    Congrats SSSammy and Airtime.

    A quite design, not mind blowing or marvelous, but quite.
    Like mentioned before, blocking a river doesn't make sense, a diversion would've been a better option.
    That station building also left a lot to desire.
    The statues around the park are cool though, but i believe one is missing?
    The RC boats are also nice.

    Edit: Wtf, your coaster just crashed while i was viewing it, all those peeps died or got heavily injured... oh oh oh, where's the safety? :p

    I liked this. Good coaster, good features around the map, and the typical SSSammy-atmosphere which is always unique. It's funny how you distinct a certain style only after that style era has ended. I mean to say that this map looks ridiculously H2H5-esque. Back then I considered that style to be so modern. Same for 2007 stuff, but that's not relevant here. :p

    [Blablabla] good work Sam (and Airtime). :)

    I loved how you separated the lake to let the coaster go through. I really thought that was brilliant. This really was a nice little design. It probably would've worked as a park too, but than you wouldn't have gotten as many points ;)

    All of that being said, the 3 times I opened this up sailfishes mechanics weren't around to fix it. I had to place them there myself. And the next two times it broke down with the train on the launches and ended up crashing or stalling. I know you really can't help that it was just annoying.

    I really did love this though. A lot f cool little things to see for sure.

    massive thanks to the accolade panel and release prep team for their votes and brilliant work on the screens, map, logo and writeup!

    thank you all for your kind words regarding the park. i'm not here to make excuses for it, it is what it is. thanks for all of you with such strong kind words to say in my general direction, it means a lot.

    as for airtimes inclusion in this, the park was teetering on the edge of completion for a really long time, and i asked airtime if he would like to come in to do that final leap from unfinished to finished. he did an excellent job and i really appreciate his help and it wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for him, so he deserves 20%. he also did the really fancy supports on the hill for the coaster. what a beast.

    attached here is a reliable patch, what i've been using for many years, and the reason why i never noticed the crashes. surprised more of you don't, actually.

    Revisited this recently and have to say It's still got a ton of charm.  Very cozy parkmaking.

    Bringing the write-up over via Wayback, written by Kumba

     

     

    It does not feel like two years have passed since SSSammy last won an NE Design with Windsweep, but indeed they have. Now he's back with a Sea World-esq park named for it's star coaster, Sailfish.


    The Intamin coaster starts with a launch into an over-banked turn that plunges into another launch that sends riders up a creatively supported tower of track that is a signature on these "Cheetah Hunt" style coasters. Like many a coaster these days, Sailfish is littered with great realistic details. Some of the best are on the end breaks and transfer station. The park's layout goes in a large circle around the coaster. Airtime pitched in with a good amount of work on the park, mainly with the landscaping which helped the park archive its charming atmosphere. In many areas SSSammy placed amazing sculptures of sea life. There is a sailfish at the entrance to Sailfish and also a giant sea turtle, sea horse, a tropical fish and a giant fucking-squid. Yes, you read that right. Curd as it may be, the "F-word" makes a cameo on the Mono-fucking-rail and also the Tsu-fucking-nami custom yo-yo coaster.



    Overall this a very good design and a solid release by one of the site's most popular members. The score seems low, but that could be due to the type of atmosphere SSSammy and Airtime went for. Recall Adelaar? Don't let that score get you down SSSammy, the smartest judge on the panel gave you a 90%, so it's all good. We can't wait for what you bring us next!
