The story of the park is long and drawn out - Mick was the first to build, beginning with the entrance area and parking lots. It's a trend for realistic rct2 parks to have large car parks, access roads and entrance complexes, and Acorn Springs is no exception - luckily the craft with which these amenities are included means they do not bore the viewer. Mike was the first to build a proper area, contributing the 'Gloucester Woods', a heavily forested area with a main avenue of buildings and attractions. Next to go was Toon, creating the 'Black Forest' in homage to the well known area in the south of Germany. Shown below is the castle he built which, as Kai's readme points out, only hinted back then at what was possible with TT's own 1/4 tile blocks.

Kai was next to go, making the eclectic 'Thistle Wood Falls' area - it is slightly out of keeping with the traditional theme of the rest of the park, but what else could we expect from rct's own pastel guru? The architecture is fun and challenging, and the attractions are quaint as ever - but the landscaping and water use really stand out. 'Weevil', especially, continues the tradition of quirky rides that Kai always manages to dream up. Kai was followed by rwadams, who took the place of the currently absent Judge. Roger added the carefully crafted 'Acorn Springs Raceway', as well as the wonderful 'Ardennes' area (below), with authentic architecture and thrilling rides - 'Sabotage' in particular shows off his improving coaster skills. However, the buildings hog the limelight; Roger's buildings are always both austere and inviting, and this area is just another in a big range of styles he has taken on.

Mick was the last to go, adding the tranquil 'Gairloch' area which is home to a very snazzy B&M called 'Helmsdale Falls'. He must have been glad that the park was finished, but it still took Kai over 3 months to finally send it into NE for this award. It is thoroughly deserving of this title, though, and continues the success of the RCT Masters in producing quality parks with alarming consistency. With several impressive projects in the making (Master's Pallete, Nascar) the Masters are set to continue their role as one of the leading clubs in the community. Well done guys.
