The Tale of the Luminai
For many millennia, the Luminai have lived in peace and harmony in their beautiful, lush, paradise world. These centipede-like creatures were large and swift, yet gentle. They thrived off the powerful energy of their planet’s two suns, which over the course of time turned them into beautiful, shining beings. This energy was the life force of their world, sustaining all living things in it. The countering force was the darkness of shadows. This was never able to prevail on the planet’s surface because of its double suns, which kept the planet in full daylight all the time. Thus the world of the Luminai remained, unchanging for thousands of years, until they emerged...
The Kentrika, dark creatures filled with spite towards the surface world of the planet, came forth from the depths of the planet’s core. They came by the swarms, from every crack and crevice of the ground. Out of the mouths of caves and the peaks of volcanos came hordes of these beings of shadow. The Kentrika, being of the core, had learned to manipulate the inner workings of it. This gave them the ability to control volcanic activity. Volcanos began violently erupting all over the surface, spewing thick, black ashes and dust into the atmosphere. This blocked out the precious light so vital to the Luminai. The volcanos rained their fiery elements mercilessly. Within days, the surface was charred black and covered in a blanket of ashes. All was destroyed, save one place. In the farthest corner of the world, a tiny valley remained unscathed.
One of the survivors was the Enlightened One. She was of a race of three-legged creatures, known as the Estrellok. Like the Luminai, the Estrellok needed the light of the suns to thrive. The Enlightened One was exceptionally skilled in the art of light harnessing. One of her inventions was a powerful machine which she called The Source. It was capable of capturing light and channeling its power through the air. Receiving devices could take this power and beam it into the very surface of the planet providing an alternate root for light to reach the plants and creatures living nearby. The Source was so strong that the thick cloud of ash and smoke could not stop it from receiving the light’s power. This device provided a safe haven for her and her friend Zelaria, who was the last surviving Luminai.
(This is where the park is set at in the story.)
They lived in their small valley sustained by the Source and its various nearby receivers. The Kentrika could never touch them because of the power of the light present in the valley. The Enlightened One and Zelaria built more machines, slowly expanding the small sphere of life until the planet was once again in full light. The Kentrika, having no desire to return to the core fought in vain to stop the expansion. They could do nothing for not even the shadows could protect them from the light that was now in the very ground upon which they walked. Life on the planet returned to an even greater state than it was before the invasion. Now with the machines at work all over the planet, the creatures thrived once again even better than before.[/font]
qft. no
I'm usually not a fan of fantasy coasters, but I was pleasantly surprised with this. I was expecting something more extreme. The supports were nice. Your archy was really cool, and not really fantasy at all. I'm definetly not qualified to rate you accuraly, since I am an unexpierenced player, but this was definetly some cool work.
The only other item was if your going to have a track of that length, try and have some prelift portion or adjust the departure times so that the train does not stop at the top of the lift.
Anyway, good luck with your next attempt.

But lets keep to the positives. The landscaping is immaculate. The backstory is really cool. The enthusiasm is definitely there. The coaster has some cool spots (although it's somewhat inconsistent).
Trust me, it wasn't easy for me to reject this. With Designs, the criteria is tricky, and who knows... maybe in the future I'll look back and say it should have been a Design. That's part of the fun of debating these things, right?
That and the bar HAS been raised.

It had some bright spots though. The lift hill looked flawless and I really liked the adventurous landscape with the coaster ducking in and out. Cool stuff.
Congrats on this, a nice release!
NOOOO!!!!. im really going to have to work to step up the design im working on
great park xenon although i would say the scenery was overall better then the coaster.
