Well, time for a change of pace, big time.

I give you, the land of Cimmeria, and its main attraction, Xaltotun:

[Eh!Steve!]

The ride looks pretty good. I'm not really getting hooked by the cobra roll's legs being that close together. I think they should be spread out more if space will allow.

BTW, Emergo, I was able to do this:

May be you could try to place the tallest satues in the middle, may be even with a 1/4 block under them, and then going to lower in the corners, so that the height of the statues is following the roof-line

...and it looks much better with the statues following the roofline now. But I was not able to do this:

Also the background (behind the statues) could use something very subtle: may be just stacked fences in the same colour-tone as the mud. (both in my Acropolis Revisited and in Moscow Kremlin Medley I used these kind of roofs, different, but they could give inspiration)

...because the background (behind the statues) was aligned on the 1/4 tile edge, not the tile edge, and hacking them in there with zero clearances would have been a royal pain in the butt.

^ Oh, good

And yes, hacking in all those pieces ........ obviously not worth it.

New screens:
Looking nice and very vivid/lively, while pleasant at the same time. seems to be full with rides and shops too ( )
Love how the coaster is going over and through it, and I really like what you did with the placing of the 2 loops; don't know why, but they make me laugh..in a positive way.

(The only minor thing I don't like is the use of rock-walls higher up: not that it looks ugly, but it always strikes me as a bit weird to use that texture so in-between, personal of course and not an important thing).

Nice work again and the park seems to be coming along very good !

You mean using them as the upper trim, at the roofline? I see your point there, it does strike me as unrealistic now that I think about it. Ill look for an alternative piece there, thanks

At first sight, I thought it was Herren-Surge...maybe the colors confused me. Anyway, the architecture is ok, I think that the structures are ok, but there's something on them that I don't like, specially on Xaltotun's station, it just looks too simple, and kinda boring; if I were you, I'd make some changes on the color selection and I'd add some more details. What I like is the building which is next to it, the walls with those bricks fit very well.
The coaster is nice, it seems that you know what elements to use and combine, but the layout it's kinda short...I'd have liked to see something a little bit longer.
Anyhow...this park is going well, looking forward to seeing more. Keep going RE.

@ RCFanB&M
I think you are the first person to like my use of mintliquer's walls (I personally love their use here), and the first to tell me one of my coasters is too short! I was really surprised by that comment, cause usually I nurse every last bit of momentum out of my coaster designs, but in this case I left it alittle short to be more realistic.
