"Welcome to a grand valley of fun!"

This is my first ever park, I have screens so you don't riot.

This first screen is of the entrance.

Next, this screen is of the carousel.

I also have a screen of the Dodgems.

And an overview of XMTS.

So, what do you think? Sorry I'm in a bit of a hurry. Comments welcome good or bad!

Screen 1: Ehhh.... most out of place looking entrance ever seen. Don't know really what to say... just looks so out of place. It's not bad though... kinda... just... yeah... try something more traditional, not spacey.

Screen 2: Ehhh, it's a carousel... nothing great, but not bad or anything.

Screen 3: Maybe color the ground under the path to red or brown? Kind of a long line too for a bumper car ride.

Screen 4: No real need for three American flags and three sets of clocks...

Screen 5: XMTS looks promising... maybe do something else at the bottom of the custom supports (metal fence around them?). The turnaround is rather sharp and I'd recommend just having the coaster come out at the shallow degree and do a wide turn around ala Millennium Force kind of after the drop.

You cant use the steep to flat piece on the vert coaster at such high speeds. your g's are prob high

The 2nd lift hill on the coaster is a no-no. The muilti colored rooves a such are also a poor way of hiding the simple building forms.

The station actually shows promis though. Not much but some.

I suggest building on through this for a while tinkering with architecture, using differences in land height and theming (etc) then start over.

Just my best recomendation.

I wouldn't say the second lift is a no-no (see Shiekra), but in this case, yes.

not bad but too many screens.

Thank you all for your comments! I shall use them for today's update!

Shierkra has only one lift but 2 vertical drops. The 2nd is off the MCBR.

Ahhh... my bad, i guess the two vert drops threw me off into thinking that. Thanks for the correction.

sorry to say this but the big thunder mountian rail road at Disney land Paris has i believe 3 or 4...

anyway's the 2nd lifthill here looks like shit... the roofs are all the same.. lake of window's... sorry mate don't like it...

Yeah, BTM has 2 lift hills. So does Expedition Everest.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that no b&m....or any coaster that goes upside down has 2 lift hills. I tend to avoid double lift hills in these kinda coasters. In some cases, you can get away with it (mine trains, suspended swingers)

Metro

Lochness Monster has two lift hills, Metro. Not a B&M, but a coaster that goes upside down.

Well, definitely a start. You've certainly got a lot of room for improvement. I'd recommend trying to use more landscaping. Flat parks are yucky! I'd also try to invision your themes a bit more. Try to use more of the tools available to you and your parks should improve.

Well this car is automatic, it's systematic, it's hydromatic.
Why, it's greased lightnin'!

That's right yo! The newest coaster in the park is Greased Lightnin! Now let me remind you before I show the screens, it is NOT COMPLETE. But, it's so awesome, I have to show it anyway!
Now let's load up those screens!
Wait a minute, where are the screens?




Hmm.
Oh, here they are. IN VIDEO FORMAT! Yes, that's right! VIDEO! The show is timed to the song Greased Lightning! And it's just a click away. Download Link

Why would we wanna waste our time to download a video of a shuttle loop if that's what this coaster is, which, I have no doubt it isn't.

Look, you're a total fucking bitch, it's a hyper-coaster like Goliath. If you don't want to watch the video fine, then get the FUCK out of my topic untill you can come back and post something productive, you bitch.

lol, shut up.

you mean its not a shuttle loop?
