News / Genus Carcharodon and Dragonslayer

Erm... just to add some more meat on the logo? :?:

Posix, its amazing to see how far you've come with wooden coasters.

Kumba, you have all these amazing ideas and a very good general concept, and yet you have created an atmosphere which I can identify with most of your other work, making it seem like just another Kumba design.

Ah ok, at leased you used a quote by me for your sig

Genus: Carcharodon
Holy shit. I looked at the overview with very low expectations because upon first glance it didn't seem like much, but I was proved wrong from the instance I opened it. Kumba, you are indeed in a leauge of your own. With the little sea creatures swimming around, unique building forms, EXCELLENT quarter-tile work, it was a real joy to look around. My favorite bit was probably the height restriction pole near the coaster entrance - I looked at that and thought, "Wow, no way". The only thing I could tell you to improve on (in all honestly) is the landscaping. It's not horrible, but I see room for improvement in certain places. And really, it just doesn't compare to the rest of the area in some spots. Still an awesome ride, though.

Very nice design you have here, pos. Not my favorite of your's (I think Machete has to be one of the best designs on New Element at the moment), but it's great fun to watch it. The best bit I thought was the tunnel area and how the rocks made a facade out of it. Great coaster too, but maybe a little short? Bah, I don't know, I like the helix. Good work, anyway.

Posix, its amazing to see how far you've come with wooden coasters.

it's partly thanks to you

posix's looks very cool, wish i could check it out. Kumba's, as i remember, was dissapointing.

when does mine go up?

*cough* Shhh.

when does mine go up?

I don't know, we had a spotlight pretty recently.

^lmao

Okay, I took the time to look at Kumba's finally. Haven't bothered with Posix's yet (sorry, but I know I'll enjoy it) but Genus was rather well put together. The only thing I didn't like with the coaster track lava which looked rather sloppy to me, everything else was excellent. The coaster was fine up until the end where 1- the mcbr was too low to ever stop a train there without it stalling through the rest of the course and 2- Slow finish.

The theming and landscaping worked well and everything was kept together quite nicely without any major stupids in the color or detail level. Everything was very well done.

Easily my favorite bit from you yet Kumba, along with a couple bits in BP.

Bumpity, Bumpity, Bumpity...

Posix...

I'm sure I'd love it, but I don't have LL installed right now. Please don't hunt me down.

Kumba...

This is you're best attempt at merging you're hacking into your overall design that I've seen yet. There were still a few cases of hacking that distracted me from the overall effect, but it was much more to my liking than your previous work.

Other than that I pretty much agree with most of the other comments.

And now to disappear for another 3 months....

*crawls back into snow cave*

Came across this while looking at some LL stuff for ideas and inspiration. What an insanely long queue. And quite a great layout. Love wooden coaster layouts that double along the inside of the course ala Mean Streak/SteVe.

 

And, sorry for the 14 year bump

agreed dragonslayer kicks ass

So sweet guys. I don't think too highly of my stuff, but I do remember thinking this one went a bit under-appreciated.
