    I quiet llike this!

    The layout is not your typical GCI but it´s fast paced, has airtime and a really cool drop underneath the path. The watercoaster looks great, although I´m not a fan of the long indor part. The architecture looks great, really atmospheric and great colours (I dont like the station of the watercoaster though). Foliage and landscaping are looking good and refreshing. 

    Overall I´d say this is design worthy, well done!

    I love this design! The layout was quite nice and the atmosphere was lovely. The only thing I'm not quite a fan of is the watercoaster - it has a rather long underground portion and the top spin looks a bit out of place. However, I really loved the entrance and station area and the hiking trail was a nice idea. Hope it gets a design acolade, it deserves one!

    Right on the border for me, 65%.  Lots of nice little ideas and good use of unique NCSO objects that really gave it a nice flair.  Landscaping was especially nice.

    Wasn't this a Reddit contest entry?

     

    Folklore Falls is adorable,Sasquatch flows incredibly well and I love the drive under the pathway. I'm not sure if it's enough for design but I love everything that's here. Great stuff!

    This is GREAT.

    +Layout was great imo. A tad on the fast side but that's how I prefer these gci style woodies to look. Great interactions with the waterfall/river and the paths. Also loved the rock work around the tunnel and the queue entrance.

     

    +Bigfoots Mansion was really well executed. I thought the patchwork mix of rocky wall and pirate wall worked wonderfully. The purple windows stuck out a little though.

     

    +Loved the foliage and landscaping. Had a really effortless look and the mushrooms add that whimsical touch which makes your work so appealing.

     

     

    -Some of the architecture was not up to your usual standard imo. The western building wasn't very well integrated above those stalls, literally was just plonked on top. Perhaps it was put there by bigfoot? Water-coaster station looked a bit rushed too.

     

    -Very minor nitpick here - unnamed buildings. I get that naming can be tedious sometimes but for shops and stalls it can add of character and identity and help sell the theme.

     

     

    Overall a fun park, perhaps too simplistic and sometimes the architecture is a tad rudimentary but I can't help but love the classic RCT charm this has. Great coaster too. I voted 65

    Lovely design, true NCSO too! The coaster is great and the setting is really charming. The fronts on Folklore Falls, Bigfoot's Mountain Mansion and even that unnamed nuggets stall were wonderful. Outstanding landscaping too, very lush and atmospheric.

    Charming as ever, in contrast to what could otherwise have been a menacing and dark theme. I especially liked the fast pace of the coaster - really diving over the hills and through the turns and giving, I would imaging, a rough and exciting ride befitting the creature. I was particularly fond of the area's path map too, being essentially a noose and proving that layouts don't have to be circular to work/keep the peps from getting lost. The nature trail was a pleasant addition and break from the norm, and the dead-end by Folklore Falls was plenty for its purpose, keeping the area from being laden with path and drawing attention to the well situated lake and foliage.

     

    Very nice work overall. A great coaster with an abundance of complimentary  and well themed rides, all set amongst a pretty landscape.

    Thank for the replies guys.

    MCI: Thanks! I hope it's design worthy too! We'll see I guess. More than anything I'm just glad I could finish this and send it in.

    soluna: Thanks. The underground section of the water coaster is indeed a bit long. In real life it would just be a straight lift to the station, but I didn't think it was necessary to hack it in since it was underground anyways.

    G Force: Thanks for the video review man! Always great to see these of your own work.

    Coasterbill: No it wasn't. Thanks for the compliments! 

     

    nin: Thanks. 

    alex: Thanks, I agree with your points.

    Kumba and choco: Thanks for the nice words! Let's hope the accolade panel thinks the same!

    I know how you feel bro.

  • bigshootergill%s's Photo

    I know how you feel too. I was gypped an accolade for my park by such a small margin too. However, I am happy to share some good news with you Faas. YOU IN FACT DID WIN A DESIGN ACCOLADE!!!! There appears to be a minor issue with the accolade calculator, I noticed the numbers were slightly off on the one I lost out on, but it wasn't enough to earn a bronze even with the adjustment so I didn't bring it up at the time.

     

    Crunching the Sasquatch votes:

    80+75+65+65+65+65+65+60+55+55 = 650 / 10 = 65%

     

    Right on the nose!!! Perhaps one of the admins will adjust this to rightly give you the accolade you deserve. Congrats, it was a cool design!

    ^Top and bottom votes aren't counted.

  • bigshootergill%s's Photo

    ^ I knew the highest & lowest weren't counted, but I was under the impression that they didn't display them on the list at all. Oh well, I'm going to leave my last comment as is, it'll make Faas feel better :D

  • Louis!%s's Photo

    Such a shame. It was indeed borderline, but it's a shame to see you miss out by so little.

     

    Maybe next time! Go get that spotlight and design to complete the set!

  • MCI%s's Photo

    Damn that was close!

    Better luck next time :/

  • ScOtLaNdS_FiNeSt%s's Photo

    wow. shame was a nice little piece of work here. faasure next time....What a shitty pun

  • Cocoa%s's Photo

    what a neat little design. I really loved it, good architecture landscaping layout etc. maybe a bit small which is what doomed it but a solid faas release nonetheless
