  Sorry...
  

  The theming and architecture were excellent (love those columns), but the coaster was a little weak, so I went with no. The ending was strange, but I think it kind of worked as Icarus slowly falling into the sea.

  Like I said, the coaster could've been better, which is what held it back. While the ending looked bad in the screens, it ended up being one of the most memorable parts of the design. And the theming really was very good. If there had been a bit more focus on the coaster, this certainly would've been a design for me, as you've definitely got the secondary aspects down. As it was, it was more of a mini-park, as the non-coaster aspects were generally the most interesting.

  Lucky for you I'm redoing parts of the coaster soon!
  
  edit: I always forgot to thank people... Thanks for your opinion!

  I really hope you will keep building, because you're absolutely improving. For the record, I voted this as a 'yes.' While I didn't particularly like the ending chain lift, I thought the layout was pretty good. Nice and simple and relatively smooth. Your theming is just so nice right now-- the columns were great as x-coaster said, and I really enjoyed the little things underneath the ride. That was all really pleasant and design-worthy for me. I did spend about 30 minutes just watching the park with peeps in it-- that was a lot of fun.
  Hope to see you keep building stuff!

  How the hell didn't this make Blueprint at avenged.
  It was really great Liampie, I especially loved the ending (minus the lift hill). And the backstage area was also an amazing touch, hope to see more of this type of stuff from you.

  I actually really liked the coaster; it seemed a very believable flyer layout - lots of swoops, turns, helices and the odd inversion. I imagine it would be a lot of fun to ride in real life. I do love the ending inversion, but it's a shame that after the inversion, it's just got brakes and a chain lift return; I think with all the speed the train had, there could have been a way to really nail the finale to the ride. As it is, it's *almost* very good.
  
  Overall, I did enjoy the coaster and its theming, but sort of agree with the fact that it feels more like a mini park than a design, and also, it just sort of lacks that certain extra special something to make it design-worthy. And so it sort of sits on the borderline between getting the design spot and not, which is what the results seem to show.

  I liked it, too but you didn't reach your full potential with this, I'd say.
  
  I found it a bit strange that the backs of the buildings were higher detailed and looked even better to me than the fronts.
  Also water is not white/grey!! Besides that I liked it at most parts but as others already said you should have focused on theming the coaster instead of the rest.
