I might, when I have the time. And if this will happen, the park will feature clones of my older coasters except 1 or 2.

Well Alien, your park was okay, the theming was better then your last, and some of the coasters were good others, not so good, like Bat Cave. O yeah i like the witch's face, very creative and funny. You just need to have some more detail and the coasters are a little dominating, try to hide them in trees. Im not saying dont have big coasters,but there are ways to make them seem "not-so-dominating"
Theming 6/10
Coasters 6/10

Park 6/10

Thumbs up

Overall, a very nice park. Nice theming and good coasters. I especially liked TRICK-or-Treat, and none of the coasters were too domineering, which is good. My only suggestions would be to possibly tame down Bat Cave and Phantom's Fury.

Holy crap butterfinger, thats one awesome park. Theming is awesome almost perfect. Coasters were extremely good, except for CLAW, had a rather low rating. O well this is park is VERY detailed. Incredible work Butterfinger. And you shouldnt call the coaster smokin thunder excitement boost, its not a good name, it shows that you kinda cheated, i dont mind its just awkward. Everything was nice. This is better then my entry (havent entered it yet).

Theming 9.5/10 (i dont like going around giving 10's no offense)
Coasters 9/10

Grade 9.5/10 (not an average)

Butterfinger, that was one of the best RCT parks I've ever seen. The theming was superbly detailed and the rides were top notch. The hotel was just as good as the park itself. Great job!

Wow, thanks for the comments!

What exactly are you trying to say here? And what did I "cheat" about?



EDIT: Okay, now I think I know what you are talking about. Do you mean that little coaster that I syncronized with Smok'in Thunder to increase its exitment? Yes, it was kind of cheating in a way, but hey, RCT does'nt have any exitment boosting rules that I know of!

yeah it was a little cheap. Dont make it that obvious. And smoking thunder although the most impressive looking and having the highest excitement in the park, is slow and not paced well. not exactly smoking thunder spee. o well, in a park like this small errors stand out to me more. o yeah and have some music. it gives the park a better "feel". i think thats the last complaint, otherwise great park.

Btw andy, where are the Avatars for feburary contest winners?

And wait natelox, are you saying this park (westcoast)already been publicly released? then you cant enter it, according to the rules i think. i think andy said its okay if you send it to like 1 or 2 people for testing though/

I never cheat my coaster's ratings with any other coasters/rides/attractions - only paths at most.

Well... Coasters/rides/attractions "cheats" can boost a coaster's excitement rating by 0.50 at most. I've tested this on my giga flying coaster before.

Alien@SixFlags: Your park for this month's submission have a coaster with 10.24 intensity - you should fix it. Also, your suspended coaster have way too high nausea - very few guests will be riding it

well the westcoast has not been publicly released, although i have sent it to some close friends and testers.

also i didn't think that butterfingers park was that great. IMO i liked your first one you entered alot better.

Natelox, are you ever going to give anyone else a chance at winning this contest? Sheeeesh, I mean there should be a rule limiting the number of times a certain person can win


Awesome park. It is definatly one of the best that I have ever seen, but still cant compare to Altamont

Natelox, your park was superb. As good as Alamont, if not better. The theming was incredible, as were the coasters. All the trees around Guallatiri seemed a little out of place, though. It's not that big of a deal, however.

Both Westcoast and Monte Vista were very good. Westcoast had the edge, IMO. Better pacing on the coasters, and slightly better theming. Monte Vista looked a bit cluttered, and the pacing of coasters was ruined by multiple lift hills. I liked Westcoast better than Altamont, but only slightly.

Only 3 of my coasters had multiple lifts, but I do agree that some of them were not paced very well. I guess I was just going for higher exitments in this park and not really worrying about the pacing enough.



P.S.- Something that I forgot to include in the readme- This park is actually the name of the road that I live on! My road is named "Monte Vista" because I live on a lake with lots of mountains surrounding it, so thats where I got the name from.

My park is coming soon, not sure if i can match up with either of these parks. hey beat, good to see some talented rct players coming, ur parks are pretty good, i liked coldwater canyon, dont know what other parks you've made. im gonna need ALOT of luck to win this one.

Westcoaste was awesome, just wow. this is probably the 3rd or 4th best park ive ever seen. Everything was perfect (not quite i dont believe in a perfect park). Uh lets see coasters were amazing, theming, unbelieveably awesome. O yeah, on the hotel roof you spelled Sattelite wrong fix that, haha thats a flaw.

coasters 9.9/10
theming 9.8/10

park: 9.9/10 great park natelox.

p.s. how about next time let one us less talented people win okay?
its okay really, im shooting for a THIRD mouse pad.

I got a "Sneek Peak" on TxCoasterguy's new park and it is awsome. There is gonna be allot of competition this time.

I'm throwing my park in the ring, too. I'm fairly sure you all know which one. I know I'm gonna be smoked by Natelox, Butterfinger, and TX Coaster Guy 1, but I'm going for 4th. Everyone, vote for me.

I just took a look at your park RCT Loser, and heres the reveiw......


COASTERS- Fairly nice work on your coasters in this park. I especially liked Babtism of Blood. Even though it looked kind-of ugly and dominating, It still had great pacing and a nice layout. The triple duelers were pretty cool also. For your coasters I give you a 8/10

THEMING- Okay, although you had a unique and creative theme (which is always good) I cant say much about your theme work. I think you could of used alot more detail on your castles, and of course try to use some flat rides (I didnt see ANY of those in your park) 6.5/10

LANDSCAPING- When you posted pics of this park in the thread, I noticed that there was only one type of tree, but now there is more of a wide variety, good job on that! The tree selection looks very good, and there was'nt very much flat land which is very good. 7/10

OVERALL LOOK- From above this park looks kind-of barren and boring. Parks like this really need double paths, and of course some buildings! 5.5/10



FINAL RATING- 6.5/10 Not the most amazing parks I have ever seen, but still well above average!

My review of Transylvannia Island.

Coasters: Your coasters were very well done. They stood out, but they didn't dominate the park, which is good. They had good names, although I didn't like the side supports on Baptism Of Blood. Overall coaster rating: 8.0

Theming: You used a very good blend of trees. They gave a good, creepy look, and the grave markers scattered around look very nice as well. Smooth Seas could have used some scenery, though, and the area in front of the castle looked too empty. Overall theming rating: 7.5

Other Rides: You had a nice blend of other rides in this park. They fitted in very well with the rest of the park. However, the park seemed too devoid of water rides. The only one I saw that could be opened was Smooth Seas. Overall other rides rating: 7.0


Additional Comments: Overall, a good park. You could have added a few things in front of the castle, or around Baptism Of Blood, those parts looked too plain.

Total Park Rating: 7.2.

Butterfingers park is the best so far I think. I should have a park entered in this contest. Natelox you you took my idea for a launched Xcelorator type ride, nooooo mine has higher ratings though and it's still got some themeing to do Good luck everyone.
