    Hurricanes' Park looks stunning! Have to see it ingame though.

    TBH i didn't like either park, they were both dead.

    Minutemen at least had some movement in the coasters so i watched them for 4 minutes, and then i opened up Hurricanes nd thoight is this a joke? Seriously absolutely nothing happened, i know its a bbandoned but you could of had some guests and had the coasters running or something.

    ^you fucking idiot. it's abandoned. guests? coasters? honestly...

    our park is bloody good. really great details, good ideas, and well followed through which i appreciate. the lab tour especially, brilliant new use of scenery, and that crashed spaceship is brilliant. :D

    hurricanes, your park held me for a long time. great idea, never seen that done before, and definitely never done better. great use of frozen staff again, really makes looking through the park interesting. i loved the thought that went into every broken scenery piece.

    should be a good match.

    ^ Well sorry for having an opinion, i just said that a park with nothing in it seems boring to me as i'm used to peeps, calm down man.

    from the overview it seems like I love the minuteman park. but I have to look at them ingame first.

    I really like our final outcome here. I think my only problem I still have with it are the dull colors of the coasters but that's easy to look over. The major highlights for me are the interior to the lab coaster and the BioDome, I thought that was really clever way of throwing some green in a desert park. Oh, and the shooting down of the alien coaster is brilliant but tough to catch if you don't know it's coming.

    Hurricanes

    Brilliant idea here, and I haven't downloaded it yet but it looks like it was executed fairly well too. I love the layout for the woodie even though I'm sure it doesn't run, and the cars ride in the corner looks really well done as well. I think something the parkmakers did perfectly in the park was the foliage, you executed the overgrown look very well, nice job with that. I can't see the beach archy from here but I suspect it'll be good going off the rest of the park, only thing is, beaches don't just close down like amusement parks do, I think you should have left it open and cleaned that part up and had peeps or towels or something there to make it seem still open. Anyway, overall it looks great and good luck with in the match up.
    Oh yeah, and I think you got the wet and dry sand backwards ;)

    And another one - great matchup guys!

    Delta Desert Base:
    I didn't really understand the park that much. Sure, it's some sort of secret-area51 aliien military science base, but I didn't get the coasters. I thought the alien was escaping the base and the jet coaster is trying to catch it again, am I right? The duel was good, but not perfect imo. The 1/4 tile landscape was a bit too excessive for my taste, but kudos for doing those - must have taken pretty long to get them look that way. The other coaster was good, although the lifthill was a bit too fast. I liked the interior of the lab. But what I liked most in the park were the little planes, tanks and the little UFO - really well done. But all in all the park looked rather dull and lifeless. I don't know what you could have done to achieve a more lively atmosphere though, as I think peeps would look out of place and more rides and such on the surface would look too crammed. Maybe a secret underground lab would have been a good idea? Still, it was a nice park congrats on this one!

    Renaview Bay Park:
    From the overview I thought it'd be boring and just a tame follow-up to Belmont shores. But it was different. The whole park looked nearly sad and oppressive somehow. haha. The pool with the green water and plants, the fallen-down signs, the graffiti on the walls, the broken-off pieces of wood, the oscillating coaster train and the spider webs. I loved the whole idea behind having some sort of 'ghost park' with shady people all over the place. Really great. I loled at the suicidal person on top of the coaster, the bathing hobo in the well or the serial killer with the body bag. Great ideas! I can imagine how glamorous the park looked like in the golden times. Sky rocket must have been kick-ass! If the park was 'fresh and clean' it would be definately half as good as it is right now. haha. And I bet someone in the community will sooner or later renovate the park in the near future...!

    I have to say if the Minutemens Park had a lot more content in it, I'd be very worried. The execution of your ideas was amazing I just wanted so much more of it! I like the space theme you went for but it didn't have to be that bare. Look at Ed and gee’s park in h2h4. They had a lot of big space but it was filled up a lot better with real interesting content. The two coasters were awesome but I really missed a few other rides.

    The main coasters where the alien crashed were nice. The amount of smoke really made that element stick out and I loved the concept of the coaster. Also the run through an adventure lab really made an exciting ride into a pretty badass layout. After that the rides just weren’t their and they were by far the best part of the park.
    The sculptures were genius and pulled off to perfection. Nice park to look at but I think ours is superior in the overall concept, depth of building and general architecture. I’m not being a hard-ass because I’m a hurricane but I honestly feel this theme could have been a real contender for Best Park this season if you could have developed the theme more.

    Hurricanes
    Our park amazes me. What a fresh new take on a realistic park. You guys have worked so hard to create such a stunning piece of work. I loved the whole of the pool structure, the perfection that building holds (or should I say imperfection :p) is just real mind-blowing stuff. The boards on the windows, the bird shit on the rooves were just such a nice element.
    Loved how you made the woodie do that. I didn't see that in the last version of the park I saw so it just made it better.

