    I have decided that I am going to postpone any production on DLR because I am just running dry with ideas for it... I am going to Disneyland in July and WoF the last week of June so I should be able to pick it back up then with inspiration. Linoma Woods Park gets its name from two cities in Nebraska: Lincoln and Omaha ... my home town... whoo hoo! Okay, well anyway, I have the entrance and one coaster complete, I am also almost complete with the mountain that the park's inverted coaster goes through/around...

    Oh yeah, I am making this park without custom scenery so it should be interesting at the final result, it's only 100x100 so it won't take all too long to finish (hopefully)... anyway, here are two screens:

    The flyover the restroom that comes after Truene Aguila's first drop...

    Comments/criticism welcome.

    The first thing that came to my mind when I scrolled over the photos was "Mmmmmm, this park is so qauint."

    Really, this sums the park up perfectly. Your archy is nice, exspecially the fact that it isn't the same old 2x2.

    So, that whole speil about the park being "qauint" wasn't a good thing for your information. So let's talk about fixing it.

    Try to add someone color to the park, I mean, what you've got here is fine but the colors you've chosen are those monotone earth colors which all newbs pick. It just gets boring. I guess the reason that they pick it is because it's safe, you can't go wrong with it. So, add some color here and there, I mean bright colors, flowers and coaster themeing should help with that. Change the color of the coaster to give it some more life, not that boring dull orange which you've got painted on there now.

    Stay away from the wooden rocks, it just doesn't work (except for in jungle themes). Make the distance between your rocks smaller and have more of them. For that earthy feel that you're trying to achieve here I would use, rock, dirt, and red, with dirt sidings to them all.

    So overall, your archy is very nice just put some more color in there, your rock themeing needs some work but it really isn't hard, and your coasters seem fine, just change that color and your on the road to success. Good luck with your constructions.

    Very nice park. The architecture is really nice since it isn't so blocky and big...just right.

    Nothing bad so far.

    This park looks sweet! I want to see some new screen shots. The invert looks awesome

    Looking very good! The architecture is looking great, and the path design looks good as well. I'm not a fan of the wooden sides on the rocks, but that is mainly a personal preference. The once fault, as Gilthcwolf pointed out, add a little color!

    Thanks for the help Glitchwolf, your posts are what NE should be full of! Very nice advice, albeit not much color was added, the spice of color was a definite lift for the park. I don't know about the bright orange for the coaster, but we'll see... (any suggestions? a green/yellow scheme is already taken by another coaster so any thoughts?)

    Here are the first two screens revisited:

    Not all of the second screen (or 4th or whatever) shows up, but anyways...

    I'm liking the new version, I really like the red, it looks great, especially on the middle building, on the bottom left hand building, it looks kinda out of place. I'd suggest using a different type of wall and still the red, and see how that works. As for the green...hmm...I think the old colors of the overhangs would fit in well here, but it's your choice.

    Lookin' good, keep it up!
  • JBruckner%s's Photo
    You did a uber job with this, man!

    Everything is just great. The new red in the screens really gives some life to the park, spicin' it up.

    So yes, you did everything wonderfully, the new coaster colors look good, really brings it out. Overall there is alot more life to the park. Now on to some more stuff you can fix up.

    Now, don't get me wrong, I don't know what your going for but I'm not too fond of your tree selection. If your going more for that woods feel then get rid of those Willows, they don't help. But more pine trees and conifers. Stuff you would see in cold places pretty much. Get rid of the short trees also (the name escapes me now), they don't look too good. Try to go for taller trees. If what I'm saying goes complety over your head look at some of Fatha's' and Pyro's parks, they match themes well.

    So yeah, get rid of those trees, oh and that green rock in the water and your better off than you are now (which is really good still). Oh, and try to keep bushes off the roof. If you can't find something to put there, do what I would do, just make the building better, it only makes it better.

    Good luck! Don't take everything I take so seriously, it's just what I think.

    I think this is looking very nice indeed. Although I think the entrance was best as it was the 1st time round, I like those red and brown awnings. The bushes on top of the main building I am not to sure about but otherwise the entrance is very nice. The flyer looks pretty cool, some good colour schemes. I will just have to see how the layout is.

    Good job so far, a better park than I expected.

    it´s nice, but the new colors look out of place. i´d try to put some more color in the next areas, if i was you.
  • GuestLittle Wilso%s's Photo
    I think this is looking good. Just change the awnings back.

    :et: Turned :et:

    I liked the earlier screens better.
    The first screen is too colorful for my taste. But it's your park, doeth as thou wisheth.

    You could improve your rocks with putting in some black wooden sidings with the black rock-surface here and there. Try to make siding and suface fitting together. Yep.
    Looks great otherwise.

    very, very nice.

    i like the invert better with the bright orange and without the trees in front of it (by the restroom), also think that the entrance looked better with the brown instead of the orange (you used floors !, youre my hero...)

    would be nice to see some more of the coaster :)

    looking really good, nice archy, cool B)
  • Silenced%s's Photo
    This park looks so much better brighter :yup:
    I wanna see more of that invert! Cant wait for more screenies



    knuckles :yup:
  • RMM%s's Photo
    You have definently improved...
  • John%s's Photo
    Thanks for all the comments! All on just two screens... cool.

    The awnings add more color being yellow and green so the brown and red are out, otherwise the building would be flooded with too much red.

    I'll show more of Truene Aguila after I finish more theming around the latter part of the ride, all that is finished there is the mountain which you've already seen.

    For now, here's a screen of a shop without a name yet... lol

    Those screens look very good and *gasp* no custom scenery. With all this new scenery coming out it almost seems mandatory to have it. Back on topic, this park has such a nice atmosphere and the invert looks good. Hope to see more soon.
  • John%s's Photo
    Okay um well... I accidentally deleted this a long time ago and tried at it again and once again it was deleted because RCT2 was acting strange and I had to re-install it. I started it back up a couple days ago and it's now around 20% finished. Here are two screens of what's new... I'll have a screen of the wooden coaster in a day or two.

    Here is Wildfire and part of the S&S-manufactured drop towers Dynamite & Detonator.

  • Description

    This was my first completed and publicly released park at New Element. Much to my delight, people were actually taking notice about me, even though I was considered a “n00b” to NE. There is not much to the park: a B&M; launched coaster, a combo twin S&S; tower ride and a few other minor attractions. The park may not be much, but finishing something was a major accomplishment for me as a new-to-the-scene parkmaker, and it would prove to be quite the difficult task from there on out.
