I like everything here, minus the coaster supports.. they look pretty bad, sorry!! I'd re-do them. The plaza on the bottom left is pretty nice, seems very Disney to me.
Sort of agree with otter here. They're a little sloppy perhaps, also paint the flanges the same orange as the normal supports, not grey!
Looks very promising again though, this is a super interesting project.
I will see what I can do, but BM supports do not align well with the thinner launched LIM track
I like it, but I couldn't imagine a giant un-themed coaster at a Disney's Animal Kingdom pa...
... oh
I think the main issue with the supporting is that it's a little all over the place.
Key offenses:
- 90 degree bend to the left side near the water; it doesn't make a lot of sense structurally (and doesn't look all that nice)
- Missing footers in places; maybe a bit nitpicky but I do think that it looks more visually appealing and substantive (as well as accurate to life) with footers under all/most of the beams.
In general, I think this is nice. Throw in some benches and lamps for some atmosphere and you've got a solid start. It's a shame this part of the coaster is a bit hidden from the guest perspective.
I think this steps into Busch Gardens realm given that the coaster is so unthemed. I'm not opposed to giant coasters in Disney parks like some purists, but I'm curious to see how you've integrated this into the park to make it not feel totally out of place.
Even the giant coasters in old Disney LL seemed to have some integration and believability (and I wish more would go for that than just copy/pasta Disneylands).
To add to some of the support talk, I'd say make the flanges match the support beam color rather than being grey. Either make them match, or go full Kumali with the painted supports.
Kind of getting Highball vibes from the lower half of the screen which is good.
thanks for the feedback. I am reevaluating the supports.
nin is absolutely correct that I wanted to take DAK and add some of the thrill elements of Busch Gardens. There are 4 new large coasters in this park, so will take a second pass at integrating them better.
