This is the actual layout



overall its probably about 40% done

40% sounds a bit optimistic. I really like the layout of the woodie (how's the pacing?) but the mushrooms on the water don't do it for me. You should probably get some foliage under the water to break up that texture. Also, another type/color of tree to break up the dark green almost-monotone of the forested bits.

The layout looks very good, it looks well spaced and has a nice general shape to it. I do wonder about pacing though^.

As far as the surrounding, more colour in the carousel and some of the trees. I'd second ^ about the plants on the water to.

the grey path kills it more for me. youre tree trunk colours could be better. overall i like the layout if the pacing is good but the foilage is poor.

The layout looks great, but I think the rest of what you're showing needs a lot of work done to it before it's at design level. The foliage looks random and not natural, it's an awkward selection of trees and flowers, and those plants and shrooms in the water don't really work. Also the archy of the station is not necessarily bad, but éxtremely minimalistic. If you want this to make design it'll need a lót more doing to it.

Don't get me wrong, the layout looks lovely and definitely has the potential of making it to a design, but I'd hate to see you lose it on the surroundings.

Layout: looks good!
Foliage: very dull coloured... Default colours look better anyway. Add more trees with other colours and textures to the mix. And red/yellow flowers all over the place don't really look good in my opinion...
Water: looks like it hasn't been cleaned for years. So dirty!
Station: same colours as foliage? You missed the one opportunity to add some colour and life to the area!
Architecture: can do a lot for the looks of your design. You need some!
Ride entrance: it took me a few minutes to notice it. That's a problem.

I see potential so I'm trying to get this as far as possible.

Is this a better mix of trees than I had.
Also some of you said to put shrubs under water.
How do you do that, I tryed using zero clearence but it didnt work

I think it looks worse :/ The big issue is the colours of the trunks, use the lighter or darker shades of brown. Go have a look at some parks like Six Flags Carolina and pay special attention to the foliage for some better ideas!

Water looks MUCH better.

To put shrubs underwater, lower the water down until there's none, then place all your underwater scenery. Then just Absolute 0-clearance the water back up, restore clearances, and you're done.

its good to have a few default trees as they sit better on uneven ground

^Exactly. If you're going to use MG trees, avoid placing them on sloped surfaces.

And really just stick with the default colors for the trees. Your color palette would be fine if you did, I think, but right now all of them are just plain awful.
