MTC - thank you my friend!!
Gustav - community is all about debt to one another and paying it all forward
Milo - excellent suggestions - those things you mentioned very much sink into the background when you have been playing as long as you or i. it becomes as natural as breathing but would go long strides to helping others to improve. Maybe I should make a dedicated video for those things you suggested... lets make a list together:
-hotkeys, ctrl/shift/z etc
-scenery picker
-scenery clearing
-landscaping vs land painting
-the path menu
what other ones jump out to us that we can put in a short video?

You locked in! This is everything I loved about the best parts of lake of lost worlds and a little more developed.
The coaster was really really great, original while still being plausibly realistic. The only part that I didn’t like was how squared off the horseshoe roll was. I liked the banking change but the result was lacking in flow as compared to the rest of the layout.
All the pathing and archi was top tier. I perhaps would have rotated the building near the entrance 90 degrees so the balcony was more to the benefit of the plaza.
I think the main thing that could have been improved was the overall macro but that would be a fairly high level improvement. The integration of all the elements at play were awesome.
Congratulations on the next step of your evolution brother! -

great work getting this submitted microwave, far easier said than done.
my favourite part was the enigma. its station and queue was nicely composed and the layout was probably the most refined in the park. i think it is no coincidence that this area has the most developed foliage also.
the entrance area also has some really pleasant macro. the eateries and the car ride looking out onto the lake are really cute, great eye.
i also like the keep of camalot area and the cheese factory buildings. these are where your eye for interesting buildings reveals itself and shows that your skill level is above what is presented elsewhere.
sadly a lot of this park feels very rushed, not just in the fact that it feels very empty and underdeveloped, but also the ride design. some of the smaller coasters truly feel like first drafts you connected back to the station as quick as you could. i know you to be a huge enthusiast so i would encourage you to really indulge in your coaster design and keep hammering at them until they're as good as your potential is clearly showing
the thing for me is that in many moments i can clearly see your eye for composition and ride design, but in the end i think you wanted to move on to the next project, which i respect. I'm looking forward to perhaps a more focussed, commited design before your next large scale project to refine your skill which is shining through in many moments on this map.
looking forward to whatever you bring us next!

great work faas. this is a tight project with some pleasant surroundings.
the vibes are very strong, you've leveraged composition, theme choices and micro execution to create a super pleasant viewing experience. if i were to guess i would say you have fully achieved what you set out to bring to life.
where i think it could be improved is the fact that i don't think any of it was particularly brave. i think a lot of your choices were executed to a high degree of quality, but i didn't feel surprised. it was all very safe. the hotel was an exciting moment, but it is a quote from a real life example - expanding upon this idea could have been an exciting direction for a wider section. id love for you to foster that instinct that made you select that cool building to quote.
for me, the coasters perhaps could have used one or two more drafts to hammer out some clunk, but all in all, not a bad showing.
easily your most impressive work, hope to see you bag a big green name. i just hope your next park leans more into your abundant talent with some braver decisions.
keep up the great work, faas. such a lovely viewing experience
