Announcement: Universal Parks and Resorts have proposed a new park for Australia. The park will be located just outside the city of Sydney and is projected to be Australia's largest and most exciting theme park.

Looks really great,
the entrance is amazing. Perfect layering of walls.

Fantastic. My only complaint is that the path doesn't look like path and the planters seem to float. I think it needs more texture...

^my exact thougts !
I love what you did with layering the wall

It also looks odd that the black roof has the same texture as the black path. I'd really consider changing the path.

Yeah, that ground texture looks kind of odd in the entrance, but I reaally like the entrance itself. Keep going!

I think this looks great as it is, actually. It's a great first screen. Can't wait to see more from this.

Looks great, except for the roof/path color issue already mentioned.

Beautiful job with the latticework and hanging gardens. Simple but effective.

Fantastic. Simply fantastic.

Really great work, I especially love the planters for the palm trees. My only gripe is the white with the Universal logo on the entrance, I think it would look better black or purple to match the background wall.

I love your simplistic but realistic and beautiful style. Great work! the logo is perfect.

I think the path is fine until it turns black, maybe use actual tarmac there
Other than that this looks awesome

that entrance gate is fantastic. i'm still boggled at how you got all those layers to work out nicely, wow. i agree with comet that the switch from brown to black pavement is pretty bad. maybe use a smoother transition. besides that, nice!

Great work. I'm really looking forward to seeing the whole park. I am curious about the layering. I looks great, but how did you construct it? Specifically, how did you get the tan panels to show the yellow edges behind it?

UPDATE: Universal Studios Australia has announced the park will feature a B&M Floorless roller coaster named Iron Man.

Nice Looking, Isn't Iron Man Red and Yellow though?

Aha, just about everyone seems to be putting Iron Man coasters in their Universal [and in some cases, Disney] parks. I don't care for the forest behind it, mainly because it provokes a non-Universal park, which all seem to be fairly contained in their own controlled setting.

Also, try to make the launch tube more exciting to look at. Right now it's just a tilted box, but if you look at Hulk's, it's an elaborate structure that looks as if it were taken directly from a comic book. Try to recreate that look. Perhaps even step back from research into Universal parks and other theme park material and actual look into the focus of the coaster, that being Iron Man. Look at comics and their art styles, the movies, etc. Right now all I see is an attempt to make a Hulk rip-off.

Holy damn you work fast. The foliage on the top is pretty thick but i think it works well here.

Details on that trim might be nice. Like a catwalk on the side and a ladder and you know the rest

feels like a totally different park. The foliage doesn't match with the first screen at all, and it's got way too many different colors. Kind of a disappointment as I was really feeling Universal in the first pic.
