    Very nice, just 2 things I think could be better are the flowers, the area has a lot of color splashed around, but the flowers don't suggest that, try adding to them. Also I dislake the double Corkscrew, and in-game you go an invert coaster doing that too about 20x away, both do don't work for me, one must go at the leased.

    Pretty nice screen, and a pretty impressive park. :)

    Nice screen you have there. Its oozing with a great tropical atmosphere, from the foliage, the color, and the archy. The double corkscrew doesnt bother me. I can not wait to see this park (or the coaster for that matter). It is definity one of my most anticipated ones

    you should make the fences higher, peeps can jump them too easily.

    I think we don't see enough of this inversion succession enough -

    as with your inverted comment, I have no idea what you're on about...

    I'm not a fan of the foliage. The willows and the golden hinoki cypresses(?) make it seem more northern, not a place where you'd find tropics. I also think those hedge fences contribute to this. If I were you, I'd use more palm trees, and tropical trees.

    Everything else looks great, though.

    I don't know why Kumba dislakes the double corkscrew but I for one do because it isn't B&M. I do like the fact that there are only four cars per train because too many and there would be too much ejector airtime when the train goes vertical. I do think you should redo your supports, the bottoms make no structural sense and the corkscrews need more reinforcement.

    The double corkscrews are fine IMO. I think the queue line is quite boring though. And I agree with tracid on the foliage.
  • Kumba%s's Photo
    Yeah Phatage its coz B&M does not do that, and in the park he's got 2 B&M's that do that!

    He's gone mad and must be stopped :yup:
  • CedarPoint6%s's Photo
    Well, the surrounding area isn't bad. I'll have to say I don't like the corkscrew either for the same reasons as Phatage. I'm one of those people that likes coasters realistic, so I don't really think the double corkscrews fit... if you could spread them out a little bit you could do something like on Silver Bullet... maybe give that a try. But it doesn't look to bad... and an interesting theme idea as well makes it nice.

    Not one of your better screens X, but great nonetheless.

    I'm just having trouble with your landscaping. It's really jagged and not flowing. If the jagged odd landscaping is what you're going for, then leave it.
    Good job all around.

    I think the queue line needs work, it looks plain and boring. Why dont you add more foilage and maybe a brighter "queue" line. Also, in the foilage you already have thier, I think it needs some tropical trees like palm trees. Thats all I find not up to standards but keep at it.
  • laz0rz%s's Photo
    Unlike everyone else, I thinks this looks wonderful.

    The peaceful look really adds a different dimension to the screen, and those coaster colors contrast perfectly. I also loved how you snaked the queue line in on itself and added the mud walls. The use of landscaping and foliage is marvelous too.

    I only have one problem with this screen. That one light looks like it's on top of the trees. Putting those lights on th other side of the lining trees would do wonders for the whole screen.

    Thanks for all the comments so far, about the double corkscrew... Well, my home park Drayton Manor (within 5mins) has Shockwave, which has a right pair of Double-Corkscrews. Gives off a great sensation, so i thought they would be good on a B&M for a change. :p

    Besides, its a prototype coaster, meaning that B&M are trying new things.

    As for the invert Kumba mentioned, i took Silver Bullet to be a role-model for the coaster.

    Cheers for the comments, they is very useful so far. I know its not one of the better screens of the park, but hey, if i went around showing the best bits- there would not be much of a surprise?

    ps:- Thanks to Corkscrewed who encouraged me to change the area from 'Kingdom Of Fruits' to 'Bays Of Tropica', that could have been embarassing... :p

    -X-

    I just went on Silver Bullet yesterday. Great ride, although the inversions are so close together that it's dizzying.

    Great coaster for inspiration though.
  • Richie%s's Photo
    Oh please please change the coaster name.. tropica is horrible :'(

    The queue line is really boring, break up that middle bit, so its a little shorter.

    and send me the park.. ;)

    New? Coasters have had double corkscrews since the 70's :rolleyes:

    He meant B&M trying it for the first time on their coasters

    ^Exactly.

    And why would B&M try not 1, not 2, but 3 new things on a coaster? (verticle drop, double cork, mysterious "spyitfyre") it's a little too much. ???
