| | | Pine Ridge!!!!! Looks like everyone is going to get to see Pine Ridge early
Here it is! On a dense treed mountain ridge lies Pine Ridge Theme Park. Back in the 1800's, and expedition was led out down the Missouri river to settle a town. The explorers traveled for days, but all they found were steep moutain clifts which they could certainly not build a town opon. Well, up the river some, the rapids got very feirce. Their tiny boat was thrown all about until it smashed into a side of a clift and sunk. The explorers were washed down stream and thrown all about. 3 lucky explorers were able to get hold of a log floating down stream and clung on to it for their lives. They climed up on top of the log and tied themselves to a branch so that they could not be thrown off, but soon after that, they fainted from exastion. When they had woken again, they found themselves flloating down a peaceful stream with beautiful mountain ridges and forests above. The explorers swam ashore and found that gold and jewlels were spread all over the shore. The explorers had struck a gold mine! They went back down the river to get supplies and people and came back to settle. From them on, the Pine Ridge Mine was the most prosperous town in the nation. Towns sprouted up all around and miners made millions of dollars from gold and jewels. But not long after that, something very mysterious happened. When a ferry taking people wishing to live in the Pine Ridge Mine Town arrived one day, everyone was mysteriously gone. Not a preson walked along the streets in the fishing villiage, not a soul seemed to be anywhere. The people arriving from the ferry never came back either. The nation stared in shock as whenever someone went to Pine Ridge to see what happened to everyone, they never returned. People became frightened and from that time on, no one ever dared to go near Pine Ridge.
Now in modern times, we think that that mysterious story passed on was just a hoax, but one day, when an airplane was flying over the area, the co-pilot spotted an old looking mine town below. A hellicopter was sent to check it out, and sure enough, it was the Pine Ridge Mine town- perfectly intact and exactly the same as it was 120 years ago. Soon, the abandoned mine town became a worldwide known tourist attraction. Finnally, in 1978, the town was turned into a theme park. Now, Pine Ridge Theme Park holds many world class coasters and Millions flock there yearly.
Finnally, you may now discover the secrets held within Pine Ridge Theme Park. Enjoy!

| | | well butterfinger this is your best work, and that is saying alot. this park is amazing, awe inspiringly awesome, but i have to say a bit overthemed and overdone, which is not bad its just the park is a little bit too busy. but i loved the shopping mini map, great job there!!! now onto this wonderful review.. Overall Look:this is very very key. this park had a spectacular atmoshpere and a great feel. i love it.
i give it a: 9.6/10 Coasters: hmmm they're good but really nothing spectacular, wolverine i didnt like too much cause of pacing, brush flier was nice, so was thunderstone, water moccasin was again a good coaster. gold quest was nothing amazing either. but you have a good collection, next time maybe something more unique, especially from a parkmaker like you, trust me nothing bad, by many other standards this is top notch, i liked the coasters in Monte Vista and Sandcastle shores better.
I give it a: 8.6/10 (just cause ive seen you do better) Theming: hmmmm its wonderful dont get me wrong but seriously overthemed. i think it looks great from zoomed out, but when you zoom in i seriously think you over did it. but still its nice, very very nice.
I give it a: 8.9/10 still great job by any standards next time, take it easy on the theming, i still believe that every space should be themed but i dont mean every quarter square lol cause thats what you did every space, shurb, statue, barrel, wood stack, well its nice but yeah you get the picture. FINAL GRADE: 9.1 GREAT PARK!!!!!

| | | Thank you for the nice reveiw, but what was wrong with Wolverines pacing? IMO that coaster had great pacing.... I dont see how you could possibly find it to be to slow.
BTW, I just thought I'd let you all know that the park I am working on now is already SOOOO much better than this one. So if you thought this one was good, WATCH OUT! The one I'm working on now should knock your socks off when its released!

| | | The themeing in your park was incedible. but it didn't seem to have that many major coasters. I'd give it an 8.9 |

| | This IS going into the next TNPP. The reason I posted it so early is because I also need to use this page as a link for the current D-Net Spotlight. Ummm, he he, it would be nice if some people dropped over there Saturday and voted for me  . I could use the votes..... there are some really good parks entered this week, plus, in the last 2 contests I lost the Spotlight by only 2 votes  .......... but really, if you actually DO go to vote, only vote for which you think is the best  |

| | Hey! I've been entered in EVERY SINGLE Priemier Parks exept for the December one, and I've NEVER gotten a review from you! Quote: |
It didnt seem to have many major coasters though
| What is everyones problem with parks that dont have many coasters? I had 4 major ones and 7 total. Why isnt that enough? Dont get me wrong, I'm not blowing you off just for giving me your opinion, I just think it is weird that you gave me a lower rating just because I didnt have a Disney World size park with 5 million coasters. |

| | | let him have his own opinion okay? if he likes lots of coasters then he can. many people do. and if he doesnt thats why he gave you a lower rating, and besides thats not a bad rating.
and about the reviewing thing, andy said that from NOW ON he will review every park in TNPP he announced that well not announced but said that he would during the April/May contest after you entered yours. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
