    ! Wanted ! I celebrate you, you are my personal hero now! :mantis:

    Thx to the people involved in the voting process.
    MCI and I had a lot of fun building this because Skyrim is just an awesome game,
    this is not a recreation, but if u look closer, i think u will see where this design takes place...

    In the end we had so much ideas, maybe it would have been better to do a whole themepark in Skyrim Theme :p

    And please forgive me the horrible translation mistake from "Drachenblut" to "Dragonblood", it's meant to be "Dragonborn", it was allready sent in when I recognized this ... :D

    So here is Dovahkiin -- the layout is made by MCI by the way , I personally really like it -- I hope you like it =)
    And I think I can allready promise that their will be more cooperational work from us in "near" future... ^^

    Have fun with it ;P

    I actually really enjoyed this (never get the idea that one only likes a submission if they vote for design), this was definitely a great step in the right direction.

    The NCSO in this submission was very well done. If it were not for the overused colorable gumdrops and the little penis memorial area it was not too noticeable at first glance ,which is a compliment!

    The layout was very fun. The chain seemed a tad fast, and I think the first drop turn worked well to keep the layout compact, but would have still preferred the tradition vertical drop more I think. (Points for creativity though). Even though those large angled track pieces make a layout very flowy, excessive use of these can be a little unimpressive- sort of like taking the easy way out. (See Pacificoaster's design for beautiful examples of flow).

    Even though this was NCSO, I was uninspired by the foliage. I wish I could give you more constructive feedback on this, but I can't put my finger on what it really was that I didn't care for.

    The map layout seemed poorly thought out, I got the feeling that the two corner areas were last minute additions that I think deserved more space on the map. Great job on this submission though, keep it up and you'll get design for sure!

    I adored this, and with a bit of work it could've been a design. I kept repeating to myself "this is so cool!" every time I came across a little reference, whether it be a named custodian or entertainer, or a bandit's camp, etc. Each detail was so cool.

    That said, this as a whole didn't deserve the design status, but damn was it a fun entry. Like it's mentioned above, the foliage and landscaping as a whole could've been better, and some things executed to a higher standard (as they felt rushed, maybe?). Some of the architecture was rather elaborate for a NCSO submission, specifically the station, which was awesome and I instantly recognized what you were going for. But on the other hand, you fell victim to the simplified archy that most NCSO submissions have, exhibited by the blocky village buildings. Why didn't you guys try to recreate the game's archy more? The Bannered Mare could've looked so much nicer. :p

    The layout was cool and I liked it's footprint, but it only looked good from one angle imo. The lift was awesome, but more thought could've been put into its placement. It's just out there in the woods. Emphasize it! It's one of the most important things on the map!

    Overall this was great, though. With more time it definitely could've bee a design. Ya did good, kiddos.

    I was obsessed with this when I first opened it, and it kept my attention for a very long time. That, combined with atmosphere, is what NE accolades are to me. When it boils down to it, all of the perfects and imperfections mean nothing to me. It's about keeping my attention & atmosphere. And the coaster layout was just lovely!

    After reading the above comments, I decided to look at this.

    It's nice to see how much better your work is once it's decently inspired. The darkness you chose to save the park with wasn't really for me. Another early impression I had was that the architecture was pretty random and thus incomprehensive to the viewer. The path layout was part good, part very bad. Some of the land elevations were too much, creating a disharmony when moving outside the main centerpiece.

    I am glad you finished this.
    The coaster is just amazing also his station.
    Like posix already said the architecture felt a bit random for me too. For myself i never played skyrim but when i saw the pictures of your inspiration i didn't feel this gigantism from the game in your park. Try to improve your architecture and foilage and i think you can easily get an accolade.

    Thanks guys!
    Overall I´m very pleased with the way we finished this.
    Yeah, the foliage was a bit rushed. When we started this Colorado-Fan was involved in the planning process and wanted to do the foliage in the end. But when it came to the point the only thing left to do was the foliage, he didn´t wanted to do it anymore/he got the save and didn´t show up the next month. So BigB and I did it ourselfes, maybe a bit rushed as I said before.
    The penis memorial is supposed to be a stone circle (or do u mean the Tower in the corner?!), like there are a few in skyrim.
    Maybe we should have listened to gee, who told us it was looking like penises in our stream a few weeks back... :D

    The funny thing is, although knowing each other for 4years now BigB and myself never did a collab before. What a shame because, as BigB said, it was a ton of fun building this together.

    4 years ?!

    god ! I'm going sentimental :'(

    well actually it's not really true we didn't a collab before, this is just the only one that found an end...

    4 Years? It's been that long since I've finished anything in RCT :p

    And now I know what that guy says in those fus-roh-dah videos

    The station's Dragonsreach, the surrounding town is Whiterun, I saw High Hrothgar, the structures in the upper-right hand was... Bleak Falls Barrow? The town in the southwest corner was Markarth, I'm guessing.

    I'm pretty much a noob to this game, but I really loved the coaster. I've been dying to build an Intamin wing coaster, and this was a great layout for one. I agree with the above comments though. The foliage could use a little work and the surrounding areas (though cool) were lacking in a bit of detail.

    I really hope this wasn't supposed to be whatever you just said^ or else I am completely misunderstanding something here. I thought this was supposed to be an Intamin hyper like Skyrush

    You´re right. It actually is supposed to be a Intamin Hyper Coaster like Skyrush. :D

    I meant Intamin Wing Coaster as in Skyrush. I believe that's what they called it, unless I'm mistaken. If I'm wrong, my bad.
  • Wanted%s's Photo
    You're right^
    Wing Coasters
    No idea why they call it wing coaster, especially when they have Wing Rider Coasters
  • Maverick%s's Photo
    It's just a hyper/mega/giga coaster with 4-across trains. Why they are calling it something different at all is just confusing.
