    I'm very happy to finally be able to see this thing in game. It is a very nice release showing off a lot of talent and potential in you, Manticore! I love the coaster station, the coaster lifthill and the drop tower. Those probably are the most important things of this build and you managed to nail those quite well with the limitations of the DKSO bench. Going into the details there are definitely some other highlights to praise too like the lamps in the queue, the diagonal windows or the little gondoletta moment.

     

    Going over to the things that could have been better i must say that i didn't really like the palette. I know, palette criticism is always a little weird, but the dark blue water just feels fake here for me. Added to that i feel like you could have done more with the surroundings of the coaster in general. If i forget my naughty palette criticism the foliage and paths and everything that's there is quite nice. I know Efteling is a foresty park, i think a little detail, surrounding ride or another little building here and there could have made this even better than it is.

     

    All in all this is a nice release though and thanky you really much for sharing it. It definitely has chances to win a design for me.

    This was pretty cool. I loved everything that was there on the map. I had just hoped that there would have been a little bit more. It somehow feels like it is lacking in content a little bit. The content that is there is great though, I love the archy, love the coaster supports. It seems like a pretty faithfull recreation of the real thing. It's all pretty good.

     

    I do agree with RWE on the palette, but thats a minor point for me. Overall I thought this was pretty cool. Hope to see more work from you in the future.

    Really nice all around submission.  Love the how the new track pieces are integrated here, seamless really and you framed them quite well.  The archy in the station is also really nice, that diagonal bit worked out super well, nice work.  Also loved the curves here, didn't feel overkill or anything like they can sometimes.  Only two small complaints, I wasn't a huge fan of the pallet used, the foliage colors felt a little off to me.  Second, and a small point, is that the layout pacing was a little slow, I think you maybe could have tweaked some things to improve that a bit.

     

    Overall a very nice submission!

    Overall a very lovely piece of rct. It's nice to see how NCSO has evolved, how clean and detailed it is. The curved paths are really nice and help to break the grid. Highlight was the station, really nice building. Loved it, the lift supports were also very cool and it all is so recognizable from the real Baron.

     

    Not a big fan of the palette you used, don't know why because if you'd use the extended colors OpenRCT provided you'd have the Baron track colours in your paint menu. It gave some weird shades on the foliage. Also not a fan of the dark water.

     

    While it also is not easy to recreate a real coaster and you always have to take some creative liberties, there were also a few points on the coaster that were a miss to me. The zero-g-roll looked a bit too high imo and the part of the helix until the brakes are a bit janky.

     

    Overall pretty cool recreation that stayed very true to the original. Love to see more from you.

    A recreation that captures the look quite well (going by the POVs I've seen). Some good choices with roof objects and trackitecture, everything works pretty well together even with all the different roof styles, pretty clean and very well done. I like the foliage too, also how the map edges were done, gives it a nice diorama effect.
