Do all the sections have domes and tall terrain?

The unusual color scheme on the coaster works really well for me, so I'd be sad if you changed it.

I think it's brilliant so far. Nice mexican/spanish/aztec theme you've got going here... I think.

Great to see this moving again...I love that structure in the upper left btw.

Great job. I want to see this park get completed.

Some of the landscaping is bothering me and none of the waterfalls end up anywhere. :' /> Also, this theme could fit into almost any of the other ones we've seen. (other than Atlantis) It just isn't distinctive enough. I love that Enterprise and I love to see this still moving.

So that's why Kev got re-parkmaker'd.

Wow, that's just.. wow !
Really like the dog statues, but the covering of the brakerun is missing supports. Absolutely love the enterprise. But as postit mentioned, where does the water go? And the grass hedges round the queue seem out of place to me.

Perhaps change the rails to a slightly duller green on that coaster? Unsure though.

Lovely work Kevin, great height variation and fantastic architecture interaction with the coaster. The chaos wheel looks awesome all caged up I would take the windows out of the pillars though, as no-one can actually get in there and it's too thin. Just keep them as columns.. I like the hedges on the queue line, something you wouldn't expect, but looks cool.

Don't like the waterfalls seemingly coming from nowhere, and leading to nowhere. They don't add anything to the area and no atmosphere would be lost if they weren't there.

Not sure about that archway in the bottom right, looks kinda flimsy, but I am assuming that it is incomplete.

Great work though, a lovely atmosphere and what looks like a thrilling coaster.

kevin great job again!
The building on the upper left is indeed awsome!
the queling line is very nice done as on the screen... the yellow and green works wel.. the coaster comes out of the area instat going in the area... if you know what i mean...

although i love this park and can wait to see more of it there is a few thing's i didn't like!

the biggest is the waterfall(s) without an ending point... if you have some 1\4 tile water tiles ou can make maybe some little width river... like metro said that the waterfalls don't add some extra touch on the area i don't agree.... (sorry metro... just my opinion) just keep them but make sure they end somewhere and fi possible begin somewhere!

Altouhg you did a nice job o the wooden stairs.... i can't agree with the supports. you have done the same in an other area.. maybe try some different supports. maybe the 1\4 bamboo pole made by toon.

Kevin great job again..
hope to see more... but not to soon!

Adios

Kevin, good to see you and this park alive.

I think I've figured out what I really like about your style. It's your ability to take a relatively small area, give it a perfect tropical feel, then tuck it away into the facade or component of the towering, large buildings you tend to build. Example here? That wonderful 2x2 structure with fountains in the bottom right of this screen. Just gorgeous. I'm also a big fan of your color choices and symmetrical tendencies.

This is one of those parks, like tyandor's EGAS & metro's SC, thats managed to stay alive through its years of construction ( ) and still remain new and fresh somehow. Big props there Kev.

and don't be such a stranger around here now...

I really like the ruin kinda theming it is very nice, but that coasters colors are pretty ugly imo.

Good luck finishing this, but with the way you build I think it mite be another year

Looks nice, but lacks refinement. That could be the way you build, and you add the details later? I'm not sure. Anyway, just looks like it could do with a couple of extra touches here and there...

Thanks for the comments.

Phatage: No, I just don't enjoy making my areas too flat. I enjoy giving different height variations throughout my parks, but don't worry, not all of the areas are going to have huge differences in height...

Geoff: Thanks, I'm pretty satisfied with the colors too.

Iris: Hehe, yeah its still going, and this is proof.

HandyAndyG: Don't worry, it will get finished, it's just hard to keep going with this park as it has been in the works for a while now...

postit: I got rid of the waterfalls and things look better already. As for the area not being distinctive enough from the other areas, I'm not sure where you are getting that from, as I think this area looks very different from all the other sections of the park. Maybe once you see the park yourself or the whole area you'll see it differently.

Turtle: Yeah its lacking in details in certain areas, but I do details last once I get all the buildings and the layout of the area finalized...

Well, I think I covered everything, and I'm also thinking of the other suggestions the rest of you left as well...thanks again for the comments.

Big fan of the colour scheme here, very bright and realistic for a new coaster. The archy in the top left is perfection, i think you have a spotlight on your hands... finish it!

The building in the upper left appears to be very symmetrical, and the waterfalls seem to come from nowhere. Not to mention they should be leaking out on all sides, and where they do fall out, it seems to be right onto the top of a path below.

I do love the fountains on that building in the lower right hand corner, though. And like Geoff, I'd be very sad if you changed the coaster's colors. It's very bright and unusual, and I like that.
The chaos ride in the upper right looks nice, and I've always liked arches with those wood poles.

The elevation changes are incredible, though I'm not sure how much you've got going on in the park. There is a limit, in my opinion. Work in more water, and then once the flowers are watered it will be a great screen/area.

The only thing I dislike is the waterfalls coming of the building ornaments. If they are incomplete and you have something more in mind for where they end up, I can wait to see the result before passing final judgment tho. It would be a real boost to the site if you actually finished this

Hey, I'm still going. Its just that there is so much outdated work in this park and hard to update all of the things that really need to be updated.

Awesome screen Kevin. The foilage looks really nice here. But some of the mayan walls look a little out of place. Try using some egyptian walls instead.

Keep it up!

I like how it all comes together in a way that's compact, yet doesn't feel cramped. Nice foliage as well.

Amazing atmosphere going on in that pic.
