Parks New WIP Park - Fairfield Park

Abletudu · May 4, 2016

Just started a new park called Fairfield Park. I haven't got much but I wanted to get some opinions on my Coaster Station. It is somewhat simple in design and modernistic.

Another view of the station:

Nice! But try to add some Trees and other Plants! [big grin]

Perhaps you could give the station entries a frame? Currently the entries look more like holes, than entry ways and deter from the modernistic design.

I look forward to the progress. [happy]

(Just a heads up, there is a Community Creations forum where this thread would be better suited. https://forums.planetcoaster.com/forumdisplay.php/33-Community-Creations)

Thanks for the suggestion, but actually they are framed with door frames. I guess you can't really tell because I used the white ones. Maybe it would be better if I used a contrasting color.

I revised it a bit, any more suggestions:

the colors dont look as good in the 3rd image

As for the overall building, it looks empty/hollow because you didn't give it a floor and it could use more details, scenery, plants, etc. It looks like a good design for a strip of shops. It also sort of looks like its just a roof top, but kind of lacking in height (just my opinion). Height is all about preference, I just think a coaster should have tall scenery around it.

There are lots of pics/vids out there of some really good designs, but my suggestion is to try raising your station platform higher so that you can give the building around it some height, so buildings can be tight around the ride/queue instead of stretched out all flat like, that's just my view though everybodys can be different. Another idea is to try and keep most of your queue line within the building, possibly. It's all up to you though, and how much time you want to spend on that one coaster.

I think it would look better if you added some trees and bushes, and maybe mixed in some wooden walls. Pretty intresting and cool design though!

@Creaper I am thinking of changing the whole texture of the sides of the building, but keep the roof pieces, might put some plants in the pass through section of the building.

@ Doge Might make the entire building wood texture (except the roof). Still kind of experimenting with it.

Really appreciate the suggestions, steel coasters are not my best. Once the wooden coasters are added I'm sure they will be better.

I made a few changes to the coaster layout as well as the building. Here is the new building, hope you like it:

It looks great now.

Abletudu · May 6, 2016

Thanks, I still have some work to do on the track as the train goes really fast, but I think I'll wait on that until the boosters and other coaster things are activated in the next phase to do the tweaking. When I am finished with the tweaking of the coaster, I will record and post a video of it. Now on to the rest of the park.

Here are several screen shots of my central area:
