Reporter:
How did you originally find yourself working for the company all the way back in the sixties?
Jones:
Well, y'know, I don't quite remember how it all started. I remember them Smith boys inheriting that plantation land near the Red back when I was still in high school. I wasn't smart enough to get into those colleges and get me a good education, but I smartened up and stuck around some of these rich fellow and see where their prospects landed them. They ended up using it for a park of some sort, and had gotten me a job straight out of the institution.
They went on a schooner in the summers up north and fished in New England. I heard tales of rough seas, monster fish, and beautiful atmospheres that only got better when summer waned into fall.
If only it was as simple today as it was back then
I feel that the batwing could probably be better positioned [it's also quite high up], the bridge seems to be on the less iconic side.
Supporting coasters in NCSO always seems really messy to me [it was one of my problems with Kidron Park], I'd considering getting rid of some more of the default supports if you haven't already.
I'm designing this park with economics in mind, emphasizing infrastructure and functionality of elements rather than making everything aesthetically beautiful and thematic. It's a sense of realistic grit that most parks lose that really gives me context and atmosphere.
I don't necessarily want to say things are intentionally being made cheaply, but I'll say it's more of a balance that it is going full-out and expensive on fully themed everything when the main focus of this park is the rides. I'm thinking as the designer of this, with budget in mind.
This is the absolute best and cleanest way to support coasters in NCSO, sadly.
Really nice work. I love what you've done with the supports. But yeah, knock down the whole thing like 10' to get the curves, batwing, and corkscrew lower.
Man everything here is just so fantastic! I didn't think your ncso could get any better than the last park when you announced that you were redoing it, and I'm really glad to say that I stand corrected!
tip: lower the ground under the supports and place a garden. zero clearance and raise the land back up. restore clearances. you can do this for all the extra in game supports you want to get rid of, as there are a few excess ones that clutter up the batwing and whatnot.
^if you select the entire tile rather than a corner you don't have to zero clearance the land up. It'll just raise the land and keep the flower bed submerged.

That's true. Though it looks like most of the land he's working on is slanted already.

It's crazy how you've all of that in like 6 hours.

Most of this is simple rebuilding and recomposing preexisting stuff into the new map. Year 40 and nearing 20%

the way you're using the regular supports is actually brilliant

I think it looks great!
