Yes, it would be very helpfull.
But.....
I think that if screenshots are placed, many people will not take the minute it takes to download it anymore, and will tend to judge (and later vote) from just seeing the screenshot.
Just a screenshot can not do any park justice if you want to vote for it (even if it is a very small park), so this might be why Becky does not post screenshots. (just my guess...)

You can lead a horse to water, but....... you can't make it drink it! :wacko:

If there is to be open-ended judging on this contest, that is, judging without any criteria, then you are leaving yourself open to a greater range of mis-interpreations (i.e. bad judging quality) regardless of whether there is a screen shot or someone opens a park and never say uses "underground view", "remove verticals/horizontals", "remove scenery", etc.

The files are so small, I don't think screens are necessary. I can relate to wanting to see stuff while at work, (i'm there right now), but no screen just gives you something to look forward to when you get home.


I still plan to download and carefully inspect every park for what I "think" is the best holiday park. My criteria, includes not only scenery and layout, but also ride quality. I mean it's an amusement park not a museum. Think of the virtual reality here. If I were to actually visit each and every park, which one would I enjoy the most during the holiday season.

I agree with you about building up the anticipation to rush home and download the park and in normal situations I'd have no problem with that, but I happen to have hundreds of boxes at home waiting for me to pack them :angry:

Plus, I just wanted a sneak peek to see what you all were talking about. I didn't want to be left out in the cold. ;)

I'm already anticipating the next park. Can't wait to see what you all came up with.

Well, thanks. :)

I like my entry, but it's a little weak in some spots. I've been busy with the cell project and packing, not that I have any more excusses than anyone else. :P

I can't wait to see all of the entries. What I've seen on this site in the past, there should be some very interesting stuff, and, more than likely, better than mine, but that's OK 'cause that's what makes it fun! :lol:

Colorful but a poor job on park layout. It seemed very crowded. Five rides in a 17x17. If you ask me that's a bit too much. I also didn't like how the park looked really bad from one angle (From behind the wild mouse building). I think in building minis like these, the trick is to use quality instead of quantity. ;)

That's one way of putting it :P

btw could you keep a bit more consistancy in naming the park? TWO and #1 don't give much of a good list on my harddrive :saint:

You could just rename the file to #2 when you download it. But yes it would be more convinient Becky.

I don't really understand what this park was supposed to be about. Seemed like kind of a bunch of random things.

Hmmm.. Whoever made this one probably had fun with it. So kudos for that. Honestly, I like the tiny mini-coaster. I'll have to remember that next time I need a kiddie coaster in a park and I don't have much space. I also like the idea of using the monorail as a thrill ride.

I'm sorry...I started with #1 and then realized that didn't do too well with uploading so I changed. All the rest of the parks will be like TWO, THREE, FOUR...etc...so yeah

Just change #1 to ONE
