NE Olympics '16 / June 23rd: Pentathlon

I see. I didn't make the connection, because the Joker doesn't seem to have any 'powers' and the other rides were either themeless, nameless or named after a whip. I think it's a very very weak connection to be honest.

it is, I agree. The dark ride is supposed to be Justice league battle for metropolis if you didn't know. That is where the "powered" beings are more so than the other rides. I do understand and grasp the concept of the grass and it makes sense. I might revisit it to finish some day but not for a while.

Coaster Rica - Broadrock Village
First of all, the park does not remotely justify such a lengthy readme, describing every single tree (family tree included) and path and coaster element.

 

I don't believe that. Every park, no matter how big and how good, deserves the attention and the love of the builder. I really enjoyed writing the readme, even more than building the park and as far as I'm concerned, the history of the park is as important to me as the end product.

I second this notion. I think the readme also represents how far you have come as a builder. Before your entry I never thought you be showing anything on NE, but here we are. 

Canyons Carts and Coasters - This was definitely the winner for me. It had a fun atmosphere to look through and a lot going on. Supporting the wooden coaster was probably a pain but it made it stand out compared to the other entries coasters. If I had to complain about something in the park it would probably be that the amphitheater seemed sort of thrown in there compared to the rest of the park. 

 

Thessaly - I loved this entry too. The wooden coaster and statue were really cinematic and pulled off great. I also think this entry had the strongest dark ride of the competition. The lack of guests and puke dropped it into second place for me though. 

 

Broadrock Village - This park was great just lacking the wow factor of the best two. It seemed really nice and clean and the readme showed that you had a clear vision that you executed.

 

DC Comic Plaza - I thought this was a really well made park. The coaster and dark ride facade were definitely the highlights. Doing this in three days is phenomenal. I probably liked the park a bit better than Broadrock but it didn't fit the criteria nearly as well so I probably would rank it below due to that.

 

Arrow mania's entry error trapped every time for me unfortunately so I can't review it.

 

My entry was a learning experience for me. I'm happy I was able to get an entry in even as unrefined as it was. I really didn't have any vision for the park besides the coaster and cliff and I think that showed. I definitely appreciate the criticism from everyone and hope my next entry will improve!

Thessaly This was my favourite entry. Clear theme executed pretty well. Was not a big fan of the cliffs, but I loved the coaster, the sculpture and the architecture. Cool ideas overall. It could use a bit more refinement and some parts looked a bit unfinished (like the platform the sculpture is on).

Canyons, Carts and Coasters Beatiful execution, good concept, but lacked that original/fun aspect in my eyes. But it absolutely deserves some points. Entry #2 for me. 

Broadrock Village Not bad, but the architecture was a bit too repetitve and the colours a bit too random and weird. But good stuff overall! 

DC Comic Plaza I'm not a fan of superhero themes, and most of the five aspects were executed a bit too lazy. The content is not too bad though, cool coaster and cool dark ride facade. Try to develop your own style a bit more, right now all your work looks a bit too random. 

Arrow Mania Kept getting error trappers, but looks unfinished from the overview, so I wouldn't have voted it #1 or #2 anyway. Glad to have teams like this though, keep building! 

 

Edit:
Forgot Fiesta Cliffs. Cool ideas and it shows you have a creative mind. If you manage to refine your ideas a bit more, you could release some cool stuff in the future!
 

Sorry for the double post, but can the people that voted for Arrowmania's and kingdom of Ni's entries as number one explain their choices? 

Especially Arrowmania's one since it's unfinished. What made you decide that that entry was better than all others? 

I'm asking because I really hate people voting unfairly or tactically.
