    Congrats Cork. Should have put more effort in my buildings but I was leaving the next day and wasn't back still Monday.

    I'm gonna go with Edge of the World by penguinBOB. That ride truly stood out. To me, it was the only one that was properly paced, even though it had a lot of lifts. It was still a great ride, with great atmosphere. The buildings were great too. Awesome job, can't wait for your next entry.

    I would have gone with Corkscrewed's but there were several things holding it back. Right off the bat, I knew it was Corkscrewed's park because of the color selection. :p Anyway, I loved the first half; it was so realistic. I was thinking, "wow this is great." But then two things threw it off for me. The finale drop, straight down, and the the part where the boat goes across the path. That path part just confused me.
    .. I didn't like the vertical drop because it just seemed very out of character for that sort of ride. I know penguinBOB's had a fairly steep finale drop, but straight down no. On both rides you would need a new restraint system, but especially Corkscrewed's. I wouldn't want to see the restraints from Perilous Plunge put on Bigfoot Rapids, if you know what I mean and I think you do. ;) Yeah, it would be way too restrictive.

    Titan basically took the whole round for me.
    I loved how he used such detail on the waterfalls, and his buildings really are incredible. I liked the hacking, too.

    If you did a beemer, this bracket wouldn't have a chance. ;)


    Croky's was really cool too.
    Although a little boring nearing the end. I enjoyed the architecture and the cool serpent jumping out of the water. EXCELLENT foliage, by the way.

    pBOB's was neat too, I liked the concept behind it.
    And Kevin's was pretty cool, just don't make 8 minute long rapids ever again. :p

    edit: I say 'really' too much, lol.
  • Rct Flame%s's Photo
    Yeah...my entry was kinda half ass/bs'd "fuck buildings"...hence the name "My RCT Mental Breakdown".
  • Corkscrewed%s's Photo
    Yeah... to be honest I didn't really try. It was supposed to be more like a story than a realistic ride, obviously. I just used it to touch up some architecture styling and to experiment on stuff.

    HOWEVER, I will definitely have to bring out my game against Titan, who's got some skills. I overlook him and I'm a goner... unless I get lucky and he breaks both of his hands or something. :D

    So yeah... I'm only going to vote for myself because I want at least one vote instead of zero. :)

    EDIT: WTF? People voted for me??? Wow. Thanks!

    Yes, but rides can be realistic and still tell stories. I would have loved that. :)
  • the_legacy%s's Photo
    titan just got my vote. All the winners did well, I just thought Titan's was a little more orginal. Corkys was nice though.
    Gonna be interesting in the next round.

    Well done all
  • gymkid dude%s's Photo
    I voted for PBob's. Really tho, an excellent round. Corky's was great, Titan's was great, Kevin's was gorgeous, and even Flame's was better than advertised. Pick some new bushes tho, oh-ignited-one.
  • sloB%s's Photo
    Wow, PenguinBOB really surprised me with that beautiful entry. Excellent Job, got my vote.

    The rest were pretty good I'd say. Kevin's, while highly detailed was far too messy for my tastes, and as Corky shamelessy admitted, he didn't even try. Even still, I don't know if you two could have topped PenguinBOB's if you had tried. Awesome stuff guys.
  • Toon%s's Photo
    PenguinBob has officially solidified his spot as a contender in this competition. Nicely done!
  • Corkscrewed%s's Photo
    No seriously... why the fuck am I still winning?

    I'll give comments tonight. :)
  • Toon%s's Photo
    I worry that people vote by name without looking at the parks.
  • Titan%s's Photo
    Yeah, I knew I had the seed advantage, so I just threw something together on a whim, no real idea behind it.

    And Cork, I'm bringin' my A game next round...

    (BTW, I liked pBOB's the best. reviews a bit later.)

    EDIT: To all of you who said "If Titan's was finished...", well it actually almost was. About 90% on the dealine date, but I had already sent that version in, and Iris said not to bother with it... well here is the full DOWNLOAD


    Now my thoughts:

    pBOB:
    Very, very nice. It turned out great. I'm a sucker for mountainous landscaping and asian theming... :p

    Kevin:
    "Wow" is exactly what I said when I opened this. I partway thought it was a mixture of Helios and my Rapids all in one. Great job.

    Cork:
    I knew exactly who this one belonged to off the get-go. Had some exciting elements to it, like the statute in the corner and serpent. But the overall experience just was a litttle dull, and I'm positive it was due to the colors... loved the entry, just didn't love the colors...

    Well, good work everyone, and well done Flame in not getting swept. :p
  • Drew%s's Photo
    This was a close one for me.
    I really enjoyed them. I narrowed it down to two, and Kevin and Titan were those two. I went back and watched them, and Kevin's was just beautiful. Titan's was too, but Kevin's was just awesome looking.
    So, my vote goes towards Kevin.

    :)

    I got to be honest I was not to wild about BOB's....

    id say..

    1. Kevin - Awsome buildings, your archy is always creative, rapids were only ok tho
    2. Titan - If only it was bigger... Grate Rapids nice theming, tight race with Kevin imo.
    3. P_BOB - Nice, but I just was not that into it, great idea tho with the edge.
    4. Corky - Sop with the brown please! it was nice but that ruined it for me...

    ...and now the downloads don't work..

    I might be a little biased, but I think our little section had the best stuff. :D

    Penguin_BOB: I had a little feeling about you before we started H2H3 work. Dayam, that was amazing stuff. The landscaping was gorgeous, very Mala-esque, and I've never seen Japanese theming done so well! The only flaw, as people mentioned, were the lift hills, which broke down right before the raft got to it every time. :p However, I was HIGHLY impressed with this entry. Unbelievable and marvelous; this is great parkmaker quality work.

    Titan was exactly what I expected: Good stuff. Had he made more, he would have made my choice really, really hard. Titan's one of those underrated guys. No one really mentions him, but he's good. Really good. I wouldn't be surprised if he "upset" me.

    Kevin was pure, marvelous, beautiful Kevin work. I'm a confessed fan and sucker for that style, and the details were just beautiful. The landscaping was pretty good, and I loved the water effects and use of arches. This was great work.



    Ultimately, it would have been down to p-BOB and Kevin for me. Foolishly, though, I voted for myself before looking at the entries because I figured no one would vote for me (still can't figure that out... Toon's prolly right about the voting for name thing). Ultimately, I think I'll go with Kevin, but only because I opened it last, so it has the better lasting impression. Had I opened the Edge of the World last, that would have gotten my vote, honestly.

    If I end up beating Bob by one vote, I will cede the title to him, because I would have voted for him instead of myself. So if my one vote for myself ends up being the deciding vote, P-Bob can have the victory. He deserved it.

    Same applies to Kevin, but he's a bit further behind here.

    Awesome, awesome job, guys! You've floored me. I'm gonna have to work REALLY hard if I expect to advance to the third round!

    I voted for corky, mostly for the first half of the entry. The ideas were there, and they were well executed too. Close behind him was Titan IMO, but i gave it to corky mostly because it had a difference to the usual rapids.

    Btw, corky you need to sort out your merging, unless you wanted ghost track that shines through the water :p
  • Titan%s's Photo
    Edited my earlier post.... I knew I would end up in 4th... all in good fun. Good job guys.
