Hummm... which shall I pick?

Anyway, if I had to pick another one it would be Pine Ridge. I really liked that "extra" area with the downtown.

Hmmm... Yet another vote for Butterfinger! I also thought Camelot was well done and Tropico and Worlds in Motion were very creative, but Pine Ridge, in my opinion, had rides and scenery of outstanding quality. And it looks like I'm not alone in that opinion.. Nice job Butterfinger.

Andy Hodgson's Park Review #3

Pine Ridge--By Butterfinger

First Glance--This first glance reminded me alot of Natelox's Northside park. Very good looking park at first and I was immediately drawn to the wooden coaster. 8.5/10


Entrance--Very hard to see at first. It's not the traditional big building whatsoever, but instead several or many smaller buildings, almost like a village. I'd recommend not using bushes on the roofs, it doesn't look right.8.5/10


Coasters--
Brush Flier-I'm not a big flyer fan in RCT. This was nice however. It had a good station too. 8.5/10

Wispering Willow-Nice additon, and great color scheme. The pacing was good for a shuttle looper. 8/10

Wolverine-Good coaster. Very traditional first half, not impressive. Then it barrel rolls into a launch strip, oh so cool. Nice small diving lop and a Natelox like ending. Great station too! 9.5/10

Thunderstone-Very sweet CCI. Hits CCI style perfectly. I loved the turnaround 3rd drop and the cool turn over the pathing, like High Noon. Good train colors.9.5/10

Water Moccasin-Good Arrow. I loved the cobra roll and double corker. An ok station with good color scheme. 9/10

Gold Quest-Cool ride. I'm not a big mine train ride fan in RCT, but it had a good station and a sweet beginning. 8/10

Coasters--9/10


Themeing--Very nice. Much better than Sandcastle Shores. Great use of the land, and nice buildings. 8.5/10


Overall
9/10

Best Coaster Award--Wolverine
Best Other Ride--The Great Redwood River
Best Station--Brush Flier
Best Color Scheme--Brush Flier

Good Luck in the future on your other projects.

Andy Hodgson's Park Review #4

Tropico--By Rider

First Glance--Very plain. Looks almost like a beginner park that is decent but very open in areas. 5/10


Entrance--Very good. One of the best single pathed entrances around. It had a nice Disney like main street feeling to it. 8.5/10


Coasters--
Bahama Breeze-Very cool ride. Good Beema hyper, and an even better color scheme then when I first tested this park. It could have used some custom supports maybe and some work on the plain station, but that's it. 8/10

Rat Attack-Good wild mouse. Hits #4 on my all-time favorite wild mice rides. Great job, 'bout all I can say. 9/10

Sandblaster-I love RCT woodies, can't say it enough. This is no exception. Good beach theme and color scheme. No station, I was disappointed without that. 8.5/10

El Poco Sandblaster-Good kiddie ride, nice lift hill. 7/10

Albatross-Excellent coaster and a station worth talking about. I loved this area of the park too. Great double corker and the layout was superb. 9.5/10

Mission: Dinosaur-An ok ride. Only thing saving this from a bad rating is the readme that came with your park. Cool idea.8/10

Coasters--8.5/10


Themeing--Simple single path park, but I loved it! Waterfront District was by far the best part of the park, and the park itself had great architecture. 9/10


Overall
8/10

Best Coaster Award--Albatross
Best Other Ride--Airdrop
Best Station--Albatross
Best Color Scheme--Rat Attack

Good Luck in the future on your other projects.

Andy Hodgson's Park Review #5

Camelot--By RCT Loser

First Glance--Nice. The coasters looked really sweet from my first glance. Not many buildings, and a simple system of large wide paths. 8/10


Entrance--Not too impressive. I know you can do better. Very large, plain and square. It does fit into the medieval theme though. 6/10


Coasters--
Merlin-Awesome ride, near perfect layout. Poor color scheme though, and an ok station. 8.5/10

Excalibur-Awesome ride as well. I like the terrain around it and the bobbing and weaving in and out of it. Another ok station 9/10

Lancelot-A good ride. Traditional first half, but a twisted ending. Matching color scheme to the name, and also a similar station to Excalibur. 8.5/10

King Authur-A decent ride. Overdone supports, and very long and very large. The actual layout and pacing were great though. The name is misspelled, small error. 7.5/10

Gwenyvere-Very good wooden coaster. Great terrain layout, and yet another ok station. 8/10

Coasters--8/10


Themeing--Not that good. Looks like you got lazy and used the SGM trainer to place the trees. Thankfully I have seen that you can do better, much much better. Work on the architecture and landscaping too. The use of land is a big key. 6.5/10


Overall
7/10

Best Coaster Award--Excalibur
Best Other Ride--Guest Jousting Field
Best Station--Merlin
Best Color Scheme--King Authur

Good Luck in the future on your other projects.

