Description
Haunted Harbour, formerly known as Whitby Sands, is an amusement park situated in the North Yorkshire coastal town of Whitby. Haunted Harbour is home to “Woodpecker”, a wooden roller coaster by American coaster designers Frank Prior and Frederick Church that has stood since 1925 and is the only one of it’s kind to still exist outside of the States since the demolition of “The Bobs” at Manchester’s Belle Vue in 1970.
Nearly the same age as Woodpecker, and tucked underneath it’s lift hill (due to limited space available on the promenade at the time) is the ghost train ride “Castle Dracula” which opened in 1930. - Full-Size

Another epic Alex screen! Love the composition, archy, layering of details. I almost missed the carrousel on the left, but damn that looks perfect. Only miniscule nitpicks I could find where the above mentioned rocks and the ´tear´-shaped pattern on the path in front of the bridge. That doesn't make sense to me from this angle, but maybe it fits when the screen is rotated. I was also wondering if the moon-shaped bar/foodstand is a recreation from a real-world stand? If not, I'd consider making the backside a straight diagonal. I think that would make more sense from a realism perspective. Now please excuse me while I'm going to mob up all the drewl I've spilled over this screen.

Love this, Alex. I want to point out some things that I especially love: the rocks with algae, the blue metal frameworks and lamps, the carousel and the coaster supports. I agree with Jene about the rockwork and the tear pattern in the path. Somehow that doesn't work.

Dude you must be playing this game on a strict schedule of at least 2-4 hours per day, every day of the week or something. Your command of every aspect of this hobby is impressive. Gorgeous screen. I also think the rock face could be improved as others have pointed out but that's it. The entire area oozes atmosphere. Bravo.

I like the crescent shape motif that creeps in. Haunted Harbor does kind of have a "dark Luna" vibe so if that was the intention or just a happy accident, it works well.
