I've never seen Mine Train carts used as a car ride before, but it looks great - a lovely alteration to the defaults. Good use of the track scenery objects too, and a clever way of creating the fake tracks. My only quibble, and this goes for the other screens too, is that the roofs look too neatly checkered and this reminds me of a racecourse. I don't think they're particularly pirate-like.
It's actually a small train that guest can move forward in a bicycle-way. The real track used for this ride is the same as the tracks for the car-ride. Through hacking I made the real track invisible and used the train track foot path instead. That's why I only used the small turns because I can't use the footpath for wider turns.
I don't think it came with WW/TT Inthemanual, I have this ride for a long time and I think I have downloaded it somewhere, although I can't say where I got it...
Well Chocotopian, I got those rooves when I downloaded the Pirate Bay waterpark. Do you think that they look better if I keep them in one color ?
Not necessarily one colour, but I think the way they are now makes them look too formulaic. If the actual tiles on the roof are two colours, try inverting some of them, so instead of white and red they becomes red and white. If the white is a fixed colour for the object, then maybe try adding some off colours (using the deep red occasionally with the normal red ones, and other browns) - although I'm not sure how this will look. Failing that, I believe there is another version of these roofs which contains more browns instead of white, which might change things.
As said though, it is only a minor thing, and the ride itself is looking great!

If it's a footpath, then no, it's not WW/TT. It looks a lot like the mine train scenery pieces from one of the expansions.
