But, nonetheless, it turned out better than I 
had envisioned. -gir

Thanks to those who download, it was fun to make and see it "come to life" in-game. The final evaluation was 12.85, missing the mark by .15 points. I've attached the version that I submitted, and a revised release version. I'm curious to know which version you like better, so download both if you want. Otherwise, I suggest just downloading the "release" version. Thanks again!

ouch, 12.85 must hurt.

Anyways, the flow of the track was nice, but there wasn't enough surroundings to support it.

I like the changes you made. I think this was a great design, and I especially loved the creek for some reason. The steep banks just looked really good to me! Sorry that this didn't quite score high enough for the design spot.

i voted it a 16 and really am saddened to see this not win, especially because some other designs i don't think were as good won barely scraping by with a low score.

Thanks for the comments guys. I'm not really upset that it didn't make design, but thanks to those who think it should have--it gives me a bit more encouragement.

those tables inside the land is an interesting hack- pretty cool. shame you can't make the arches go higher so you can see it better!

I liked this one as it was simple and elegant, but it was just a bit too empty, and the coaster layout didn't do that much for me. I think I gave it a 13.

Meh, I agree with the not design quality voters no offense.

Okay maybe I did mean to be offensive.

i know i've said it once, and i have to say it again after watching this for a while last night. the layout is so fantastic. easily one of the best woody layouts for 2009 and it deserves a lot more recognition than it has received.

please tell me that you will build something else, gir?

Oh you never know. I've been toying with entering a mini to Kumba's contest, then there's some other projects I could pick up work on (old H2H3 with Alec???, a certain trio, who knows?). To be honest I wouldn't expect anything during the school year though. The summer looks much more promising right now.

I'll try to upload a full aerial if I get some time later.

I wish I could download this! The screens are so classy, it's unbelievable. I must have missed this earlier, and I regret it because LL was working for me then. You're one of my favorite parkmakers and I'm so disappointed I can't see this in game yet.

The layout for the coaster is by far the strongest aspect of this creation and probably worthy of a design. However, the theming and general surrounding area is in my opinion what lets this down and with all due respect overall doesn't warrant this worthy of a design accolade.

There are some nice ideas in here and flashes of future potential but on a whole it feels very haphazard, especially the ferris wheel. If I'm honest it looks like something from when I was playing the scenarios back in the stone ages.

I'm quite shocked this came so close to getting a design, I don't know if it's easier for me to notice being away from the site for a while but I think the general standard of releases has slipped a little, though I guess it's needed in interests of regular updates and is by no means a criticism, just an observation.

Anyway, I hope I haven't come across too harsh, you have the coasters down gir and that's the hardest part, the rest really just takes a bit of practice and it'll all come together. In time hopefully we'll see more LL designs on the front page.
