My review of Camelot-


COASTERS- This is perhaps the best work of coasters I've ever seen from you RCT Loser. Gwenyvere was an awesome woodie with great pacing. Excaliber had an amazing layout, good ex. rating, and great landscaping.... This was probably my favirate of your coasters. King Arthur was a great hyper with truely awesome pacing and really great ratings. Lancelot was a pretty good coaster, but it really should had less turns and more inversions, IMO. The coasters here were great, my only complaint is that some needed a little more themeing. 8/10

THEMEING- A good job on themeing, but I have a few complaints. I think you should have used a larger variety of sidings for buildings (like using the brown castle sides instead of the grey ones all the time). It also would have been nice if you constructed wood cabins and houses that the medievel villiagers would have lived in. 6/10

LANDSCAPING- Landscaping here wasnt bad at all, but could have been better. For instance, it might look better if you used a more contrast in trees. IMO, you used WAY to many Scotts Pine trees. There should have been more hills, but thats not realy a big deal. The landscaping around Excaliber was awesome. 7/10

OVERALL VIEW- Not bad. Like I said above, there should have been a bigger variety in buildings, and there could have been alot more contrast in trees, but other than that I thought it was fine. None of the coasters were dominating, and it looked pretty good overall, so I give you an 7.5/10

OVERALL RATING- 7/10. Pretty good job!

ehhh. 8.5? Not in my eyes. Probably 5. I think you could have made the buildings look nicer, and used different trees. anyways, thats just my 2cents

Coasters.
The coasters themselves were pretty good. They all had very good ratings, and the color scheme was alright. The station platforms for the coasters weren't bad either, and I liked the support style on King Authur, although they might have stood out a little too much. My favorite was Excalibur, one of the best 4-D coasters I've seen.
Overall coaster rating: 8.1

Scenery.
This was where this park faltered a bit. I liked the use of terrain, trees, and shrubs around Excalibur, which I think was the best themed part of the park. The rest of the park, though, just looked too plain. Other then some tropical trees around Excalibur's station, the tree selection looked pretty dull, in my opinion, as did the castles and other buildings.
Overall scenery rating: 6.3

Other rides.
The other rides in this park were alright. There was a decent selection of them, and their ratings were okay. Holy Grail had a pretty good rating for a log flume, although I think it would have been a lot better if it had better theming. The names were satisfactory as well.
Overall other rides rating: 7.6

Miscellaneous Comments.
Camelot definitely had the potential to be a really good park. The rides in the park were, for the most part, pretty good, but the park's lack of theming and overall dull appearance drove it downward.

Overall rating: 6.8

My review of Tropico:

COASTERS- Ive got 2 words for the coasters here: NEED SPEED! I thought that they were all pretty slow at the crests of hills and on turns. I think the coaster that had the worst problem with this is Bahama Breeze. Other than that they looked great! All had awesome themeing and were very realistic. Overall I give you a 7/10

THEMING- This is where this park really flies. I thought the themeing was awesome. The buildings were REALLY cool. Sure.... It wasnt like they were awesomly detailed and served as amazing mesmerizing eye candy, but they just looked so realistic. I also liked all your themed sections. My favirate was probably Pirates Cove because of its good landscaping. I really liked the themeing here because not many people have done buildings or path style quite like this before. It just seemed like something different and I liked it for that. So finnally done with all my blabbing I give you a 9/10

LANDSCAPING- The landscaping here seemed exactly like the landscaping you would find at a beach. Flat land, not many trees, sand, and all the other things at a tropical beach. My only wish is that maybe you could have used more rocks in certain places of the park like the rocks in Pirates Cove. 8/10

OVERALL LOOK- This is probably one of the best overall views I've ever seen. Nothing was dominating or stuck out badly and all fitted in well. From above it seemed like a perfect summer getaway. 9/10

OVERALL RATING- 8.5/10 Great park man! The one thing you could work on is the pacing on coasters, but other than that I love it.

Tropico is your first park, right? Well, I thought it was great for a first park, but there were some things you needed to improve. As Butterfinger said, you really need to work on pacing your coasters. One of my RCT pet peeves is coasters that crawl through inversions.
I liked the theming of the park. It did have a nice tropical feel to it, and looked kind of like a boardwalk. However, cover the shops and stalls with paths. It will make your park look better, because nobody likes to see a giant french fry sticking up out of the building. Overall, very nice single-path park. You have a lot of potential, and should make some more parks. I give it a 7/10.

