absolutely beautiful. i love the whole composition of this screen. the colors are wonderful.

Yes, I'm loving the looks of that. I like the apple farm setting, makes it unique in a way your previous screens have been lacking. Still, I'd like to see you go bananas and just build stuff you don't usually build, move out of your comfort zone of lone stations with white deco trims surrounded by harshly manicured foliage. The last part you've partially done here.

IMO, this is your best work yet. You seem to be constantly topping yourself in this park, in terms of archy, theme, and atmosphere. It's incredible.

agree with you, that's just amazing theming...

The only thing I can advise on is the foliage. It just seems more like filler in this case. Not sure if this is just here, but other than that, the support work and the station are very nice!

It seems i'm on my own when I say that that red is absolutely vile.

Really nice theming, setting, landscaping, foliage, everything, except the coaster colour. It just is an eyesore to me.

In regards to Louis' comment, it may look better with a line of bushes around the front of the station/entrance stairway to cut down on the "red". Could be worth experimenting with.

^That wouldn't help the coaster colour, which is what i'm talking about.

I love everything in that screen. Just gorgeous.

My favorite part of that screen is the colors. That is so fresh and clean. Bravo

It's obviously beautiful, but I'd love to see you move away from your single colour scheme per park section habit.

^Agreed 100%.

change one of the reds. it's just too much.

about the apples, you must hand out WAAAAAAAAAY more than the park orchards can handly, surely.


edit: please can you change the crown moulding peices to "grey", they're too ghosty now

I love the Q-line orchid with apple samples ideas.

One thing, I don't know about changing the mowed grass to dirt/grass to go more according to the orchid idea along with the rest of the surroundings. I don't see too many orchids with barns etc. where mowed grass is too frequently seen. Just a thought..

Only thing I am missing is indeed some more colour variation.
Also the station looks a little weird that high up and just being a block with a roof, maybe add another piece of barn for the coaster to come out and have it come out of some big Barn doors like you have a pesticide plane comming out or so that'd make this a lot better I think.

Rest is ace though

Thanks everyone. It seems there is a general feeling that the colors and landscape is a bit off hoever the insperation for this area was spawned by this pic


As for some of the other comments, I'm going to take a day or so and take it all in and see if anything hits me to make a change. Thanks though as I do appreciate the feedback

I will say this about the general landscaping of the park. This is intended to be a brand new park and would not have a large amount of overgrowth at this point. That siadm I do plan to go pack and help that a bit towards the end of the construction.

Thanks again

James

That's very pleasant to look at

The colours on everything are fine. Just not the red on the coaster lol

^What color would you recomend then?

Well for starters, if you want to stick to the red, I would go for the darker or brighter red. Rather than this pastel one. Thats what the big problem IMO is.

Project Status #70 - 1/20/11

This past week has been a slow week for actual construction however plans continue to be developed and I'm confident that NWA will now be finished in Mid March and hopefully released on our about 4-2-11. The other good news this week is we have signed on a new guest builder to the NWA map! I'm really looking forward to seeing this persons work on NWA and will really add a level to quality that I wish I could create.

In other news, the parks 7th coaster is in the design stage and we are hopeful to take delivery soon as that is the final conerstone to the parks construction.

Finally, we hope to post an updated screenshot this weekend depending on the weather!
