Description
A vertical drop coaster that has been designed to imitate lightning. Riders feel the anticipation, waiting in the heavy, dark clouds. In the blink of an eye (at 'lightning-ish' speed) they're shot directly into the ground, being brought up into the cloud for a second strike! It's an insane rush, not intended for weak stomachs!
I'm looking for suggestions for the rest of the landscaping. I could leave it as is, but if I do add I don't want to use much foliage given the rockiness of the ride's surroundings, but I might use some 1K Ruins. Also, how do you think I should have supports for the rest of the ride or leave it as is? -

I enjoy the landscaping honestly. The boardwalk path needs to go. Love the concept and execution, you nailed it. You're going places with ideas like this.
thats a great concept wow
I think the landscape is a biiiit to jacked, it's a good look but maybe overcooked.
But yea, amazing concept. Lightning is a really cool force of nature.
I 100% agree with the comments above.
Maybe you can add some decorational 'branches' to the track to make it look more like lightning. Matches the intimidating look of the cloud better.
@fizz - I was kind of using the boardwalk path for this whole section, but I've had others hint about it in other screens that its not the best choice. So maybe I should replace it, I guess there is a preconceived use for it that I'm oblivious to, I just thought its underused and would be a cool one to take advantage of in my park.
@coup - Never in a million years did I think I get a 'compliment' from you, did know you had it in you. Another thing I can add to my bucket list and cross off at the same time.
@austin - I didn't think I over did it with the landscaping, sometimes less is more, sometimes it's not
@liam - Any suggestion for this, just adding in some objects off of the track itself, or maybe if I added supports, I could make them partially yellow on the top, black on the bottom (others may say that's the worst idea in history!)
There's a reason the boardwalk path is often underused except in specific circumstances
I would just add in actual lightning bolts underneath the clouds to be honest. The track is fine there but additional lightning bolts made out of scenery or track would help I think.
Right now, whilst I understand where people are coming from in regards to the idea, it looks like a massive black blob with bright yellow track underneath to me at the moment. There's just not enough connecting the two things at the moment in my opinion.
I don't want to add more bolts into the ride, it would look too cluttered, especially since lightning doesn't come out of one cloud six at a time. But I'll see about make the current track look a little more "lightning-like". Zoomed out, imo it looks like a rollercoaster that is imitating a cloud with lightning bolts.
