    Wow wow wow, the level of creativity here is pretty awesome.

     

    + Love that the whole park was themed around this epic, immersive ride.

    + Great hacks and trackitecture nuggets throughout
    + The motorbike on top of the raptors really stayed true to your storytelling

     

    I voted it 100% which some may find crazy, but I don't think I've ever enjoyed a NCSO release so much especially a coaster that is so well executed.

     

    You are one to watch.

    Wow this was so cool. I'm not even sure we've ever seen this kind of dueller idea of merging several trains onto the same track. It was compelling to watch this ride. And to make a steeplechase this interesting to look at is quite an achievement.

    I also thought the Jurassic Park theme was well done. It's a hard one to get right with its mix of "tropical technocracy", but I think you've achieved it, and it further amplified this park.

    A very nice and refreshing little debut. I hope it wins its accolade.

    This map is insane! Incredibly clean, tons of fun little details, clever hacks, great ideas all around. I kept discovering new things after every turn. Coaster layout is insane. Rapids with the vertical lift and moving station platform is so well done. 

     

    Amazing work. Hope to see more from you!

    First of all I couldn't start this review without congratulating you on that fossilized sculpture, man it's so cool, one of my favorites I've seen lately. There are lots of great ideas in this little park, lots of creativity, something charming and quite unique in your approach to building : the indoor part of the rapids, the entrance sign of Raptor Run, Little Wings etc… Even though it's very old-school, it's also very fresh in a way. My main complaint is the rigidity of the structures, but this can easily be fixed !

    yeah i echo what everyone is saying here. this is a remarkable little beast. it is so novel and well executed. build more for us congoy

    This is the coolest steeplechase I've ever seen. Awesome work!

    Wow what a fun coaster! A 5 way coaster in such a small space is super impressive, its really clean and super cool. My favorite section is the two tier sections with the long neck dinos. I really love the river rapids! The 3d cinema is used so well. The conveyor belt is super sick. The little wings is the cutest drop tower ever. That little dino skeleton is so well done! Really cool park congoy!

    Great stuff Congoy. Really unique steeplechase idea. Great layout, great racing. Love all the theming throughout the land. Creative use of WWTT objects as well. I agree with Babar in terms of structures - very boxy overall. Could've used a little more attention in terms of foliage - perhaps something other than just green! Minor gripe. Congrats on the release!

    Love this concept, it's so fun to watch. And done very smoothly with some impressive work timing things, and the switch mechanisms are a simple and effective detail. The park itself if good too, cleanly done and the ride sign is so good.

    I don't have much to say that hasn't been said already but I liked it a lot and it was a very unique style of coaster that reminds me of one of Roomie's LL coasters with a splitting train. I'll probably view it a few more times in the future.

    Indeed, taking a second look at this and it's really nice. Don't think I've seen a steeplechase layout like this before and honestly it's really really well done. I also love the subtle detail of having the car that finishes last be a motorcycle.

    Thank you all for the wonderful feedback so far. Reading the overwhelmingly positive comments and words of encouragement has put a smile on my face all week! And thank you to the panelists for awarding this with the design accolade, that is the cherry on top. I don't think I could have asked for a better debut here on NE, wow!

    Damn this is awesome Congoy! Never seen a steeplechase like this before and I'm glad you changed that. Love the start where all the raptors jump out of the gates at the same time. The maintenance area is very nice as well and I always love a moving conveyor belt for a rapids ride.

     

    The foliage felt like you picked a couple of random tree/bush objects out of a hat lol. I like the diversity and density of it in certain places but wish there was some more thought put into creating a more cohesive package.

    This sculpture is awesome, if only there was a dino themed front-car to really make this a 10/10. Nonetheless one of the best dino sculptures I've ever seen, great stuff!

  • Liampie%s's Photo

    Amazing debut! The skeleton sculpture, like has been pointed out already, is fantastic. I had to deconstruct it a little to figure out how you did it (the toes, in this case). There's more instances of cleverness on this map. I love how you used the 3D cinema in combination with the rapids.

    The central coasters are obviously cool, but I wish they had a more notable, eye catching set piece. Something of a climax perhaps. If you made a graph of how exciting the ride is, it would be something of a flat line. But that's definitely a nitpick.

     

    Looking forward to seeing your next release.

    I would like to thank everybody one more time for the warm welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed this design.

    The compliments have been fantastic -I never get tired of reading those- but now that I'm starting to come down from the excitement of the debut, I appreciate the critiques as well, so I welcome any additional feedback if there has been anything else left unsaid. I have taken note of these learning opportunities so far:

    I agree with this, buildings are a bit too boxy, especially the rapids building in my opinion.
     

    Could've used a little more attention in terms of foliage - perhaps something other than just green! Minor gripe.

    I thought about adding flowers but decided against it at the time. To be honest, I didn't even try it out, and now reading this piece of feedback makes me think maybe it would be better with some accent colors after all, you are probably right.
     

    I like the diversity and density of (the foliage) in certain places but wish there was some more thought put into creating a more cohesive package. 

    Agreed, it's a bit random. I was moving fast and built this design in a total of 3 weeks, lol, but that's no excuse, there is definitely room for improvement.

    Describing the excitement as a "graph of a flat line" has unlocked something in my brain. You are right about the coasters in this case. I often think about how to design ride moments in an organic way, but this method has brought those thoughts into focus, great feedback!

  • Description

    Universal Studios has partnered with S&S to bring back the steeplechase coaster under their Jurassic World IP as Raptor Run. This old classic has been upgraded with redesigned ride vehicles, a 30mph launch, and state-of-the-art track merging technology. Take a ride with Delta, Echo, Charlie, Blue, or the Motorbike, and race through the dinosaur enclosure as part of your very own raptor squad. Raptor Run is here to put the chase back in steeplechase!

    This design was created with NCSO from RCT2/WW/TT.
