    Welcome to NE!

     

    Couple of things I'd suggest here, work on the foliage a bit more, this felt very spare and kind of just random feeling.  More architecture and buildings would have been nice, again made the map feel pretty sparse and empty.  You'll probably notice in most of the higher scoring parks on new element are very dense with details, buildings, foliage, and things like that.  Naming your rides will also help, gives them a bit more of an identity!

    Some fun stuff here, I like the one tile stalls, the coaster over the edge and the maze over a bridge, and the Virginia reel theming.

    It was pretty fun and lays a good foundation for future work from you. But naturally, I have some critiques. It's aesthetically very coherent and well assembled but all the buildings, while nice enough, are basically one tile huts. And the coasters, while they interact with the landscape well, could use some spicing up as far as the elements go. The wooden coaster could use airtime hills and helixes. The airtime hill after the first hill is rather short and goes right into a banked curve. If you just had it go into a curve by itself I wouldn't critique it but doing both makes it seem to me that the ride lacks a bit of vision. The wild mouse going over the edge is a creative idea, but the long straight stretches make the ride a little boring. I know that I did something similar in Moonrace Alpha with the Soviet racing train so feel free to call me a hypocrite but in general, it's a good idea to not have too much straight track.

     

    As for the foliage, it's pretty sparse, like desert sparse which I don't think is what you were aiming for. A couple more trees together surrounded by some climatically appropriate bushes would make it much better. The landscaping is quite good for such a new builder so congrats on that.

     

    So, good aesthetic sense, good landscaping, some interesting ideas. But could use some bigger buildings, more interesting coaster layouts, and better foliage. Good for a first park and welcome to NE!
