they don't look stupid don't worry coup

I think maybe an object maker needs to make a roadline that looks better. I don't think this looks so bad to where I would'nt use it, but it's also not the most elegant solution.

Great screen again coups.

Re those coolers in the top left corner? What a sick idea!

This will eventually happen, but i'm just one person, so it might take a while.

I'm abusing this line : Great screen again coups.

And it's true.

I'm liking that entrance to the park, Coupon, really clean and really classy. I agree about the restroom also. It could be classier like the rest of the entrance! As for the newest screen, really nice atmosphere going on. I agree the road lines are kind of strange for fences. The only use for them I'd agree with is for curved portions of path, otherwise I'd stick to other appropriate objects. Keep it up, dude!

With the involvement of nin comes the completion of the entrance plaza:

Looks great nin.

Austin, I have no idea what that says or why you put # before everything.

That is one ugly carousel building.

Took you long enough!

You should've added a clock.

That is one ugly carousel building.

I'm not sure if you're using that classic NE sarcasm..but...I really don't like that building. The colors are just bleh. A carousel is supposed to pop, not sizzle away with dull colors.

^I wasn't being sarcastic, it is ugly, and i'm glad i'm not the only one who dislikes it.

I agree, I think this is the weakest screen shown so far of this park. I really don't like the colors being the same as the entrance building, plus I've never seen a ride that close to the entrance in any park I've ever been too or even seen pictures of. Sorry, but this is a big letdown compared to what else has been shown in this topic.

Well that's a bit harsh. I appreciate you giving some reasoning behind your opinion Lew, really helps out.

I love the structure itself, but the colors are killing it. It blends into the back of the building behind it (entrance building right?) and just gets lost in the surroundings, rather than popping out like I think most Carousels should.

Yeah Nin... change those colors and imo, take out that peak too, it doesn't really fit in.

The carousel isn't bad, but I would suggest a color change as well. It fits in in the wrong way now.

I appreciate you giving some reasoning behind your opinion Lew, really helps out.

No problem

My issues with it are:

-You've used trackitecture when there is no real need for it. Also the use of it is questionable, you've used it to obviously create circular walls, yet the roof doesn't match it and thus it creates an ugliness as you are emphasising the lack of a curved roofline. Had you just used diagonal walls that matched the roofline it would give the impression that in reality the carousel building would be curved (achieving the same desire, without ruining the aesthetics)

-You've created a carousel that is symetrical all the way round, a standard thing to do, yet you've placed it on the edge of the park, and thus there is no point to the symetry and it makes the carousel look out of place. I'm a massive fan of carousels that don't sit in the centre of path, so am glad to see you took this approach, but as I said, because of these overhangs that stick out, it makes it look out of place.

-The roof itself isn't all that appealing, the flat part is quite distracting, it would look better without the flat part.

-The overhangs aren't supported, this isn't a problem as there isn't any need for them to be supported structurally, however the lack of the supports for them does make the roof look undersupported, it may just be the angle though as one of the supports is blocked by a tree

-I dislike the fences, but that's personal preference, I've never liked that set of fences as I don't think they fit in game, they look too thin, just like the road-line fences people use.

Anyhoo, I appreciate the technical aspect of it, it just looks ugly and out of place, due to the reasons mentioned above. Oh and I actually like the colours.
