The ghost train isn't too scary looking. Maybe you should add some more higher balconies with ghost train interaction, and user darker colours.

The second screen doesn't do much for me, I actually find those coaster colours to be quite repulsive.

I don't really like the roof of that gohst train, it looks very odd to me, and like lloyd also said try to make the house a bit darker .

the seccond screens looks pretty nice altough it could use some more ground foilage.

Well its not supposed to be scary. More like a tour through the building. I wasnt going for scary and i dont have a name for it yet. Thanks for the comments though.

not much to say, but the foliage outside the ghost train isn't the best I've ever seen... I'd take out the ornamental trees, and replace them with another short tree. The coaster looks good.

Ooo, nice hack. And I actually do like the coaster colors, but not the wooden supports. And you have to do something about that ghost train roof. Oh and change the land color under you paths.

I'm not thrilled...the ghost train building is so dull....and the coaster colors are hideous...and why is the steel-twist the same color as the corkscrew?

Maybe you should try reading the post instead of just quickly looking at the pictures.

Here is the Arrow looper i promised turtle. Its not the looper everyone is probably thinking of though. I got the idea of the coaster from Dollywoods, Tennessee Tornado. This is a basic walk through area of the park to fit right to its themeing.

^Thanks Ryan.
As for the comments.

Yeah i know, not too good with foliage and yes i took out the ornamental trees and placed another style of bush. However, i feel that the area came out nice (cant see it all in the screen though).

Thanks about the hack and colors. However, even though they look like wooden supports, i want it to be steel supports painted brown... even though you cant tell (lol). And as the ghost train building. I like it my self. I thought the style was different and was big for a ghost train which was what i was aiming for. I know its not too great but i thought it would be good for what i wanted. Thanks though.

Okay, for one, read the post. Two, i would like some help and reasons on what would help make the ghost train look better and some ideas on the colors. And three... how in the world can you not tell that that was a hack for the coaster... Oh well, makes me look good.

...thanks for the comments...(park is 85% done)

you got a real reliance on inversions there... But here it comes across as stylistic, so you get brownie points for that.

I concur. Your style has progressed nicely. Don't quit.

^Thanks alot you two.

Sorry guys, i have writters block right now with my park. I dont know what final coaster i want to put in and such. Im trying, im trying... but yet, nothings working for me...

Hey, there's no reason to rush it... besides, you shouldn't try too hard, you might hurt yourself ...

Work on something else for a little bit if you need to, it's not like it has to be in at a certain time...

^Yeah, i know. Thanks for caring. Im not rushing but when i have a park going, i dont stop until it is done.

I'm really sorry about my last post....now that I read it again, it seems really mean!

for the ghost train building....I don't think I see any quarter tile blocks in the screenshot. The queue line is good, the way it is themed before it enters the building. The building itself could use more details, maybe remove the plain vines on the walls, replacing them with windows or different textures. I actually think it's the roof that makes it look overly huge....I think a flat roof could work well. Finally, the brick texture for the walls looks dull. Parhaps add one or two more textures to the exterior. That screenshot also lacks any large foliage....trees might minimize visually the largeness of the building.

Final update everyone. Thanks for all the comments and support from you all.

All the pictures of the coasters in the park... hope you enjoy what i did with there look.










...Thanks...

no complaints, except that first pic's building looks odd... maybe too tan; also (and I know it won't looks that way in the game) the waterfall is hurting my eyes

Awesome. Completing a solo is a massive achievement. It'll be cool to see how this all comes together.

Photo editing - bad. Unless it's for cropping, or blurring, don't bother. Focus on making it look good in-game.

Looks like a very 'old-school' park. Might be interesting. Nice job with the dive machine's supports.

Congrats on finishing the park man. Looks like it'll be really fun to take a look at in-game.

^Thanks alot guys..... as for "Project Oasis", you can put it in the books.
