Like the other screen this is very nice but I think if you made the rapids track invisible it would look a lot cleaner. I'm not sure how I feel about the theming around the Scrambler but I do appreciate the fact that you're trying to introduce some much needed color.
I'm nit-picking a bit though, this is very good and I can't wait to see more from you.
I love the colors of the waterride! the landscaping and foliage is neat. am not so sure about the yellow and blue poles on the ride on the right tough.
The rockwork is really impressive. It's a good mix of newer, smaller objects without feeling too overwhelming.
@coasterbill - I'm not 100% sure how to make the track invisible. I tried the basic way to do it with 8cars, but it shuts RCT2 down. I'm sure there are 10 posts about how to do it, I just never looked for it.
@thirteen - would you just change the pole color or do something different with the ride altogether?
The poles are cool, just keep them to more organic colors.
The easiest way to make it invisible is to just change the track type to Crooked House although right now I believe (someone correct me if I'm wrong) the track is too low to do that so you would need to raise it 2 units (or one level if you do it manually instead of with map object manipulation. Once you do that you can't double close the ride though as the rapids will just pile on top of each other in the station.
That being said... I'm a dumbass when it comes to hacking so someone else may be more help.
Rapids station looks like a bit of a headchopper. I'd also maybe consider using stone in some of the paths. I like the idea of the bare grass/dirt queues, but some stepping stones or something I think would clean it up a bit more. It just feels funny to see it on the queue line as opposed to an open area with picnic benches.
You should be able to make the rapids track invisible by going to Edit Ride and changing the track to crooked house mode. You'll need to add fake lifts and waterfalls back in (lifts are probably better off being a hairline coaster track).
^That'll lower the cars into the water though. You'd have to rebuild the track at a higher clearance, or use a different trick.
The only way I'd make an adjustment right now to make the track disappear is if it was a simple fix. Otherwise I'd probably leave this one 'as is' for now and learn the hack for a future park.
