That coaster is the most insane looking Rocket Coaster i have ever seen. great job, phatage!! The park looks wonderful.


R.A.S.

I don't really care for the toon's-spiky-looking-shrub. I think it'd look tons better if you used a jungle type bush. That'd look ace, my good man.

Not bad looking. I'm sure the coaster's magnificent, but it's hard to comment on that by just a screenshot. You totally swanked that bush stacking idea from my LL work!!!!!!!!! swanker!!! Well maybe not but it was a lot harder when I did it. And if the idea is that you cover the flat spaces, you ought to pile them on. Flat spaces are natural but ugly. So I can only assume that's what you're going for. The building is kind of unattractive but that's mostly the roofing. Totally wrong. And I'm not into the spot where the coaster enters the rock going northeast. Not very nice looking. Sorry if this all seems like I have some grudge on you or something. It's just, you are a parkmaker. Expectations, expectations.

BTW I know I said I shouldn't judge rollercoasters from the screenshots. But that one looks RAD!!!!!!!

I like the coaster and its supports alot, but what I really don't think i've seen before is a lot of underwater theming made to look like ruins

The underwater supports are stupid, because they would eventually get beaten by the elements and your ride would collapse. You should have the supports go into concrete foundations.

that coaster looks great, really enjoyed watching the whole thing and the underwater scenery.

Am not sure about the color of the coaster and some of the scenery, but overall looks fantastic

The underwater supports are stupid, because they would eventually get beaten by the elements and your ride would collapse. You should have the supports go into concrete foundations.

Intamin have had to be creative with their supports, as well as the traditional footers used in water having to be modified a bit. This allows the company to build supports as they would on land but underwater instead of having to build the footers extending overtop the water's surface.

I did initially build the traditional way of building the footers to above water height, but I felt it ruined the atmosphere. Seeing as Intamin have come up with some advances in recent years with their rides, I thought that this may be something realistically feasable. The amount of work to drain the water where the supports are, which happens to be out into the sea btw, would be take too much time and money to be done in real life, and these new supports/footers, whatever the hell they are made out of, can withstand the water as well as get built without draining the waters first. I'd figure this would be something Intamin would do if met by the challenge, as they have managed to meet unique challenges like this before like fitting a giga lifthill = drop into such small space by utilizing a cable lift, building hypercoasters on top of buildings and indoor loopers, launched water coasters, and so on. I do appreciate you looking at the pics that carefully though, I haven't heard from you in a long time.

Happy new years.

Dude, that s horrible. Get off my forum.

You know you're not funny... Right?

what's up with the blue building? it doesn't fit at all, really.

i like the rest though, even if the foliage looks sloppy.

Metal, you're like a bad case of herpes that won't go away. Lah-who-ser.

On the screen. I agree with steve here. The blue building just appears to be out of place, but only because its blue. I think if you chose a different color scheme for it, it wouldn't look so awkward because the purple / red / blue combo is just so hard on the eyes. The coaster supports are fuckin' awesome as usual and I actually like the landscaping / foliage.

Lah-who-ser.

Wow. Lets try to be cool on the internet since we can't be cool in real life.

How come he never gets that I'm just messing with him? I could keep this on forever

Oh, and please tell me all about your herpes experiences, since you are the expert.

Happy new years.

love the dynamic landcaping here, really accents the coaster.

Metal you can steal my avatar if you want

My favorite screen so far. This is really turning out to be great, as usual, especially the use of the landscaping and those custom supports, which are perfect.

Very, very nice.

The foliage on the cliffside is actually very nice...That's how it grows in real life. :scarface: Maybe a few more cattails on the last square before the cliff though, since the switch from those jungle bushes to the mostly bare sand rock is kind of abrupt.

And also, are you still building the part right after the station, or is that an invisible track hacked section?

I'll see what I can do about the foliage change, I do see how its abrupt and I'll try to make it look more natural by having the foliage overlap a little in some places and receed in others. The track right out of the station is invisible for half the ride, and then the second half is the coaster part. Thanks for the comments guys, and I knew the blue building stuck out when I built it btw.

Yuck.The blue building and the surrounding foliage ruin it. Coaster colours and supports great though.

This screen doesn't seem to have a theme either. You're going for spooky or something similar Iknow but this screen doesn't convey that IMO.

Also, just noticed that building with the barrels on top. That really looks out of place.

Am I the only one who does not like those supports? Sorry Phatage, but they look really bad, the base is waaay to fat. It was a nice attempt, i know what you were going for. And why are they red, when all the other supports are black?
