Still lovin it! The schwartzkopf is such a classic, and very nicely done. The only thing I don't know if I like much, is the double tower on the skyride (chairlift). Is there any way you could do without the elevation change there?

It's not as good as some of the other updates, but it still has that classy feel about it. And I like the double tower thing, I thought it looked cool.

Todd – Not that I know if. I would love to just have a tower every 15 or so tiles just to keep the realistic look of the attraction. The only other way was to have it turn which I didn’t want either. I have an idea though that I may try out.

Oh yeah, I see that now. Well I'm not in faor of it. It takes away from the realism....

Still looking really classy, especially the cable cars. My only problem with this park though is that the whole thing seems too open. No park is like that. I would suggest some more crowded areas with some little details (games, sovenir carts, food stands, advertisements). They might help the park seem more lively. On a whole though, this is magnificent and I'm deffinitely looking forward to seeing this in-game.

It seems very empty to me. Granted, I love it and it's so elegant, but I think of New Orleans like being cramped/crowded/detailed?

Check your pm RCTNW.

Too wide open, but I still love it. And Genius, you're name is the ultimate irony...it's called theming.

I'm aware that it's theming....but sand over a wide area like that is not common in Amusement Parks....did I deserve that dis?

^ It may not be common at most parks but it was common for this particular ride at Marriotts Great America in Santa Clara. Since this park is inspired by the real park, it does fit this particular attraction.

zburns999, eman & Steve - Let me see what I can do for this area.

Thanks everyone.

No doubt one of my most favorite parks out right now. I damn well love every screen you have shown. All are so classy and elegant. This is one of those parks that i open up (when playing rct2) and never delete because everytime i look at the park i will always enjoy it. Wow... i just really really like everything about the park.

How that coasters support goes over the steam railway is wonderful, i don't know why. Great work!

well it looks like the natural ground was sand in the first place.
so since they just built the coaster on it. there's sand.
around the flatride, they adjusted the land completely, with flowers and stuff, so the sand is gone.

in fact, i think the sand adds realism.

oh and that screen is very wonderful, of course

Looks great! I persoanlly like the realistic feel I get frm the sandand the simple landscaping of the park to make it look like an actual small park.

JDP - Thanks for the nice words and I'm glad you liked it.

Metro - I got lucky with that one. It just sort of worked out that way. I wish I could say that I calculated the distance and had all these magnificent plans for that but to be hoest, it just happend

posix - Thanks and yes, the sand is staying

Grand Admiral - It's funny you should mention that it's a small park because when it opens it will be sorta small with planey of land to expand the park down the road.

Thanks everyone.

Next update will be in 2007!

I'm assuming Orleans Orbit is the name of the Enterprise, right? How about the 2 buildings in that screen, are they restaurants with names or anything? Everything looks wonderful, BTW, I like how you don't feel the need to fill every square of grass with a bush or plant.

^ Yes it is and yes they are but not yet. Thanks

Update

Below is the MMW Entrance Plaza Monorail Station.




Thanks again for all the feedback

that looks very nice... although the yellow and white flowers don't look all that great there, IMO. And nice use of plain grass; the way you did it doesn't make it look like laziness. Great job.

thats beautiful... great work james.

That monorail station is the shit...

Love it.
