    I'm sure I know someone who would like to disagree with that, come forward...

    Ever heard of Pawn?

    Lol course he has. I think he was thinking of Midnight Aurora if not thats who I was thinking. Otherwise RRP.

    Pawn is accomplished, i'll give him that. Midnight is good with the Beast, and knows that one impressive hack (which gazza originally invented, I believe). RRP is good, but only with the Beast.

    I do believe X-Sector and WME are the only regular people who use Winhack in the slightest, which is why i think they are the most adventurous.

    That isn't to say I don't fit more hacks into my work than them ;)

    Hmmmm...watches as all the runner's up to DDI start grabbing spotlights except me. Must go build. As for the park...I haven't had time to really look at it in depth, but first impression was quite good. Coasters all seem to have nice designs and Landscaping and architecture are quite good. The resort map looks more interesting than the park. Will take a better look tonight to see if my first impressions hold true.

    Finally I get around to looking at the park long enough.

    Congrats WME

    Map 1 The lost era

    Entrance Was ok. Nothing special really. abit over treed but hey that doesn't matter. I did like The rock Hotel however :)

    Futura Abit of a small area really. I did like the coaster and that cute alien sculpture

    France one of the best sections in the park. reminds me alot of S.A.K.M which I have told you about allready. The woodie was ok. I liked the layout of it.

    Horror Domain I do like this area actually. some nice coasters and theming.

    troposphere I don't know what it is about this area but sometimes I don't like it.

    Map 2 Resort Map

    I personally like this map more.

    Entrance Groovy. much better than map 1

    amazonia Me liked this area very much.

    CYBER Small but great. CYBER: time travel was awesome.

    Water parks were great, very nicely done.

    Hotels Pyro does a great job again. Parralel Hotel was groovy.

    Overall I wouldn't say its the best spotlight. But still a good park/resort. Nice hacks going on there and ideas. Can't wait to your future projects because there alot better than this :)
  • GigaForce%s's Photo
    I actually didnt like it

    the new hacks and themeing ideas were great
    themeing was VERY GOOD

    but i think it was a bit overtreed and, well i duno i guess i just dont really like it that much...not my style. Very realistic-like (i think..)

    I love GoD and Universal Tampa a masters legend, but this didnt hit the spot.

    Still a great park IMO, but maybe BARELY worth Spotlight...put it this way...it was MUCH better then IOAH ;)
  • REspawn%s's Photo
    certainly not the best spot IMO, but it did use some incredible hacks even X-sector or Buster would have thought of. WME, you are king. bow down to the lord of hacks.


    or not.

    Where are the Runner Ups?

  • Scarface%s's Photo
    hmm
    Lets c the runner ups so i can tell u if i thought it deserved spotlight !!

    loved the water park bit, that should win spotlight on its own but the main park wasn't my favourite.
    I liked the france area and alien area but the rest just didn't do anything for me
  • posix%s's Photo
    I think it was a nice park yet not spotlight worthy.
    The waterpark map was twice as good as the other and had Pryo's hotel which was just awesome and had one of the best tropical atmospheres I've ever seen.
    The rest was nice but too rocked and simple.
    Everyone who has seen GOD will probably agree with me that it should be the park winning spotlight instead of LER.
  • Twisted%s's Photo
    I wasn't too impressed by the park either.

    It had some great points like Pyro's hotel, infact the whole water park was pretty cool.
    I just wasn't as impressed with the actual park as nothing really stood out to me.
    Nice hacks throughout though.

    Oh well, better than anything I could do.

    Have A Nice Day!

    Just because it isn't as good as, say, the other spotlights, that doesn't mean it's not "spotlight worthy".

    Maybe the other parks went above and beyond the parameters of a spotlight park? And what do you mean when you say it isn't "spotlight worthy"? I've seen that several times, and still don't understand.

    You might as well elaborate in here, seeing as it's the Spotlight Discussion.
  • Themeparkmaster%s's Photo
    When I say a park isn't 'spotlight worthy' I mean that by my standards it isn't good enough to deserve the spotlight title.

    Now I know I dont choose what is and what isn't good enough to be a spotlight but this is a forum for me to express my opinions on the park and in my opinion I dont think it is spotlight worthy.
  • mantis%s's Photo
    But what does the 'spotlight title' really entail?

    By the way the spotlight is run, it's basically the best park sent in to spotlight in that 2-round time period. LER was the best park, hence it's spotlight. You can't really say it's not "spotlight worthy" until you've seen the runner-ups, as adam actually pointed out above.

