  And honestly, the support is an eyesore. It really ruins the vista on the turnaround. Any proposals how to do it better?

  The flying snake dive is by far the best element on any coaster I've ridden. As for the screen it looks good. Stormrunner I huge but it look pretty good. Can't wait to see more of this.

  I'm not an expert on supports, but I've always liked the supports that have two sloped pipes to support the vertical pipe rather than one, in an L-shape. Like here although it's not a good example. Works best on tall supports like this one.

  Oh man, great element, great flow. Landscaping looks promising too, you've got something on your hand with this!

  Thanks Fred. I'm going for a very mountaneous park so I can train my landscaping skills. I'm a bit worried that I might have gone overboard with it though, most realistic parks don't span such a big difference in altitude, especially the path system. Essentially the entire park spreads over a big slope and I was aiming for an at least semi-realistic park.

  I think there are a couple of ways you could improve the landscaping. To start with there are too many diamond shape pieces of land which make things look unnatural. I would mix more flat slope pieces in. Secondly I think you could add more cliffs. Right now the land is like stepped pyramids, try and introduce more variation to the height of the vertical edges. I've done a quick drawing which may or may not make things clearer -

  Thanks for the advice, Alex. I considered throwing in a few land blocks as well, but I'm not sure to what extent I should do this (considering the size of the park). It would probably look inconsistent if I'd only use them at certain spots.

  I think it would be wise to become competent in working with the original landscaping first, before trying to build with additional land blocks.

  I've used them already to create a cave entrance for the exit path of the wooden coaster. I'm just a bit concerned with the fact that I cannot think of any good examples of combined landscaping in large scale parks, at least at the top of my head. Feel free to give me some recommendations though.
