Okay, time to dig this thing out from page five. It's moving again now that ride6 inc. crews are back on the site from other projects. Now with the return of the creative designers the project is back on track. And here is the parks currently unnamed S&S (arrow) corkscrew coaster.



Best regards,

Oh, wow. i like it, especially the landscaping. I like the colors on the building, but I think you should try to avoid plain walls.. they just look bare.. try something a little more detailed and see how it looks. and why do you have flowers stacked on top of each other?

*edit* just noticed something. Don't leave all of your tarmac plain grass under the landscaping.. mix in some shades of dirt.

the stations a nice peice of architecture, although you may have some color issues...and the queue looks too short. nice tho.

lower the top windows on the station, maybe lengthen the queue. The rest is pretty kick-ass.

I think you should cut down on the castle walls, i like them inn my parks too, but using them as part of the fence/walls and on buildings looks too much. Maybe remove some from the buildings, so that it doesnt look repetetive.

Maybe add castle windows on the right of the station where the plain walls are? and one on the front, but leave a gap between them and the windows above.

In the plants/shrubs in the top of the screen, it looks totally different from other parts coz theres no purple flowers in there, just greens. Maybe add some more purple flowers to that part (the rest looks great with purple IMO). If it gets too much maybe use less everywhere so that it all balances out?

I think the stacked flowers look ok, but also looks odd because they arent centered to that wall, it might be to different tastes, i liek all my work centered and even etc..

I do like the station, looks better than previous work from you. I like the path, the layout and height changes in it. Nice work.

It's not a good look where the battlements cut across the slanted roof, but apart from that it's hunky-dory.

Corkscrew coasters are a thing of the past. Its fine to have one, especially in a Busch park because both had/have one, but to say that it was manufacturered by S&S means that it was just built practically. I think it would be better if this were one of the older coasters in the park and was built only by Arrow Dynamics, in fact even Arrow Development would be more suitable than S&S. S&S bought Arrow more for their 4d technology rather than their corkscrew coasters of which one hasn't been made in some time.

^Phatage, you're a coaster genious. My envy for you grows everyday.

ride6, this screen screams nemesis chris to me, mainly because of the turret fences, which are, IMO, becoming an easy way to fluff up parks. I would lose most of them and try to find something more creative to achieve the look you want. The archy is pleasant minus the stacked red flowers thing. The blue flowers on the other hand are wonderful.

Beautiful!
I('m?) like that.. realistic and large plaza

Oi! I always use them!

The screen looks great Ride6, but i agree with jacko on that bit of plain wall.

Okay then:
-I'm changing the pure green patch on the left to add some flowers.
-I'll try to find an interesting replacement for the red flowers hanging out on the frount of the building.
-I'll change the length of the Q to something alittle more realistic

But I like my fences on the building like that, and this is the only area that I've done it like that. So I'll keep those. Thanks for the tips though. The park wouldn't be the same without your help.

EDIT: And the "S&S" coaster is an Arrow alright. Phatage, you forget about Tennessee Tornado, it was built pretty recently in the grand sceme of things.

There are far too many castle walls for me - as fencing they don't work imo. Apart from that, it looks quite good, actually.

It's very nice actually. I like it. Well done.

I like it too. My only complaints are the land under the foliage (looks like grass?) and the ornimental trees... I don't think they work to well here...

Damn, I really like some of the things you build ride6, but this sorta looks like you're taking steps backward. As far as I can see, there is no distinguishable theme here, and you've used wayyyyyyy too many colors from different areas of the color spectrum.

I dunno, I think it'll look better IN game, but this screen doesn't do it for me, sorry.

One last thing, I don't see why the heck it matters if it's S&S or Arrow Dynamics. Does it really matter so much that it will affect the way you view the park?

^ Just small touches of realism, theres no harm in getting it all correct (by asking newly made parkmaker, phatage:)) is there? Better than it all being odd.

Here's my opinion on the screen

The Good:

The landscaping is nice, I always like to build a structure on a raised platform, I think it looks really cool.
Thats it.

The bad, the ugly:

Everything else.


Sorry

Construction has been moving along steadily and we've pulled far into the Jungles of South America. Welcome to the Aztec Territory.

Enjoy

It doesn't look aztec, at all, but it is nice

Awesome, though I'm just not getting the Aztec vibe. I would sugges taking out the Fisherman stuff.
