    "Designs usually focus on one main attraction instead of an entire park. Typically these attractions are roller coasters, but they do not have to be as we saw with Piraña by Liampie."

     

    I don't know - it doesn't seem to me that Design requires the ride to be large, just a main attraction.

     

    However. I do feel as though the main attraction in this case was a bit pushed to the side with the focus on architecture. The problem was not the size, but perhaps the composition of this area alone in a Design context.

    I like this, I can see what people are saying with the main ride not being the focus of this and therefore this not being design worthy.

     

    For me it is a tough call, all the content on the map is great, but the composition just could be a little bit better if you want to submit this as a design. I actually really like the idea of having the bobsled going over the buildings, but it does take the spotlight off the bobsled itself. I heard that you will be making a full park out of this and I think that is a really good idea.

     

    Personally my favourite area is the area near the river/canal with the bridges and the terraces, it has great atmosphere and overall is just very well done imo. I would maybe add some little railing around the planters for the tree's though.

     

    Personally I would vote for this to be a design but it is a tough call. All content on the map is great, the only thing lacking is the composition.

    For a ride to be a main attraction, I'd argue it has to be large. Not necessarily in terms of height or whatever, but at least in volume. Pirana (Which as far as I'm aware in the only non-coaster design) is still a huge rapids ride that dominates the map. The main focus of the map is definitely the rapids ride.

     

    Here, the main focus of the map is definitely the architecture, not the ride. Most of the ride isn't even viewable to any guests, which highlights even more how the ride isn't the main attraction of the map. If the bobsled had stepped out of it's footprint and had some interaction with the surrounding area, or was even just more of a focal point, with maybe the architecture surrounding it or something, I think it'd have a much better chance of getting design.
