Here it is, Amethyst!

This is my failed design attempt, Amethyst, an Inverted B&M themed loosely around the Amethyst Quartz.
I'm very proud of this work, i admit the end of the coaster is a little weak but i had fun building this. The landscaping on this map is some of my best, i broke away from a lot of the things that were holding me back in LL an this project flowed amazingly well.

I got one more design attempt in the works then I'm starting the solo =)

enjoy, more work to come soon.

I'm going to get someone to take one, my GFX are horrible, it would look like a pixelated mess.

Yet another submission that was robbed to only further my confusion about the accolade panel.

Looks great, rK_. That station looks incredible, though the ride design isn't the BEST, I would still have given it a page. Well done.

Actually, I can see why this didn't get design.

The theming and everything looks fantastic, but the coaster itself is a huge let down. I'm only looking from the overview, but I can already tell that the coaster won't flow right.

It looks like you did the theming, and then put the coaster in, and struggled to make it fit right.

amazing work. i love the style you have, it gives out amazing atmosphere, but doesnt give the mess that some other ll parks have.

Looking forward to more work from you

(oh and I forgot to reply to the PM, sorry)

I'm sorry, but do you mind explaining what "confusion" you had previously?

Seems a bit dull to come here complaining especially when you were in a direct position to have a lot of influence of the outcome of said topic.

well the layout is a bit of a letdown, but the rest is so good that i think i would give this Design.

I love the layout, especially the ending.
I always find non-inversions on inversion heavy coasters to be the funnest part anyway, and those sweeping turns from island to island would probably be one of the highlights on this ride, not the loop or corkscrew they can find on any ride of this tye.

It looks really great and probably even Design worthy, hopefully you are successful in your next try.

i liked this, a lot. while the ending could have been improved, the foliage and landscaping were above excellent, and i liked the station a lot. the only things i didn't like were how the textures of the buildings blended in too much, and there was too much wood. also, i think the green tile path stuck out a bit too much. everything else was gorgeous, however, and i can't wait to see what you'll do next.

This design was not robbed.

Great architecture, great foliage, great landscaping... mediocre layout. And for a Design, the layout is more important than any of the rest.

That said, it's wonderful to see some classic LL around.

^^Well I always thought the layout was the main focus, but I am proof that it's not. However, I am not too sure how the new staff grades things.

Actually form what I recall, the comments I received on it were good comments and were from today's moderators.

ty gee.

and yes the point of a design would be the layout. thats why im not surprised this didnt get a spot, its not a typical layout, but it does flow very well if you ask me.

overall im happy with the votes i got, its given me alot more confidence with my work, my coasters were sad a few years back =/

Yeah, I thought this was good but borderline, which is why I was slow on voting. The landscaping and atmosphere was nice and was the main plus of the design, but I think more variety would've helped. The area lacked life, other than seeming like one giant garden for the coaster to fly through. The coaster layout was decent. I liked the nontraditional windy ending. I'm not sure if it was just the save I had, but the trains should've been spaced better.
