From where it started to where it ended, was such a joy watching this come together.

Incredible way to end the season for our Coaster King!

I keep coming back to this. There is a clarity to the composition and elements you've put together here that I feel is a step up from your already impressive work. I love the balance between the lush greens and yellows of the landscape, the white coaster, and the browns and blacks of the architecture. Very exciting work.

The combination of those dark curved beams with the vibrant red canvas roofing is such a smart choice. The verticality is also so impressive. For my personal taste, a few more pops of color to really emphasize the forms and create contrast would have made this perfect.

Congrats on the release Hexyboi! Really excited to see more non-contest work from you (well, kinda?). The coaster is stellar as we come to expect (beside my pet peeve of coasters floating above tracks but that's my cross to bear). Agree with Posix, the colors are impressive with how natural they feel without ever going too green or getting washed out. This has an almost Alex vibe too it, even reminds me of Xophe's last design, Canyoneer, in that the design is focused on the coaster in a pleasant natural setting and with very minimalistic, subtle references. The coaster and the scenery feels very real without pushing too far outside the scope for this kinda of  coaster and setting. The attention to detail for the coaster and it's infrastructure in particular is really wonderful.

I do feel that the minimalistic approach is perhaps masking some of the areas you're less confident in. While a great strategy for this release (which resulted in a really polished product) I would love to see you tackle more, particularly architecture. The plaza, for example, could have been a great opportunity to push yourself in that regard. Hit me up if you ever want archy feedback or tips, I'm always down to fiddle with things. Regardless, I think the aesthetic and style of this design being focused as they are has produced a really wonderful design. Congrats again SIR!
