Description
Been reading some Steinbeck lately. His descriptions of the Salinas Valley paint such colorful pictures in my mind. I've tried to take this color and apply it to my life, which I guess makes this park part of my life.
I know The Good Earth wasn't written by Steinbeck, and I know it's about old China, but I like the name so I'm using it anyways. Also this park won't feature the Salinas Valley but the principle is the same.
Top: Safari area features a crowded village, splash boats, virginia reel, and some swamp-water, perfect for breeding mosquitoes and malaria.
Bottom: Beersheba, a biblical town, features a Vekoma double-looper, two custom flats, and the perfect clash of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.
I am open to any and all feedback on the parkmaking, mostly on details; I think I've made my mind up on the general composition and layout.
Enjoy! - Full-Size

Really nice stuff, very lush and vibrant. I like it all except the flat woodie track roof.

definitely your best stuff but i do think your archy is your weakest area
shapes, forms are too conventional in my opinion, a lot of questionable fence choices (a lotta 2x2) and the flat roof track is not particularly pretty.
like at the bottom, if u didn't clarify the theme, i would've guessed it's just typical medieval LL.
pathing is also a bit weak (dont like the green tiles) but landscaping and colours are very pretty, plus the coaster looks very exciting

so warm and atmospheric, amazing. I only dislike the random short 2x2 with the brick walls and hedge maze in the far left. whats its purpose?
also, I love steinbeck. I just finished the grapes of wrath not so long ago

Maybe a bit overkill on the flat wooden coaster roofs. Can't say I love the coaster colors either, but man this is pretty great. Especially the custom flat.

Lovely work otherwise!

Lovely vibrant LL stuff, I always feel envious of people who can create this kind of atmosphere super easy.

This looks great, really nice stuff. Maybe a bit too much wooden coaster roofs tho.

Yay! Thanks everyone for the comments, they only serve to make me want to build more.
I'm getting the vibe that the wooden rooves are a bit overkill, so I'll probably thin them out a bit...but I don't want to delete them entirely. I think some of the other comments about the 2x2 building and green path in the bottom half of the screen make more sense outside the context of this crop, but I will still probably end up modifying that one on the left.
