PenguinBOB's areas are a joy to explore. 'Crow's Corner' is a slightly sinister area featuring a classic woodie 'As The Crow Flies' and several clever smaller attractions - from the 'Be Strong, Win Big' test-your-strength to the enclosed 'Whiplash' ride, PenguinBOB proves he has the skill to create charming buildings that are more interesting than the usual run of the mill architecture you get in some parks. PenguinBOB also helped with 'Salem Village', a homage to the infamous witch village. He is responsible for the wonderful layout for 'The Crucible' flyer (below). The layout mixes an out-and-back style with unique inversions and swooping turns - all around the circumference of a spooky lake.

This area is also home to the park's best attraction - 'Witch Hunt', made by Kumba. This is a hacked water ride that explores the park's central island. Riders get to go on a witch hunting adventure, falling down cascades and aiming at targets dotted around the extreme landscape. Also inhabiting the same waterways are the more serene 'Iron Falls Rapids', just off the coast of the other side of the map - all made by Kumba. 'Old IWV' is home to the park's biggest coaster called 'Twisted Valley'. This B&M has a diagonal lift and takes advantage of the landscape as it plummets down crevasses on its way through 7 inversions. Kumba doesn't only concentrate on big-thrill attractions, though, as 'IWV Historical Tour' (below) proves. This monster-truck tour shows that Kumba is fully capable of paying great attention to detail in making quaint, well crafted gentle rides. His other big coaster, however, is just as good an indication of his skill - 'Ridge Rider' is a fun-packed mine train with excellent theming and pacing.

Along with Acorn Springs by RCTM, this park from RCTI shows that the group park is alive and kicking, and that rct2 provides a great medium for collaborations. Sure, the park might not be the most adventurous or the most innovative, but it fits the bill for a traditional, family-orientated amusement park. The theming is quaint, the rides are enjoyable and the detail is great to explore. Really, the only thing to criticise is the slight lack of variation - there's only so much of that crazy paving path and particular tree selection that one person can take. Well done RCTI on getting another runner-up at NE, and here's looking forward to even better ones in the future (the projects on the website certainly look promising).
