    and so begins my catchup of reviewing parks- i'll go in reverse order chronologically so eventaully when i bump everything it'll all be back in the general order it was before.

     

    nice work terry! a pleasant and straightforward realistic ncso park. I don't think it breaks any ground or does anything particularly exciting compositionally, but the work is good and I can appreciate the effort gone into making it clean and detailed. Your layouts probably need a bit of work but you seem to have a good eye for realistic park layouts and filling out a real theme park. My favorite bit was probably the area around the arrow looper, as well as some of those tall theater sign things.

    Sorry for the late review. Your style of NCSO with the glass walls overlapping brick is distinctive. Also, I have no problem with your usage of trackitecture. I like having that much personally.

     

    The rockwork around Buzzsaw Falls was amazing. The waterpark area was really well done too. The use of different pieces like flying saucer floors for the water playground thing were new and innovative to me. Definitely something I will use in the future. I'm easily wowed by things like a lazy river.. that was scenic as well.

     

    I agree with others that the layouts at times were a tad off. The Rock'n Roadster could've used a taller top hat IMO. Still a fun layout otherwise. I enjoyed the wooden coaster a lot. Simple and classic layout. Also in that region of the park, the duck shooting gallery was really cool, and the rocket ship custom flat ride next to it was good. 

     

    Your attention to detail is amazing especially with it being NCSO. At times, its easy to forget this is NCSO because theres no lack of micro detailing that otherwise would be done with deco trim or something. Using the tile inspector I assume to its full capacity and creative use of different track pieces and fences worked well I think. I really enjoyed this park.. sorry I didn't review it sooner!

    I didn't review this? Well, here I am looking at it again.

     

    This park is so Knott's. Buzz Saw falls in particular is a bit of a mess of rocks but it really fits the vibe I think you were going for. I like how you use trackitecture to elevate your architecture rather than outright carrying it. (Okay, except maybe in front of Kingsnake, that's a little glitchy but I got the point.) Some of the layouts/custom supporting is a little bit of a stretch, but then you have elements like that little temple in Fiesta Cruisers. So nice. The waterpark is also a highlight for me, but I love waterparks, so what can I say?

     

    Looking back at this point, I think I'm a little less blown away. Still somewhere between 75-80%, but maybe on the lower end. It got 75.00% exactly, and I think that's what it deserves. I really hope to see more from you soon.
