Update 19 - Big El Dorado Update
Back to business, lets get this rolling. Well that initial problem has been solved and then some, and now it seems as if the area is progressing extremely smoothely. Theming has begun on the Arrow Suspended Coaster Nazca, and once done it will easily be the best themed ride in the park (Even more elaborately themed then O Criminoso. Lets move on, shall we.
NEW RIDES
Inti's Reach: Enter the temple of the most powerful Incan God, God of the Sun and Ancestor to the Ancient Incans, and blast-off on the tallest attraction in the park. Choose to get launched from Inti's temple, or choose to get blasted straight down into the hallows of the structure on this Quadruple S&S Space Shot/Turbo Drop. Feel Inti's true might on this incredible ride.
Nazca: Fly through the Canyons and ravines of El Dorado on this intense suspended roller coaster. Dodge past temples, golden housing, and various other structures while whizzing past foilage and rocky terrain all at the same time. Hop aboard the Incan's most technologicaly advanced thrill machine and hold on tight.
Myth of the MoonWalkers: It has long been rumored that the Incan's knowledge of the universe spanned farther than the reaches of Earth. Legend tells us that they knew the celestial bodies and the void of space, and more importantly, its effect on a human. Great Incan thinkers have created moonsaulting devices to hopefully train future astronauts to go into space and reach their Gods. Located inconspicuously in a terraced and hanging garden structure, juxtaposed right alongside the moon God's temple, lies two thrill machines waiting for your services.
Now, onto what everyone really cares about, a screenshot of the newly themed Nazca
- To the left is the station of Nazca, with its lift cutting right through the station structure.
- The lower right hand portion of the screen is the attraction Wall of Kings.
- Look closely and you can see the train navigating the course.
- Entrance of Nazca is where the banner is.
One more El Dorado screenshot to come....enjoy. -

The whole thing seems a little... disjointed.... so to speak, but I often get that feeling with screens, and am proved wrong when the park is released.
In other news, i'm not loving the big skull or the Roman structure thing in the windows. Something smaller? -

Looks nice, colours are good and there are nice ideas, but yeah it is very crammed in, if your going for that as you have said before then that's cool and your doing a good job. -

This new screen has way more yellow/gold then the previous screen. That previous screen had a good, fair amount of yellow/gold, but this new screen is to yellow/gold for my taste.
However, I must say the creativeness and execution of this park is excellent.

Very nice, but maybe a little too much yellow. Maybe change some of those rapids tiles to Tan or the darker yellow (you've used both in the screen, and they look better IMO) Great work.

Erm..wow.
That screen is now my favourite of the bunch. I take back my original thoughts on this area, it is looking quite incredible. I'm just so gutted that I do not have LL. I may actually buy it just to see this. Everything looks perfect. -

Um... Uh....
I like it except there's too much yellow, change some of it to gold (please?). The skull seems a bit out of place too however I may be wrong there, it just has this sort of dark aura in a bright and exciting place.
I like or love everything else.

Do you people complaining about the yellow read at all?While El Dorado is the 'capital' city, the golden bold and ostentatious city, Machu Picchu is more of a rural village....sort of a farming community that does mostly harvests and trading. In other words, Machu Picchu has a bit more grit than El Dorado, and really is not as fabulous looking (well....in terms of boldness). Anyways, on to the screenshot.
It's MEANT to be gaudy... -

Yeah, but I'm starting to think that maybe the "gold' color might be a better idea. Less overwhelming, and yet, also, more inline with the theme. El Dorado is a city of gold, not a city of day-glo yellow. -

I think the yellow works better. It's more gaudy and extravagant looking the more 'refined' but less spectacular, slightly duller gold color. I think once again it looks superb, this park is starting to look like your best work ever imo. -

Oh, yeah, anyways, this is easily my favorite screen. This park is getting better and better, but just a bit too slowly for my taste... -

working on it.
New update? cougholympicscoughCorrection. I'll be writing that one.
You should just get started with that new update instead...
Love it fatha. In some ways I agree with ed that there are little things i don't nessisarily like however i find more little uglies in my own work because I'm too lazy to fix them or more often than not taking them out screwes up something else.
But I've always liked floating barrels and stuff. Call it "object creativity" if it makes you feel better about it.

I think gold trim *might* work.
And iris, what do you mean "starting" to be come his best work ever? -

Gaudy and overdone, no kidding. I do like it, a lot, I just never liked yellow THAT much. I mean yellow flowers with yellow coaster with yellow acented buildings, it's almost hard to look at. Maybe leave the yellow and change the tan to gold (gold not yellow) because it needs some kind of darker hue to bring out the brillance of the yellow. As it is it's one big bright spot, sure it works but it would be ever better if there was some measure of contrast.

I like all the yellow. When I look at the screen, I immediately think of a city of gold, so thats good.
My favourite area so far is the cidade de deus one. Great job on this park, looks like it will be the first Fatha park that I can actually like! -

The more people complain about too much yellow, the more I pat myself on the back. I refuse to use the darker golden color because, well, it isn't truly 'golden' in my opinion. This yellow makes for the best choice when making a city of gold (change all that yellow to the dull gold and the city looks dull and NOT gaudy).
That screen is packed in and crammed in because it is suppose to be. I am not going to have theming on a coaster spread out like theming in an area (along pathways). The actual area is spread out far more than this screen indicates, as it is only a screenshot of coaster theming (for the most part).
I agree about the skull...it sticks out of the gold a bit much (noticed it ever since i made the wall, just too lazy to change it). I'll deal with that part during final sweepovers of the park. -
