I really thought the wooden coaster was well done. Maybe not in terms of realism, but I thought it looked very aesthetically beautiful.

Congratulations on the bronze, Goliath123!

Who made the overview with the gridlines on .

It seems a bit repetive in parts but I love the lift of that black coaster. (I can look at this one when I get home tomorrow, have rct2 at home )

Thanks everyone. I'll reply individually later on. Thanks too who ever made the logo, really catches the park in my opinion! Not to be mean to who ever wrote the right up, youv'e missed the description of two areas!

hmm

in some parts, this park was lovely and origional and had lovely atmosphere.
in others, it was clean stolen from other parks, and badly too.

all the layouts were pretty bad, and the foliage wasnt all to impressive either.

maybe a little harsh, but you know, i was looking forward to this release.

How where the layouts bad, there all right? Also i would like to know why some judges gave this a 9. Not even worthy of the bronze.

Yeah, now that I re-view it, I think I gave it a bit of a low score.. I think Bronze is the right award though..
This is what I said in the accolade forum;

Meh, too much copycat imo;

-mamba kilima (invert area)
-Park Asterix (woodie+foliage around that area and park)
-Zippo's (giant frisbee custom flatride, woodie station and architecture throughout (for example entrance area))
-Tim Burton (for example architecture beneath Sir Lancelot)

The area around Falkon Mines was original (I think), but then again, I didn't like there was nothing inside that giant building.. The layouts were nothing special neither..

I see he is trying to improve by copying others' work, I understand that and as long as the original creators are fine with that, I am too..
There are some nice bits here and there, but I don't know if it's enough..

The quality is there, now you need to focus on being original,

WTF Nothing was inspired by zippos apart from the frisbee. The architecture in mainstreet is nothing like zippo's, its cafes in zippos, mines like 5daves god dmanit Also python was inspired by black mamba not mamba kilima, again there not alike aprt from the theme.

that would be me. this is something gee and i have often been overextended with.

do you leave the grid on? do you apply the land texture smoothing? shit, would you even be daring and show peeps?? or coaster trains !

you sit in front of your monitor, you realise these questions are ridiculous, and yet they kinda stop you from aerialing. it's funny.

i like grid though, you know

goliath, the park showed great potential and dedication. i got the feeling as if you dived into your own park more than once and had vision when you built it. especially the huge dark ride struck me with this.

overall i would say your ride and path composition could become a little more consistent and planned out so you can achieve better 'interaction' of things.

i'm much looking forward to what you'll do next.

Thanks Po6! I appreciate the comment, i'll take it into consideration of better path planning.
Oh btw, i mapped out the whole Falkon mines layout, the rocks, out door, lift hill everything was planned, and in my opinion was pulled off really well.

Alright, so you've copied your entrance area from Canthose Valley and not Zippo's
Oh, and Mamba Kilima also is inspired by Black Mamba, so maybe that's why they look alike, but I couldn't help but notice you used the same textures and colours throughout.. Black Mamba does not look like that at all, too (I've ridden it a couple of times so I should know )..

A nice little park this. I reckon it deserved a silver all in all.

There are some nice areas within the park. The layout of the vertical indoor coaster wasn't to my tastes but otherwise I thought the layouts were good. The inverts layout was nice. I especially liked the finale.

Good work Goliath. Keep it up

The layouts definately were the weakpoint of this nice little park.
Moreover the theming wasnt well executed everywhere, e.g. the woody
station was really "detail-less".
Another negative aspect was the foliage, which looked randomly placed.

The strong points imo were the good hacks (Custom Flatrides) and the mine.
(+ some of the theming).

All in all I'd have voted 13 (maybe 14).

Looking forward to your next (Solo-) projects.

You really think we'd miss that? It was intentional as to keep the length relatively short while not giving the entire park away.

wait wait wait.

these are two separate coasters from two separate people?
why the heck did you copy it so closely man?
i mean, even down to the little ruins on the roof and the multicolored roofing tiles.

i would probably enjoy this more if it wasnt so blatantly similar to the work of others.

and for the record, the first thing i thought of when i viewed this park was 'Zippos'.
because of the bunches of buildings grouped together like that.

be more original next time man, and you'll get an even better accolade.
though i dont like the fact that this is so heavily inspired by others work, congratulations on the accolade win.
you've really really improved at this game since i've been around.

Why do people think zippos you should b thinking canthose, the only zippos inspired thing was the frisbee.
^Also i dont see what wrong with copyong the little details. A roofs a roof dont get so angry about it. The layout and amount of buildings and the landscape were different enough to make it unique.
Also ^^ why?
And steve why not make the write up exciting and long? Zippos had a really long one, a description of each area, even the little things like foliage. I'd of thought that for a fully themed park it would of been a bit longer.

Maybe cos zippo was a spotlight so it deserves more attention and a bigger review...
