Description
Initially, my idea was to create an area dedicated to the world of Harry Potter. I submitted my park in October, but in the end, I decided that I could propose a more complete and polished project. I wanted to work on an area dedicated to The Lord of the Rings, and I also added a small Star Wars area to complete the park. So here is Trilogy Park, a world dedicated to the great film franchises of my childhood.
Hope you will enjoy it!

Well this is really nice to see. Absolutely beautiful park with a fun theme. The vibe is really nice throughout the whole park. Everything looks pretty cohesive also which is really cool given how different the theme of some sections are. The music also adds a lot for me. Great song choices from all of the trilogies that you are referencing here.
Foliage and Landscaping: I think this is the weakest part of the park (even though its still pretty decent). I had the same complaint about your previous park as well. While I really liked the object selections that you chose and there were a lot of really well done areas, there were also a lot of areas that felt like they lacked polish. For example, you have areas like this which look really good and really well thought out:
Then you also have areas like this where it looks like you just randomly threw down a few objects
I feel like I might be coming off as overly critical about this so I want to reiterate that I like the foliage is still better than average but I have higher expectations for you given how good everything else in this park is. I have similar issues with the landscaping throughout the entire park. Some area look top notch and other areas look a bit rough around the edges. I think there were a few too many rock objects for my liking in general.
Architecture: On the contrary, this is the highlight of the park for me. Every bit of architecture is extremely impressive. The castle blew my mind on first viewing. This half diagonal section is some of the best RCT I've seen in a long time.
This extremely high level of architecture continues throughout the entire park with honestly no weak buildings. Even the back stage stuff is really impressive. Good work!
Rides and Everything Else: I don't really know much about layouts (as anyone who's seen me try and make a layout knows lol) but your coasters all look like they flow well and look fun to ride. One of the things that really made this park special is all of the little details from the trilogies that you are referencing. For example, this little stars wars vehicle is built so well. I'm extremely impressed.
The spaceships, hobbit holes, and even the boat were really well constructed and look great! It really adds a lot to the atmosphere and vibe of the park.
The crunch could use some work in some areas of this park. Particularly on the lighter gray roads the crunch looks pretty rough. I wish you would have found some objects that blend better there. Otherwise, I don't really have too many other complaints.
Overall: I'm rating this 85%. Its really high level work which makes sense given your track record. I had a lot of fun viewing this and writing this review. You should be proud of the finished product!
First reaction is you are just such a special builder for this community. I had the pleasure of getting early access to this when you submitted it both times, and the level of detail and speed you harness in your releases is unmatched. More detailed comments coming soon but I just wanted to say thank you for all your amazing RCT.
Can't wait to check this out in detail - looks amazing. You're the king of half-diagonals haha
A really beautiful park. The theming is so effortless, and I really liked how this time you used your micro skills to great effect, while being a bit more modest about them. Where before you often put micro first, this had more balance with the macro. Your use of half-diagonals I found quite inspiring, as you apply a true 360° understanding of the map and directions the park can expand towards. It created a new sense of RCT that impressed me.
My main criticism would be the coaster design. While nice, I wish the coasters had been integrated better into the park. They were often aside on plain ground, disconnected from the world of the park. Even where the track was close to the (absolutely gorgeous looking) castle, it felt like there could've been done more to make it speak to its surroundings, or expose track elements to theming elements and paths better. It's not like you didn't do it at all, for example the spooked house with the trains passing through was great, and also the Star Wars section did this better with its coaster. But I still felt this was an aspect that could help receive more attention in the future.
Obviously well done though overall, very befitting for a red name. Congrats on the release.
Cool park overall. Having been to the Harry Potter studio tour in England recently, I appreciate what you have here a lot more than perhaps I have previously!
With the Star Wars area, would have been nice to have seen a bit more texture and grit.. seems a bit too smooth/polished. Regardless, it is my favorite area of the the three. Nice clean open courtyard with some nice shapes with the architecture. Cool custom ships and vehicles too.
The LOTR area is neat.. rare to see that IP explored in RCT. Just wish you went bigger with it perhaps? Seems a bit squat in comparison to the other two... and I'm thinking more of the Elvish (sorry I forget the name) side, not the Shire side. The Shire side is lovely.
Anywho, good to see you back sir!
Despite my joke in discord about the building the same theme as before, there is a lot to like in this map. The LOTR area is my favorite and I think the highest quality in terms of macro and general detail. you definilty improved upon the original wizarding world map with that area, I do wish that there was a bit more thought into the over all macro of the map though. It would have been a good idea to even out the areas so it wasn't a 60/20/20 split with harry potter being the largest. the other two areas feel like afterthoughts because of this. Your ride design in general feels a lot better this go around in comparison to previous maps as well. The only gripe I have is the single rail coaster. It just doesn't have a great flow to it and feels too short of a layout, granted it does look like there's more inside, but still. Overall, great park, but it doesn't quite hit that spotlight level for me.
