Don't think this would take an NE spotlight...

I don't know how many more people we can add to this park.. it was originally two.. then three.. then four... then five... I dunno about a sixth member, what do you guys think?

No, it's not worthy of an NE entry. I was going to write a novel length post about what's wrong with the park, and what we would have to do to make a decent entry for NE. But I'm sure it wouldn't of been well received.

But the first thing I would do is compare what we got, to what the NE parks look like. I have to be honest. It's nowhere near the level of an NE park. I'm pretty sure that if K0NG had been able to complete the attraction that he planned on creating for this park, People would wonder what a Disney or Universal Studios level attraction was doing in a po'dunk park like this.

We would have to find people who have better skills. Or knuckle down ourselves, and do a better job of things than we've done in the past. In two words, we gotta "get serious". We've been fartin' around for too long now.

We need a bench that reflects the vision of the theming. This is difficult to do when nobody wants to pack a bench, let alone select decent tabs. I think of it like going shopping for the right tools. To me, the assembly of a bench is exciting.

We have to have better ideas of what we want to put in the park. Not just regurgitate the stuff we've seen in other parks. We have to see what's the best of what's out there and figure out how to plus it. Make it better. What Would Walt Do?

We need to focus on our structures. And break away totally from the "blocky". We need to become familliar with other tracked rides besides just the coasters. Taking all this under consideration, Roswell doesn't come close to what an NE accolade would be. I feel that it's name is really behind why it does not reach that level of expectations. A "fair" suggest something that is not a permanant park. It's nondiscript. You could put anything in the park. And that's exactly what happened.

In my opinion, we would have to start over completely. Get serious and take another stab at this thing with both eyes open.

Just gonna chime in on the bench here. The H2H5 starter bench is excellent and quite versatile. That's why it and Geewhzz's older bench are used by so many people. The thing about benches is making them as versatile as possible for as wide a spectrum of styles as possible (especially when you have multiple builders) instead of trying to include a bunch of pre-made objects that fit specific themes. If anyone TRULY wants to "step up their game"....the best way to start is to figure out how to get results using more 'generic' objects to create the theming that you want and not rely on specific objects that do the work for you.

And, as far as my HD crash....it didn't make me RCTarded...like I can't build any more, I just lost all of my saved games and stuff. So, I don't know why it would have any bearing on me building in this park. That being said.....I AM tied up for now with "Project K", the "ODH" remake with Robbie92 and the Winter Showdown @ RCPro. Plus, I'll be working with Sambo on getting some new contests here at Space as well as revamping the current ones to get more activity for next year as well.....so, I wouldn't be able to build on RCYRF for a while anyway.

Yeah, Wolfie pretty much put things into perspective. I suppose we could try VP? It's been so long since there's been one, and lets not forget the Space!

And K0NG (Glad to see you got your name back), that's cool, Wolfie gets it, then.

Any news?

[Luketh]

Just about to post the same thing...

Whoever has the park now better post something or we'll pass it on to someone who's active enough to actually build in the park...

[mushroomer]

I'm pretty active...

[K0NG]

I'm pretty active...

Well.....who has the park? And, have they done anything with it since they received it? If not...I'd suggest SOMEBODY taking it from the last posted save and having a blast with it. Just let us all know who has it now and.....get something done so it can be passed on to someone else. I have a bit of time myself after shroomy has his way with it....although I think LLOYD wants a turn too. Communication is key here guys.

[ldw]

Oh no!!!!! I've had my share in the park. And noob had it last. C'mon noob, reply! Anyway, I do have a backup file if the person who wants it next wants to tackle the park.

[Luketh]

We'll give Noob 'till say... Thursday, if he doesn't post to update us on what he's done, we'll go back to the last save and Shroomer can get it.
