  Hmm... No comments. I thought this was a great recreation but could have been pushed a little further to really win that accolade. Good Luck next time though

  I'm very sorry to say this but the coaster was rubbish. That tight turn and all the extremely drawn out parts really killed this otherwise nice design. God I sound like JDP

  Okay, judging from the overview this is almost exactly NeViS' Kraken layout..?

  ^^ Not at all, those are my sentiments exactly. While this looked to be pretty decent when I first opened it, everything went downhill immediately after that. Well, everything except the coaster itself which was closed. So, I opened the coaster and watched it...feeling immediately bad for every rider that survived the interminable wait at the top of the lift because they were soon going to black out during that tight turn following the Immelman. Then, I thought about all the unconscious riders hanging out the right side of the trains during the banked trek back to the station following the final brake run. Then, the ride broke down and as I waited for the non-existent mechanic to not fix it, I delved into the theming a bit more and realized how unfinished it actually was.
  
  The fucked thing is...this could have been a very good design...maybe even deserving of the 80 that Kumba gave this (which, BTW, was the same score he gave Vulture...dude, don't ever complain about anyone else's scoring like...forever) had he just thought everything through just a little bit. I just can't believe that you could watch this as you're calling it "finished" and think that it's all good.

  Well, its true everything you guys said, I did the coaster like Nevis, but to make feel like the real kraken, the is a lot thing that you can't do because of the things you can do. It's suck in a it a lot of things, but the scenery was excellent. It's was a fail recreation. I search a lot of recreation of the coaster design and all were just like this one. I really would like that somebody do a excellent recreation of this amazing ride. Thank for the honest . Next time I will try to do something greater.

  I suppose I should comment on this one since I expect I know this coaster best..
  
  The problem with this coaster is that there's a lot of subtleties with the layout that make it difficult to replicate in RCT-- the lift crosses the brake run, the corkscrew is much larger than can be done in RCT and it's spread out and angled in such a way that there really isn't a good way to represent that correctly in RCT... or at least aesthetically. Then if you look at the supports, a lot of them are very awkward due to the service road underneath. Even still, the service road gets awfully narrow in some places.
  
  To me, this design attempt came close in some regards, but missed on others. First, let me know that I'm looking at this purely from a realistic recreation standpoint. The coaster is probably the most important part of a recreation and for the reasons outlined above, I think you gave it a good shot at trying to include all the parts of the layout in their general relation to each other, but unfortunately the in between is just too far stretched to really get something that looks good on the whole. To the theming, this part was actually not that bad. You can tell you looked at google earth and a lot of pictures. The back areas were relatively decent in terms of egress stairs and stuff- though you forgot a couple of doors on there. The cave out front is pretty rough, but I can see what you were going for with it. The queue buildings from the entrance/locker area up through the photo building to the station is pretty decent though a little plain. Overall, that section is layed out the best and probably contributed to my score the most. While pretty rough all around it was nice to see a recreation attempted as those are tough.
