-Concept: ***

I thought I saw the best map border with Jaguar's entry, but this definitely takes the crown! The map border basically sets the whole concept, and you've done it with so much creativity and detail, just wow!

-Content: ***

I think I've spend the most time in this park, checking out all the little intricate details, scenes, rides, architecture and landscaping you've put on the map.

-Quality: ***

Highest quality park of the contest imo; all the gradients, crunch and colours used throughout are immaculate.

Overall;

Wow, what a piece of art again! The way you've done the map border, and integrated all the landscaping around the architecture and coaster are of such high quality.

Best thing I've found was the way you've done all the gradients, both on the landscaping and architecture. Even the underwater parts have gradients or darker bits indicating some lower laying areas.

Also really dig the pathing details, such as the star, the crunch at the beach area, and the variation on the paths in the town area.

The way you've themed all the rides are also amazing to see; the canopies around the Dancing Dragon, the curves used on Espresso Spin, the way Voyage of the Seven Seas travels through the map border and landscape and the diagonal construction of the Banana Boat.

The little town area also is beautifully done with the fountain sitting in the middle and some nice foliage variations/combos in there. Great vibrant colors on the architecture and those blend in well with the brown/sandy colors..

The waterfalls are like chef's kiss here, always love some good waterfalls and these are seamlessly injected into the landscape creating nice splashes of freshness throughout.

Amazing color palette btw, really makes this whole piece pop!

Thanks for creating this for us Xtreme, and although it came in second, it feels like a winner as well to me.

-Concept: ****

usually 3 stars is the max I put on these little categories I use to evaluate a park, but in this case I had to go beyond and commend you on such an unique, emotional and fresh take on a concept in RCT. Don't think we've ever seen such a personal and deeply moving piece on NE, and although I don't fully know the ins and outs of how the relationship went and ended, I get some of the story beautifully told through all the objects you've used and the set pieces you've created.

-Content: ***

All the stories you've created is a great trip through your memory lane.

-Quality: ***

Very high typical Barn quality throughout like I know you for. Especially love all the landscaping and the way you've created the sunset at the water.

Overall;

I mean, wow, what a park. Very happy to see you giving us such a beautiful story told in RCT.

At first I thought what are all the people in black doing, but after reading what hydro said it perfectly made sense, and gave the park so much more meaning.

All the objects you've created add so much to the story, and make it really stand out. The flowers thrown on stage, the skiing peeps, the peeps sitting on the towels at the beach, even the 2-view painting in the bar (which surely references something likewise in real life).. It really takes us through your memories with your loved one, and makes this such a multi-layered piece of art.

Also want to point out the beautiful framing you did with every piece of the story. Like every part of the story has it's own corner, but still blends well and it's so subtly integrated into the macro.

Major props on the well chosen piano song playing as well, fits perfectly!

I wasn't expecting something like this coming out of NEDC, but boy am I glad you did and that you shared it with us!

Well done on a much deserved win!

Summer 2025 is just around the corner, can't wait!

Nice to see you Phatage! And can I point out that basically all of the NE action is taken place at our Discord nowadays? There's a link at the bottom of the website..

-Concept: ***

Reminds me of a mix between Park Guell, Biota & Belle Isle, but still you've added your own unique touches. Also everything being in the concept of the curves is well thought out and executed to perfection.

-Content: ***

A lot to explore; from the architecture, the supporting rides to all the path mosaic.

-Quality: ***

Consistent quality throughout, the ''fried chicken stall 1'' building is of exceptional quality though, really love that one!

Overall;

Such an unique park, didn't expect this coming from you Monsterbux! This is what Biota should've been, then it would've won easily

I hoped someone would use the 1/4 (half diagonal/trims) paths I made for the 2023 bench in unique creative ways like you displayed here, and I'm just very excited to see how you've executed these path patterns! Really gives it an unique touch and makes the whole piece of such high artistic quality. Also fits in well with the Gaudi Gardens concept.

When I read you also wanted the architecture to look organic, I was thinking how would you realise that.. But you managed to create very organic and interesting architecture throughout, which again fits really well with the whole concept & theme.

Also want to commend you on the excellent color pallette and color usage throughout the park. Gives it a great artistic vibe.

The foliage and landscaping also feels very natural and organic. Minor point of criticism are the Fisch rocks at the back, as I feel they look kinda bare and a bit glitchy under the curved brick walls. I think raising them up in the draw order using the Tile Inspector could fix that. Not a biggy though..

Finally want to mention the supporting rides, as they also fit in so nicely around the coaster and in the whole of the park. Especially like the maze wall build out of coaster cars and the bit where the swan boat ride goes through El Sueno de Gaudi's station building.

If this is #3, I can't imagine what the top 2 will be!

Great job Monsterbux!
