
  Because the hotel is in the middle of the park and that the heart of the park(just like the Cinderella Castle or Sleeping Beauty Castle) and most of the areas are based of of Disney areas like the western area is based of of Frontierland.
  
  Absolutely Great park BTW

  Maybe, but a big central building and a few similar themes isn't enough 'proof' IMO. There is a lot of stuff that hasn't got anything to do with Disney or even things that Disney won't ever do.

  God, my love for this park is still so strong ...
  
  eyeamthu1, I'm sad we haven't heard from you ever since. I take it RCT has lost some of its excitement for you?
