    Hey 2 switchbacks in one release cycle! Nice

     

    Lovely little park and setting - the highlight for me here is the log flume / minigolf. Feels very road-sidey and well integrated, with nice rockwork. 

     

    I love the little motels and the restaurants outside the park, but everything outside feels a bit... dead. Some moving traffic, some parked cars in the lot, some peep scenes or objects would go a long way to liven up the whole map. 

     

    Would have loved to see the junior coaster be a complete circuit, rather than another boomerang, but it's well integrated and I like the colors and the decoration. 

     

    Switchback itself has a nice layout, and I appreciate the simplicity of your switch track / station return. Lovely supports, as well.

     

    Great little ode to ZDT, happy to see another rendition - I hope Switchback gets sold and re-homed because it's such a wonderful little coaster!

    Cute park, kinda reminds me of some of the little parks in Wisconsin Dells.

    While I think you nailed the setting and aesthetics, I have to agree with Therty about the outskirts. They could use a lot more life. All of the bones are there, though.

    Love the log flume and the redentition of Swithback is very solid. Nice little park!

    So glad you finished and submitted this Austin, it has a lot of charm.  The surroundings are definitely a strong point and give this map a unique feel.  Despite a lot of this being older it still stands up well.  Hope you still have a bit more waiting in the wings.

    A bit of background here - This park is nearly a decade old and has been mostly complete since 2017 or so. I lost some interest in RCT and then decided to slop a few things togehter and just release it. 

     

    The idea of the park was to build something in-game that I could imagine building in real-life if I built my own theme park. Inspiration from that came a lot from a family-owned park, ZDT's, which is of course where the wooden coaster was inspired from. Other parks IRL for inspiration include Adventure City and Timber Falls Adventure Park. In RCT, Prodigy's Stone Valley Adventure Park was another big inspo. 

    I know some other folks built on this, but I don't recall to what amount. I think Pacificoaster built the Taco Bell, and probably others. HMU if you did and remember.
