    I live about 15 minutes away from London, if that. It doesn't look like London.

    Never have I said that you can still find original buildings of this style in London.
    (London Dungeon not counted of course)
    I have only said that the buildings (which I think they found dutch-looking), are pretty english buildings. This is more the village style of a couple of centuries ago. It's still used in london but I haven't seen a complete 'part' of London in this style.

    London 2012 Olympic Village:
    I thought we're seeing this idea sooner or later. I liked the park idea itself but there were things that confused me a little. First it seems that this park is set in the middle of London which is a bit strange because you had the landmarks of London inside a park of London itself. Kinda strange to me. The themed area with all the tudor houses was suggesting this is a themed city park but all the sport stadiums and the overall theme of the park is more about the olympic games. So the park is kinda suffering some sort of identity crisis. I think if you were just going for a leisure park that's situated near the REAL olympic park at London it would be a lot more convincing. So right now it's just a London themed park inside the city of London inside the olympic park of London. haha. I know you explained this all in your readme but still it makes no sense to me why there would be rides themed to London in London itself, sorry! But there were also things I really liked about the park: All the little details of the sport stadiums were really nice, the drug testing was a funny idea and the traffic really brought this park to life, although the trams could have used a little cable above, no? Although they didn't fit - the landmarks and the row of tudor houses were also nice. The rides were nothing spectecular but I liked the hacked Eurofighter, although it would have been better with a BBS. Including the olympic rings was a nice touch! The giant ferris wheel was also nice and it was working. The custom music also added a lot to it, the hymn and the Big Ben sound was really cool. The water ride looked kinda strange and bare and the water jets for visitor were facing the support structure rather the boats. All in all it was enjoyable and if it wasn't such a clutter of ideas it would have turned out amazing. Well done! Haha I still find that Olympic logo in general hilarous!

    Pixar Animation Studios:
    First the park looks like a mess when you open it, but if you go into detail and check out all the stuff it's really cool. Pity it's a bit unfinished though. The entrance is really amazing. I liked the idea of the ticket booth queue although it wasn't really new but it worked so well here. Also the monorail station was awesome and so was the iconic Pixar lamp on top of it. This Ferris wheel was amazing too, although the gaps while loading were not so appealing, but that's to only way to make it work I suppose. Remy's (;)) mural was nice but I don't understand why you hide the building behind. It could have been nice if there was the Restaurant facade with the sign for the peeps to see better. The mural looks like it was planned for a studio wall of some sort. I also think the mouse coaster itself hasn't really much to do with Ratatouille besides the name which is a shame, could have turned awesome right there! Also to bad for the Toy story area, I would've loved it if it was finished. : / The Monsters inc ride was really cool too. A guy I know drew ride concepts for a ride just like that, I wonder if you've seen those? Yeah the building was a bit too huge, so maybe a smaller scale layout would have been better for this. The Axiom didn't really remind me of the movie. I think there was missing a Wall.E ride and the ship reminded me more of the old Enterprise or something. Carls Escape was nice and simple. Perfectly fitting for the movie. The Finding nemo ride was a bit cheesy imo. It was much too intense and big for this kind of movie. And I didn't really liked Crush as station. The hacks were really awesome though, although the lift wasn't synched, was it? The fish tank with the cars track around it was great. Bruce looked awesome! The incredibles ride was also nice and well hacked, but I didn't like the headquarter building that much. The island setting would have been efficient enough imo. Cars and Bug Life were a bit crammed in but they were solid although nothing spectactular. The Ferris wheel was nice too although it didn't really fit the park as main landmark. And naming it after Steve Jobs was strange. I know he more or less founded Pixar but still his role wasn't that large in the company afterwards if I'm correct. All in all a great park with only the slight unfinishedness and the few cheesy/unfitting rides bringing it down. Awesome work!

    My vote goes to the Reservoir dogs!

    Vote: Reservoir Dogs

    Why? Even if the name dispute affects anything, I loved the different ideas put into the park. I thought that the turtle and the Wall-e parts were fantastic but the Incredibles part brought it down. Great park overall. The London Olympic Park just left me looking at the park for only 10 minutes and saying is that it? Seriously, some of the architecture was far off but the rides were nice. The theme was a good choice but there was not a whole lot to look at and say wow!

