  Pretty solid! I think you did a real nice job with the supports. Colors are maybe a little bland but overall nice work.

  Only issue with the supposrts are the first two on the lift. How would they work?

  Nice layout, and nice improvement on your other work! Except in one aspect: the colours. There's no rule that states the coaster needs the exact same colours as the station. Get creative. And you don't need to go bright to make it look less dead. Surroundings help too - maybe some flowers (not black or brown) somewhere.

   

  The sign in front is cool, but hardly visible. Maybe have a path leading off of the map on the left, suggesting a longer sightline towards the sign?

  Thanks y'all - I've definitely been trying to up my CSO game lately. As has been mentioned, though, color remains a weak spot of mine. I'm very liable to slip into my comfort zone, which is oddly quite brown and thus prone to being drab. I think I'll revisit the foliage and pathing to see if I can open this scene up more.

   

  Regarding the lift supports, Maverick does actually have some that straight-up pierce through the roof of the launch tunnel. I figured I'd just lean into that once the spacing of the A-frame support reached its limit. There's some room for improvement in my execution, though.

  As a resident #1 fan (please) of Maverick, I can assure you there isn't. The smaller supports are shaped like this:

  _v_

  I    I

  I v I

   

  Where the "v"s are the track above and in the tunnel

  You're exactly right about the arrangement of the supports, but some absolutely do pierce the roof of the tunnel. I'm going to revisit those first two supports to try and make them look more true-to-life as you illustrated.

  This was a fantastic suggestion! I reworked the plaza by the ride to include this, and it really opened up the whole scene.
