    It was me holding this back.

     

    Sorry about that, my apologies.

     

    Congrats on Spotlight.

    I know that I won't be able to write a proper review anytime soon, even though I want to highlight all the little bits of awesome content in this park, but for now I can say that I'm really impressed by how you created this new, unique aesthetic without even using Codex at all, and that I'm really happy that this won spotlight. Not just because the last LL spotlight has been a while ago, but mostly because you deserve it. Congratulations. Can't wait for the next spotlight. Last time someone won two within a year was... Artist in 2005? edit: No, JKay a few months after Artist.

    Anyway, now vote on Firestorm, all of you. Stop slacking!

    I'm sorry I didn't vote on this but LL runs like crap for me on this device. Didn't want to view your park like that.

     

    Alex, if not you to conquer the LL spotlight, who else. I'm happy for this moment. Congratulations on entering the club of greats in the original game. So much respect for you.

    75% with a yes seems like an odd vote. Honestly interested what moved you to do that, Louis.

     

    Congratulations on the spotlight, Alex! Loved this park. 3 spotlights in one (half) year. Last time that happened was 2011. Also, 2016 has already seen more spotlights than the past four years together.

    Cheers everyone! I'm amazed this got all yes votes. It's made me really proud reading all the comments too.

     

    @][22, thanks so much for taking the time to write a thoughtful and in-depth review. As usual most of your observations hit the nail on the head. Particularly in regards to the weakness in the coaster lineup; Moonlight Magic and A Day at the Races. Unfortunately I couldn't find a way of making the Racers longer without it just becoming a mess of track, so in the end I sacrificed a proper ending in favour of aesthetics. Also regarding breaks -  the 'open' section of the stations is supposed to be read as a break run, but I can see now this wasn't clear enough. Moonlight Magic fell into the same trap of form over function - I wanted a coaster that acted as a border to the park and framed some of the buildings and arcades. Whilst it works for filling some awkward gaps and makes a good backdrop, In terms of being an interesting ride it does fall short. Regardless, I'm very pleased with how Cyclone turned out as well as the flying turns and virginia reel.

     

    @MCI, thanks for doing a video, it was fun to watch. Glad you like the park so much too. The cyclone coaster is actually based off the old crystal beach cyclone - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Beach_Cyclone

    rather than the one which still exists at Coney island.

    Detail and idea-wise this park is fantastically done but there's just something about it that holds me back. Not sure if it's just the unorthodox park layout or the amount of water, but it just didn't come together entirely for me. It's still great, but as a whole there's something odd about it and I was never sold.

     

    Congrats on the win, however.

    I really like this! I sometimes wish this was real!

  • historyfreak92%s's Photo

    but about the cyclone i wish the ratings were very high on it because it looks like a fun coaster!

  • GigaG%s's Photo

  • Xeccah%s's Photo