    Currently Hurricanes - 11, Reservoir Dogs - 9. Not including Brent or Gisejjes votes because they've said that they haven't viewed one/either of the parks in game. With those two votes it'd just be 12 - 10.

    Close match.

    Two extremely good parks. My vote goes to Pixar Studios by the Reservoir Dogs. I just loved all of the ideas.

    People, please read the read-me.

    Our park is NOT meant to be in central London as you know it, but how our team envisioned the newly build Olympic park to look like, with the addition of a fair. Some exact plans were not yet public when we started/building this park (such as that structure you posted gir) so our team just thought how it all would be nice to look like.
    All things are newly build and those landmarks are not supposed to be the real things but attractions in replicas.

    Just trying to clear things up..

    That line of flags is just wonderful.

    That was a hard decision for me. Both parks are really good work.
    The Pixar Studios include some awesome hacks and custom rides. Especially the Finding Nemo attraction was incredible with those lifts and the underwater stuff.
    Some of the architecture like the entrance building and the station of the wild mouse are good but many other buildings are to bare in my eyes.
    But the main problem is that the park is a bit unfinished.

    In the Olympics park from the canes is the arcitecture overall really good. But the tudor houses looking a bit like copy and paste. I also miss a bit the london feeling but thats ok. Good for me was that park contains a lot of interior of the houses.
    The London Eye is one of the best rct2 giant wheels ever and the other rides like the eurofighter are all good too.

    Overall i like the canes park more. So my vote goes to the Hurricanes!

    Reservoir Dogs - I am unable to open your park, missing .dat: CENABRU1/87324871 whatever. I see it in the .zip but it doesn't work even after I include it in my .dat folder. Help?

    I really liked both parks, and this was a tough decision for me!

    Reservoir Dogs:
    I really liked the idea, and especially the lift, which really adds something to the park. Most of the park is executed well, but it looked a bit unfinished in places imo.

    Hurricanes:
    Also a good park! The music fitted really good in the park. There a a lot of good details in it (McDonalds!). Lol at Attached Image: Naamloos.png
    Really good work, and executed good!

    My vote goes to the Hurricanes.

    try to drag and drop it manually. i had the same problem when i wanted to extract the objects into the folder. winrar just created a new folder inside my objdata folder with the new rides when i extracted them. so maybe try that. it should work really.

    i'm sorry about what i say, i really like both parks, but the Disney park have a bit more beautiful building details, and the rides are nice as well.

    About the Londen olimpics, the park looks really cool and there are verry much nice hacks on it ! but all at all, i see more interesting things at the park from Reservoir Dogs than at the one from Hurricanes,

    My vote goes to Reservoir Dogs

    Can someone send me the object "BUTTFLY"?

    Reservoir Dogs: I Don't know what to think. Amazing ideas ,that's for sure. The boat going underwater in a tunnel ,with sharks around was mad (in a good way). I think the waterslope was too high though. The boatlift was a crazy idea ,too bad that i didn't run synchronized with the boats (flying boats :???: ). I don't know if it would be possible to synchronize that btw.(I don't hack like that yet).I loved the Monorailstation with the arches ,only i didn't understand what that item was on top of the roof (it killed the structure a bit) .The ratface was also fantastic. That minicoaster was supported nicely ,but i couldn't help to wonder how the people are supposed to get down when the ride breaks down, since there are no stairs at the blocksections. In some places the park was unfortunately to crowded though and chaotic.

    Hurricanes: Nice work ,nice detailed architecture ,it was pleasent to look at ,but it didn't feel like a park. The traffic was a great idea, but sad to see everyone crashing in to each other (London traffic is dangerous), but i understand that synchronization of that would be impossible (probably). The stadium was nice. The ride inside the Big Ben was a funny idea. The rollercoaster was small though and I didnt like the watercoaster.

    Difficult desision.

    I didn't like both ferriswheels though, but the best of the two was in London. I might be a difficult job, but it just doesn't look realistic at all (but that's just me).


    My vote will be: Hurricanes.

    Well, this was an hard decision, but my vote goes to Hurricanes with "London 2012 Olympic Village", scores:
    - architecture *****
    - original ideas *****
    - layouts (attractions) ****
    - organization ****
    - atmosphere *****
    - scenery ************
    (scenery was so perfect, the cars, the buildings, everything!)
    The only thing that I didn't liked was the giant wheel, but otherwise, was all perfect!
