There's almost nonride related buildings. A park has lots of those instead of just 3 or 4. also. You're using single paths? For a place like a ride street\plaza or a main street with buildings there's 3~6 paths next to each other to prevent overflow. And on the water ride.
Why a turn right after a drop? Especially a huge drop like that? A boat ride usually has a long splash down. in rct terms a splashdown is (for your drop) probably 7 to 10 straight section of track to slow the boat down.
Next, your park seems to be very grid based. Parks has lots of curves in their paths. Not 90 degrees turns. Just try to go diagonal with paths as much as you can, no matter how ugly they look in close ups.And the left section of the park seems to be very full whilst the right side is pretty much empty.
Next, your foliage needs more work. You're only 2 types of trees. Try to use 3 or 4 trees that compliment each other and looks natrual. Like.. your foliage already has a color of oak and that other tree. Now try to incorporate a deep green by adding pine trees or fir trees. It's okay to have 2 or maybe even 3 trees of same color if you have enough different trees to balance it out. And also fill up your whole park with those trees. They shouldn't just be across the river.
The land is also very flat incorporate even little bumps into the map. No land is completely flat. Open 8 cars. Go in game. Open the land tool in the game mode. And press ctrl+F1 this helps you to make little bumps and huge mountains easily. But don't do it right next to paths as part of the hill you make will be sliced off.
If you have themes for your park, it's easier to build with a clear concept in mind. But don't just have 1 theme for a park. Have multiple themes. Even Six Flags is divided by sections although not neccesarily strongly themed in all the sections. But make sure your architecture goes along with the theme.
You're a bit far from that accolade but you improve by looking at parks that are good on here. You won't believe how it helped me.
Also if you want to dive into custom scenery. Try downloading workbenches. They're empty saved games that are exported with huge amounts of custom scenery. So once you download a workbench (the saved game) and put it in your saved games folder and open it ingame. the scenery will automatically be put into your Objdata file where all the game's ingame scenery and custom scenery/rides are kept.
Just a little word of advice on how to get around here. -

Hey Matt, nice to see you over here at NE. Dotrobot has the general advice as to what is necessary for an accolade around here. To get started, try out the QFTB benches 1, 2, and 3 for all the custom objects in a bench to get into custom objects. NCSO if you don't want to dive into custom objects quite yet. Download link below. Like I said on facebook, check out all the recent accolades in all winning categories to get a feel for what works for NE. Hit me up whenever you need help and just post screens when needed. Good luck with your work man and keep up the hard work!

Thank you guy for the advice, I will be you using it on next park. Dotrobot you had ask me some question.
Q: Why a turn right after a drop?
A:I rode Intimidator 305 this summer and that’s what gave me that Idea giga coaster
Q: Especially a huge drop like that?
A: the G's you pull when you’re going 90+ MPH through a turn are very different form turning at a lower speed a top of a hill.
Q: A boat ride usually has a long splash down
A: true fully I don't know why that ride is so long, I always make a shoot-the-chutes Design -

All those questions were directed towards water ride.. No water ride has a turn right after a steep drop like that. -

I think you need to think more about what a park is and put more thought into general park aspect. At the moment it is a bunch of rides, there is nothing decent or unique about it, or anything really that I can comment on in particular.
Its good that you are having fun with the game though, but if you really want to develop your skills then download some of the parks on here and have a look at how the members round here build etc.
