    Bout damn time Little Dipper got the respect it deserves as the oldest continuously operating steel coaster in the US. 

     

    Really cool to see my local kiddie park in RCT. It was something I always toyed around with in my head and actually something I attempted years ago but the hacked flats held me back.  It's weird to see especially since I've biked by the park a few times in the past week! So huge kudos to you for recreating this small, obscure, but local classic. I love it!

    For such an unassuming real life reference point, and a tight deadline given you were in H2H, its impressive how well put together this park is. I'm glad it scored well given people recognize the quality and detail versus big flashy coasters. You'll be glad to know quite a few people I've talked to have been taking notes from this entry on how to include more texture on their recolorable NCSO entries.

    Your use of texture continues to be one of the best in the game, in my opinion. While NCSO often retains a very smooth, saturated texture inherited from the base game, your clever object usage helps push this park to a level of well-executed crunch rarely seen in this style. Not only that, but the functioning flat rides with the help of the plugin were just so fun!

    Great texture work and crunch with DKSO, and a great recreation (Always like seeing small parks get recreated). Cool to see a Herschell coaster with that much care and detail. Some excellent kiddie rides and mini golf too.

    Really nice release that deserves more comments. What's the context behind it, was it for a DKMP contest?

     

    You really nailed the gritty, grungy, 'crunch' of dirty American realism here, starting with the parking lot, in all its cracked, moss-covered, Crackhead Carl-infested glory. The fact that it uses recolored expansion scenery makes it all the more impressive.

     

    There are many cool techniques and scenery choices, like the telephone poles, the igloo roof rides, and the park sign with a snowman. I also like the usage of base blocks by the car ride and Little Dipper, as it makes the terrain look like turf. The foliage was also very nice.

     

    Overall this is an excellent park, and it's nice to see a release that's oriented towards more gentle rides. Also, despite the object selection, this is actually far more convincing and more realistic than most realism parks that use custom objects imo.
