about the aerials. i've seen the error once now. but downloading the png and then opening it worked. so my guess is the browser rejects the image due to size.

fjrinbfhrlglufbftitebdhvyvdqwoy! This is...manificent! I can't belive this park is finally completed. I spent ages scrolling around the maps and the park is one of my favourites. I love Kumba's coaster layout and all of the theming. This is a one of a kind park. Well done for getting silver!

Sorry about the slow response on my part. I've been driving from California to Virginia. Thanks for all the comments so far.

So does anyone here actually download parks now or just look at aerials?

I've only looked at this once, so should give it another going over sometime, but I'll add this comment first. I was really impressed by the huge scale of the project, and you've done really well to complete two huge maps. Unfortunately, nothing really grabbed me and made me go 'wow'. Sure, you've got so much stuff - water parks, driving range, stadia, hotels... - but I've seen each one pulled off better in other parks. Granted that you're a bit unlucky as you started this five years ago... and since you have to build EVERYTHING you're going to take much longer than someone who just has to build a stadium, for instance. But yeh, it really did take the shine off the release for me, and hence nothing really grabbed me. Same goes for the actual park too... none of the rides really stood out for me, and I queried some of the general design choices, such as the coaster right by the entrance. I don't know... I find it difficult writing a somewhat negative review of a park which took so long to build and clearly had a lot of time and effort spent on it... but given that it's taken 5 years to complete, I guess some of the novel things you started in this have since been done. Hence, it all seemed a bit like 'quantity over quality' for me... and when I review a Spotlight park, I'm looking for both really.

I need to check out NE more often. haha....

I appreciate all feedback. Those that know me knows I don't build exactly how people expect. I still think my style is realistic in an old school way. I just enjoyed doing this and completing it and a big thanks to anyone who downloads and enjoys it. As of now, I'm making my usual "once in a blue moon" appearance and am attempting another massive project, hopefully a group project.
