    C'mon guys!!!

     

    Don't mean to be rude, but c'mon.

    I've just noticed that Faastopia has got it's deserved accolade.

    This one was first...

    My own release was after this one...

     

    What's happening here?!

    What's happening here?!

    I've been wondering that, too, but I didn't want to say anything.

    Thanks guys! :)

     

    Sorry for the pushy comment before, but it wouldn't be cool if someone sends in something quite promising and it doesn't even make it through the voting stage.

     

    Good first release Majordomo!

    Almost had it there mate. I see why it didn't quite make it though. Good luck with your next project man!

    Thanks, Nederlander buds!

     

    I'm happy with the score. It fell pretty much right where I thought it would. Thanks for taking the time to even consider this for an accolade!

     

    I feel like took a pretty big risk in making a Vekoma SLC (when there were only two to have ever made design in the past), but I'm glad I took it. It got me out of doing the same-old stuff that everyone does, and helped me get more familiar with a difficult to work with coaster type.

     

    The layout is a bit funky, as I was talking about with 5dave earlier in this topic. I don't know if a lot of people got it. And I'm not sure if that's a fault with the Vekoma standard layout, my rearrangement of it, or if it just wasn't readily apparent and nobody realized that's what I did. I'd love input on that.

     

    The theme also wasn't the easiest to pull off at a scale like this, despite the vanilla game including some native american themed pieces. I feel like that was my biggest shortcoming here (which lead to another big issue of strange architecture). I lacked the specificity I prefer to theme with. Had I decided early on I wanted to do "Powhatan Indians" or "Paiute Indians"-- something more specific than "Native American", I would have had a better time with themes. And although generality let me finish this within the month, I feel like the park suffered a bit because of it.

     

    I also tried a lot of experimental stuff here, and I'd like to hear what worked and what didn't. Here's what I'd really like feedback on:

    - The heartline twister track as the splash boats chute

    - The alternative rollover design using inline twists rather than half corkscrews

    - The horseback rides

    - Small building design [e.g. the dockhouse, photo booth, and zipline entrance/exit buildings]

    - The two-tiered starflyer

    - There were 5 different areas of foliage: grassland, forest, pasture, hill, and waterfront. What worked and what didn't?

     

    Of course, other feedback is more than welcome. That's just the stuff I'm curious about.

    How do you fix the ZLINER missing file issue ??

  • csw%s's Photo

    You can download the zipline ride separately here

  • inthemanual%s's Photo

    It should be included in the .zip. You have to manually move it to your objdata folder.
