    This was really special, as every SSSammy release is, if only because of the way he creates something more than a "park", IE this was an aquarium themed area.

    I sorta thought I was going to have the high vote as I tried to overlook the unfinishedness, especially around the bottom, and the fact that the ride either wouldn't work or crashed on me a bit. "Unrefined" would be a good way to put how I felt about some of the park. I also found the naming scheme really obnoxious but eh.

    The animal statues placed around the park where amazing, and pushed my vote way up. Seriously one of the coolest things I've seen in game in a while. I think some were missing though? They layout was pretty good, I'm always up for a good intamin launcher, and the supports were awesome. Archy was good throughout, and the aquarium section felt really great.

    I hope you still have some RCT in ya Sam and you to airtime.
    good stuff guys.

    So pretty!! I really love it.

    This bothered me though:

    Don't let that score get you down SSSammy, the smartest judge on the panel gave you a 90%, so it's all good.

    It's not funny, either.

    I can't be a sarcastic ass when I write for The Miami Herald, so I need to get it out of my system here. Sadly they also don't let me say fuck. This write-up was like a gift :nod:

    I'm really glad Sammy and Airtime could share the points. Hogging all of them would have been... sailfish.

    Oh my goodness. This is one of the greatest things I've read on the internet. Without a trout, amazing.

    These jokes are pollocks. I don't think this is really the time or the plaice to be doing fish jokes.

    Sam, I'm so proud of you. You did it. Or did Airtime? Anyways, you're amazing.

    Sammy, you've made Posix a happy halibut!

    I'm going to leave now as these jokes are starting to flounder.

    But in all seriousness, I thought this was excellent. The colors were just so on point, they really make the map explode with life. I love it.

    Overall this was really enjoyable.

    Like Austin said, the statues were one of my favorite things. The sea turtle especially. I like the exhibit design and integration with the monorail as well.

    The coaster had a nice flow, though I couldn't get a complete circuit because it kept breaking down. What is the point of that small piece of chain lift in the middle? I know it's slow in the roll, but it still makes it at least. I also don't think you need that midcourse on such a short coaster. I'm not sure loading could happen fast enough to make that a viable option. Lastly I'm really confused as to why the park would spend a ton of money blocking that river just to have the coaster dip down a little further. From a practicality standpoint that's strange.

    The details on this map were really great to uncover so, so I hope you'll both do another design soon.

    Nice job guys!
    I really like the natural feeling this park has; with all those little lakes and green land combined with sand and mud it looks very realistic. I can really imagine walking there, so great job!

    Thanks for the compliments on the logo:] I tried to keep it simple and classy!

    Sam, this is one of my favorite pieces of RCT. So proud of you young man! :clown:

    people didn't think this deserved a design? There's so much stuff! This thing could be a park!

    amazing work though. the statues were awesome, great layout (shitty station though) and some awesome stuff around the park. lovely realism work that I would definitely expect from you, sssammy. the architecture was a little inconsistent and i couldn't really figure out what theme/style you were going for, but overall a very solid design.

    also, you better hope it never rains hard or you're gonna get a flooded track

    I really loved this. Well done.

    Wow. Awesome little park/design here. Very believable coaster with great pacing and a fun layout, and some great details here and there to round out the map. Especially loved the animal sculptures, as well as the Aquarium building with the staggered roof. When I first saw this overview, I thought it was going to be a bit messy and cluttered, but it all worked very well. Congrats on a well-deserved design!
