These next two screens show more of the colonial area. The first shows the square with a giant Liberty Oak similar to the one in Liberty Square at WDW. The black things hanging from it are lanterns.
This shows off Patriot, the Intamin woodie similar to Balder. I just wanted to show the side panels on it like Balder's. Any suggestions on how to make them better?
you can make those walls on the left slanted if you raise the land at and angle. build the wall slanted. then zero clearance and lower the land back down.
Thanks for the great comments. This little screen shows the layout of Patriot, the woodie, minus the break run. Behind the major support structure for the lift is a bump track similar to the Crystal Beach Cyclone, with the straightaway having bumps, although mine is gradually descending. I looked on RCDB, and I realized that the side panels on Balder muffle sound for restrictions, but they looked so cool that I put them on my coaster.
For the corkscrew if it's just a generic layout like the one at Cedar Point they tend to have 6 cars, but if it's one with like 7 inversions such as Great American Scream Machine at Great Adventure or Viper at Magic Mountain then they have 7 cars.
Looks good and I like the detail you are putting into your structures. As for the woodie, is there something you don't want the riders to see? Having it at the top of the hill is not the loudest part of the ride? If you are trying to cut down on the noise levels from the sourounding area, the bottom of the hill would be the loudest I would think
Yay! More screens. I've been building and destroying areas, and I'm stuck in a rut. I thought of building a Chinese area w/ a B&M hyper or a GG-dominated Earthquake Alley, a mini-area themed to an earthquake-ridden town. However, I have no screens of either, so this is my topic's dump place!
This is the small Schwarzakopf looper I made while I had no idea what I was going to do. It's obviously generic, but mostly only the layout and the station are done.
This is a small pic of the colonial area's main square. It features the oak tree and an Independence Hall-esque building.
Just another portion of Hangman's layout. IMO the drop is cool, but I don't want to give it away...
This shows more of the Arrow. The unfinished building on the bottom is a halfway-constructed facade for a boardwalk dark ride. Don't pay attention to that...
All these latest screens are looking good!
The woodie looks interesting, I like the sound mufflers. I would suggest changing the land underneath the track to something other than grass, though.
The colonial area is looking great so far. The building with the green-roofed tower is particularly good, but I don't like how some of the decorative stone pieces cover the windows...
You seem to be making good progress. Keep up the good work!
you've been improving at a rapid pace, and these screens really show that. the only things i don't like are the supports on the helix in that last screen, and i'm wondering how fast the train is going through that curve before the corkscrew. other than that, i love it.

Dare I mention the corkscrew train length being too short?
