  I also wasn't very enthousiastic about this than most of the rest. The overload of 1K ruins made the park look very messy and it was disturbing. I think you could do the archy better, I've seen some better archy from you. Coaster layouts weren't that good, not bad but nothing special. 

   

  Though it has some atmosphere. I really like how you've build those bridges btw. Overall I think this was more a bronze than a silver.

  This overuse of 1k ruins ruins it for me! architecture could be a little bit better too.

   

  Otherwise i really like the interactions and ideas in this little park. Not something special, but still good work!

   

  60% imo

  Well this is certainly a wide range of feedback. lol

   

  First of all thank you everyone for checking out the park. Even if you didn't like it I still really appreciate you taking the time to look at it and write up your feedback. For those that did like it, I'm really glad to hear it.

   

  It's funny that there are some people who love it and think it's gold quality and it's better than Sunset Vista, a park that took over 2 years to build and then people that think it deserves a 40% vote. 

   

  I'm not too surprised at the range here because I took a risk with this park. I knew when I was building it that some people would hate the ruins and some people would probably like them, and I knew that it was a little brown but I was just building for fun (maybe more than I did with Sunset Vista) and didn't care. 

   

  The bench was a little limiting (because I didn't go with the snow theme that it was designed for) and I would have liked to vary up the rocks a bit more and I would have killed for path blocks and custom B&M supports but I still had a ton of fun with this.

   

  When building a large scale project I love to get feedback from the community, improve things, tweak things and share the park with people for detailed feedback along the way but with Reddit contest parks like this it's sometimes fun to just commit to an idea, say "screw it I'm having fun and building this for me" and then submit a park out of nowhere with no clue how people will react to it. That's basically what this park was.

   

  Thanks again for checking it out everyone! I love reading your feedback, both positive and negative.

  Oh and thanks to Robbie for his detailed review on Twitch. He was nice enough to archive it for me so here's the link if anyone's interested.

  Bill I think you have so much talent, and personally I love this.  Between this and Sunset Vista, it's clear that you have a talent for making things NEAT...an art that can be difficult to achieve with the emphasis on detail and the variety of objects now available.  You are especially adept at ride entrances, queues, and the way you incorporate transport rides (trains, chair lifts) around paths and rides.  It's all too easy to simply stick a train on the outskirts of a park, looping around the map without getting in the thick of the park, but you definitely resisted that temptation and it paid off.  The use of signs, too--when not tactfully done, can be an eyesore, but you really incorporate the RCT signs in very nicely. And of course, your parks are so peep friendly, which is another quality that I feel adds so much life to the park.

   

  I would've liked to see more length to the coasters, but this seems to be a trend these days.  

   

  Overall, I gotta say your work reminds me of the kind of early semi-realism style that permeated NE some ten years ago when I first joined.

  This was good. The dive machine was decent and I loved the mine train. That was brillaint. Clever idea with the splash down, good timeing though the splash should be behind the train technically. Shame about those 1k rocks but oh well.

  I liked this. It was really ballsy with some cool ideas and while your balssy-ness didn't always pay (a bit too many rocks) I do enjoy your presence here since it is a breath of fresh air. Keep playing!
