The Edge ?????? The one with the guardian
Hey there the edge, you did a very good job here. I bet you??????ve spent quite a lot of time on all this. Maybe you expected a higher score but your theming wasn??????t of a new level. Well let??????s talk trough all the points of attention. Starting capital, do??????h 50 points. Park layout was pretty good, you had some big main footpaths but you also had a few confusing places, like the kinda kiddie themed section of the park. Also the park lacks cash machines and first aid rooms. I??????ve waited for some guests to come in and they were asking those.
There was quite a lot of theming, but the theming quality wasn??????t that great. The weird thing is that you??????ve built a lot of theming on the water, which is pretty strange imo. Also there were holes in buildings and objects like walls not placed right on top of each other.
Park theming, you just had a few places where the footpaths and shops were themed. In this case the quality isn??????t the problem but the quantity is. So far from full points on this aspect, next time pay some more attention to the points you??????re getting a lot of points for.
Ride balance wasn??????t that good. You got a big overdose of thrill. Cool for the coaster fan but not cool for the families. You did have a few rides for the kids but far from enough. So throw some more gentle rides in next time.
Ride lay-outs were good, they all had good excitement ratings and looked good. Maybe it would??????ve been cool if you tried to combine the rides with the terrain a bit more, place trees close to them for example.
Mainstreet entrance was pretty cool. It would probably be an impressive sight in real life. Not perfect though, could have been a bit bigger [:)]
Snowman bonus, you got it!
So that gives you your score. Next time read the rules, because I had to give you a 50 point penalty for the use of a trainer. With some more time and a bit more creativity you can really make stunning parks.
Cjd ?????? the one with the 3539m long coaster
Nice park you made here cjd. You really had some super thrillers on this one. You stuffed this park with some great rollercoasters which is cool for the thrillseekers. But for the families there wasn??????t much to do. That also explains your low ride balance score. Anyway, let??????s talk trough the other points of attention.
The park layout was pretty good; the paths were laid out pretty clear although sometimes a bit weird. For example in the Chinese themed area, people would have to walk all the way trough those gardens, while you could have prevented this with just 2 pieces of path. The shops were ok; the park could??????ve used some more. Also there was a lack of first aid rooms.
One of the most important aspects was ride theming. This aspect was ok, but you should have focused on theming. In this challenge theming was a very important factor, which you almost denied. If building coasters with an excitement of over 10 was the challenge you would??????ve won. Anyway back to the theming. The rides simply lack theming, you should stuff your park with theming, cover (almost) every square with trees or theming.
Park theming was really bad; there simply wasn??????t much of it. The bad thing is that you didn??????t separate the theme zones clearly. You did have a few cool things like the volcano with the black lava traces on the mountain. You also removed some theming on the main square which already was pre-built and not to be destroyed.
Ride lay-outs were really cool, almost the max. Amount of points for this. Why you didn??????t got the max score? Because some of your rides were pretty unrealistic, and you also made a few very fast, the wild mouse for example, which had a boring lay out. But in general very very good.
The mainstreet entrance was really impressive, could have used some more shape differences though, it??????s kind of rectangular as it is now.
Yay, the snowman is watching over oldo towers, 50 points!
Simhome25 ?????? the one with the 34m long go carts
Hey simhome, as you??????ve probably seen from the results chart your park wasn??????t too pretty. I??????ll just talk you trough the points of attention.
The park layout, it was really bad. Your park even got the award for most confusing park layout. That says enough about the paths, you had numerous dead ends and you should have made connections between them. People would have to walk for ages to get from the one ride to the other. You need to have some main paths, with sub paths leading to the rides. Also there is a huge lack of shops and stalls. You??????ve only added like 10 of them for thousands of guests. You should have placed at least 3 times as much of them.
Ride theming was ok, it didn??????t look to pretty on most cases but it??????s ok. I think it??????s a good thing if you go viewing other people??????s parks and see how they did theming. You can check out the winner of this contest or maybe my oldo towers park. Both can be found in the exchange. You really have to work on your theming skills.
The park theming was good in quantity but bad in quality. You just smashed your park full of trees and that??????s about it. Also the park itself is really empty. Next time stuff that park with all sorts of rides and smash some theming in every place which remains empty.
