    You had some weird zero-clearance glitches going on, with some of the foliage and the wooden coaster. A lot of it seemed really unfinished, so I'm not sure why you submitted it competitively. The rapids in particular seemed really half-assed - if you're going to have that kind of station, you've got to hack it onto steel looping track or something. The millions of S-bends in the river were just an eyesore.

    The setting/atmosphere were probably the best part of the submission, although it still felt empty and incomplete, like you were missing other rides and buildings. The mountain was empty. The few sections of metal bracing on the coaster's supports were unfinished, particularly over the river.

    As for the coaster, the design was alright, nothing special - I do feel, though, the station passes have been brutally beaten to death over the past few months. That's not directed at you in particular, but I'm really, really tired of seeing all these designs worm around just to have this feature that isn't even that great to begin with. The pacing was a little on the slow side in the last half, and the train barely makes it into the final brake run.

    More on the nit-picking side of things, the path that follows the coaster around just to dead-end in some water jets seemed a little pointless. I would do more with things like that on future projects. Put the jets on paths that go somewhere.

    Considering that clearly has CSO, I would say not.

    "Just to see the score" I feel is a bad reason for using the panelists time and whoever made the map. You know it wasn't going to score so what was the point?? And depending on who voted on it your score could vary greatly. I truley believe that. And that is nothing on your project at all. In general, I feel like dependoing on who votes on the judges you get the score can be severely different. Mainly due to the new judges on the panel.

    Weirdly enough, I don't habe that much problem with that. People just want to gauge and have a number put on their work seeing what it's worth. Hell I have done that for my old LL parks even if I didn't expect it to win anything (wanted them added to the database anyway).

    Even for a 'half-assed' attempt it wasn't that bad. The theming was just poor.
