    IOA is no more. I have zero inspiration to completing it and I feel that even if I did, the work that is on it is at a much lower skill level than im currently at. The work in my latest solo project is so much better than this I could never go back and finish it so, unfortunately, im releasing it here unfinished.

    Ad Topic

    Sorry about this guys but I really don't feel like dragging this project out any further.

    dang. I was hoping to see this finished one day, it was one of my favorite parks in the ad. Well, Im glad youre still releasing instead of quitting on it and never releasing it at all. thanks.

    -after I view it, I'll be back...

    This could have been your ticket to a Spotlight and you bailed on it.

    Wow.
    Jurrasic Park was stunning. <3'd the electrical fences. if you'd have completed just that area...
    I was kind of turned off majorly at Toon Island.. not sure how it could be done better, but it seemed kind of an ugly blotch in the middle of the park.
    I can see where you started losing inspiration around the park.. it looks kind of like you just got lazy with the superhero part, which is a shame; it looks great [what's there.] I take it Venom would've been a Spiderman [the ride] type thing? Scarab's Flight looked great, and the atmosphere from the entrance area was fantastic.. though most of the completed portion of the park seemed rather empty. whatever the Poseidon area was seemed to lack any attractions and the entry was devoid of much of anything.
    What would've been the mostly empty areas, i.e. that theater?

    Thanks for the replies so far.

    nin: Appologies for not getting it finished I just really have zero inspiration to finish it. As ][ntamin22 said, I did start getting lazy with it and when theres still that much of the park to get done it will seriously look a mess. Looking forward to hear what you thought about it.

    Steve: See above ^

    Zodiac: Thanks man.

    ][ntamin22: Cheers man. Your correct about me losing inspiration around the Superhero section and the venom ride would have been a spider man like dark ride or another kind of custom flat ride.

    I agree about it looking rather empty which is another reason I wanted to drop this. The Poseidon area was supposed to be like Atlantis but I don't think it came out that well. I originally had a water coaster in the mountain on this area but it looked odd so I got rid of it.

    The area with the theatre would have been my take on Seuss Landing but again this was when I lost the inspiration with the park. I was quite happy with how Scarabs Flight came out and this would have been in the Mummy themed section of the park.

    Thanks for the replies so far.

    I downloaded this a few days ago, and that's what has me so worried for the first round. Your skill demonstrated here plus codex makes it absolutely impossible for me to make it to round two, no matter which game I use or what I make.

    honestyly I'm not that sad to see this die... bits were really good/could have been very good but other parts weren't real great imo... plus you can and are doing better stuff right now so it's good you can finally let go and concentrate on that now ;)

    Thanks for sharing, I never saw this either. I loved it! Real quality work. The entrance section was just beautiful. The colors used throughout the park were awesome, really well done. I would have been really excited for Silver Valley had I known about this beforehand.

    I hope to see more from Loopy in the future!

    Agreed. The entrance area, Atlantis and the Jurassic area are top tier excellent stuff. If Loopy retired after this like nate with Ouest and spartan with Lost Tours, I reckon that this park would be similarly iconic.

    Looks like I added this park to the system but I don't remember seeing it. Quite nice, not as hack-manic as his later stuff. The enormous land elevations give this a strong semi-realistic touch. I feel he overdid them a bit in all of his projects back then. Good to see the green path used for once. Rare enough.
