hi mike,

i love the coaster track on top of the building, although it could have been executed better, it's something familiar, like i know i've seen something like it in real life. nice idea.

You're thinking of the Boardwalk Casino in Las Vegas. They tore it down a couple of years ago and they are currently building the massive Project City Center there. I did what I could in the space I had. It is right on the edge of the map.

And yes, there already is an Iron Man flying coaster in this section, thanks to Carl. And Wolverine is an invert.

The old Boardwalk Casino in Las Vegas. The coaster on top never operated. It was just decoration.

Ah, my mistake. Looks great.

Small update..... Nin had the park for a couple of weeks. Due to school, he couldn't do too much but did contribute with these three buildings with the right building being the entrance to Spiderman.

And here is a diner I have just completed:

I really like that. The only thing that bothers me is the scale of the building. I don't know, it could be just me. But to the guests, it might be rather big.

^Yeh, i'd say the windows were a bit too far off the ground etc.

But what nin's done is supwerb.

The diner looks great, but that building in the middle of nin's buildings needs another color. It seems like there's a bit too much yellow.

that diner is a little too big.
nin's stuff looks great though!

I'm definitly going to drop the windows of the diner a little lower to the ground. I do see what you all mean.

And I'll add a bit of white to the yellow building to accent it.... probably some blue to the gray building too.

Nah I think nin's screens perfect, I wouldn't mess with it.
The diners good too just the scale is a little off.

On nin's work, I noticed the diagonol wall was missing (checkered floor coming through). For some reason I thought it was a cool effect he did but realized it was just missing wall. I added white diagonol wall there and made the ledge under the sign white. Just enough so it wasn't all yellow.

The diner was tweaked. I scalled the windows and lowered them. I also demolished two wall sections off the back to make the diner smaller and built another shop next to it:

Looks better. A lot better. In fact, it looks awesome.

Oh, ha, I see the little 'effect' you were talking about, looks mosaic or something...
Glad you fixed it though..

^ Yeah, it does look cool though. Maybe it should be left like that! lol... Either that or I'll change it from white to yellow to blend it in more.

i still think there too tall but thats just me.

I was going for a lofty type of diner. Kind of like those palces that have 20 foot ceilings. Anyway, this park is about 99% complete. All that is left is to theme the Iron Man coaster. I have no idea really how to theme this one. I sent Carl an email asking if he wants to finish this since he built the coaster. If not, then someone else is more than welcome to help out.

If you could show me a picture of it, then I could probably think of an idea, but I'm not the kind of person to build it.

Here is the Iron Man coaster Carl did a long time ago, FINALLY getting some theming done around it:

the green building looks a little out of place, but the rest looks fantastic. the mood is perfect.
