    In my honest opinion, probably the best complete park we have ever seen at NE. Obviously not the most influential and it's often swept under the carpet, but the atmosphere in this park is rivaled by few.

    Though the park is flawed, the atmosphere in this park is indeed among the best. I would love to see this park with peeps, that'd be even more amazing. I tried one time, but it's more difficult to do than it looks... I don't know I could bear the huge amount awesomeness anyway.

    Indeed, i'm missing the peeps also.
    That dueller is a masterpiece on it's own though, i've never seen a dueller like that.
    Trying to make that work is very difficult.

    It's more complicated than simply opening the entrance. Lots of paths are unconnected, rides don't have queues or have queues consisting of normal path, more stuff like that. And for a complete you need to have around 2000-3000 peeps in the park, without peepjams. This is quite an undertaking.

    You were right about this park Liampie.

    Its just unreal, the standard you guys are capable of is breathtaking!

    Is this one of the best parks on offer?

    Which other parks of this sort of magnitude should I check out in your opinion?

    The best large RCT2 parks are to be found in the 'spotlight' category. Here's a list (bewaren, there's RCT1 in there too)

    In later years the focus has been on realistic parks like Six Flags Carolina and Thorpe Park, but if you go further back there's cool semi-realism like Islands of Enchantment or Isole Calabria. There's also fantastical weird stuff like Dimensions: Realms of Creation or Rocky Mountain Mystique. Lastly, I think Rivers of Babylon is one of the most well designed parks out there, very minimal but very masterfully composed.

    Cool thanks, I have downloaded all the ones you have just mentioned to have a look at and draw some inspiration from.

    I kind of like the semi-realism as obviously it allows for the creative side to come out as opposed to a carbon copy of something. That said the Thorpe Park is so realistic and very well produced. I see what you mean about Rivers of Babylon as well, its very smooth. I have to say though I prefer Island of Enchantment and Isole Calabria is amazing as well. Thanks these have helped a lot.

    isole and rob are literally essentials for any kind of play-style though

    speaking of can we get the voting done on both of them? turtle deserves more than just bottom-tier parkmaker spot and isole will give him 85+
  • amblerk%s's Photo

    Oh definitely. I spent a good time on both looking round in great detail. Truly world class trophies!
