CoasterCreator9 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) Hey guys, this was the result of me putting my mind to an idea yesterday afternoon: Maelstrom is an Intamin Zacspin based in the heavily forested section of a larger park (as evident by two other "coasters" and a rapids ride interacting with the area). I'm currently working on adding bences and lights, but any critisim and comments are greatly appreciated for this project.

braztaz Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Wow, very cool! Tehe only thing that isn't perfect is your foliage, which could use just a little work. But other than that, great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dotrobot Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Lowlife>Trees. Also it seems to be.. dense with no order whatsoever. Tall trees at the center and shorter trees around . And I'm not a bigfan of your path combinations it seems kind of random with no cohesion. But on the other hand the waterfall and landscaping is great. So is the station and ride&supporting. But make it stand out a bit? The station has blue in it, the same type of blue in the supporting with a lake at the back. White, grey, yellow are just some suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my third fully supported coaster and first mega-landscaping project. UPDATE: Here are some color options: I particularily like the grey/white.

paradisecoaster Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I really like the yellow roof, you shouldn't change it. it gives that colour burst that's needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow and grey, or yellow and tan? Or yellow white? SCR46.bmp Yellow/White sample Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelegendarymatthew Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 The color of it looks fine the way it is. This ride is awesome, and I'm glad that the RCT2 comunity finnally accepted full near recreational Zac Spins to their parks/designs. However, I bet you some where, that someone is going to try and remake the zac spin, but try and make it look "better" by doing stuff with the impulse/giga track , and that'll be the expectation..... Oh wells, looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wells, looks great! I like the origninal station, personally. Haha. Yeah, I had this idea awhile ago, the only issue with impulse/giga is it doesn't easily work with the radi of the loops. Worth a try someday! So, basically I'm getting ready to submit, I just need input on the station colors, my top choices are: -Original -Yellow/white -Grey/white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger01 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Anything but that Yellow and white. It dosn't fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterCreator9 Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 Anything but that Yellow and white. It dosn't fit. That's what I was thinking, It adds a burst of color, but that's not what I want it to do. I guess I'll go with grey/white, adds contrast to the supports/lake and still fits well.

Thelegendarymatthew Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 ^Better yet, purple and blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterCreator9 Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 ^Better yet, purple and blue Hmm, that's a good idea, any particular shade? Edit: I tried it out, reminded me quite a bit of seaworld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dotrobot Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 The foliage is nicer but still very sparse check out my lone star gardens (in my sig) or my sunny thrills. It has patches of full lush foliage surrounded by more sparse foliage which creates for a very natrual and flowing feel.\ I say yellow/white. It's the best one by far. It might not fit anything but it stands out in such a nice way keeping the screen clean and refreshing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paradisecoaster Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I didn't think of the other colour, that doesn't matter to me as long as you use yellow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
