New Element - Entertainment City: Las Vegas

Entertainment City: Las Vegas By JKay Added on Saturday, 16 June 2007

JKay continues his dominant debut at New Element with his second runner-up in two weeks, this time a super runner-up alongside "Nascar Experience" and "Vales of Crypt". Definitely a step up from JKay who improves on almost all aspects of his parkmaking. He improves his theming, his architecture, and even his coaster skills in this park...although he still finds the drawback of having little organization. Still, in a park that has one general theme and is on a bigger map, it's not as big of a deal here. Plus the individual ideas are executed beautifully, he really has an insane imagination and knows just how to translate from his head to the computer screen. Doing his best to interpret the city of sin, Las Vegas into RCT he adds all the necessary pieces, from Circus Circus to the Hoover Dam. Amazing park JKay, although I still think you should take a little more time between parks.

The first screen shows JKay's amazing re-enactment of the Hoover Dam. You've got to love the way he uses the quarter tile blocks so perfectly to create the damn effect. You can also see the coaster that invades the dam, "Odyssey of the Barrier". This coaster has it's positives and negatives in my opinion. For one, it's a crazy ride that would be absolutely mind boggling in real life. I can just imagine riding on this B&M steel monster and seeing the dam straight ahead, and pulling a cutback to avoid the wall. On the other hand, the coaster is sprawling and all over the place, which detracts from the beauty of the dam....so it really all comes down to your preference. Beauty or thrills, either way...take your pick.

Here you can see the eye popping "Fraktal Factory' Virginia Reel coaster. Look at that non stop barage of colors. Reds, blues, purples, yellows, oranges, pinks, and more, all thrown together...but somehow looking like they all fit together. That's not an easy thing to accomplish so kudos to JKay on that one. I love the way he has the Reel snaking it's way through the colorful factory...in most cases the coaster actually looks like theming until you realize it's the actual ride. I couldn't imagine a structure like this in any other park, because I doubt any other parkmaker would have the balls to build it. Awesome job though.

Finally you can see the unique "Lunar Excursion" coaster, a Premier LIM coaster that flies over the rocky martian terrain. It's a nice contrast from the rest of the park, which is filled with flickering lights and bright colors (just like the real city). The ride has a great layout, probably the best in the park and the hi-tech Martian architecture looks absolutely flawless. Amazing park JKay...I really love the way you incorporated all those glittering lights into the park...you really captured Las Vegas more then anybody should be able to in RCT, and for that you should be commended. Awesome job JKay...I really have my mouth watering over what you'll be building next.
