I dont think it helps you see it better, but here.....

I like this one a lot better than the other screen of El Dorado. However, I think the tents couold use fences around them, as anooying as it would be to put them there, and the flowers(?) behind the glass fences don't work, imo.

Yeah, like TracidEdge said, i dont really like those flowers behind the glass there.

I also dont like the blue on the tents...maybe a dark red like some of the window trim and some of the rapids-archy color would blend in better? I think the tents would appeal more like that, I just dont like that blue. Fences could help it as well, but I'm not sure.

Actually, that's -much- better...

And it looks much better now too (I think it was the dark green grass throwing me off before). I love all of it except for the chairlift wires (which are okay, I guess, if you're getting rid of supports) and that tiny bit of city apartment walls to the right.

But everything else is lovely; great, just great.

I just think it's awesome

love it. The yellow is a bit overstated though (imo). If you could re-color some of the yellow rapids things gold and maybe get some fences around the tents it would be even more lovely. This is my favorite screen so far, easily.

Your rapids-detail make's it look like marble. It look's fantastic.

Maybe try:

1. Changing the color of the rapids acting as balconies at the top of the building to tan.
2. Getting rid of those mini-golf paths over the entranceways and changing the coaster track color to tan.
3. Replacing those two chairlift windows under the tents to regular path windows, if possible.
4. In front of the palm tree left of the entranceways, eliminating that clear yellow wall in front of the brick wall.
5. Trying a brown or red on the rapids tracks in the 1x1 buildings between the entrance paths.
6. Trying a brown on the rapids tracks under the tents.
7. Changing those first-level chairlift windows on the left to a tan, or replacing them with hacked path windows.

Overall I think it's a bit too gaudy and ostentatious, no offense, mostly as a result of all the yellow. As this looks to be the entrance building of the entire park (right to the left of the entrance booths) I would suggest you tone it down a little in order to put the park's best foot forward, as you did in the other screen.

I like everything except the tents and the flowers at the top of the building, they both stand out to me in a bad way.

Once again I like it very much...
One thing is those tents... I remember in the last screen seeing you use that crimson color for one of the rapids walls. Why not make the tents yellow with that red? Might fit better.

No fences, I put them up on rapid's to make them seem more grand...sort of like domes of some sorts on a pedestal. And about the gardens, i agree that those gardens don't work, and they will be changed. I intially had red gardens behind the glass walls, which gives the appearance of a golden stone wall (Also hiding the path supports).

And it looks much better now too (I think it was the dark green grass throwing me off before). I love all of it except for the chairlift wires (which are okay, I guess, if you're getting rid of supports) and that tiny bit of city apartment walls to the right.

My bad about the apartment walls, they are supposed to be hidden by a golden abstract fence.

As for the gold, im trying to stick to the theme strictly, which is why you see so much. I might toy around with tan coloring tho. The path windows don't work, because the abstract square gets glitched into the path tunnel.

I'm going to defend Fatha'. Oh, wow, flying piggies! So cute!

Anyways, you're telling Fatha' to get rid of the yellow and gold, right? But this is El Dorado, right? Do you know what El Dorado is? IT'S THE CITY OF FUCKING GOLD! Of course there's going to be a lot of yellow! And, equally of course, it's going to be gaudy and ostentatious! IT'S THE CITY OF FUCKING GOLD! What kind of modest society would make a CITY OF GOLD? Huh? These were GAUDY and OSTENTATIOUS people! Duh!

Whatever, I still don't get the whole "El Dorado" vibe from any of it except for your use of "South American ruins" cliches, and a lot of yellow. Sorry.

I don't know of a better way to express "El Dorado," so Im sorry you don't get it.

Well there is at least one thing we agree on....i think.

I'm really liking this over the old area. I love the hacks you've used, and the placement of ride tracks in architecture. It's shaping up to be possibly the best area of the park now...

I'm not really liking the blue, but it's not really that bad. I'm not sure about the flowers behind the glass, i'd say keep them though. I think this could benefit from turning a couple of the areas of yellow into gold. This would turn the overall feeling from slightly tacky to more grand.

I agree with the Turtle, except change the flowers.

Wow, that update, while showing us nothing tells us a lot about how you're going about things. And how quickly too.

I'm guessing that you're planning on finishing it right before the beginning of the PT's main round?

Update 16 - Harvester announced

Hey, small update here. Just wanted to announce a new ride....

Harvester: Themed to a Mill attached to a series of farms, spin around this machine originally intended to collect harvests, and now intended to thrill guests. Located in Machu Picchu.

Basically, it is a scrambled eggs themed to a mill house (It is housed inside a structure, much like the Scrambled Eggs seen in Mala's Mt. Sinister but a bit different. A good bit of the ride is themed (about 10x10 squares worth), as it is the only ride in Machu Picchu. Unfortunately for you all, I doubt screens of this will be shown.



In other news, Species, a flat ride in Galapagos, has been changed from a Scrambled Eggs to a Gravitron.

Sounds cool, wish we could get a screen of Machu Piccu
