    6) I'm the first to jump on the colour police as being ridiculous...but maybe try a different colour than the blood red.  Experimentation never hurts.

    That ain't blood red :p It's dull red! Blood red would look much better :D

    I agree about the path thing - that long straight line looks like it needs spicing up.

    I'm not so picky about the textures though. And I like the cauldrons :-/ Nice work.

    Better imo. Except it's spelt "da vinci's" and I'm not sure about the dull brown frame on two of the doors. Other than that very nice. And perhaps a base block under the two wooden roofs that are on the lower right of the new building? The arches look excellent - that's how they;re best used.
  • Silenced%s's Photo
    I like. The architecture has a sort of 'random but it all fits in' kind of thing. It's cool.
  • Steve%s's Photo
    its really nice chris. the buildings themselves are really nice, but theres a little to much brick. maybe throw some decorative fences on there to add some color...other than that...

    its coming along nicely :)

    Ok Chris has now passed me the park to do a B&M twister, this is "El Nundo" by far my best coaster ever, you get to it by heading under the cobra roll and then make your way to the station passing some animals, (i mixed in a bit of a zoo so it would be like BGTB) like paranas (sp?) in the water, and lizards on the Q.

    Another one soon, then it goes back to chris.
  • deanosrs%s's Photo
    It looks very nice, but if you moved that arch closer to the cobra roll (like as close at it would go) it would be a lot better. I would also change the queue line fence... I love how you've got the chris feel going here though Kumba, very effective. One last thing before I shut up... hack the paths through the archway on the building...

    1st screen on this page -

    Why have the red awning? Make it blue, or white. Also, lose the gongs on the roof. Apart from that, it's lovely, keep this area going.

    2nd screen -

    Kumba, you never cease to amaze me. This is lovely stuff, and i only have a few small niggles. Make the cars on the train all one colour. Red probably. Add in some thicker, full tile trees, it all looks a bit low lying and thin. I'd make the queue a different colour, so it doesn't blend in with the foliage, but it's just occured to me that maybe that's what you were going for. I don't like the brown paths, i'd keep them all one colour. And it's spelt "piranhas".

    This looks wonderful, keep it up guys.
  • mantis%s's Photo
    Wow! The trees rock compared to your usual selection - more of the bright green rather than the dull ones livens it up a hell of a lot.

    And great path/coaster/whatever layout and interaction all round.
  • Jellybones%s's Photo
    I think it's a bit cluttered and the coaster might go underground a little too much, but I love it anyway. The colors seem vaguely familar, though...
  • Geoff%s's Photo
    I love it.

    The only thing, I think should change is the color of the supports.
  • Silenced%s's Photo
    Make the supports different. It looks way too much like Kumba at the moment. Lavender maybe? Other than that I love it.
  • Ride6%s's Photo
    The last two screens really throw me back to Rivers Of Babylon in some respects. The archetecture has that SAC look and the aquaduct in there blows me right back. The support color sould change to a dull-orange or lavender on the coaster, move the aquaduct in under the cobra roll (not under the supports, but even farther and add a little more detail to the aquaduct while your at it.

    It's great, great, great stuff but I just want to help you make it spectacular.

    deano - oh i dont know, sounds like a hard hack :lol:

    Six Frags - I did that with Ivy so it would add tiny details of green, but it does look kinda sloppy, good eye tho...

    Turtle - I removed the gongs the second i got the park, lol. it was not my work but shit.... I also liked alot of your advice and changed the train colors and made the line red.

    dragonfly - with custom supports it not as EZ as real ones to change the color plus i like it that way.

    Knuckles - Yep it does look kinda like Kumba in that screen, and i meant for it to a bit, but other then the color and cobra roll they don't have very much the same track or layout wise.

    ride6 - Yes it is a bit RoB'ish, but thats how the theme was set up when i got the park, i will try to shy away from copying in anyway. chris started with the aquaduct btw :p

    The coaster, yeah, is amazing. What i know of coasters.....


    Queue path could use some help though, add more to it, make it a lot interesting, Also, get rid of the arch, or atleast make your "own" version of it. I've seen too many of those broken archs.<--Just me.

    Also, get rid of the arch, or atleast make your "own" version of it. I've seen too many of those broken archs.<--Just me.

    Trust me, its not just you. The broken aqueduct thing is totally out of place and looks like its only purpose is to look good instead of being accurate to the theme, whatever it is, and thus to me it doesn't look good. What does look good is the layout of the coaster and queue line, but the supports could be more realistic. Diagonal slants are needed for supports under a zero-g roll due to the g's going off in all different directions, and if you look at puictures, you'll see how to really make cobra roll supports, which are practically the same for every B&M sitdown. I think if you could fit in realistic cobra roll supports in that area with the ditches for the coaster track, it would look great expecially if you found the medium of standard cobra roll supports and making the supports look like they were designed to meet the land specifications. The prior screen, not much to say except that 2x2 thing sticking out of the roof of left building looks like it was just added on top to look good and again, to me it doesn't. The one in the front of that building are great, but that last one is just like not knowing where to stop. It may be just me though.
  • artist%s's Photo
    Well phatage i told Kumba i didnt want supports but he did them anyways which im not that bothered by so i guess he has tryed to make them simple as i dont like custom supports.
    Thay make everything seem a little ugly but thats imo.

    I understand. Finding the medium between two different things that are on opposite sides of the spectrum is a difficult thing to do. I am liking this park and I post suggestions so that it will be better, for that I want it to be better. You're doing a good job, and if you don't like my suggestions, just ignore them because this is your park. Don't let anybody, including me, influence its purpose.
