    My God Otter, what an incredible environment. I wish I knew how to work with these rocks because for me it looks so natural, plus the foliage is just right, providing a very nice setting.
    I loved the straight brown bridge of the Kart and I loved the other dark brown bridge that has a downward angle, it was perfect. The Go-Karts station is charming, nice details.
    The waterfalls are really good, they give a special touch to the environment, because I really like waterfalls.
    I liked the way the ruins, details and columns are, I really felt like I was in a time of a lost civilization.
    I like that you use multiple tracks in BobKart, this is great.

    One of my favorite maps from you in a long time. The landscaping just feels so natural and flowing. Top tier work as always.

    Top-tier landscaping and some great elements to the architecture as well. I really like the way you did pillars in particular.

    The go-karts aren't my favorite between the hidden areas, weak station, and fairly limited interactions, though the bridge having both guest path and ride track was nice.

     

    I also find the path layout a little difficult to follow. In general, this entry looks amazing zoomed out, but when I try to focus in on details, I'm left finding the whole thing difficult to parse. 

    Still a lovely entry and great to see you entering a contest on the other side of the RCT pond.

    I have to say... you have this epic tropical karst landscape complete with underground mesoamerican ruins... "Bob Kart Canyon" is quite possibly the lamest name you could have picked.

    With that out of the way, I have to say, this map is very beautiful, inspiringly so; the landscaping of this park is a standout in itself. The rockwork is amazing, I am a huge fan of the the foliage, and the usage of those minaret roof pieces for the terrain is genius. I also love seeing the ruins peek out of the foliage, with interiors on the sides of the map. This is the kind of place I would love to explore in real life.

     

    The bobkarts and gokarts, which aren't bad rides by themselves, do feel like an afterthought for the surroundings, which stand out on their own. The rides do have some nice interactions with the rockwork, ruins, and waterfall though and I like how the gokart travels over the canoes in the river and has a station in that temple/cave.

     

    Overall, this is a very nice submission;  especially the amazing landscaping. This has to be some of the most beautiful usage of the canyon rock pieces that I've ever seen.

    I feel ya - definitely didn't put any effort into the naming. I will say that this was more of a fun exercise playing around with some dkso landscaping and an excuse to play around with the new go kart pieces! 

     

    I appreciate the comments, guys!

    Great scenery work, I think there are few if any within the dkso/ncso space that can match the foliage, rockwork and water detail shown here. Definitely going to be a good reference point moving forwards for foliage like this, and the palette works nicely to help reign in the strong textures and colors of the expansion rocks.

     

    I think what holds this back for me is some of the macro choices, particularly with the ride design. They meander around the outside and occasionally cross the valley, but other than that there isn't a ton of quality interaction with the guests or each other. You might have even been able to pull off some pseudo-racing moments between the two with some pacing tweaks on the bobkarts. And also, at the end of the day, it's just a bobkart ride.
