    A very bare design.

    Lots of things where missing here.
    Layouts wheren't impressive.
    Architecture was bare, it needed some more decoration and refinement.

    I was missing the peeps to create some more atmosphere and seeing that you used my bench, i wonder what you did to screw up the entrance.
    If you wanted to change the path there, then you should've inverted the ownership of the park with 8-cars and then you can change that last piece of pathblock.
    Invert ownership again to switch again.

    Don't feel discouraged though, we all start simple and advance while building. ;)

    Since this is you first entry to major contest at NE let me say: Welcome! Don't be discouraged by the results; try to grow from them and improve your overall game. There's still plenty of RCT to be played!

    As for the entry itself I agree with Arjan v l that it was quite barren and that the architecture was lacking in technical execution. However I thought the selection of path texture, music, and building color/texture was rather warm and inviting. It was also nice to see an entry with so many rides integrated into a nice "village" sort of feel. One of the biggest annoyances for me (personally) is that those rooves don't line up with all tiles and actually "leak" a few pixels through from below. Putting a regular 1/4 tiles under each of those would've helped. Don't be afraid to construct bigger, more complicated buildings either as 1x(whatever) sizes tend to limit what you can do. The snow and ice environment was a little overly white... it's usually wise to work in some grey stone or the like to break it up a little.

    Neither coaster was exceptional and sadly Ice Blaster was one of your few color related missteps (white on ice background) though I liked the train's colors.

    I hope you're encouraged enough to keep entering contests here and elevating your game and skills. :)

    I'm glad you entered! Always exciting to see someone new. I can't really say much more as ride6 said it all already.

    Actually I did not expect as this will score high, because this park but I quickly finished because otherwise I was pressed for time. Anyway, thank you for your reply's. And I know, it's a pretty unrealistic that with winter outside on a terrace sit :p. But, you have to start with something to get points. :p

    My biggest issue was the B&M sit down. Please don't use any ride off of the pre-built rct selection. They're all pretty awful and I'm sure you could of built something far better yourself.

    Also don't cut the land off so close to buildings. You've gave the map a really awkward shape. Give things a bit of surroundings, they help.

    It was an improvement from your other stuff. Keep building you'll get better :)

    Okay, thanks for the tips!
