Thanks everyone! We will take your suggestions in consideration! It is rather slow going right now since both Todd Lee and myself are very busy with RL and such....But this park will get finished eventually! We are well on the way.
Now if we only could find our dear photographer back...........lol.

I really dislike that path used in this screen, but everything else is top notch. I deffinitely like the guid-rails in the splash down section, and the supporting is pretty good. This project has been going for quite a while and I have not lost any interest yet, so keep it up. -

Well, Island investigators have uncovered what they believe to be a very significant clue as to where Albert is, or was recently!
It's a photo of a previously unseen area of the island...
I think we may be getting close to solving a mystery..Edited by Todd Lee, 19 September 2006 - 04:15 PM.

Looks pretty interesting. It shows a pleasant and vivacious atmosphere. I still don't like THAT much the foliage, but I guess that it is better than the foliage on some previows screens. Looking forward to more updates, keep going. -

I like it. The colors seem to work well together. Although those flowers (?) seem to be a little too linear. It doesn't look very natural IMO. If you were going for an unnatural look, then you did a good job, though. -

Pretty good. I like the coaster's interaction with the building and there is some nice detail. It's a little too tan though. Maybe add another accent color for the windows or something. -

It looks damn good, perhaps, I'm not sure about the number of hotels in your park. lol -

Its nice and all but the colors are a bit boring. Nothing really stands out and grabs me. Not one of the better screens you have shown...

Wow! That station looks great! Whatever those little brown and gray things are mixed among the gardens don't even seem to fit in with the game (a little unreal looking). But those fountains are great! I love the spirals! -

It looks really nice. I'd also like to ask where two updates came from so quickly when the update before them came almost 20 days ago! Looks like your moving along a little faster.Edited by Gwazi, 04 October 2006 - 02:03 PM.

Looks really nice...
I like the columns you used for the station, and I see a pleasant atmposphere. Sorry for the short comment, but I'm very hurried and I want to leave a comment here. Keep going with this park, I'm looking forward to more updates. -

tis i agree with the rocks in the garden, they take away from it through their unrealism. Id like to see a little more color, maybe some light yellow?
other then that, very nice.
oh, and maybe a little more detail on the walkways underneath the coaster... IM SRRY im picky -

Another nice screen Lee. Enjoying this park for the most part. What is the size and how much are you done with the park?

O.K., to answer a few questions..
OLE - One thing that will quickly be noticed in this park, every coaster has great interaction with the surrounding buildings and landscape. This is something we've worked really hard at. It should also be mentioned (and this isn't directed specifically at anybody), that although this park is rather old, it doesn't lack any quality at all. It has more of an 'old school' feel to it, due to a pretty severe lack of custom 1/4 tile stuff.
Thanks for the comments OLE!
Lucas92 - Thanks, and there are quite a few hotels/bungalows/etc.. on the island. If there weren't, everybody would have to sleep in the coaster stations and shops and stalls. haha
JDP - I can understand why you think this screen is lacking somewhere. Having seen the entire area, this is actually one of my favorite screens. I just wish this thing were done so everyone could see the island in all its glory! Thanks for the comments, your input has been helpful along the way!
Akasha - Adding a twisting element now would screw up the whole thing, I'd have to add more height to the top hat to get the twist to go 360 degrees. I'll see what can be managed, so maybe I'll surprise you. Thanks for the input.
Genius - Glad you like the station, believe it or not, it's one of the very first things I built on the island. (back before it was a T & M park) When Mama came onboard, she suggested a few things to improve it, and they did. One of which was the round pillars holding the station up. I originally had steel pipe holding it up. It looks better now than it did. And, those are rocks in the gardens. If I remember correctly, Mama created them not long after custom objects were born. In this particular case, Mama has used them brilliantly. They really add to the Oriental feeling of the area. You'll be seeing another screen of them shortly.
Gwazi - Our pace hasn't changed. I've just felt like updating a bit more this week. These screens were taken months ago.
RCFan - Thanks for the encouragement!
Sexy Overload - You're not picky, don't sweat it.
Tom DJ - Thanks
JDP - Thanks, the park is somewhere between 150 - 180 (I think) And roughly 75% complete.

Looks good, I like the atmosphere...
The building is too white for my taste...if I were you, I'd paint the windows dull red, and I don't like too much the fences you used on the roof. Also, those domes don't fit very well IMO. And a last suggesion: add some more trees.
Anyway, the coaster layout looks interesting, I'll wait until you show some more pics of the coaster. You're doing a nice job, keep going with this park man. BTW...I'm glad that it's 75% complete
