I really liked the feel of this park. It was really clean, with nicely built buildings, and nice wide open paths. The only thing that held it back from v.p. imo (I was a judge) was the small size, and lack of variety in the rides. Either way, nicely done Pineapple! B)

Thanks guys. Yeh, it was a tad small. Lol.

I'm happy that the first park I release into the RCT Community is released as a Weekend Getaway as that was what I was aiming for! :lol: Expect lots more parks on the horizon from me. :D

Thanks, Pineapple

Congrats! It's great to have a Weekend Getaway again!



I saw a lot of things I really liked. I also like the fact that you made the decision to make a smaller size park, and then do it well rather than the mistake some people make to go with a huge bench and then have the results come out spotty as best. This gives me the expectation that when you are ready to take it up a notch you'll be able to do so, and we may have another VP in our future.



Great job...keep it up!

I was very impressed with the landscaping and the architecture of this park. I would have looked at it as a VP park if it were bigger (also a judge) and had more rides and themes. If this park is any indication of what Pineapple is able to come up with, then I'm confident we'll see one of his parks in the VP area soon.

Congrats Pineapple, well done.

I, being a judge, liked the park, and if it was bigger it would have been a VP park.

Well, other than the high g forces on Los Tikantos and Hirakin, this was a very nice park. You have to work on your coaster making abilities, but your archy is spot-on, and your use of "open space" is good, in other words your park is not too cluttered looking, something I like to see in a park.

So congrats Pineapple! :D

Congratulations Pineapple!

Nice park! The architecture was nice, and you filled up the park nicely but it wasn't over the top. I wish it was bigger though and the variety in the rides was stronger (Just like the judges have mention).

Oops...forgot to mention the judges in the first post...I'm correcting that now.

The judges were almost unanimous that the park was to be Weekend Getaway...and it was nice to see that it made it! I'd definitely say that if this park was full size with more structures, buildings, and rides, you would have been a VP contender...
