Hmmm well to be brutally honest, I dont think this deserved VP. The only reason I could see this park winning would be because there were absolubtly no good parks submitted, but I doubt that because I know RCT2.com has some wicked parks around at the moment.

Emerald city? what a let down, after everybody was saying it looked amazing, I was completely dissapointed, the architecture just looked dated and blocky IMO. The only coaster worth mentioning was the Wicked Witch, it had aa nice layout, but it was a lil heavy on the brakes before the corkscrews (I hate brakes before elements) My coaster was totaly crap, Il admit that now, the flying monkies was too slow and looked plain, side from a few trees there was no theming. The rocket coaster was un origional. The woodie was just plain ugly.

After such a wonderful VP in Wisconsin, this months park IMO was more like a hidden park. Im sorry but if this is the quality of the most prestigeous award at RCT2.com then I think il avoid wasting bandwidth on future VP's and just simply not download them.

Guys he did not die. k, get handcuffs and some concrete and lets try again :devil:

I think that this park was great and by all means deserves the award. It has been worked on for awhile and the idea for the park was awesome! Good job RCTI!

Indy :wait:

I am not surprised at the comments for this park. This park is outdated...we started it in February...and if comparisons are going to be made to Wisconsin...lets just say that had this park been entered for that month...this park would have been like all the other parks...not a winner or runnerup...

Emerald City was a very intimidating section for our club members. The ones who were brave enough to try this area ended up bailing out...and in the end..supertrooper did it so we could get this park done.

Could the park have been better? Well of course...any park could be better. Having already spent 6 months on the park..it was time to finish it.

I think ToonTowner summed it up best by saying:

Still a nice park with some creative ideas and flashes of excellent parkmaking.


John - Disneys Tilted Acres doesnt factor in to this equation...since it was entered for next months VP.

Keep your comments coming....good or bad...

Thanks for the good comments, and thanks for the not so good comments as well.

Although I thought we did a decent job on Oz, I was suprised it won VP. I think the park did not live up to it's potential mainly because it was started so long ago and lacked really useful custom scenery. So, I don't fully disagree with the negative comments the park is receiving...if anything, the comments will make us complete parks quicker in order to keep them "fresh". Hopefully.

It was well, um... okay, it's really not spectacular, but it is a great park. When do we know the runner-ups? I would be curious to know what they are, as I was certain Disney's Tilted Acres would blow the competition away...

Great Job Guys! :)

I believe AP said the 27th. (correct me if I'm wrong AP...)

Thanks for all the feedback. As you can well imagine, no park submitted to date has been perfect. (sorry cBass) No park will ever be. There are too many of us who have preferences.

The parks who get the VPotM are selected by individuals with differing tastes, and as such the top selection will never meet everyones criterion 100%. I am of the opinion that if someone does not like your work, it is usually because you have moved them in some way - outside their comfort zone. That is an accomplishment in and of itself.

For all who are considering entering a park for future VPs... remember, there are folks here who will not like your work. And that is as it should be.

Good work RCTI, and good feedback everyone...

Yes Sambo...we will announce the 2 runnersup on Weds, 8/27...

So everyone knows...this particular month was a very close finish. Any of the top three parks could have won...mere decimal points separated the 3 parks. So, if you didn't like OZ, you may like one or both of the runners-up.

So stay tuned for those!

EDIT: Oh yeah...I almost forgot...I found this in my paper today...and tore it out...
