Why did I fail exactly?

Well I didn't say you failed, I am just saying that it is a very tough design. If the pacing on this coaster goes the way it should (nice and slow through elements) then you shouldn't have a problem. Look at Geewhzz's if you haven't yet.

I really like your take on the Spookslot in the Efteling. But the supports of the flying coaster...I don't know what to think of that... The buildings around it are looking good though!

Thanks all.




With my school I went to Italy for a week two months ago... I've seen a lot of things, and it gave inspiration. The third area will be "Bologna". Bologna will contain many covered walkways and medieval towers. There will be influences form other parts of North-Italy as well, but Bologna will be the most important one!

I didn't have too much time to work out the ideas, but there are a few things ready:



Bologna downtown



Villa Rotonda
Thereal one is designed by the famous architect Palladio, and can be found just outside the city of Vicenza.

I had missed this until today, so thanks for posting an update!

I love what I see, your architecture is fantastic. Love those fans on top of the buildings, nice touch there. And the orange is really working for you in those last screens!

Really cool what you've got here.
It's great, the only thing I don't like are those trees in the last screen
standing there on the bare grass, without anything underneath them.
Put some grass objekts or anything else there and it will look better imo.

Whoa those last screens are stunning! Wonderful architecture and the atmosphere definitely brings to mind Italy.

All of the 3 themes are just incredibly well performed. I love it Liampie!

the Villa look gorgeous, surroundings included.

great atmosphere, good job!

I'm glad you all like it, thanks!

Normally I would agree with you, but weed doesn't belong in a well-organised Renaissance garden.
This looks tidy.

Awesome to see some really architecture recreations! I always liked Palladio's stuff.

Anyway, a couple things--
Really nice design work on the first architecture screen.. I like the long colonnades-- reminds me of the Foundling Hospital in Florence a little bit. Is that the edge of the map in the back or just hidden? That'd be a little disappointing you couldn't finish off your structures, but I suppose the facades are what's important. Really looking forward to seeing some more of this.

I love food! I mean Italy!

I can't say anything different to what's already been said but I love this park, I'd love to see the finished product. Villa Rotunda is beautiful.

Thanks both.
And yes CP6, it's built on the edge of the map.

Bologna progresses well, England (York?) is expanding very slowly, but at least it is. Knossos was finished months ago. A fourth area is started in the near future, I'm just waiting for some objects by Cena to be finished.

The supports may look weird with the colours and such, but the greater image will look beter.

this is incredible...
i love it.
however the origional flyer wasnt incredible i sincerly hope its better now.
that vekoma invert looks godly.
brilliant archi and theming.
i
love
it

The Italy screen is amazing! Wonderful architecture. I like the paths you've used in these screens too.

wow, very good theme authenticity. both through ideas you incorporated, like the jousting show, and stylisations you've applied, like the window types, architectural shapes or wall colours in italy. at that, the park aspect isn't lost. good job!

The supports are really weird... Thanks for warning.

The rest looks good, especially Bologna.

whoa, those supports are really cool.