Hey! I like giant french fries. I would like to cover my buildings, but that requires them to be tall and I dont like that dominating look.

Its really my second park (but first for PP). My first wasn't very good at all.

I'll will keep that in mind about the coasters. I really thought Bahama Breeze was one of the better ones with pacing. O well.

Terreno Magio

Coasters.
The coasters in this park weren't too bad. You had a decent selection, and the ratings were pretty good. The color scheme was nice, and the coasters didn't stand out too much. Snow Plow was a very nicely designed B&M Speed Coaster, and I really liked Big Foot Chase. Roller Coaster 3 (the powered launched water coaster) was a rather innovative idea, and Trojan Horse was a very well done Steel Corkscrew. Skull Mountain also made good use of the terrain, and it was interesting how you used single trains on Swinging Safari.
Overall coaster rating: 7.6

Scenery.
The scenery here was okay. The tree selection was good, if not a bit sparse in places. The castle wasn't that bad either, and the buildings were nice. The entrance to the park was nicely themed, with the Coliseums, shrubs, trees, flowers, and the river. The theming around Snow Plow was alright as well. The flowers could have used a good watering, though
Overall scenery rating: 6.3

Other rides.
The park's selection of other rides left something to be desired. When it came to gentle and thrill rides, the assortment was alright, but only two of the rides, Soul Keeper and Midway Tours were named. As for water rides, functional ones were non-existent. It always helps to have a good variety of rides in your park
Overall other rides rating: 5.5

Miscellaneous Comments.
The park wasn't too bad; maybe a little more scenery and greater variety of other rides would have helped. The paths were okay, although all the queue lines around the midway looked a little ugly.

Overall park rating: 6.4


Tropico

Coasters.
The coasters in Tropico were really good. They were all incorporated very nicely into the overall scheme of the park, and didn't stand out too much. Albatross was a very nice floorless, although it ran a bit slow in places, presumably due to the smaller then average trains. Mission Dinosaur was a good Steel Corkscrew coaster that made use of boosters rather well, and I noticed, had one car trains. Bahama Breeze was a good ride, however, it also ran a little slow. Sand Blaster provided a nice backdrop for the carnival, and Funhouse was a nicely done, innovative Virginia Reel.
Overall coaster rating: 8.2

Scenery.
This park had some great scenery. Tropical style trees were used to great effect, and they looked great as well. The buildings were awesome, especially in the Waterfront District section. Also, the buildings in the Carnival section were very colorful, just as they should be. Pirate's Cove had some excellent theming as well. The trees in the Jungle area were okay, although the trees looked bare in places.
Overall scenery rating: 8.0

Other rides.
Like the coasters, there was a very nice selection of other rides as well. You had a good blend of them, from flying saucers to go carts to S&S Drop Towers. Maybe a few more water rides, though, I only counted two. One of those though, Blackbeard's Revenge, was a relatively simple, but very good River Ride. It was integrated seamlessly into the surrounding terrain, without the thick and ugly wooden supports you see on a lot of River Rides.
Overall other rides rating: 8.1

Miscellaneous Comments
All said and done, this park was very well done. The layout was very nice, the buildings and scenery were great, and the rides were very good as well. This is one of the nicest parks I've seen that use sand as their base terrain.

Overall park rating: 8.2

Since I have a Bencer Land review all ready, I'll just add that on to this post.

Bencer Lands Review

Coasters.
The coasters in this park were a blend of good and bad. Some of them were pretty good, like Death of Louis the XIV and Headless Horseman Fright Flight, and Escape from the T-Rex, Jurassic Adventure, and Snowman Bob's Wild Ride had some of the highest ratings for their respective types I've ever seen. The concept behind Wild Limo Coaster was pretty creative, too. However, in other instances, your coasters suffered from poor design. I counted 10 coasters who's intensity rating was either Extreme or Ultra-Extreme. These ten rides had too many G-forces, either in the lateral or vertical direction, or both. If you want them to be better, modify them to reduce the G forces, and there's a lot of people you can ask if you need help with that. As for the three Thunder Quints with Ultra-Extreme ratings, I would suggest demolishing them altogether.
Overall coaster rating: 5.1

Scenery.
Like the coasters, some scenery was good, and others were pretty bad. For example, in the Western themed section, I thought that your tree selection was really good, and the ice themed section was nice as well. The multi-colored, futuristic, urban-ish section looked interesting, to say the least, and the space section was okay as well. In other instances, though, the scenery looked pretty bad. In the haunted and jungle themed sections, you predominately used just one type of tree, giving those sections a dull look to them. Clumps of the same tree look really boring. Use a greater variety of trees next time. Also, the river looked very unnatural.
Overall scenery rating: 5.4

Other rides.
The other rides were okay. They weren't necessarily bad, but they weren't that great either. Escape from Jurassic Park had a pretty good rating, and Timber Log had decent theming to it. The other rides were moderately well incorporated into the overall scheme of the park.
Overall other rides rating: 5.8

Miscellaneous comments.
Bencer Lands had the makings of a good park. However, some of the scenery and coasters needed a lot of improvement. Maybe you could fix the problems, and then release a new version of the park.

