Very nice buidling. It has a great victorian feeling to it.

Keep it up!

thats a nice f*cking house. one of the best i have seen in rct2.

^ nice censorship.... what the hell is the point of that?

Anyway, looks pretty nice. I like the detail on every window and the overall look of the structure. Nice job.

surely you can do something more creative around that path than just trees.

and for that matter, i'm not a huge fan of the path encircling the entire building, i think it would do much better with a more formal style set of stairs acting as the queue and exit paths, if you know what i mean.

I really really love the building...but I think most of this park has a hard time convincing me of a "theme park feel." It just doesn't seem right having that Beamer going into the house...it just looks and feels off.

That house doesn't deserve to be penetrated by that steel beast.

What's the link you have between the name of the coaster, and the theme? (just curious). Because i'm still confused as to how 'Thunder Eagle' goes with a victorian feel. Anyway, the structure looks very nice, and although the chimneys look a bit strange, there's nothing really wrong with it.

...i hope you haven't finished the coaster supports yet though, i'm sure you haven't started them.

Like I said, I had alot of trouble coming up with a name, Im terrible at names, so if you have a better one, feel free to suggest it.

^ nice censorship.... what the hell is the point of that?

hmm... i thought no one will know what word that was...

:-D

r_e, I agree with the above in that the structure is strong enough by itself that it doesn't need to be tied to the coaster. It looks forced (not the building but the concept you were going for). Aside from that and the scale compared to the rest of the area, the comment above, this is some outstanding work. Reminds me of rwadams (and that is a very good thing)

The structure is incredible! Such creative use of the quarter tile windows and the poles! I'm not too thrilled that it's a station, it looks a little awkward with the tracks sticking out of the sides, but apart from that, it is a great exhibition of architecture.

I agree with RCTFAN, the building is absolutely wonderful but a bit unsuitable to house a station to the coaster.

Thanks for all the comments you guys. The general concensus seems to be that I shouldn't use this structure as a station, but I don't have anything else to use it as. It cannot be a hotel, the setting and location in the park map isn't right, and I'm not making it a "museum", and I can't think of anything else it could be. AND...if I take that B&M invert out of the park, there will not by ANY major attractions in this 1/3 of the park, and that is just not acceptable at all. So unless someone makes a good suggestion as to what else it could be, a station it stays. (and it has to be a suggestion that includes keeping a large coaster in this corner of the park)

Now for the UPDATE!

I've decided on the theme for the 3rd and final section of the park - Western! (one of my favs) The tentative title of the section is "Boot Hill", and the more definitive title of the first main attraction of the section is "Roughrider", a GCI wooden coaster:



...that SS is zoomed out 1 "notch", so it might be a little "grainy"...
...and here is an updated overall shot of the park:

I say just leave that building there with no reason....it's just a nice building.

In your latets screenshot, there's something a little unnatural about the Roughrider. I think that it's the staright path going though it that breaks it up too much, and maybe add a pond or something for additional effect. I really don't care for all the straight paths that I see in thwe far away shot, it makes the park a little square and mechanical (although the style worked well for main street)

Roughrider appears to have somehow nestled itself in the big rock candy mountains, surrounded by little gingerbread houses, as it were.

the first half i like, but post MCBR looks lazy. the whole thing's a little too straightforward to be a GCi, i think.

I suppose you could use that building as sort of a facade, and just connect a well hidden, plain building to the back of it, in which the coaster could enter. Then that would create an immense front to the ride, just a suggestion...

Really nice work mate. I like the overall look of the wooden coaster alot. The overview is also looking really nice. Keep up the amamzing work.

It looks like there are white "living flames" (neon rods) all over the buildings ^^
I'd reduce the white a bit...

I didnt even have to read what you typed and i knew it was a GCI. Good work with that imo. I thnik it looks great on the coaster companys terms.
