Description
Longtime lurker finally dusting off RCT after being inspired by the contest. I actually got to go to Cuba last year, so I couldn't resist making something for this. Parque de Atracciones Trinidad is set in the wonderful colonial town of Trinidad. The small park features an in-house created terrain coaster with cars made from the 80's and 90's era Russian imports which can be found throughout the island (the 50's era American cars proved too heavy for the track). To keep costs low and save material, the track hugs the natural terrain of the hills. Many of the town's favorite attractions and restaurants have locations in or near the park such as the Disco Ayala, a disco set in one of the many limestone caves which dot the hillside.

I adore the cruise terminal in Puerta Vieja. IMO it was an easy best architecture nom for 2020 awards, and a better capture of the eclectic and powerful styles of Cuba than maravillas or parque de la habana. I know it got knocked for some bad angles and sloppiness, but it really is a step above to assemble contemporary, Spanish colonial, and socialist structures into a cohesive picture.
Thanks man, that's exactly what we were going for with its direction. We both contributed a lot to that structure - so it was a fun exercise in teamwork.
There's a lot of crumbled rocks / ruins in the water to show that a lot of the older structure was demolished during its renovation to make way for some of the more modern terminal style.
