This project is absolutely crazy, not only technically but also creatively (I was blown away by the mirror effect - I'm not sure I've ever seen anything similar). I'd love to have seen even more and discovered new rooms and new elements! Well done the_bru, stunning park here !

I've never thanked you for the zt animals I've used in my zoo park. The good score of my park owes a lot to your work, I should at least have included your name in the park description. So thank you!

It's really cool that you've highlighted Dutch culture. I don't know too much about the myths of this country except for the great intellectual and artistic figures, but seeing the names of some attractions in something other than English is a real pleasure.

It's not really my style of rct but I still enjoyed quite a few things here: the boat, the old town at the park entrance and especially this little opening with Little Ice Age inside. The whole area with the cute mushrooms and the strange but interesting architecture of ‘De Padde Stoel’ is really cool. The drop in ‘De Vergulde Draeck’ is nice too. Everything is cute and cleanly executed. The negative points for me are the borders, and perhaps a little more diversity in the shapes. 

Congrats Faas!

Nice topic !

My pov :

I rarely rate design submissions

I make a distinction between creation and imagination when rating parks. These are the 2 axes of my rating, with great importance given to the imagination part.

-Creation: the way you build something from a technical point of view (a building, a station, etc.).

-Imagination: the way you design a park. This includes theme choices, the way a building or element is designed, the general idea behind the park, artistic choices (artistic direction), the ‘touch’. Basically, thinking outside the box.

It's a very personal reflection, but I find that on NE we have some very good technicians, but a lot of people who stay within the classic patterns of a park: same choice of themes, release of big franchises (Disney, Six Flags, etc. etc.).  Why don't people try to create their own franchise? Or try something ambitious and unusual? Or fantasy park? Imo It's a bit sad to see different things mainly at H2H.

To finish, I don't expect the same from a legendary parkmaker as I do from an untitled player or a NE parkmaker. For the second category, if I see that the player has made great progress between his park and his previous work, I won't hesitate to give him a higher score, even if the quality is a little lower than what we usually see. I try to be as flexible as possible.

So cool and smart, great work