The ride balance also wasn??????t good, you had quite a lot of thrillrides but only one or two gentle rides. Not really what you call a family park. Next time try to find the right variation between thrill rides, gentle rides, rollercoasters and water rides.
The mainstreet entrance didn??????t change. The contest rules told you to build a new one to replace the old. But the old one was left untouched. 125 possible points down the drain.
You did have a freefall tower; the only thing you had to do is smash a snowman on top of it. Another 50 possible points down the drain. You should have read the contest rules better, because it really cost you a lot of points. Your score may seem low, but I think you're not bad at the game, if you just spend some more time on your parks and pay some more attention to theming and landscaping I??????m sure you can make a superb park.
Shaggszgn ?????? the one with the impressive woodie
Wohooo, you??????ve definitely beat Six Flags with theming and custom rides layout. You??????re theming is not on Disney level yet, but this park was really good. Only one park left to judge, but so far this one topped the others by far. Let??????s talk trough the various points of attention.
The Park layout was really good; you had some big main paths going round the park with dub paths leading to the rides. Also a good amount of shops, maybe you could have added some more to satisfy the guests.
The ride theming was really good, it??????s clear you haven??????t only spent time on building the rides themselves. The station buildings were all very good. I really liked the one of Star Ships, which really had a creative and technical look. Next to that actually every station building looked go. The wooden coaster also looks nice with its side supports. I can imagine entering the park and when you stand on the main square you are surrounded by the big wooden coaster. Also Race Wars was themed nicely, I liked the fact that the building wasn??????t symmetrical, looks good. Also Dark Mouse was really cool, I??????ve built a huge darkride myself once and I remember that roof was a pain in the ass. Probably also because it was flat. Anyway the building is cool but it could??????ve used some more creativity.
The park theming also was pretty good; you really filled up the park with trees and flowers along the paths. Themed queue lines, overall another good aspect of your park. Another 200 points.
Ride balance also was pretty good; the park could??????ve used maybe one more waterride and maybe a few more gentle rides. But still, well done.
The mainstreet entrance was a bad aspect of this park, really uncreative and also not impressive to see. However the big woodie compensates this loss. [:p]
Snowman bonus: you got it!
Overall a really good park, keep up the good work! Looking forward to see another park from you and maybe see ya on the next contest [pshades]
Bardy ?????? the one with the winning formula
Wow, totally amazing, you really did some great theming on this one Bardy. Ozone was totally awesome. Not only Ozone was awesome, a lot of other rides were superb too. Like I did with everyone else I??????ll talk you trough the points of attention for the judging.
First of all the park layout was good, the paths were clear with some main paths and sub paths leading to the rides. A little lack of first aid rooms and shops though.
Ride theming was totally superb. Like I said, Ozone simply was amazing, totally awesome. The entire Newland theme zone looked really good. Mech Warrior and Flight of Fantasy both also looked very nice. It??????s cool the rides really fit each other. The water rides Cliff Top and River Mount also looked very nice in the terrain. Another good looking ride was Camelot, it the castle building looked wicked maybe a bit too big though. The ride itself wasn??????t as good as the theming, I actually thought it was pretty bad, it was too slow. All theme zones looked damn good, I also liked it you gave Apache custom supports, and as it is now it blends in with the theme zone. It was a shame you didn??????t gave Genesis custom supports though, it really was a nice ride but a bit too tall to keep standing without side supports.
Park theming was really good; paths all had fences, vases, benches etc. The empty places were filled up, it just looked good. Maybe you could have paid some more attention to queue lines and building stuff over the paths themselves.
The ride balance was pretty good, maybe adding a few more gentle rides would have been a good thing. I??????m sure families will be able to entertain themselves though.
The ride layouts also were nice, some really exciting ones, a few not so exciting but in general once again very good.
The mainstreet entrance was almost perfect, I really like the arch structure you placed over it; it??????s big and impressive, just what an entrance has to be.
The snowman bonus would be given if you placed the snowman on top of the freefall?????? Anyway since you placed two on the other tower it was ok with me, but I didn??????t give you all 50 points.
Next time maybe it would also be a smart thing to check your staff and guests thoughts. If you did you would have noticed that the park is covered in puke [:p]
Superb work Bardy, looking forward to see more from you.
