    I love the station but the lift hill shaft is as Liam says too chaotic. I'd add more windows and also some black to break the brownness.

    I love that last screen very very much.

    I agree with Liampie and Splitvision... the lift hill shaft just looks.. weird. The roof looks too big for the actual structure it's covering for some reason.. See what it'd look like without the brown edge.. maybe recolor that edge, too?

    Dude both screens are fantastic. Love the shaft.
    I love the fact the one day you just woke up and decided to be good at this game.

    The shaft looks good, but like everyone else has said, it needs a different roof.
  • Goliath123%s's Photo
    Thanks guys, The shaft stays.
    From another angle it looks fine, the station, and interior is also visible so its really not that bad and i think it looks good placed where it is, going over the queue and stuff.
    Also JDP, thanks man, i like hearing stuff like that.

    Oh yeah :D

    You are starting to become good Goliath :) 

    The last 2 screens are sex. Really good :) 

    And I am happy to see that you are doing original stuff :) Older screens from you were inspired too much by others, this however, looks good :)

    I would take Liampies advice to heart if I was you, he is right about the big roof at the bottem :) 




    Good luck, and I hope you get even better as this :) 

    How far are you with this park? (And are you going to submit it for spotlight in the hope that you can win silver or gold?)
  • Goliath123%s's Photo
    Goin for the gold baby! :)

    I'd say im 75% now, moving up slowly
  • Cena%s's Photo
    Okay :) 

    What name are you going to give it? "95x95 park" does not qualify as a good parkname in my opinion :p 
  • Goliath123%s's Photo
    I dont know, i have thought about it. Any suggestions?
  • Goliath123%s's Photo
    Anybody else agree it looks ugly? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Well, structurally, I don't think wood could hold up a building that big, so you may want to experiment with either concrete or metals. Or rocks.

    What is the structure used for (other than a roller coaster)? Lumber mill? Warehouse? Mine shaft? If so, you might want to incorporate those settings into the building in order for it to have some atmosphere and character. Plus, it adds depth into its "age".

    It's okay-ish for a general-all-purpose old building, but it needs refining (obviously).
  • Goliath123%s's Photo
    It's supposed to be an abondened(spelling?) mine over 150 years old. Concrete just wouldn't fit in, i'll try rocks but they don't really grow around mines. Foliage is also a problem because its so hard to fit in. I'm trying different things but everything looks ugly, maybe i should make it samller. I don't know what to do now.

    i instantly thought of this upon viewing this.
  • Goliath123%s's Photo
    Yeah thats what its inspired from. I've wanted to do one for a while although the only thing which is inspired by it is the shaft
  • Splitvision%s's Photo
    Well I gotta say it aint beautiful, but I guess most mines aren't. What you could do is use more landscaping to make the mine look more built in to something, like a mountain. Some more details like barrels, junk, mine cart tracks, water draining and other stuff might improve it too. My biggest problem in that pic though is that coaster element, it looks really wierd... Could you not use a bigger turn?

    Make most of the roofs the same with a few exceptions of some wooden roofs broken or another variation, the amount of them are too much of an eye sore. After that add a decorative border that reflects your theme to wherever feels right on the building. Then some windows to convey the theme and maybe some 1x4 work coming off the structure so it doesn’t look too blocky.

    I'm not trying to tell you what to build but I like the concept and with more tweaking its going to be really nice.

    After that you could add a see-through section of the ride so it isn't completely covered up.
  • Splitvision%s's Photo
    J K's the man. That's excactly what you should do.
  • Comet%s's Photo
    If nothing else you should use the quarter tile wood blocks as walls so they line up to the roof
  • Xophe%s's Photo
    I think it's just generally too big. Surely a mine building wouldn't be that big? Why not make some of the ride inside a fake mountain? Also I think the roof is way too detailed - it's kind of confusing.
