I think you might have too many tree types going on right now. Seems a bit distracting. But I love the interaction of the coaster with the path, and the overall vibe this is giving.
There isn't much that's saying New Orleans in this beyond the red and white building, which is very well done. I'd consider maybe adding a couple more similar buildings to the side of that larger grey-roofed building in order to give it that more urban French Quarter feel; at the end of the day, New Orleans is a city, and an urban environment needs multiple buildings to define it. The touches of palm trees and oak really help, though I would consider throwing in some willows closer to the paths themselves.
I think it's definitely in a good starting point, and you've executed what's there very well, but it could definitely use some more built elements beyond path and foliage to further define the theme.
I love it. It's easily your best work yet. The screen has a great atmosphere, thanks to great foliage work and pathing. I love how the coaster dips into the foliage and goes under the bridge.
Would change the fences though, I think only removing the purple posts would be enough.
That turn under, then over the path that the coaster makes, is awesome. Generally very, very nice screen, but I agree that you may have a tree type or two too many, and that nothing about this really screams New Orleans, compared to some other recent work with the same theme. Still very nice, keep up the good work!
@BlazingEmpireHD: Percentage? What Percentage! Thanks for the compliments!
@saxman1089: You think? I din't really use that much more than in my last project. I'll keep it in mind though.
@Robbie92: Thanks for the tips! I really do want to keep an open atmosphere in this part of the park but you were right, it needed a few more structures. That's why I already added another building on the other side of the plaza, between the path and the coaster.
@FredD: Best work so far yet again? Thanks, great compliment! I'm not feeling the idea of getting rid of the pole fences as I do want to keep the purple touches here and there. Only those custom lights won't do IMO.
@Impulse: Honestly, I have no idea whose layout I went for in the end. The ones you and Blazing built both needed extra modifications in the end so....
@Mintliqueur: Thanks! Again the trees? Hmm, maybe I do need to look into that.

It is gorgeous, Jappy! That red extension bit from that yellow building is absolutely beautiful. Great work!
I better get my 2% share for that layout.

This applies to me too, coincidence?
I'm curious to find out which things you changed to the layout. The rest looks solid.

I made everything more smooth and fixed some things so it flowed better. (Like that swooping turn under the path).
In the end, I have no idea which layout he went with...so

Haha, I like the adjustments! Good job on those. Makes a very nice interaction.

Pleasant but needs way more structures I think.

I agree with alex, the area feels kind of empty. The wooden coaster needs more supports, too. I like the path pattern.

Yeah, not really getting much of a New Orleans vibe. Needs more humidity and booze.