    Sure, if you think that the runner-ups are better then you have every right to say that, but I think that everyone who immediately says it isn't "spotlight worthy" is jumping the gun.

    Plus, the last few spotlights have all been met with the same comments - I wonder if people are getting harder to please, or whether they're just not looking hard enough. This park was original enough to satisfy the "nothing new" people, and skillful enough to stop the "sloppy" people from complaining.

    Meh, this is clouded by my own personal opinion, but I hope i'm getting my message across.
  • Themeparkmaster%s's Photo
    Your missing the point though Mantis. Whether it was better then all the parks in it's round or not, if Iris didn't think it was a spotlight worthy park he wouldn't post it.

    Now, I dont think this is spotlight material, whether it is better then the runner ups or not. The same goes for a few of the recent past spotlights as well. In my opinion they, and their runner ups, have not been to what I would call the spotlight standard.

    Other spotlights, that I feel are worthy of the spotlight title, such as Tropico Horizons, Busch Gardens Lichfield and Auroras Bay, In my opinon, are in a different league to this park and other spotlights such as, HIOA, and Meadowbrooke Falls. Therefore I say I dont find them spotlight worthy.
  • mantis%s's Photo
    So if Iris had amazingly high standards we'd get no spotlights at all? There are some limits, and i'm glad I have a say in that too!

    I think maybe to put what you, and other people, are saying into a standard, anything in the top 10 of the list or similar is worthy, but anything not quite as impressive isn't. I think that if that was true, then spotlights would be very few and far between, and you wouldn't get the variation you see as it is. I think that several people have their 'lower limit' set far too high - parks such as HIOA or MF surpass most others, and yet don't seem to have what's needed to be spotlight.

    I'm just saying that because a park isn't impressive as, say, your favourite park, doesn't mean it isn't good enough for an accolade given to parks that are impressive enough to gain wide recognition.

    I'll agree to differ, that's what i'm here for, but I'd just suggest people be less quick to say 'not spotlight worthy', or at least explain better what they mean. I'm glad you've taken the time to do so.
  • Themeparkmaster%s's Photo
    I will be the first to admit that my standards are amazingly high, unfortunatly I can't meet them and neither can many parks that are released. That is one of the reasons I say that I find some parks not worthy of the spotlight. That statement probably sounds alot harsher then I mean it to be, it doesn't mean I find the park rubbish or boring or un-original it's just, as I said, I do have high standards and believe to win a spotlight (which is the highest achievement in RCT) the park should be of extremely high standard.

    I still think the park is more then worthy of gaining wide recognition but I would like to see the spotlight become more exclusive, as it once was. When you say that spotlights would be very few and far between you act as if it is a bad thing. Personaly I see it as being good. It doesn't mean great parks wont be released it just means that truly outstanding ones will recieve a status that is, and will stay, highly exclusive.
  • mantis%s's Photo
    But I think great parks would gain that status no matter what the spotlight was set up to be like. It's a good chance for so-called 'not spotlight worthy' parks to get a look in - and I think that all of the parks up on that page are worthy of it.

    Less spotlights would mean less reaction, and reaction is the best thing about it.

    With the sleight of amazing parks being built in RCT at the moment, you'll get your treats soon enough ;)

    Thanks for the explanations - now I know what you, and maybe some others, mean :)

    Hmm...nice to see a debate could be started with this thread.
    There will be a whopping 2 Runner-Ups to The Lost Era Resort.
    Basically, I think Lost Era Resort is a very, very nice park. Is it on the level of some of the other spotlights we've had around New Element? Probably not. But I think that in order for the great ones to stick out, there have to be some good ones. It was the best park submitted in an otherwise rather dismal spotlight round, so I felt it deserved to go up. It was really the only park submitted that I felt wouldn't detract from the Spotlight title.

    It still is an amazing park though, it's just that the resort map overshadows the theme park map. Still, lots of creativity all through here. The next spotlight is already picked, and I think will (hopefully) satisfy you hard-to-pleasers. But of course, I only post it after this thread gets 3 pages. I just think it's necessary so that Evil WME gets the fair amount of comments for his hard work.

    I will be posting the 2 runner ups as soon as my Cable Modem returns to function, Im currently on a crap 56K Dial-Up.
  • mantis%s's Photo
    Oi. Iris. I'm glad you've been brought down to our level for once ;) That'll teach you with your Cable :D

    You'll have to enlighten me about the new spotlight, although I have a sneaky suspicion ;)
