The lotr rocks dominate the screen and the rock archway is a tad too perfect, but I really love the mineshaft(?) cutting into the side and the curve of the water ride over the waterfall. Really beautiful to look at, and probably even more so were it to exist in real life
On a technical and realistic level, it's very nicely done! On an aesthetic level... quite boring actually. I think it could use a lot more foliage to break up the LOTR rocks. Also, the building looks a bit plain to me. But this has potential to become brilliant, so keep working on it!
The archway and drop is going to be redone. Kinda my first draft attempt at it. Was kinda inspired by Valhalla at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Really fun to work on though.
Too much of that object. Otherwise nice and tasteful.
Like others have said, a little overkill on the LOTR rocks, but in general very nice. Foliage works well and the waterfall's beautiful!
Too much LOTR, not enough natural landscaping and 1k ruins or different colours (try adding some of the darker brown for certain landscaping blocks).
Very nice waterfall
I'd say keep all the rocks- they make the natural beauty of it work- the harmony of them makes it an effective single geographical feature with something real and something just enough that it's a ride area, almost just right.
However agreed add some more foliage that's a good match to break it up, perhaps some compatible other rocks or similar - if they work and don't ruin it - including to hide any repetitions in the rocks that are too obvious such as the three at the back of the tunnel (corner by building above waterfall).
Keep some of the repeated shapes uncovered as they are now though- some of them work really well together such as those in line with the steel coaster which I'd keep the same as it looks great around there as it is without adding/ changing anything.
There is some stand-out flatness on the side of the bridge, not a major issue though.
Agree the building needs something to match the beauty around it although maybe not much as it works well as a dark ride building. Wall colours blend nicely with the rocks. The high left hand wall does stand out a bit though.
Overall I really enjoy the look of this and it is very well landscaped, especially so between the waterfall and bridge. The subtle canopies are a great touch too.
beautiful
Give the mine shaft roofs a gray color so they pop more against the brown rock.
too many 10k ruins
The transition between the LOTR rocks and ground texture looks quite awful tbh. Particularly near the archway.
Good point chorkiel- they could blend better into the ground surface and ground edges - notice this most by the bridge.