Overall park rating: 5.3

Tropico Review

Coasters-3.5/10-I know that sounds harsh, but I really disliked these coasters. For the most part, they were all the same-Really slow untill a decent finale. Untill then, they were more boring than can be imagined. And they were dominating. Funhouse was a cool concept, but too short.

Scenery/Landscaping/Theming-7.5/10-pretty good here. some of the buildings were a little plain, trees were a little sparse, not bad.

overall-5.5-great potential, brought down by emptiness&slow coasters.

Thunder Canyon may not be able to release into the june tnpp, but if not theres always july.

TXCoasterGuy1's Review of:

Jhcbiinoc's:Worlds of Motion

Overall Look:Wow what a pleasant suprise!!!This park, when i first opened it suprised me i didnt expect too much but it actually looks really nice UNTIL i scrolled around and found the checkerboard area with Nitro/redracer/blueracer. man this ruined the whole park!!!it was sooo nice until i found this area, well it wasnt THAT bad but still it messed with the atmosphere that would be sooo much better w/o it.

i give it a:
7.1/10

CoastersMan you had some great coasters here! they were all good! but the engine coasters and them and us were a bit slow in some places. Nitro (both) were great coasters that were ruined by that checkerboard area

i give it a :
7.3/10

theming/architecture/landscaping: you had some very good buildings and nice theming treeing and great gardens, though nothing spectacular everything here in this category was pleasing.

i give it a:
7/10


final grade:
7.1/10

My review of Worlds In Motion:


COASTERS- Not bad. There was nothing really spectacular but all of them were okay. I thought US and THEM was a creative concept. My least favirate coaster was definetly the Nitro Racers- they were okay coasters, but the checkerboard land looked SOOO ugly! 6/10

THEMEING- Here is were this park really suprised me. I thought the themeing was pretty well done! I really liked the buildings- they were simple, but looked good. I also really liked the overall theme of the park. It was very creative... I bet not many people would of thought of themeing a park on transportation! my one complaint is the naming of the coasters in concept with their theme... I just was expecting the names to be more serious and to the point. 7.5/10

LANDSCAPING- The landscaping here was also fairly well done. I like the gardens near the paths, they gave a better feel to the park. It was also nice that you included hills... some people just get lazy and leave the entire park flat. Even despite the fact that the landscaping here was above average, there is one obious thing that will bring it down, and that is the checkerboard land near the Nitro Racers. I just thought that little piece of land right there was so unbelievably ugly. Maybe you could edit that out of the park because it really is big problem. 6.5/10

OVERALL VIEW- A nice overall view, exept of course the checkerboard land which I have all ready went on about enough . 7/10

OVERALL RATING- 7/10. This was a nice park!

Coasters.
Overall, this park had a pretty good selection. The coasters didn't stand out too much, although some of the paint schemes were a little ugly. US and THEM, the two Nitro Racers, and Engine 99/101 were very nice coasters, but if they were synchronized, they'd be even better. I thought that the best coaster was Mine Shaft; it was an excellent vertical coaster.
Overall coaster rating: 7.9

Scenery.
My favorite tree blend was the one around Iron Horse Junction, although most of the other tree selections looked pretty good as well. The gardens in the park weren't bad either, as were the buildings (I liked Iron Horse's stations especially). The US vs. THEM floral bed was a nice touch, but the area around Nitro Racers looked a little too empty.
Overall scenery rating: 7.8

Other rides.
Worlds of Motion had a very good selection of other rides, and many of them were very interesting, like Henry's Folly and the Piston S&S drop towers. Thunder Canyon Expedition was a pretty nice River Rapids, and many of the other rides had very interesting names.
Overall other rides rating: 7.7

Miscellaneous Comments.
The idea for this park was a very creative one, and that idea was turned into a very nice park. Good blend of rides and scenery as well.

Overall park rating: 7.9
