Damn Fred! This is absolutely outstanding work! The atmosphere is absolutely top notch throughout this entire entry. The colours are absolutely amazing, I love the red rocks and foliage colours. The Belle Isle pallette was a great choice here! Really outstanding macro work also, everything seems placed very intentionally. I was beyond impressed when I first opened this park. The song (AI?) was also vibey for the first playthrough but got old pretty quick lol.
Foliage and Landscaping: I really liked the landscaping on this map. I think using two different rock objects for the fake rockwork and the real little stones scattered about was a good choice. The red rock landscaping looks pretty much perfect for what it is supposed to be. The 1k rocks also work surprisingly well here. I would have liked a little more texturing in places like the dried riverbed but honestly that pretty nit picky.
The foliage was also really strong for the most part. Great bush selection and tree selection. Colour choices are also on point. The clumping was done really well, everything seems pretty intentional. I thought this area was great with the yellow highlights and the fence.

downloads: 5My only foliage complaint is those purple flowers look unnatural and blocky compared to everything else. I would have liked to see them coloured differently (why are the bottoms not green?) and see more flower objects mixed in to make them look better.
Architecture: No complaints here. Everything was pretty great. Ol' Japs is obviously fantastic but everything else is also right around that same level. Seriously the best archy I've ever seen from you. I really loved the yellow train station and the station for the coaster was also just really solid. The colours are so poppy and used so well. Just really impressive stuff. Even the back house buildings are done really well

downloads: 5Its also nice to see you building well diagonally. You've made some massive improvements to your game over the last year or two.
Everything else: The coaster layout looks super fun. I like the colour choices as well. The path details are also one of the highlights of this entry to me. That little band scene in the middle of the park was one of the best parts IMO.
Overall: I rated this 85%. Your should be really proud of this park. Super hyped to see what you make next

Whoa! This is a really interesting map overall. The vibe is really interesting and there are a lot of really awesome moments. I thought that the layout was really well done and I like the colours that you went with. The macro was pretty well done. I really like how that big cliff frames the building on top of it. I'd also like to shout out the custom opening door that you built with CTRs. This is genuinely amazing and the effect is impressive.
Foliage and Landscaping: The foliage is lacking a bit for me. The greens seem too saturated and and 1/4 tile objects seem spammed throughout the map. The trees were better and I actually really like the object selection and colours for them.
the landscaping was pretty good. The volcano objects feel like they shouldn't work great with the rock land texture but honestly it kind of looks good. The entire crater scene is also unreal. This is just such great use of objects and the coaster turn around is framed so well with the landscaping.

The little towers with the alien experiments in them are really fun. I also was a big fan of some of the object use. This is a great use of this really weird object

Damn wow, I was really impressed by this project. The atmosphere is so strong throughout this entire map. Right when you open the park the archy style, the windmills, and the music hits you all at once and really sucks you into the environment. The macro is great! Its always hard to go wrong with the figure 8 path haha. The outskirts were also pretty good. I thought the parking lot was really charming with the default land textures coming together quite well. I also though the little suburb was also nice! I do kinda with you went with something else for the farm land instead of the coloured flowers.
Foliage and Landscaping: I think this is probably the weakest part of the map which is saying something but the foliage and landscaping are still decent. There is actually some really nice foliage moments on this map. This little area with the purple flowers is absolutely lovley and has a lot of a character.

I liked the tree selections that you went with. I think the underbrush could have been touched up pretty much everywhere. I like that you clumped the trees together but the clumps were never really strategically used to frame anything and in a lot of areas the clumps seem to just be randomly plopped around.
The landscaping was also fine but I was wanting more from it. A few rocks and some better land texturing could have gone a long was in making the environment more interesting.
Architecture: This is probably the highlight for me. All of the architecture here is really solid. The different themes are handled so well throughout the park. Everything genuinely has its own character but also feels like it belongs in the park. The hotel is probably my favourite building on the map

I mean I'm surprised that you managed to make such a disjointed building look so good! I really have no complaints about the architecture
Everything Else: The ride design was really good throughout. I absolutely love the splash boats ride. The coaster layouts all look good to be. the Dueling wooden coaster was a fun watch. I also love all the little moments you have throughout. This slide ride is amazing for example

It blends in with the surroundings so well and adds so much to the area. The little fountain at the park entrance with the flowers was also amazing.
Overall: I'm really glad I checked this out! I rated this 85%

Man this is nostalgic as hell. I really love the vibe of this entire park and it looks like it was really fun to build. I also think its pretty crazy to check the difference in quality between this and your newer project. The newer one is clearly much more detailed and refined. This makes me very excited to see the improvements in your next piece of RCT.
Foliage and Landscaping: Landscaping is fun but not very uniform. The red rocks on the river rapids are great but kind of seem out of place in the context of everything else. The hills are also nice but I kind of wish there was more actual rocks scattered around. The lakes were also nice but I wish they were detailed a bit more.
The foliage seems like it was kind of just spammed around. Probably the low point for me on this map.
Architecture: There isn't too much architecturally speaking but I did like the few buildings/stations that were here. I think my favourite building was the station to the mine-train.
Ride and Everything else: The macro was actually really strong on this park. I also really liked a lot of the supporting rides. I thought the rapids was really well done and my favourite part of the park was the go-karts

Overall: I'm glad I checked this park out! It was very fun to view and I look forward to seeing what you do next.

Cool park! I like the atmosphere of this thing a lot. Honestly kind of reminds me of el dorado from H2H9. The pallette works well enough. I kinda wish you introduced some different colours into this other than the gold. Some pops of yellow, red, or blue would've been nice.
Foliage and Landscaping: I liked the landscaping in this project a lot. I've always had a soft spot for that NCSO volcano object being chopped up and used for rockwork. The big hills are also nice throughout. Honestly no real complaints about the landscaping.
The foliage was okay. The bushes need work for sure. A lot of them look like they were just spammed around with no real purpose. The trees are better, I like the objects you chose. I think some less dense areas would have been a nice breath of fresh air as well.
Architecture: I wasn't a huge fan of the architecture overall. It was all a bit too blocky and gold for me. The center piece is pretty well done but overall its just a bit repetitive. I think some separate areas with slightly different architecture styles would have done wonders for this project.
Rides and Stuff: I love the coaster layout and the flat rides. Really cool dueler, although it goes pretty fast through that first loop lol. The flume is also great and I love all of the other supporting rides. This structure was the highlight of the entire map for me.
