Wow! That was a great park, nice scenery and all that stuff. To answer X250 question: have you tested the control key? I've put stuff 170 m in the air... Try it out.

Beautiful park Rog... amazing actually! This kind of work (play ;) ) makes me want to give up playing RCT, I could never come close to building a park such as this. Congrats and many pats on the back and kudos for a job nicely done! The mind truly can take a vacation at this park.

The hotel is amazing, i really must know how you build buildings that high up! Do you have a huge monitor or something?!

Ctrl+Shift, then you can move things up very high.

Part 3: Day 1 Part 2

After getting off Comet, it was 10:45 AM and we were thristy and we got a drink a peice from one of the park vending machines. Dave's was Pepsi and mine was a Mountain Dew: Baja Blast. Huh, I thought they didn't sell it anywhere besides Taco Bell. Oh well, We headed to the Dale County Cruiser. This was a walk-on, strange I thought. We walked into the front row and sat down. We headed up the first hill, OHMYGAWD! :lol: Next thing we know were flying down the first hill! We flew up the fourth hill, Amazing, I thought. It was all over as our train hit the brake run, I'm impressed at this point. We passed the rapids ride for later. We were hungry by now so we headed to Joe's Grill and who did we sit behind? Mark Metropole, of course! I found this out from asking when he passed us when we got our food. I had a wonderful Double Cheeseburger and it was covered in mustard and cheese! I loved every bite, Dave had a Sirloin Steak he liked his meal too. Walking out with a packed stomach and greased covered lips :P . We headed to the sky diver ride for a ride. It was fun sure enough! The park itself was beautiful IMO. Trees as far as the eye could see!..... Next Part 4: Day 1 Part 3

Congradulations RWadams,with a park of that quality I can see why there were no runners up. Trust my luck to get entered against a park of such high calibre. Hopefully I will be able to get my park up soon although it is blown away by the quality of this park.

Wow. Beautiful. Great park, RWAdams. I truly think it will set a new standard for VP's for the future. Well, here are my thoughts about the park:

The architecture was simply wonderful, each building was unique in its own little way, yet still managed to carry out its theme. Everything was amazingly detailed. I can see how this took you over a year, the amount of detail that went into every little thing was astounding. I don't think that I've seen anything that was this detailed throughout before. Absolutely stunning. I'd also like to commend you on your use of the quarter glass pieces. Perfect. Excellent. There were some points when "visiting" your park, that I noticed the foliage. Nobody has said anything about it yet. It was fantastic. The bushes, bullrushes and everything were placed very well, and it really held the theme together. You also didn't use trees as fillers, a very nice +. Oh yeah, the color usage was great. These things are why this will set that standard I was talking about. And these things are why this won't go down as the best park in history: :wait:

You overused the things right under the coasters as supports. I forget what they're called. :P The Vertical Shuttle coaster was unridable! It had over 10 for intensity, I didn't like that. Although the architecture was brilliant and the atmosphere was there, there was a Meditteranian section on the eastern part of the park near the Giant Dipper. It looked really out of place, as the park didn't really have any "themes", and it was near very nuetral areas. I also thought that the coasters were too close to each other. Hmm...I guess that's it, I could of sworn there was more I noticed.

Anyways, very nice park. I'm sure that it will fair well in the ORCA voting for "Top VP". Nice brochure, Metropole; nobody has mentioned it yet. Well, great job. Your hard work is paying off.

Sambo is the one who does the brochure, Metropole did the walkthrough which in itself was a piece of art. But we really need to give some credit here to someone who is always overlooked in the whole VP thing and that is Sambo! Samster is the man who is our graphics guru here and does it in real life too. (where he actually gets paid for his services) Sam is the man behind the brochure, always has been, he did an outstanding job on the brochure this time and as always it very much helps to "present" a good park in a good setting... many thanks Sambo both for this months brochure and all the other ones you have quietly done in the past. I think you should give yourself a raise!

Indeed, Sambo is brilliant! It's always a nice surprise to see what Sam did on the brochure, and the South Beach brochure is amazing once again.

Metro did an awesome job too on the walkthrough, as well as Becky did organising all of this!

Rog, this is a great park, with some of the best architecture I've seen rct-wise..
Finally your deserved (solo) VP, and I hope to see many more work from you in the future!
