Moonbase Amusement Park By Beejer Added on Saturday, 16 June 2007
Welcome to a lesson in WTFage. With all due respect to world famous seizure-inducers, JKay and Kumba, we have a new king of the cool and bizarre, and his name is Beejer! Some of you may remember his last Runner Up, the incredibly creative and original Park 360. Well, his latest vision of unorthodox creativity (or is it madness?) is Moonbase Amusement Park, a creation that, from all initial looks of things, really shouldn't win anything, because it breaks so many "rules" in "good parkmaking." And yet, it's just one crazy park, and there's a certain allure to it.
We begin with a screen showing a structure that, when viewed in-game, nearly gave Iris a seizure. No, seriously. It did. You are staring at the Lunar Temple, a massive pyramid structure of pulsating light that shelters a wacky floorless coaster of the same name. This baby winds through five inversions and cuts through the massive structure that houses it. And that very same structure is like something out of what might have occurred if the Ancient Egyptians had experienced the disco era. Groovy, baby!

Next comes I.S.S., presumably short of International Space Station, another B&M floorless with three lift segments, three inversions, and one gigantic space shuttle orbiting nearby. The colors are pleasing yet trippy at the same time, and while the architecture isn't plentiful, it's definitely huge. Like everything else in the park, the theming hear looks freed from the constraints of gravity, which makes sense, since we're apparently on the moon. Kudos to Beejer for picking themes that really suit his style. One could easily imagine perhaps a very young Mala doing the same thing (just imagine; don't rationalize).

And then there is Plutonium Extraction, a B&M regular sitdown looping coaster with 6 inversions and speeds up to 74 MPH. It's got this crazy enormous structure covering it, and it's yet another example of the monumentality of this thing. Ed might have a heart attack from all the gargantuan buildings in this park, but that adds to the strange appeal. It's fun. Just plain fun.

There are other details that are pretty neat within this extraterrestrial realm. Check out the Lunar Lookout building, whose windows actually gradiate as they go down in elevation. That's a pretty neat effect. So congratulatioisn to Beejer for another Runner Up. This may not be everyone's favorite style, but I'd be hardpressed to argue that it's "bad." Once again, Beejer shows how fun and creativity can meld to form something pretty interesting--even if it does warp your mind!