Andy Hodgson's Park Review #6

Terreno Magio--By Alien@SixFlags

First Glance--Very bare, bad transitions in themes, and not much detail in the way of themeing and landscaping. 6.5/10


Entrance--Not good. It was very square, and the roof was grass. 4/10


Coasters--
3 Blind Mice-Very good! Only thing holding it back was the lack of station housing. 8.5/10

Snow Plow-Not that good. It did resemble the actions of a snow plow, but much too large and long. 6/10

Big Foot Chase-Very well done! Excellent ride. I love the non-traditional layout and using stand-up trains. Very nice! It would get a 10 from me but there wasn't a station housing. 9/10

Fairy Tale-Not bad. Good small elements, but the first loop wasn't that impressive. Alteast this coaster had a station housing which was actually decent too. 8.5/10

Stone Mountain-Good ride. Great pacing and layout, and I like the double-dip. But, I didn't like the station area and color scheme. 7.5/10

Trojan Horse-Sweet layout. Not a good station area, but a non-traditional Arrow layout and pacing was great. 8/10

Swinging Safari-Sweet idea and great layout. I like RCT Suspendeds but using only 1 car instead of a full train wasn't that good for the ride. It left the car slow in some places. There was a good station for this though. 7.5/10

Coasters--8/10


Themeing--Not that great. I know you can do better. The coasters need no work, but put some station housing for each of them. Also work on the landscaping some more. 6.5/10


Overall
6/10

Best Coaster Award--Big Foot Chase
Best Other Ride--Soul Keeper
Best Station--Swinging Safari
Best Color Scheme--Big Foot Chase

Good Luck in the future on your other projects.

Andy Hodgson's Park Review #7

World's in Motion--By Jhcbiinoc

First Glance--Very fantasy like. It had an average look. Almost had a Kapona Valley feel in some parts. 6/10


Entrance--Not bad. It had a boardwalk 1930's feel that I like. It wasn't very detailed though, and was packed with people. 6/10


Coasters--
Nitro: Blue/Red Racer-Good dueling elements, but there was poor themeing. It was very bright and was a little bit of a strain on the eyes. 6.5/10

Barnstormer-Very cool ride. I always have admirition for someone who can build a good suspended coaster. TCG1 is very well noted in my book for this. It was a little slow on the pacing though. 8/10

Thrust-Typical reverse free fall. 6/10

Flight-Nice flyer. It had great pacing and elements. Not a very well done station though. Could have used some more work in the detail area. 6.5/10

Mine Shaft-Pretty cool ride. It had a good tight layout but the station was rather plain. Maybe adding different trains like stand-ups on it would have been better. 6.5/10

Engine 99/101-Ok rides. Good layout, but I'm not a big mine train person. They (mine trains) look ugly IMO. Not bad designs though. 6/10

THEM/US-Nice idea, and I have done it once. The two different types of coasters dueling, can actually be cool at times. But, US crawls through some inversions, and the two don't duel well. THEM was really bright and not that good of a color scheme. 7.5/10

Coasters--7/10


Themeing--Wasn't all that bad on some parts. Specifically the buildings, but the trees were repetative and were on relatively flat land. You have some potential though, I must admit. 6.5/10

Overall
6.5/10

Best Coaster Award--Barnstormer
Best Other Ride--Thunder Canyon Expedition
Best Station--Barnstormer
Best Color Scheme--Mine Shaft

Good Luck in the future on your other projects.

On a side note: World's of Bencer didn't work for me. So I wasn't able to do a review. Also, I hope you all enjoy these review I spit out. I started writing rough drafts at 10:30pm CST and now it is 1:10am CST. So, they took quite some time, and I am very tired. But, I am setting up July Submissions and Discussions tonite. For all the winners in June, expect your avatars over the weekend, as I will get them in to Steven by then. Kraken will be joining Alien@SixFlags with his avatar, as he was forgotten in his a while back and got to choose the one he wanted. That's about it. Enjoy.

Good reviews, andy. One things, though:Merlin had the exact same station as Gwenyvere/Lancelot/King Authur. How was it the best?

It actually went with the ride's look and layout much better IMO.

Ok, time to clear up a few issues. I have been gone for a while on vacation. When I came back that whole incident just happened. So, that is another cause for the delay in the reviews and avatar changes. I am giving the names to Steven to change tonite, so avatars will be up by tomorrow hopefully. As for the reviews. I will try and get the two walkthrough written and published tonite. So, I hope all of you haven't been to worried about when everything was going to get done.