The Story
The year 1903
In a country far from here, where world peace still is normal, once was a well running theme park. The park was owned by the Park family, this theme park was named ??????Oldo Towers??????. The park managed to get its own special atmosphere by being the best themed park in the country. Not only the rides were themed like no park themed them before but also the rest of the park was paid attention to by the park??????s management. Unfortunately for the park this theming meant gigantic investments which the park got punished for in the end in the form of bankruptcy.
The year 2003
Now amply 100 years after the bankruptcy, the family still owns the park??????s land plot. The family, guided by sir T. Park, now wants to bring the defunct park to life once again. In the previous 100 years they saved up so much money, that the budget became practically unlimited. The land plot has been suitably neglected in the past 100 years but thanks to the Gardeners Company the grass has been mowed and the weed has been removed meanwhile. Also the entrance and the Main Street already are partially restored to their original state, thanks to a carpenters company. The town in which Oldo Towers is located gave multiple permits which allowed the gardeners to remove the trees from a considerably big part of the land plot.
Problem?
But now a problem has arisen, the old park maps from the family library were damaged past recovery after hundred years. Considering that our friend Mr. Stengel seems to be busy with a new coaster at Hershey Park. Now Teem Park came to you representing the family, the challenge is up to you. Will you accept or decline the offer to finish the Oldo Towers theme park?
The Challenge
- First of all he wants that the Main Street entrance gets a new look, despite the denuding Teem Park thinks it is still missing something. It is up to you to bring that X-factor in there the entrance is worthy.
- Because the entire country is damn enthusiastic about the re-opening of Oldo Towers, Oldo Towers made some measurements to keep the visitors outside the park before the actual opening. Oldo Towers did not place footpaths directly behind the entrance. Due to this you won??????t be annoyed by visitors during the designing of Oldo Towers.
- Because Oldo Towers wants to be a thrill park and family park at the same time, a good balance should be made between thrill rides, puke rides and gentle rides. It is up to you to determine this balance.
- Because Oldo Towers offers a big land plot it might be a good idea to build up to the river first. You are free to use to land behind the river though, so you can use it if you want to.
- Oldo Towers always knew how to fit there theming to the nature so they would be in harmony together. That is why you are not allowed to remove all the forest behind the river; it can be adjusted but not totally removed.

Good Luck!
This contest was originally hosted at themepark.nl by RoelerMF, I thought it might be a cool idea to host it here too. So I asked RoelerMF and he said it was ok, so I started translating it, after a lot of time it was all done. Anyway: Special thanks to RoelerMF!
Q: Does the park have to be running when we submitt it? Also to sum up the story, all we gots to do is fill up the park with rides and build the new Oldo Towers? Also your lil missions Also your Mission Impossible where you have to make the mainstreet worthy can you cut down all that crap and put new trees/shrubs... basicaly any foliage? And we build a new entrance, right? which means we tear down the one that was there and build a new one? Sorry if thats too long [:p]
A: It doesn't have to be running, as said in the text you cannot remove the woods in the mountains, you can adjust them but not just remove it all. You build a new mainstreet entrance, which means you cut down the bushes there and place some cool gate or something. You should not remove the park entrance! You can also check out my park for this contest which might clear up some questions. (Click here)
Q: So for the main street thing, are we supposed to remake the ENTIRE main street, or just make a nice entrance where the Mission Impossible thing was???
A: Only the mainstreet entrance. So NOT the park entrance and NOT the entire mainstreet. Like showed in the mission impossible screenshot.
Q: Question, can we change what rides, objects, etc.. in the editor, or do we have to use the ones that are currently in the saved game?
A: sure, you are allowed to change those.
Q: Are we allowed to send you updated park if we worked on it
A: You can send in a park now when it is, for example half way finished. And if you find the time you can send in a completed version later. Your last entry will be the one participating in the contest.
Once you've uploaded your park to the exchange that will lock your status, meaning that you can't update it anymore by sending it in again.
Q: yo GFA, i think there should also be awards for other things, such as : Best Themed Rollercoaster, Best Themed Flat Ride and/or Water Ride [;)]
A: Good idea [pshades] They won't be placed in the contest section then, but I'll make sure they will be announced in the result movie or this topic.
So participants, give it your all on one ride [;)]
![[lol]](https://www.coastercrazy.com/forums/images/smilies/icon_e_ugeek.gif "test"){kind=icon}
