Description
Another part of the park. Still feel I'm missing out on a lot of ways to make the process easier and more refined but having fun trying things. This area is in the corner of the park and transitions I suppose from a more forested hillside into a more mine-esque area.

I like how the rusty objects blend into the landscape. Within that aesthetic, I'd say the grey building and the one with the yellow roofs are very dissonant. Less is more! Figure out a style that works, and stick to it.
Some small notes:
- Give your intamin mega coaster dark red rails to go with the medium red track - the result will look prettier. Note that the rails look too light regardless of what colour you pick, so I advise always picking a darker shade for the rails. Yellow track? Gold rails. Grey track? Black rails.
- The powered mine coaster is... powered. It doesn't need a big hill at the start, in fact, it only hurts the pacing. Powered coasters work better if they start low, building speed along the way.
I also think the grey/brown building sticks out quite poorly. The rusted walls and roofs fit nicely though.
I think it would look better if you changed out the power coaster with a real mine train coaster. The theming could be a bit more detail, comes off a bit sloppy. I agree with the points Liam mentioned as well.
rusty objects is cool
I don't disagree that maybe a regular mine train would look better in this instance but I'm inclined to stick with powered, mainly because I'm enjoying playing the game again and planning on comparing parts of the park such as this to parts I complete further down the line with more practice. I should add in response to Liampie as well that the powered train does two loops so the lifthill at the start isn't the momentum killer it otherwise would be.
I agree on the grey building I may scrap that in future and try something else, but thank you for your comment, I'm in half a mind to start new with a smaller plot and more experience but kind of enjoy the progress on this one and hope to release it before I'm busier again
