Description
A WIP-screenshot of a ride that i am working on, with the name Halcyon. It has a vertical lift hill and vertical drop, followed by various inversions and a few airtime hills, until it reaches the breaks and drives into the exit-station.
I still have a lot of decorating to do, but i am allready satisfied with the way it looks. I am working in the 'Build your own six flags park' workbench, so no custom content will be used.
As this is my first posted screenshot on this board, i would love to have some additional feedback and critism to improve the ride! -

there's some decent stuff in here. the station looks very cool, but i think it could look better if you just used normal blocks instead of the roman ones. the supports are pretty good, but i'd say add some smaller supports lower toward the sides to prevent this thing form falling over on it's side
. the ice being right next to the grass is maybe a tad weird, also because the ride seems to have a roman feel to it.
i'd say keep it up, we don't often get new faces around here!
Thanks a lot for the suggestions.
I will remove the rest of the snow as you suggested, and will see what kind of nature i'll go for.
The support of the vertical hill/drop is now expanded and less symmetrical giving a messy look, which somehow reminds me of old Roman forts and adds to the coaster.

And as i didn't show this angle before, a better overview of the ride itself:

I still have no idea what i will do with that cobra roll, i might build another large structure arround it, but i do not want the total coaster to be covered in the supports. I really want that loop and cobra roll to remain visible.
I don't like the updated supports... looks too bulky. I'd either go back to the original or consider adding in some B&M supports with Parkdat (unless you are trying to go for NSCO). Ride layout looks decent, if not reminiscent of something like Fahrenheit at Hersheypark.
ooooo I like it. It's cute.
