    well done austin!
    i didn't think this was going to get design, really well done! i liked it for what it was, and however much i didn't think it was design worthy, it just broadcasts how much of an excellent player you're sure to become. btw, NEVER hesitate to ask me about anything, wether it be beta testing or just general stuff, i'm always here to help!
    congrats again.

    Worst design ever ? :p
    Oh well, I won and I'm pretty proud of it. I guess the biggest thing about this is that it it was built in about 26 hours excluding testing and stuff. Overall I'm pretty happy, The foliage was my main focus here, along with landscaping, layout, supports, and very little focus on architecture.
    It was very stressful watching people vote on this, I think with 14/15 points it was like a 64.45 then Kumba got the last vote and pushed me over.
    Thanks to Nin and SSSAmmy for helping me with feedback and Thanks to Chapelz, Kumba, Posix and Gee for helpin get it released.

    Worst design ever ? :p


    Yes, but still a hell of a lot better then other failed designs :) You can be proud of yourself. Nice recreation, but I don't like the layout in reallife and I don't like this layout either. None the less good job on scoring design.

    Pretty good... we were just there two weekends ago and rode it. Was a great ride, but can see some things that could've been done better. Overall great job.

    Definately not the worst design. I voted 70%, a pretty convincing design score, because I didn't really know how someone could do the coaster itself much better. A better station area and peeps could've pushed this towards 75%.

    Good job, and congratulations!

    Worst design ever ? :p

    No, not even close. (Volcanic Advent, anyone?)

    There are some issues -- leaving in white-glitched supports is just sloppy, and that transfer mechanism would not work properly -- but overall very solid.

    Thanks guys, I was (sortoff ) joking about it being the worst design. I not upset at all at the score, just happy it passed. Like I said I didnt put much time into this, I litterally just put together the layout after going to fiesta texas and thought "Maybe I could win with this". like 30 hours later It was submitted haha.

    Brent-Really? I must have just missed you then. What day were you there?

    To be honest, I didnt like the actual ride as much as I thought I would. The cliff dive was fun and the Zero-G roll was sweet, but it was kindoff mediocre to me. I liked Rattler the best :p

    Congrats on the design win. If you could manage to build on this into the full park, it might have the potential to be spotlight.

    A few things that I think could have been improved. The unsightly ride entrance/exit huts could have been made invisible since the hack for that is now common knowledge here. Also, there were several spots that seemed to be missing some parts like the stairs on the station needed some more hand rails and supports. One or two more times of zero clearance could have made that look more finished. Also I'm not a big fan of the standard queue lines, but that's just my preference when building for realism.

    Enough criticism, time to focus on the positives. You seem to have nailed the layout and custom supporting. That's always been one of the hardest things for me and it's always good to see a full size custom supported coaster that looks nice at the same time. Your architecture quality has definitely been on the rise as I've seen from you in the AD. Now I've never seen this in real life, but what you got for the station and queue area is pretty damn good.

    BTW, great idea with the steeplechase track for the chain return.

    Looking forward to seeing more from you later on here.

    As has been mentioned, you were pretty good on that layout, you got all the proper crossovers and the orientation of everything looked good too. Only bad thing was that the loop went the wrong way ;) I thought the cliffs looked pretty good for the amount of detail you were going for. I've never been on the real thing and maybe the picture's I'm using for reference are old but it seems like you noticeably outdid Six Flags or mother nature on the landscaping on the grassy parts, and it would have been cool if you could have made the water in the lake dirtier somehow (maybe choose green water but do something else too?). The ground by the cobra roll is also pretty off, but it definitely conveys the point that it partially goes over the water ride's lake. Some other minor things amiss as well (coasters with three trains have three storage tracks!) but I'm excited to see where your rapid improvement takes you.

    I found this to be awesome and uneventful. It was really well done, i love the accuracy, and the simplistic style is SO on key to this sort of design. what i mean by uneventful was that it didnt hold my attention that long. i watched it twice, and was done. but i was very content at that. which maybe not the most interesting, you really have a beautiful recreation that is every bit what i would expect from something so accurate. Well done!

    I checked the pictures for this one, and I was quite impressed with how you translated the real life coaster into RCT. As others have said, there wasn't much else going on but everything did look very clean. Definitely worthy of a design in my opinion.
