I agree with zodiac on the water thing. Also, the glass gives sort of a paper-thin effect that I don't really like. Another thing is if the signs were attached to the awnings, they would prolly fall over, and if not, they would be in mid-air. Also, the awnings over the queue's are kinda odd, being placed in random directions. Finally, the foliage seems as though you randomly placed it. Put some more thought into where the foliage will go, and make each piece have a purpose. In fact, make each spot where you don't put foliage have a purpose.

Otherwise, it is a huge improvement.

It's better now that you have the net under the coaster (or cage, whatever it is), but the supports still leave a lot to be desired.

I really like that last screen.
Although I think it would be better having the back spike over water because the water doesn't really add any excitement to the front spike.
Another thing is I think you should break up the glass a little bit, it's too continuous and it shouldn't start at ground level. You should attempt at interior in the glass buildings, since it's so easy to see in the buildings.

Also, is the ride called Reef, or is that the exit to something else?

egg_head, Faceman, Zodiac - Thanks.

Zodiac, Gwazi - Water will be sorted.

Gwazi - I quite like the glass ATM, so that wont change. Signs I can change. They're not actually placed in random directions, each one turns 90*, I quite like it like that. And foliage isn't my strong point and I don't think it ever will be, however I do put a bit of thought into it. I can work on my foliage at a later stage.

gir - Supports I know about, there isnt much I can do. And thanks.

Comet - Thanks. The water is that side because it is that side, Lol. Interiors can be done, I dont know if I will though. Yes the Impulse is called Reef. Couldn't think of much else.

Thanks for all the comments. I should have another screen soon.

Yeah that's much better. It breaks the screen up more too, so it's not just one mass of path.

I wasn't telling you to change the glass, just maybe make some glass into a doorway or something to make it less paper-thin-like.

Oh yeah, and for foliage help, look at work from Turtle and J K. They have some excellent styles with it, and will help a ton.

I really like how the impulse station blends in with the rest of the buildings and how its just like part of the midway. Also the interaction with the path is really good, especially after you added the open foliage area under the launch.

The water area under the spike looks a little too forced, like it looks like the only purpose of the water is so the ride can be over it. Maybe you should try making the water area a little more natural looking. Also, I dont really like the net thing, but I never have really liked ride scenery, maybe because I was never in the community during rct1 days. IMO it would look better with kind of a themed arch or tunnel over the parth.

The shops and buildings look really nice, but they might look even better with a few balconies and less windows but I dont really think thats a problem

Nice job on the screen, there's just a couple of areas I feel are may a little under supported. The new cages you've added could probably do with a pole at each corner just to help support them. Also some of the shades (roofs) on the spinning cups queue line could also do with the missing corner supports added to make them look balanced.

Other than that keep up the good work.

It doesn't feel "fresh" but it certainly is fantastic.

I really like it, except that catwalk that is hanging by one bracket brace .It is the catwalk right next to that tower. I actually like the supports.

Lloyd, Ride6, Vekoma9 - Thanks.

Gwazi - I'll see what I can do with the glass thickness.

Camcorder22 - Thanks. The water actually does spread out, you just can't see it here.

Leonardofury - They are there. You just can't see them very well, I don't understand why. But I promise you that there are 4 posts holding them up.

Well it's finally here. Thanks for all the comments. So without further ado here is

Before entering Discovery Island please collect/purchase your tickets at Island Gateway. If you wish to report a complaint or speak to a member of our customer service team please make your way to Guest Services. Thankyou.

The first thing you see as you enter Discovery Island into Caribe Plaza is Reef.
Launching you forwards into a twisting vertical spike only to come straight back down again is a thrill you'll never forget on our very own Intamin Impulse.

Caribe Plaza also hosts two exciting flat rides. Caribe Rum Barrels and Ruthless Voyage are sure to be fun for all the family.

For the more daring, why not test your fear on Caribe Plaza's 2nd coaster. Hirakin a B&M Sit-Down. With 5 massive inversions and building up speed constantly, this one is not to be missed.

Need to recover. Why not take a gentle rapid ride around the Eastern Lagoon. You never know how wet you will get on Tifon River.

Moving into Southern Mexicana, you will come across Los Tikantos, a GCI Woodie that certainly packs a punch.

Also situated in Southern Mexicana are Tulanis and El Tipidago, two flat rides that will certainly get your heart racing.

Throughout the park there are many shops and cafes for a well earned rest, be sure to check out the wonderful surroundings as well.

Enjoy your visit at Discovery Island.

Download will be up soon.

Well I don't think it's big enough for a Runner-Up, otherwise I would give that a shot and send it in here. However if it's big enough for Vacation Park, I'm going to send it in to RCTSpace.

Thanks for the comment.

Runner up quality for sure man, looks good. I don't think it really matters how big it is (assuming it's not too small obviously), it deserves something, nice efforts.

Hirakin looks good, i'm intrigued.

posix - Well I've sent it in for Runner-Up & Vacation Park, hopefully it will be good enough to win one!

Lloyd - Thanks, it means a lot.

zodiac - Damn you! I thought I took it out quickly enough! Just don't let Buckeye Becky here you say that! It was meant to be unreleased! Thanks for the comment, it's nice to here such good reviews.

JDP - It's going to stay at 9 cars as that is what I have sent it in with.
