your landscaping is simply terrible, including foliage.
look to real life, even if your park is fantasy.
nowhere will you see landcapes like that.
id like you to show me where if there is. -

Smooth that landscaping out a bit. it should look pretty good if you do.
Don't use a checkerboard style for land coloring either, make patches of different land types.
I quite like the foliage though, very clean, an the coaster and log flume seem good as well. -

The Badlands... -

It doesn't really look like the Badlands to me, it looks like chaos. Landscaping takes practice, but just throwing jaggies everywhere does not make something mountainous. -

your right, but I can't put that much trees there, so for fillers, I either have to use jagged landscape, or bare land with a few cactuses and shrubs. And for the mune train, I have no rock scenery, so it basically is supposed to look canyon like and be filled with steep hills and rocks, like big thunder mountain railroad. -

reminds me of every old LL park with ugly jagged raised land, randomly colored land tiles, and odd foliage thrown where-the-fuck-ever -

^ Instead of making stupid reactions first, you could have thinked about it.
This is the dump-place, where people show unfinished screens. That is why this isn't finished so that includes the transfer is not correct yet. It is just an idea.
About Jusmith his screen, I think it is too crammed , make it bigger etc. Supporting this will be a hell
lulz... maybe practice what you preach? Think (or, just see the red line underneath a word and spell check) before posting.
Anyway, layout really is a mess, I don't see that being pulled off in the end even by someone like Gee. -

Here's a teaser. Expect full advertisement soon...
"Conquer El Gigante the world's tallest and fastest wooden coaster only at Innis Gardens"
"Innis Gardens: Beautiful Landscapes, Horrific Thrills." -

uhm, ...high!
turbin, i think unless you see what it'll look like later you can't really say it's ugly. i think the height could work.
looking forward to what you're coming up with, inversed. and i also like the slogan of the park. -

The supporting looks too weak to keep up the coaster at that height. I would make it wider at the bottom. Anyways, looking forward to more. -

inVersed, unless it's an Intamin woodie, don't post it!
Either then that I'm looking forward to the project

this may sound wacky, but you should actually give that wooden coaster steel supports, so it will be easier to view other areas, and looks less complex and cluttered for a wooden coaster that big. -

Admittedly the coaster is fairly imposing in the back right corner of the park but in 2001, park execs decided it was necessary to invest in a truly ground breaking wooden coaster considering the parks last two major coasters Stuntman, a B&M stand-up, and Flipside, a Vekoma SLC, were not as popular as they had anticipated. Ridership is very high for Gigante, since its debut in 2001 it consistantly rakes in about 1.5 million guest per year making it the parks 3rd most popular coaster behind Intruder, a Intamin giga coaster, and Operation: Quantum, a Intamin accelerator coaster.

Turbin, when the coaster was constructed park planners and CEOs did not think about building a coaster that was appealing to the eye. They wanted a coaster to bring up the parks stagnant attendance. Mind you at a park like Innis Gardens with its mere 11 coasters must strive to keep up with similar "coaster" parks like SFMM, CP, and SFGAdv by preaching quality of thrills over quantity. (With this said, from an RCT perspective, I did try to make the coaster as aesthetically pleasing as a wooden hyper coaster can be).
LDW, El Gigante's supports were based off of the ones on Son of Beast and some parts of Mean Streak. On portions of these coaster, I noticed they were not particularly thick at the bottom but still seemed heavily reinforced
Jaguarkid, I don't think the coaster will really impede view of the park since it is placed in the back corner. Over all the layout it not very complex either so don't worry about that. Plus steel supports (unless your talking about hybrid steel supports would be very unrealistic)
JPD & Posix, thanks for the comments! -

Ridiculously high... but I've seen your previous work, you could probably pull it off in the end. -

I know I build big items, but this is a bit over the top, even for me!
That said, I'll reserve judgement until I see the finished product -
Comet Offline
If I counted correctly it's still shorter than Son of Beast, and it's only around 10 feet higher than El Toro.
Definitely not unreasonable.
