[FLIPDUDE]

Looks awsome! Cant wait till you finish!

[cedarpoint]

[FireBird1987]

WTF i thought there was no ice theme in RTC3 ???

anyways nice job m8

[omgukk]

First time i said "whoa" out loud when looking at a RCT screenshot.(ice hotel) very good!

[Teirmose]

Dare I say...... Very Cool.....indeed.... Nice job.

[zordork]

just looking at those pics makes me want to curl up in front of a roaring loag fire with a nice cup of hot chocky.... well done

[baseball617191]

thats awesome...i really like the monorail pic...i want to download that

[RCT4me]

Hmm... Alot of things look very monochromatic in there and not too good. Try adding a bit more blue.

But good work though. :up: :up:

Oddly enough, I actually like the subtle color scheme that is currently being used. Quite a bit. I also like pineapple on my pizza, though, so take that with a large grain of salt.

Great Job:up: Kinda ironic how its a park of winter and your link is www.LATEAUGUST.com.:cool:

It looks quite bland though, plus I've never seen ice with so many shades of grey. Oh well, your park.

[Teirmose]

That is a very artistic job you have done with the north pole. I like your use of colors.

[4Cowboys4Life]

I think it appears quite cold. Very nice job!

He is doing the best with what he has. We all are.

While everyone is doing a great job, to be quite honest, I think the look he's created is one of the more unique around. Some things look better without a ton of colors. I'm not sure he's doing the best with what he has as much as doing an excellent job that is not to everyone's taste. It's certainly to mine.

If you look closely, you'll see that he was VERY meticulous in his color selection throughout the park, thus leading me to believe that the look he ended up with was exactly what he was going for.

I was supporting him, by rebuking RCT4me's comment.

Thanks for the thoughts everyone. Yes, I am sort of going for an overall matching aesthetic of cold and sparse. Here are a couple of newer screenshots:

I know the water seems cold for the jet skis, but some folks are into that.

Again, thanks for your comments.

[Teirmose]

Berrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr........ Jet Skis in Siberia. Ouch.

I Love your work. Great job. 5 Stars and a thumbs up.

Now all you need is a ski slope for bunnies.

:up:

[Simbolism]

Looks very sharp, imaginative and fun! Excellent job

[GardenGuy]

I still haven't gotten your screenshots out of my mind since you posted them!

Any chance you are at a point where you can post the park for us to take a look at firsthand?

[DJ Atomix]

Im putting you in my sig and I need a phrase of some sort. Such as AsTro WorLD -Making A Better Place For Tomorrow-

[mexifelio]

This park is very unique, and I really enjoyed the screenshots. I was kind of bumed out that RCT3 didn't seem to have much winter theming, but your screenshots just go to show if you try hard enough you can make mountains out of a frozen mole hill. The rollercoaster coming out of the building is fantastic. Awesome job, and love the jet skiis :)

Got back to work on this. Some recent pics...

[Simbolism]

The sheer number of architectural elements is astounding!

And those coasters look spectacular!

[Milkdud]

Beautiful stuff dude :D. Its so cool, it almost looks like the screenshots were edited to make 'em black and white!

[circleVision]

Stunning! And very unique to boot!!

[i_feel_sick]

Could anybody spare me a sweater..??? Bah.. forget it... I'm already melting with envy with what I see in this park - buildings and coasters - the two areas of RCT3 in which I lack imagination... Whoa... Superb job !!

[lineuphere]

Ok, I'm done with this thing. I've taken a while off, but now I feel it's ready for the world to enjoy.

Here are several final photos of "The North Pole"

So enjoy.

Please know that in order for the park to work, you must have your settings set for rides to intersect scenery -

Nice park!I'll download it when i'm back from school. :)

[rizzla]

Brilliant park with lots of lovely details! Sadly, it runs at about 1 fps on my system... :cry:

How about a South Pole variation without water, but with mountains and crevices? ;)

[jarhead12343]

Again, thanks. And enjoy.
