Good luck finishing @theflowdiskord! looking forward to seeing it finished. I think this may surprise some people!

on this screen, the red trim on the bridge seems to clash a little with the track. if the bridge is supposed to mirror the ride, making the brick black to lean into it more might be the play

I sent you the link on discord to the file you need MTC!

Fred, this is delicious. 

+ Track recoloring on the inversion

+ Architecture all round super on theme

+ paths amazing; sure belle isle inspired but I have no issue with that

+ love the curvy queues

+ strong foliage game

+ dry creek bed

+ train bridge over it

- the areas of empty grass felt a little bare, just some weeds in there maybe or something to smooth out the flowers between the corkscrews

- for the theme, it felt like the buildings were missing a "main street" vibe; nitpick I know! 

For me there's a lot of skill here but the overall composition lets it down - everything is a flood of yellow. I found it tricksy to figure out what was going on and where all the rides were under all the scenery.

I think you guys have the skills down to score high, just some more planning at the start to design what the overall macro of the park will be like would be super helpful.

This is a wonderful park. To me, it deserved the 80%+ level. I was definitely split between 80-85 rather than 75-80.

This is a park that was built at the pace and style you like to build at, clearly, Faas - and I think that's always something to be celebrated.

It's like that advice to authors - write what you want to read, not what you think your audience might want.

What that results in is a map that is clearly just really well loved.

While I agree with some of the minor critiques - weird map shape (really though, does this matter that much?), some areas a little underworked, and let me just add a few too many different pathing options, putting that aside there's so much to like.

I am a big RCT hotel fan and there's a great one here. All the accomodation adds lovely context to the park without being detached from it which is the risk of going into the office building/fast food type of surroundings. What is there adds context but doesn't distract or detract all the way down to the insta-brides and their spouses on ladders, which is a great touch by the way.

I love the big bold windmills by the entrance, and I love how instantly dutch the whole thing is. Not just the flags, but the architecture and mood screams Netherlands.

The boat, raised bridge, old town walls, it all screams exactly what it is. The way rad van beroerten is nestled inside the turnaround of iconoclast is a lovely alton towers-esque moment. That coaster by the way is my favourite in the park, its interaction with the wooden duelers is fun and the end of the ride is so well integrated with the park.

Great stuff here, I wish we would see more parks like this!
