    All I can really say is wow. I've never seen anything like this before. A 500+ foot coaster? A coaster that intentionally crashes into itself? An almost 600 foot tall mountain made out of land blocks? This is just some crazy shit. And the steel looper even proves that you can make a well thought-out layout when you need to. Nice stuff man. Congrats on the gold.

    Seems like I'm the only one who doesn't like this at all (well, guess Steve and 5dave too :p )
    I just think it's all very repetitive, the same colors/shapes/foliage throughout without any flow, theming and atmosphere (at least not in the way to make it aesthetically pleasing)..
    Guess this style is not for me, and imo it's stacking coasters and scenery just for the hell of it..
    Sorry, but I hope this "invasion" ends soon :p

    ^ Not at all. I welcome Fantasy and work this creative.

    I may not be well clued up in fantasy parks but it sure makes me want to see even more.

    I can appreciate good fantasy parks too (I love for example Fright Nights).. Maybe my comment seemed a bit harsh, but I just think it's not a fantasy park of the highest standard.. Like I said, it's pretty repetitive, with here and there a little variation, but not enough to bring this to the high level of fantasy parks we've seen in the past.. Although Beejer's style also wasn't my cup of tea, I think his stuff impresses me more than this..

    I appreciate the effort though and also applaud new parkmakers from anywhere in the world to join NE.
    I just think silver would've been enough for this 'park'.

    six frags, did you even see some of the hacks? the moment i saw the trains bump into each other so they would change direction and therefore could be separated from the one track they were on into two again simply made me jump. it was just "WTF?! WOW! :eek:"

    the only problem i have with this park is that i can't view it very fluently because my computer is too slow.

    freerider, i hope to see more of your parks very soon!! thank you so much for sending them to us. :)

    Yeah I saw the hacks.. Hacks are great and all, but they are just a tool for me, and not something that must be the highlight of a coaster.. There are exceptions of course, such as Levis' Thrill Lift, which was basically a new ride design which hasn't been done by anyone in the community yet and therefore blew me away.. These kind of hacks you mentioned have been done before and like with Roomies design, which was called Anti-Newton or some other of the pack he released back in the day, I think it's nice to view them once but they don't capture me for a longer time and don't make me want to go back to the park to re-view the pacing/interaction/flow or something like that.. Yeah, sure, he used the pacing to get the trains to bump to each other so the other one is traveling backwards, but it's not something that blows me away.. Just a nice feature imo, but it doesn't really excite me to be honest..

    Ah well, in the end it comes down to opinions anyway..

    I love you :)
    You have a very new, fesh and unique building style. Really something different then the ordinary realistic most people build.

    This is just 100% awesomeness.

    Every type of design in this park looks like something I do when messing around, but instead its all themed and supported. Ha, and it looks decent at that. The whole duel cat and mouse coaster made me call you a shifty bastard out loud, haha, very clever. The 500ft diver made me laugh and made me laugh harder when the 3 car train made it up the 300ft hill, nice. I did like the impulse, that was neat. I looked at the park through fun eyes, not realistic ones so it was a lot of fun to watch. BUT, that entire mountain made out of land blocks just WOWED me to the fullest extent... and not only that but you have buildings on that as well! WTF. That was insane man.

    Your work is enjoyable, and fun to look at so keep it up.

    That was such an awesome park! I love fantasy when it's done well and this was just great.

    I loved the giga and the floorless coasters especially. How did you get it so that they would hit so perfectly?? And the tan support structure/buildings! This must have taken forever to make.

    I can't get over how cool this was.

    And if you can't read English, hear you go so you can understand me:

    seems this isn't based on micheal bays "the island"
    has some nice things but overal no taste .... I mean who in his right mind would put a copy/pase tower which consists of white and light brown on a tropic island ... also I don't like how the land goes so high ... it just misses something.

    yeah maybe he can do some hacks ... haven't actually looked at it that good but it seems he just did a splitting coaster or so ...
    Personally I would almost say this is realism. but because I got shot than I say this is NO FANTASY its just semi-realism.

    mindblowing amount of time and effort put into this--if you can use your landblock abilities in a more effective way, you'll be one of the best. foliage is just thrown together and ugly, rides are ridiculous but entertaining i guess. i'd like to see what you could do if you spent time to think about subtlety and elegance combined with the overwhelming moments that well, overwhelm your park. many of those are great (bobsled nestled in the corner of mountain, natural bridges in the dragon park) but others (absurdly massive tower in this one) lack the refinement that make it enjoyable to watch. use your talents the right way--eye dropping but also pleasing to the eyes--and you'll be legendary.
