Description
Hello everyone! I am new to the site and this is my first mega-park. I hope you guys like it, please take a look and let me know what you think :). I have seen some pretty good stuff on here, so I know I probably won't be able to 'compete' with the big guys, but it was fun making this and I did put quite some effort into it as me being a rct2-newbie. Please feel free to download and let me know what you think in the comments!

Nice to see a new player! The odd thing is it almost looks NCSO but it isn't, really reminds me of those Six Flags scenarios that came with the game.
There are some good layouts, the wooden coaster is aesthetically pleasing to look at whereas others like the air powered vertical coaster look a little lethal. The launched monorail really irks me though... why?! Why did it have to be launched?
The aerial looks good but when I zoom in, the landscaping needs more consistency... the park varies from temperate woodland to boreal forest to desert to tropical beach and the haphazard use of the mountain tool detracts from this. There are definitely some pretty spots though, the go-karts track is well-executed, and the entrance area with the big glass buildings somehow works really well. I like the giga station. One suggestion I have would be to rotate your trees and bushes... it will look much better.
Overall it's a cool park and you definitely have potential, I would recommend starting on a smaller park for your next release to practice scenery and landscaping.There's definitely good spots, but they're sprawled apart by areas that look rushed.

Congrats on finishing your first project here. I agree with Jag that you have some interesting ideas here.. just needs refinement. Having a small water park was cool. The small path to the beach area was a nice detail. You have some basic hacks down, and in that regard the car ride was honestly my favorite bit in the park.
I'd recommend looking at some bronze/silver accolade parks and some recent parks to get a feel for where to go next time. As always, practice makes us better, so keep at it and post some screens on the front page for feedback!

This reminded me of the old days when I first started playing, which is always fun. My favorite bit was the glass and brick monorail station I think, and then maybe the beach near the little farm. Thats a nice touch.
Two things to work on next- layouts and landscaping. For the former, looking to real life coasters is a good idea, as well as making more flowing and smooth curves, transitions, etc- and I think perhaps all of your coasters are a bit too long and big. For the landscaping, firstly avoid using the mountain tool or you'll end up with hundreds of identical pyramid shaped blobs which is very unnatural. Also pay attention to water level- it doesn't make sense to have a waterfall from the sea into a ditch- it would keep pouring until it flooded the whole park! (unless you're dutch). There's a similar strange lake in the mountains. Lastly, be more careful with foliage. Instead of just throwing trees around on bare ground, place them carefully with underbrush foliage to make areas of forest, barer areas, and grassland in a more natural way.
Keep it up and look forward to more!
