    Please enjoy this design! I understand that
    for some it may be a little bit "raw." For
    instance, there are really only 3 buildings.
    But, nonetheless, it turned out better than I 
    had envisioned. -gir

    Thanks to those who download, it was fun to make and see it "come to life" in-game. The final evaluation was 12.85, missing the mark by .15 points. I've attached the version that I submitted, and a revised release version. I'm curious to know which version you like better, so download both if you want. Otherwise, I suggest just downloading the "release" version. Thanks again!

    ouch, 12.85 must hurt.

    Anyways, the flow of the track was nice, but there wasn't enough surroundings to support it.

    that queue cover is nice

    I like the changes you made. I think this was a great design, and I especially loved the creek for some reason. The steep banks just looked really good to me! Sorry that this didn't quite score high enough for the design spot.

    I love the amphitheater especially the lights and stage
  • geewhzz%s's Photo
    i voted it a 16 and really am saddened to see this not win, especially because some other designs i don't think were as good won barely scraping by with a low score.

    Thanks for the comments guys. I'm not really upset that it didn't make design, but thanks to those who think it should have--it gives me a bit more encouragement.

    i cant remember what score i gave it, but it was very high.
    i happened to adore this.
  • FullMetal%s's Photo
    Wow, I'm really digging those queue awnings! Will check this out later when I get home.

    those tables inside the land is an interesting hack- pretty cool. shame you can't make the arches go higher so you can see it better!
  • Xcoaster%s's Photo
    I liked this one as it was simple and elegant, but it was just a bit too empty, and the coaster layout didn't do that much for me. I think I gave it a 13.
  • Wanted%s's Photo
    Meh, I agree with the not design quality voters no offense.



    Okay maybe I did mean to be offensive.
  • geewhzz%s's Photo
    i know i've said it once, and i have to say it again after watching this for a while last night. the layout is so fantastic. easily one of the best woody layouts for 2009 and it deserves a lot more recognition than it has received.

    please tell me that you will build something else, gir?

    Oh you never know. I've been toying with entering a mini to Kumba's contest, then there's some other projects I could pick up work on (old H2H3 with Alec???, a certain trio, who knows?). To be honest I wouldn't expect anything during the school year though. The summer looks much more promising right now.

    I'll try to upload a full aerial if I get some time later.

    I wish I could download this! The screens are so classy, it's unbelievable. I must have missed this earlier, and I regret it because LL was working for me then. You're one of my favorite parkmakers and I'm so disappointed I can't see this in game yet.

    The layout for the coaster is by far the strongest aspect of this creation and probably worthy of a design. However, the theming and general surrounding area is in my opinion what lets this down and with all due respect overall doesn't warrant this worthy of a design accolade.

    There are some nice ideas in here and flashes of future potential but on a whole it feels very haphazard, especially the ferris wheel. If I'm honest it looks like something from when I was playing the scenarios back in the stone ages.

    I'm quite shocked this came so close to getting a design, I don't know if it's easier for me to notice being away from the site for a while but I think the general standard of releases has slipped a little, though I guess it's needed in interests of regular updates and is by no means a criticism, just an observation.

    Anyway, I hope I haven't come across too harsh, you have the coasters down gir and that's the hardest part, the rest really just takes a bit of practice and it'll all come together. In time hopefully we'll see more LL designs on the front page.
