    I really enjoyed this! Very nice clean-style NCSO. My favorite part is the water park; so very well done and packed with a surprising amount of detail. The whole park has a nice small-town park feel that I enjoy a lot.

     

    I think the foliage outside of the park was a weak point; though it looks like you just removed the park borders and left it as is from the scenario - the foliage inside the park is great.

    How have I never thought of this with the sign on the swinging ship?! That's so perfect.

    Really really clever use of map space, fantastic park.

    I love how relatively simplistic yet beautiful this is. Really enjoyed looking around the park. Particularly love the waterpark and how well done the waterslides are - especially the steep cablelift back up to the station, and the use of banked bobsleigh track for the corners.

    Quite a nice park, some good details throughout with some nice object use. The water park is probably my favorite part, especially the slides themselves.

    Yeah this is awesome! Simple but super charming, and I admire the restraint in not forcing in any coasters.

    A really pleasant classic look. I would guess that the waterpark was built later than the lake section. It appears to have more detail and complexity. All of it is nice, clean and readable. The path under the lake probably shouldn't be visible though.

    definitely more impresive than i thought from the overview. the park is sparse and small-scale but nice. the waterpark really shines though---full of energy and great slide design. lovely stuff

    The pool area looks very nice. I didn't really like the way the entrance was set up though.

    I do wonder what the random piece of yellow grid land does close to the river.

    Whats up with the water jet close to the burger stall at the entrance? Is it suppost to be some kind of sprinkler? I don't really get it.

    It's a shame a lot of the rides aren't named.

    The park could have used a bit more music I think, especially in the pool area it felt really quiet.

    overall not a bad park, would have loved to see a bit more polish in things like the naming and foiliage. I understand it's a scenario so I wont deduct to much for the crappy foiliage in the rest of the map but sometimes the transition from your more detailed foiliage to the default foiliage is quite jarring.

    I adored this, very clean and to the point which I like.

    Two things is that I would have liked to see an entrance building or gate to the park, and a small coaster or other tracked ride would have been cool to see. 

    Great job thoug, and I would love to see more from you.

    Awesome small scale peepable water park. Hacks for the textures on the flat ride bases and queues are all so simple and effective. I do think another, bigger ride might fight in the main park somewhere (that waterfall seems awfully conspicuous by itself...) but love the atmosphere overall.

    It is no secret that I have soft spots for both water parks and realistic NCSO, so this one is certainly a pleasure to explore. Even though it is not entirely NCSO, the spirit of it is alive and well here, and you have done well to make the most of each object--scenery, track and otherwise--in your bench. The park is understated while also being filled with life in every corner--you've successfully created a relatable park experience from a scenario map without compromising the aesthetics, and that is rarely done so well with Sawyer scenery alone.

     

    The buildings are realistically simple when they need to be (ride stations, food kiosks) and grandiose when the area calls for it (the water park entrance), so I echo Alex's applause for the restraint you've shown here--building for the park is a necessary skill, and sometimes the park calls for less rather than more, so you've kept it consistently charming throughout simply by allowing it to be real. The custom flat rides (especially that lovely swinger) are well in line with this level of functional authenticity.

     

    The one aspect of this park that needs considerably more attention is the foliage. In this park, I see shades of Starpointe, Evergreen Gardens, and another beautiful NCSO map with plenty of rich details to offer, so the next step for you would be to look closely at the foliage in the parks that have influenced you and see what sorts of shapes and textures the builders have created. Your detail work is lovely... now it is time to apply that same level of precision to the natural elements!

    Nice park. I agree with Alex. I also agree with Astroturd about the path under the lake. Seems  a bit odd... I like the waterslides, although the endpoint is rather short. With the momentum the boat has, the distance would be too short in that pool to slow the boat down properly. Aside from that it's really nice. The custom swinger also looks lovely.

    this is way cuter than i was expecting
