I don't like the placement of your power tower, its seems like a cheesy close encouter, everything else though is nicely done and well placed.
What are these for?

It's not really a "close encounter" I tried to place things so that the coaster is as interactive as possible with the rest of the park.

the power tower is oversized, look at the track scale in relation to the rider's scale

No it looks like the right size, I just think its badly placed. Also upon looking closer I think you're solution of people getting to the other rides is a bad idea, if you think about it if there wereactually people there would be too many for just that narrow bridge. I suggest openening up part of the lift hill and putting in arches connecting the ground and the supports.

The bridge only serves as an exit ramp from the coaster. Visitors can choose to cross the bridge or go around the lift.

going around the lift is a big inconvenience and would also cause traffic jams. Alowwing a certain amount paths through the lift is the best solution

Look Ckid, were rating the coaster. If you care about the flow of the people then sign up for a park management forum, or a civil engineering one. But just chill his scenery is just to make the coaster more interesting and less bland.
YES!

Indeed, but I will see how it looks with some pathways cut under the lift.
Here we go

All I'm saying is make the scenery functional and realistic.If your going to have it, it makes sense to have it look as if it would be something an actual park would do.

I have to agree with CKidd's thinking on this one and say wind your neck in a bit. His constructive criticism was far better than a 'yes this looks great'

When scenery is added I find it should always be functional for the park and/or ride/s.

I seem to recall that you were the one bitching about realism a few pages back...

the arch is a bit low... that's too much steel weight on the arch. make it maybe two or three tiers higher for a more practical archway.

uhh your arch still isnt finished. first the diagonal braces and then also for an arch you need extra wooden bracing followed by a net. It's on all scaffolded structure arches. The way it looks is sort of like a widened railroad segment with a fine net under it. it should be a little difficult to make in OC but not impossible.

Wood? lol. It's all steel, bro.

Edit: I'm thinking about my next big project. Which won't happen for a while. But would anyone think it a good idea to keep adding coasters into this park? Just like a real park continually buys more land to add more things.

then use steel. the point is to keep anything from falling on the riders. your arch should be much higher if you want to satisfy the laws of physics so at that height you will need a lot of extra bracing. the netting plays a small role in this. as for the park idea, throw it away, it will lag the fps as hell. Ckidd, woodie coaster 3ds is gigantic and impractical.

You're also themeing to one coaster in particular. I'm making this like a real park. So, as I get more flat ride objects and get ideas for a new coaster, it will be incorporated with the whole park.
