    Urgh, I've been judging a week and I've already seen too many submissions like this. It lacks creativity and originality, which can be fine if it has elegance, detail and/or is immersive/atmospheric. For me, this lacks everything. It is just a below average layout, set on a completely flat, unthoughtful landscape with a fence around it.

    Sorry to be harsh, I'm on a bit of a rampage tonight :)

    Better luck next time CC9, try and have a bit of a more defined vision for your park. Think what kind of atmosphere you want to create with you architecture and how the coaster can interact with the guests around, the landscape and itself. There's just nothing I can take away from this thinking "wow, that particular bit was cool, or quirky, or inspiring".

    You should have spent a bit more time and made a solid Renegade recreation. The layout is almost identical.

    Heh, it's funny, that's exactly how this started. :lol:

    For me this was one where the farther you zoomed out the better it looked. Work on the smaller details and you'll take the next step to getting a design.

    Just wondering, why didn't this one get any points?

    This was very solid and had a lot of potential.

    But it needs more than just rides and foliage.

    pet peeve, the custom supports in many places ruined it for me, it just didn't have a flow to it.

    Also work on the smaller things, they are what add that little smile to our faces!

    Work on creativity! Take inspiration and make it your own! :)

    Hmmmm well this is probably my first time out of the middle of the pack in terms of vote score... I guess I should explain myself.

    I'm not sure what I saw that nobody else did. Tbh the only thing that was glaringly sub par to me was the landscaping and foliage. Work on those aspects in your next project and add a bit more content and I think you'll have something pretty solid.

    I find submissions like this, and much of the stuff that has been submitted recently, toughest to judge. It's not horrible and it's not great, it's just kind of there. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish between if it's just not liking the style or if the work just has a lack of appeal.

    This has certainly given me pause for thought, though.
