I have a screen of my Impulse coaster named: Mechanical Madness!
Do you like the custom supports and the station?

Whoa, blocky town.

Let's start with the coaster and go on from there.

The coaster's station is way too blocky. Add little details here and there to spicen it up. Don't just stack walls, double wall. That may be one of the easiest ways to make a dull building a good building. Maybe even add a few more offshoots here and there to make it have a more unique shape. And don't do the entire thing in grey. Grey can be very dull and tiring when used in such excess. Change the ground under the station to concrete, and don't have so many custom supports. It doesn't look good. Look to real world impulse coasters for reference.

Your treeing is also very... bad. Don't select two tree types and cover every inch of a tile with them. Leave little openings here and there, throw in some shrubs, rocks, whatever. Just don't cover a series of tiles completely like that.

Where exactly is the queue supposed to connect? It's kind of just there. Your pathing could use some breaking up as well. Place some gardens in the center of large path areas.

Lining up your shops and stalls like that isn't attractive, either. Place them together and put a covering over them. Since this is a factory themed coaster, put them inside a building themed to that.

And for god's sake, don't show an incomplete screen. Finish it first. If you can't wait to show it, at least crop the picture so we don't see all that grass.

1.That's that last time I let a guide show me how to do my work better.
2.Agian with the guide.
3.The paths will connect with something as soon as i finish the midway area.
4.My trial ran out in Photoshop or whatever.

Oh yes, I forgot to say, the whole park isn't going to be mech themed. Just that coaster. The shops and stalls along the midway are going to be the parks' main theme. And they WILL be covered!

I doubt this park will be finished anyway so that's pretty irrelevant. Anyway, I suggest you look at some real Coaster stations. Land raising? Irregular Shapes? Colours? Queue Line? Keep those in mind.

It will be finished like all those great parks out there.

Except it won't be great.

Whoa, blocky town.

LMAO Iceman!

Whirleyscoot - my advice is to follow iceman's comments, because they are very percise as to what you need to improve on. You obviously are at the beginner level of parkmaking, so respond to the criticism with new and improved screens, not by discrediting other members comments.

I have some new screens! They speak for themselfs

Well...uh...it's...um...erhm...uh...


It needs work.

Try too make the woodie more than a drop a turn then done. The end of the splash boats is very irregular, try to do somthing different than three S curvs. I dont know the use of those suspended coaster track for the rocked coaster , it looks retarted, you should take those away.

My suggestions.

Right. I love the landscaping.

You're right, the screens do speak for themselves. I'm just not sure what they are saying? It kind of feels like when my son used to show me his stuff and ask my opinion. I was never sure what to say without hurting his feelings?!? Anyway, I guess if you're having fun all is good, but don't expect much positive in terms of comments. Have you looked at any of the spotlight parks?

Those tracks will be where I will have a suspended coaster

^ One that runs into itself? :\

I looked at that screen with the river raft and the woodie and it looks like one of my parks!

... only that park is more of just a blank workbench to test hacking stuff and not really a park. But it's about as well themed!


To be serious, I suggest d/l'ing some Spotlights and looking at the theming there. Check out some of the old H2H parks, and browse the Parkmaker page. Some of the Runner Ups have good RCT 2 parks as well. Basically, you need help in everything. Your coasters are too short and boring. A woodie with just a drop, turnaround, and another drop is horrific. I almost think this is a joke, but you seem so enthusiastic. Make your coasters realistic. Have you ever ridden any? Try to emulate those. Note the detail and theming in my RCT 2 parks. Buildings are not just blocks, they have windows. There's a variety of flowers and shrubs. Landscaping occurs... there are level changes. There's water. There's atmosphere.

But right now, this is really just horrible. You have a lot of work to do, but you can only attain it through practice. It wouldn't hurt to take a Spotlight and copy it, just as an exercise to familiarize yourself with techniques and styles. Right now, it looks like you've only been playing the game for about two weeks.

I would say two and a half...

Well you know, he does know how to build through. That took me at least 2 days to learn.

I'm sorry, but when I used to do the scenarios I made them look better than this.