    I found myself looking at our park a lot more even though I'd seen it twice before. The entertainers gave so much to the park. The undercover cop hidden in the corner of one of the buildings, the serial killer having made a home in an old ride was just too good to be true. Also the drunken teenagers stumbling on the top of the roof were top notch. The arsonist as the handyman carrying his tool box as if to suggest gasoline! It was all just really clever stuff.

    The whole of the park is incredible. Such a nice take on this sort of theme, it makes me feel sad in a way that some theme parks are like this now.
    Stunning park Canes, I'm ridiculously proud how consistently good our parks have been.

    No you didn't say "a park with nothing in it seems boring to me". You said, as shown above, that you know it's an abandoned park, but you would have preferred guests in this closed, abandoned park (why?) and coasters running (again, why?).

    I liked the pursuit idea in the Minutemen park and the rock work and landscaping was pretty nice. But other than that it didn't have much else to offer, in a way. The other ride wasn't bad, but it wasn't really convincing either.

    Hurricanes had a great idea. I've never seen anything quite like this. It's definitely original. And you've incorporated so many details that tell the story of the park that the concept becomes very alive and impressive. That is what made me decide to vote for you.
  • Buckeye Becky%s's Photo
    Voted Hurricanes, although neither park did much for me.
    For godssakes, who lets Kumba do a readme? The park barley stands? 50 acers of land? :lol:
    I think the other park had a good idea but just didn't execute it very well.
  • Louis!%s's Photo
    Voted Minutemen.

    I loved the whole idea. And the shooting down of the alien was fab. Whilst there wasnt an amazing amount to look at, what was there was superb and that is why it got my vote.

    Hurricanes - Again I loved the idea, all the details inside were fantastic, the green water, the boarded up windows. It was really really good, I just felt that the Minutemen's park was slightly better.

    I did not do the read-me :p

    Minutemen your park is pretty neat, just it seems more like a design then an H2H park. The duel is great, I really liked that, just the ending... well I have done it myself so I can't complain that much. What I thought was missing was architecture, the park really did not have any, but with the theme I guess you can get away with that. A plus was the helicopter and some of the other small planes. Imo like a 7.1/10

    I really liked our park. You might look at the screens and be like "Oh I guess they used trash and puke objects", but no, ITS REAL, oh and don't ask how it got on the rooves :D About time we see this concept done I'll give you an 8/10. Great work guys :mantis:

    Minutemen:

    When I first looked at the aerial, I figured it would be a sure fire win for me, but after looking at it close-up, it seemed to lack in atmosphere. The coasters were pretty cool, it just seemed too bare for me. I also really liked the rock work as well.

    Hurricanes:

    Absolutely beautiful. I really liked the abandoned look the park had. I liked what I believe to be bird crap on top of the half burnt building. The green water throughout the pool was an awesome touch too.

    Overall, Hurricanes won me over.

    Hurricanes park was just too original not to vote for. I've never really seen anything like this before. Everyone's already mentioned the little touches (the green water, burnt roller rink, overgrown foliage, grass coming up through the cracks in the path, the garbage, etc.) but what really did it for me was the drunk teenagers haha. It kind of gave me a whole new perspective of the park, as even now that it's abandoned, it's still attracting people for whatever reasons. I love that a majority of what was there was left operational, just not actually operating. If you really wanted to, you could sneak into that place at night and find the switch for the wild mouse and go for a ride. You might not have as much luck with Sky Rocket though ;). On that note, I thought the swaying train was funny, but kind of odd as even if the park closed down with a valleyed train still on the track, it would take one hell of a wind storm to get it rolling back and forth again. I think the pool was probably the best of the dilapidated attractions, though. There actually used to be a small abandoned amusement park in Scranton that I usued to see all the time with two abandoned swimming pools and they looked very similar. Cool park. That's where my vote's going.

    I really couldn't get into the Minutemen's park at all. It was just one of those parks that didn't seem sure of itself. Like, the alien and jet pursuit were obviously representations of an "event." Then, why even bother supporting the track? All realism is lost when the alien blows up. It just didn't make any sense to me. The lab tour coaster I actually found to be really impressive. I wish the rest of the park had been more like this, then I could have seen it as more of a matchup. Oh well. Not a bad park by any means. I just found myself a bit confused.

    what I believe to be bird crap on top of the half burnt building



    yay^^




    Minutemen: I thought the coasters were pretty nice, especially the 4D. And the spaceships and the copter were really really nice. Great usage of the possibilities here.

    But as already said, there was just not enough to draw the attention. While the rock formations were nice, but yet repetitive, the foliage was kind of a letdown. I know that this park is supposed to be in a desert-ish landscape, but that doesn't have to imply the shrubbery.

    All in all, it was a nice concept, the alien chase was a neat concept, although I think it could've been executed better with more time and place and other/better/new cso's.



    The writeup of my team's park is going to be edited into this post, I'm just on my way to the gym ^^

    The Hurricanes park is embarrassingly bad. Seriously, when the builders are revealed I'll sure I'll lose all respect for them.

    How about you back up your statement or people will just think you're an idiot.
