Description
One of the last themed areas of my Mega World Park remake is getting some southern flair. The area has received a huge revamp in the lore getting a Super Boomerang to replace the old Vekoma Boomerang, and Dueling RMC Raptors to replace the steeplechase.

Nice stuff, looking good. How far off is the park?
very good, this green roof is a 10 and the black path is nice
JK, probably about 60% of the "park" is done, with about 10% in progress and 30% still needing to be built or reworked. Outside the park still needs a lot of work but that should be much much faster. Pretty much just landscape and highway.
I'd change the path into dark gray and the roofs to black. Other than that, lovely screen with some interesting coaster stuff going on.
Yea this is pretty good. I would also change the dark green rooves to black and switch the dark green supports to something else. That green colour seems like really out of place to me.
Otherwise its lovely!
I'd also take another look at the foliage and landscaping that you have here. It seems like the buildings and path work are at high 80s quality and then the foliage and landscaping (especially by the water) is a lot weaker.
I would add some more interesting brush to the river bank, right now it seems like you just spammed that two objects across the river. I would also add some more interesting patterns to the foliage in general. Right now it looks like the trees and bushes are kinda just like plopped around. Try to use the foliage to emphasize different parts of the layout. Think about sightlines from the path as well, like that turn around should be a lot more clear IMO with flowers instead of trees so the peeps can see it from the path. Then you can maybe used trees on the backside of the turn around to frame it. Also some sort of rockwork would be nice by the river as well to break up the default landscape.
Everything expect the foliage and landscape in the screen looks like high gold to me but the foliage and landscape is holding it back at the moment IMO.
Ah, you found my biggest weakness barn. haha. Good advice though! I'll try out some other colors too.
This looks pretty sweet, but I'm not gonna lie, I'm not getting New Orleans from this at all. I think more peep scenes would help, but also just taking a bit more direction from some real life reference. Even just the stereotypical green, yellow, purple combination would help evoke that feeling. Maybe beads in trees and some festoon lights across parts of the midway. I understand it's not supposed to be super immersive, but you can definitely push it a little further.
Edit: breaking up the larger building would help in this regard too, but also in for the macro in general. Having the combination of the smaller 3x3 next to this much more massive dominating structure throws the balance off.
That circular roof is super clean. Is it new objects or just the 2x2 half diag ones and some tile inspector work?
Wow MrB, I love what you got going here. The bits of coaster that I can see look very interesting and I like the shape of that circular building with that little foliage patch in the middle and that cute little terrace on the left. I'm going to echo FredD's advice on changing the dark black path to grey and the roofs to black, or using some red(dish) brick. The circular building looks awesome in shape, but the thatch texture seems a strange choice to me. Espescially with the dark green color. So if it's possible, I'd change that to a corrugated roof texture. You could give that building some purple and yellow/gold accents as well. In regards to the architecture; I think in general, you're on the right track, but that big restaurant building doesn't convey a New Orleans vibe, because the big building has a shape that is very a-typical for (stereo-typical) New Orleans (French Quarter) architecture. I'd suggest looking up Robbie's Rue Royale screen and real-life inspo; it's mostly parallel lineair lines, if you get what I mean. Not, parallel, diagonal, parallel in one building. Congrats on getting 60% done. You're over the hill! Just keep pushing for that final 40%. Looking forward to this release.
