Cool off on Schooner Splashdown, our original family-thrill water ride.
It is magical I think... which is to say the choice of colors here and the sparse but precise placement of elements (cluster of trees, cluster of dead grass, realistically scaled small structure, custom supports, bobsled track blended into the log flume to create a two-tone look) creates an overall impression which is greater than the sum of its parts. If you break it down technically, sure there's nothing jaw dropping in the technical process of it. But that misses the point I think. Every time you place a piece of scenery, tweak the terrain, build a ride, or whatever else and then stand back and look at it you're making choices. When all of those choices come together perfectly I think it deserves to be celebrated.
I don't post much, but I've been following your screens off and on and I think this is really going to be quite epic when it's all done. Every screen I've seen captures exactly what's great about a Six Flags park. Some of the particular details you've chosen to highlight really blow me away at how dead-on correct they are. Of course then I could imagine all the annoying teenagers, terrible food, and incompetent ride-ops ruining an otherwise beautiful park, but it's to your credit than you've re-created that atmosphere well enough to take me there. -

A few questions...
1. What % is the park at?
2. Can you confirm any other coaster types for the park? -

1. Maybe around 60% or so, depending on how much I want to develop some of the upcoming areas.
2. More than likely, an older-style Schwarzkopf and another woodie of some sorts. -

another woodie of some sorts.
Giant wooden racer like Colossus! and no Bizzaro?!
Regardless this still might be the first park to break the 100% barrier. -

Very nice robbie! Do you have a small glitch in the upper right corner at the base of the support? Aside from that, looks like another great layout by Brian. Relly like the look of this one.

That is brilliant
Maybe a bit too bold on the color though, and we all know Six Flags would never keep that old of coaster looking that fresh -

I really like this screen. Great foliage and it looks like the layout is going to be fantastic. -

I think its pretty damn amazing. Thats just about as close to Revolution as I've ever seen. Thats beautiful, great work guys. -

Haha Goliath, what do you expect? Why would the foliage be any different when all the screens are from the same park. I think thats one of the better features, that robbie isnt changing the foliage too much to achieve a certain theme. Which adds greatly to the realistic feel. -

Way to judge something for what it isn't rather than what it is. Epic Phail.
Anyway.
The track colors are electrifyingly beautiful and mustn't be changed. I don't care for the way the train colors interact with them though. A dark purple would be my preference, but a red or blue would also work better. Or a nice black on grey scheme.
Outside of that I'm not 100% sure about what you're doing when it comes to that catwalk at the MCBR (or is it 'just' a trim)... There's some fence, but I'm not sure why if there's no catwalk.
Other than that this screen looks fantastic. The layout look like it'll flow beautifully and have surprising pops of air (in the true Schwarzy style), the custom supports are perfect, and the foliage mix along with the land textures works perfectly.

the only thing that is getting boring, are you guys the suck up to others that still do same thing, like for example Rctnw(not i dont like you work}but you stuff is repeated on every park, only you change a few thing , but you are using always the same thing, like walls and sealings. -

Well I like it a lot, and I do have to agree with mister Ride6. It all is very good except for the train colors. I would prefer a yellow of purple. Ride6, I believe there is a catwalk on the other side of those brakes, but correct me if I'm wrong, robbie. -

So im not aloud to post my opinion?
Basically why dont you show other stuff besides the layout of your rides and the sane foliage? Yes they look nice but as a whole its pretty much the same thing. Try posting midway games, architecture(We've seen a few of them and liked them alot) Maybe some of the backstages or the guest functions(If you have them)
Im just saying post something different maybe? The last few updates have been good but i feel ive already seem them.
Im just saying dont go hatin
