Post Thriller Park ! (CHECK IT OUT!)

Hey,
This is sort of my first park , it's called - Thriller Park.
I've been playing around with RCT for a long time but this is the first real park.
It has 12 coasters and some thrill and gentle rides, as well as shops , etc...
I beleive you will need the Drexler patch (I made this park with that patch installed).
It's not 100% complete (still need to name the shops and coasters).
So just check it out and tell me what do you think..
Thanks.

You did a good job with the coasters and incorporating them in their themes. It did seem a little crowded, but it is called Thriller park... Seeing as it is only single pathed, after you name the rides, you should open it.

Yeah... well i do have a saved game with the park opened (with 3500 ppl in it) but still havent named the rides , coz i don't feel like it and i don't have any original names that i can think of.
I might add a few more paths so that it won't be TOO crowded (even though it wasn't too crowded with 3500 ppl - and no one claimed that they couldnt find the exit or something like that..).
Well... that's all
Thanks for the reply !

I'll be waiting for more feedback.

I must say that this is VERY good for a first park. There was great landscaping, good theming, the coasters were very cool, and the park had a pretty nice feel.

One big problem though is the park name. It is pretty plain and uncreative IMO. And the snow section right next to grass doesent really fit in very good (although the coaster in that section was cool)

I have one suggestion for your future parks- make your next park a consistant theme and it will be easier to name your rides (having a park that is just one theme)

Park rating- 7/10 Good Job!

Good for a first park. The coasters were a bit too dominating, and there are too many themes, but other than that very good.

Coasters-7/10
theming-5/10

Overall-6/10

Thanks for the feedback...
About the park's name ... i think this is just one minor thing - i put all my effort on the coasters and theming . Giving the park and coasters names is not something that should really matter , in my opinion.
Oh , and i think that giving almost each coaster a special theming makes the park a LOT more interesting .. for example: my coasters are set in a : forest, egypt, snow, mine, jungle... etc..
That's what is cool about it.
After looking at other parks , i hoenstly think that i did a good job.
None of the coasters went too fast or too slow.
one last thing ... about the park's name, it really doesn't fit the park itself so i'll probably change it..

I think theming each coaster differently makes parks look really ugly. I mean, having snow next to jungle? COME ON! It is okay to have different theme sections, as long as they have something to do with each other.
example- Busch Gardens Williamsburgh has different sections themed to different countries (like Germany and Italy) but all of the sections have one major thing in common: they are all located in europe.

Anyway, do your parks how you want, thats just my opinion.

The park was good. It was a nice park to look at but be creative with the names of the rides.
6.5 - 10

I actually liked this park a lot. Very well landscaped, very good coasters, and for some odd reason...I loved the crowded look. The only real problem was, as Butterfinger said, was that snow section. I mean that rollercoaster was great, just like the others, but having snow right next to grass doesn't work out well. Anyway, very, very nice park.

Morgan's rating: 7/10 (just a tad bit above average)

Thanx for the feedback , again..
This is my first park , like i said before , so i just wanted to do some cool stuff.
I'll try something different in the next park.

I wish there was another RCT addon , with more elements , like Zero-G Roll and more stuff... and maybe some more coasters , like A.I.R or something...
