Mount Tiki Boomerang! Coaster Spotlight 487 | Contest Entry #PlanetCoaster

[DanniSegs]

Hi Jonny and the gang, I'm glad you enjoyed the coaster for the most part. I'm afraid my comments about terraforming may have been taken too literally here. When I decided to place a coaster station underground this was done without knowledge that pathing could not clip below the terrain (some "expert builder" right) By the time I realised my mistake I had done too much work and there wasn't enough time to fix it before the contest ending. To place any paths from the station, terraforming would be needed, however as stated in the rules, you were not going to place paths so I hoped I could continue with the submission.
I always intended some of the clipping moments to be left uncovered as you may see that when travelling forward from below the ground and then returning backwards there is no visible clip from the ground, however I do take the advice for the opposite effect when the ground can be seen as you travel towards it. I did cover most of the holes with lava panels but if the blueprint is placed just slightly off then they can get lost, I wish there was a better way to advise on level placement in game.
Anyhoo, I just wanted to explain that I never intended for users to have to terraform the entire coaster, and tbh I never intended for this blueprint to be usable once I realised my mistake, but the project was already too far gone. I still wanted to submit it for the experience alone, which you all seemed to enjoy and that made me very happy, so thank you.

Will use this as a learning experience as usual, and take on board all advice. I may decide to remove from the workshop if confusion continues, it was designed for the contest after all and I have no intention of frustrating other players with a difficult blueprint.
Thanks for the helpful feedback as always ;)

Great effects, and a fun coaster! I think it might've worked better with a non-inverted boomerang. The fireworks outside looked great, but the track ended up in the way! As for the blackout panels, the new re-colorable panels would even work better. They give you a truer black than basic shapes, and they're less shiny too!

[wsiegel]

I wonder if taking a screen shot and adding it to a screen panel showing the tunnel might have worked. But I guess you would have to include the media file also. Great effects, had me in awe. Nice job.

Little strange with the terrain work but very cool

[syncros]

My entry made a sneak peak in this one ;) lava effects were great and it was a awesome ride!

[MelissaTimea]

I'm downloading this and using the black panel trick. I really like this coaster! I like how you have the option to terraform or just use a black panel to hide the clipping.

[laelalove]

it has its pros and cons but still pretty good

[cameron]

IMO Blueprints shouldn’t require you to do terrain work as the point of a blueprint is pretty much just to plop it down in a park

TERRIFIC use of the boomerang. Really made the coaster's 2nd half stand out, and feel totally unique from the 1st half.

"hi I'm channel5, I'm too lazy to do basic terrain work to optimise a coaster, don't do subterranean coaster, cause I'm a lazy piece of human"

[Stuntman]

Its a good coaster but it really requires terraforming which was prohibited in the rules.

[anthonyellis]

Its a shame that you visibly crash into the ground, otherwise it would be a great coaster.

[jayjaygolden]

Really disagree other solutions would be better. Id rather do the terraforming than have to trick people into thinking theres a hole there or whatever. Sounds like itd be a really jarring transition that way.
