WOW! Excellent park, man.... great ideas... definitely one of the best, if not the best, RCT park I've seen. Keep up the good work!

Review of Snow Drop

COASTERS.
The coasters in this park could probably be described with one word. Innovative. Some of the coasters weren't like any other coaster I've seen before, such as Spellbinder (a twist on Legoland's Spellbreaker, perhaps?) Spanish Inquisition, and The Matterhorn. The coaster stations were okay, and as for the theming, the theming of the coasters themselves was pretty good. I did find the custom supports on Dragon and Mountain Ranger to be too blocky. My favorite coaster was Merlin, I really like those types of coasters.
Overall coaster rating: 8.7

SCENERY.
The coasters in Snow Drop were best described as "innovative". The scenery in Snow Drop can best be defined as "cluttered". There was simply too much. I will say that each individual part of the park had very nice theming, as there was a great selection of trees, flowers, fountains/waterfalls, statues, bushes, terrain types, and landscaping for the appropriate theme. However, overall, the scenery just didn't work. With so many different trees and architecture styles, all just seemingly thrown together, the park appeared unorganized, scattered, and messy. I had seen the pics of the park on New Element, and based on them and the name, I was expecting mostly a snow park, primarily with snow trees and other snow theming. However, the primary terrain appeared to be dirt. The theming was somewhat better on the Eureka Falls map, but park wise, the theming was a disappointment and a turn off.
Overall scenery rating: 7.9

OTHER RIDES.
One good thing about the other rides in Snow Drop. There was a very large and varied selection of them. However, I think that there were too many hacks in the park. I don't mind hacks in a park, although I don't use them myself, but I would have preferred a few less hacks in Snow Drop. Yes, there were some very creative, fresh, and new ideas, some of which I liked, including Interstate 89, The Zip Line, and Island Tram Line. Rocky Mountain Rafting, although not a new concept, wasn't bad either. At least the other rides were nicely integrated into the park and didn’t stand out too much.
Overall other rides rating: 8.3

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS.
Innovative, too heavily hacked, and too cluttered pretty much sums of this park. Certain aspects of the rides and theming I liked a lot, but overall, I wasn't too happy with the way this park turned out. I really don’t see why this park was chosen as a Spotlight, as I thought that Land of the Villians was much better. Just my opinion.

Overall park rating: 8.5
