    I love the colonial feel of that screen.

    However, one thing did catch my eye. You seemed to have used fences everywhere, except for on the right. You also put foliage and/or flowers below every single tree, except for the one to the right. It just looks kinda odd.

    Haha and I thought this was the new Fatha'. Oh well still looks fucking awesome even if it's all been done. Good going on having balls to use the shitty trees.

    Yeah, the screen is a bit unfinished. Thanks for pointing them out though.

    Hey now, I gotta throw in a couple of areas with my old style right? :lol:
    And as for the trees, every single tree that RCT has will be used at some point in this park ;)

    Looks great, but I really hate it when people don't name their ride scenery, and just leave it "roller coaster ##." Just a pet peeve of mine.

    But it really does look great, except for the stuff that roberto roboparks pointed out. And those yellow flowers at the top look a little awkward.

    That has to be the best screen you've shown so far. It's so classy.

    ahh, the last screen reminds me of ne's standard. very nice. very.
    however the two white walls of the ticket gate could get front windows.

    Update 8

    Well, over the road trip I took to Georgia Tech, I had some time to build in RCT and I got a HELL of a lot done. I built a suspended and a floorless coaster before I left, and now that i have returned both are themed and running in the park. Today I will show you a floorless ride that has truly become my most magnificent, intense, and visually stunning Floorless ever. The interaction it has with the land is very phenomenal and it fits perfectly with the theming around it. The layout itself has some very generic inversions (In fact it only has three types of inverstions), but its pacing and the aforementioned make up for what it lacks in other departments. I present to you, Species.

    This screen shows the Cobra Roll that is cut into the cliff running through the area. The cliff is pretty tall as you can see, and when viewed from another angle most of the Cobra Roll is hidden.

    Here is a better representation of the height of this cliff. The lift hill of Species is the second tallest in the park (In real life, it would probably be about 160 feet). This screen shows the first drop that dives right off the top of the cliff and into the vertical loop. The first portion of the ride is a page right out of Scheussler's book (See DragonFlight). Also of note, I believe this is my first Beemer with a diagonal lift.

    Here is the best visual of how terrifying this drop would be in real life. Top of the lift is about 20-30 feet off the top of the cliff, and after that its about 130 feet down into the jungle.



    The other coaster i completed theming is a suspended ride, and it is very well themed. The ride turned out better than I expected it to, and actually now is the best themed attraction in the park. It is located in Colonial Ecuador and remains nameless (thus unnannounced). These two new rides make this park special (in terms of the coaster lineup). All five of the rides are my best efforts from each respective coaster type, and they all really complement each other. Next weekend I will show you screens of the suspended ride.

    Enjoy.

    The cobra roll is just nuts, dude.

    What area is this in? I didn't see it in your post, maybe I just missed it.

    You're tree placement is quite messy and the cliffs are too 'verticle' in places and too tiered in others. Looks alright though, that first screen being the most impressive of the bunch.
  • JKay%s's Photo
    Yeah, that 1st screen rules. That cobra roll just screams "wow", and those red flowers are superb. The treeing is a little off for me, mainly due to the over-use of bushes as opposed to trees in the 2nd and 3rd screens.

    A Kumba style B&M = Awsome :mantis:

    Loveing the themeing around the cobra roll too, really awsome stuff Fatha'

    If you put a bunch of bullrushes on the banks of the river it might look more overgrown and junglelike which I think could make the theme even more captivating and wild.

    That cobra roll is flawlessly done though. Excellent job.

    I havn't announced this area yet.

    Thing is, the cliff level is a different area than the jungle area, so they wont have the same exact treeing. I think I overtreed the top of that cliff though. As for the cliffs themselves, sorry nate, that tiered look mixed with the vertical look was what I was going for.


    Any more comments (wouldn't mind having more per update).

    No gripes here. It's beautiful, and the landscaping makes the cobra roll quite effective. Wonderful job!
  • Roberto Roboparks%s's Photo
    It looks ok. I like the way the coaster goes down the cliff, and the cobra roll is executed perfectly, however, all the trees in the first screen are a bit overwhelming to me.

    Man i just did a guest spot and named my B&M species, i was very fond of the name and the coaster, damn you fatha.

    Anyways i think the screens are perfect, great job on the cobra roll and the landscaping is top notch. Just stop climbing into my brain and stealing my thoughts ;)

    I like the screen of the Cobra Roll but apart from that, I'm not too kenn on this update. They just seem very bare and unfinished due to the lack of architecture. And I find the treeing in those screens quite messy. It's a shame though because I love the rest of the park.
  • posix%s's Photo
    i find the foliage quite interesting, really. it looks hard to do. as for the cobra roll screen, i don't really know. i'm missing a few more buildings or park-ish atmosphere. it looks more like a coaster was built into a rainforest, rather than a park was trying to theme it's area to rainforest, or what exactly the theme is supposed to be. sorry, i didn't read, heh.
    but anyway, as long as you're building, it's all good, and a change in your style is definitely beneficial for you, i'd say.
