It's difficult to comment on the scenery since it looks like it's quite unfinished. The path textures looks somewhat random, especially in your second screenshot. Have you used a reference for the supports? Those lift hill supports does not look like any B&M I know of. Also, some of those footers are huge.
I think the layout can use some work as well. It's good that the coaster interacts with itself but both of the "knots" look messy somehow. Transitioning between going right and left can make the elements look more distinct. Maybe replace the sea serpent roll with a loop and the have the mcbr going through it?
Scenery-wise i suggest you to look at other parks here and try to find out about how they do things. There is a ton of maritime themed stuff on this site, search for some tags, scroll through some stuff, get inspired, maybe copy a few little things here and there and then find your own scenery to theme your layout.
I quite like the coaster, it's unusual. I like how it wraps around the sea serpent roll.
Two things no one in their right mind should ever do:
- mix crazy paving and brown tarmac
- use those giant rock objects
Two pet peeves of mine.
I was using Dominator at Kings Dominion as reference for the supports (https://rcdb.com/4079.htm#p=28201) but those are only like that because track runs under it, so I’ll have to find some more stuff to fill out the ground under it.
thanks for the feedback all! Taking it slow with the scenery, because way back when I used to post here I would just build buildings that maybe looked nice but had no practical reason to exist. Next time I’ll try and get a finished screen, scenery and all.
Unusual is exactly what I’m going for
I really like this but can't help but feel like the bottom section around the Sea Serpant roll has way too much going on.
