Very nice to see Hawthorne Heights on Ne . When I saw it on RCT-World I liked it and I like it more and more now. The Coaster Layouts look very nice. The best themed area is the mainstreet in my opinion.
I hope to see more of this amazing park .

Mainstreet is my favorite. I like how you used wooden coaster track as themeing to surround the island with the ferris wheel. Very creative!

i think mainstreet is WAY to detailed.
but everything else looks nice.

Shouldn't this have a dark theme, with the guests slitting their wrists and blacking out their eyes? And be based in Ohio? And one of the main people in your park die?



Anywho... looks pretty nice. Like the ferris wheel and the jr coaster the most. Never liked the entrance for your oriental land though.

i think mainstreet is WAY to detailed.

I will disagree with this. It's not too detailed at all. It's nice to see a park where there isn't too much going on. It's simple and clean but beautiful and intriguing.

Screen 1 - I would make those roofs all the same color and the "Welcome" signs and surrounding gardens just look like they are in the way.

Screen 2 & 3 - To me, it looks like the railing around the trees and gardens look too tall. It looks like they are 10 feet off the ground and quite ugly. A simple rail along the ground would do just fine.

Screen 4 - Not too crazy about a hot pink coaster, and that turn going under and through the supports looks dangerously close to the supports like the peeps will hit their heads.

Screen 5 - Two of the supports are not lining up correctly.

Screen 8 - It's a nice mini-coaster, but kind of a boring layout. Make it sprawl out a bit, interact around the paths so peeps can get a better look at it.

Screen 9 - Sand path.... YUCK!

Thanks for your replies!
I will look what I can do.

Here is a new screen, the first of "Alpinia":




Hope you like it!
PS: Unfinished.

i adore them legs.
i love your architecture.

I like the look of the brick holding up the path above the water, IF it was a different path. Typically, wood will be held up by wood supports. And right behind the french fries stand the stairs are two different path types. Just make it the same path for both. And I think all of us could tell this is unfinished, which is why it's a pet peeve of mine to see blacked out areas of a screenshot. Just show it as is.

Thanks for your two comments.

@Mike Robbins: I think the wooden path fit there well.And it´s a mistake of mine that there are two different textures at the stairs. Should be one.


Expect something new in the next days.

This looks great, DelLagos!

Maybe put some trees under the coaster and around it? Looks good though.

That last screen looks fantastic!

Thanks for your comments!

@Alpengeistfan1: It´s unfinished.

Ah. Well, if you are thinking of putting trees around it, I think you should. I think it would look great.

The ferris wheel looks so sweet on it's little island!

Yeah, here is something new for you!
I´m working on the supports of my woodie at the moment.It´s my first work on supports for a wooden coaster.

Here is a pic:





I hope you like it! (Unfinished!)

I think if we saw a screenshot looking uphil from the opposite angle, it will give us a better sense of what is going on here. Looks good, but another angle would probably look better.

^ Agreed. Nice layout, GCI style?

I don't know if you're planning to change it or not, but I'd make a different kind of path for the queue line. That one looks kind of ugly.
