    Congratulations to Corkscrewed and Kumba who will face off in the Elite 8. Kumba pulled off a monster upset with the defeat of the legendary x-sector. Meanwhile, Corkscrewed displayed his best showing of the tournament for him, and possibly his best work ever, in a easy victory over Kevin's unfinished ride, a ride that may have been absolutely mindblowing if finished. Well, thanks to Kevin and x-sector, both showed up always to try their best, and it's greatly appreciated. And good luck to Cork and Kumba in the finals!

    I really like mine to be honest, and I think it has a great chance for being best of round, honestly.

    X had some really nifty colossal architecture, with great classical pediments and capitals and stuff. It reminded me of Carnac at bit, with the temple built into the cliff. A nice showing, though definitely not X's best. In fact, I sort of like Gothica better.

    Kumba, wow! Pretty cool! I like the Gwazi-esque woodies with the explosions and stuff, and it was pretty cool that you had a crashing coaster that still had ratings. Nifty stuff there. Theming is a little messy, but that's okay given the theme. Still, you'll have to do better than that against me... unless I just have no time. :p But seriously, great job. You deserved the win over X. More effort and better coaster.

    Kevin... wow... nifty cBass-esque space work! Idea isn't new, of course, but the execution was marvelous. I see what Iris is talking about... had this been finished, it easily might have blown my park out of the water simply out of its innovation. Great work here... that coaster is just wickedly fast and intense. Nice work! (now go work on the collabo! :p)

    Corky, not only was yours the best of this group, but it was the best work you've ever done imo. Simply incredible!
  • Metropole%s's Photo
    Corky-I agree with Toon on this. It got my vote for best of round, and it was definately your best work. Those cranes and hole drillers were suberbly executed and the landscaping and foliage was exceptional. I also loved the bridge by the waterfall. Awesome work.

    Kevin-Damn, if you'd finished this, i'd have been blown away. This had the potential to be absolutely amazing, I just hope you finish it as a future project.

    X-Sector-I actually really enjoyed this entry. It had a very legendary very to it, the woodies were excellent, and the landscaping was top notch. I can only feel that it would have benefitted from more colours in there besides brown. But excellently done nonetheless

    Kumba-Hm......a little farfetched on the idea front. Dinosaurs with flying machines? WTF? The woodies had ok layouts, with some awkward sections. I like the crash at the end, but I don't know how you managed to get ratings on them? Although the ideas were farfetched, the execution was excellent and that dinosaur tank thing was great. Nice work, but I prefered your previous entry.

    well done Kumba told you, you deserve it more than me. I'm glad Kumba went through really as I will admit I wasn't very focused with this competition. all my entrys where done in 3 or less days and Kumba really tried hois best. Congrats.

    Also congrats to corky I'll give feedback of the entrys when I have looked at them
  • Kumba%s's Photo
    Kevin - Great idea, just something like that is very hard to do in only a few weeks as im sure you now know. If you can finish that you most likely will get another design. ;)

    X-Sector - Wow, boy did I get lucky, that was awsome, the archy and use of Toon Land blocks was amazing, but the coaster not makeing its rateing may have hurt you a bit, tho the layout is still very nice. I can't wait to see more work from you in the future.

    Corky - Great entry, so much creative themeing too. I did find the ride a bit hard to follow, but you pulled it off well. Now if only you can try new themes! :p

    About my entry, It is not a Gwazi clone, altho it is inspired by it and my PT final park. see one day I was reading the replys about how the park did not "flow", so I thought to myself "What if I made all the themes into one" that would be Dinos haveing a war in hell, so I kinda did that here to theme the woodies here. (No hell tho) I was going for a kinda Dino Digs meets Battlefeild look, but I did get a bit lazy in the end and skip an idea or 2, so you don't get as much action as it could have had, but still I think its my best entry yet and some of my best overall work yet.

    Corky - Yeah I did need to do some hacking for it to still have reatings, that was EZ, but what I forgot to do was make it "Fixable" and by that I mean you could repire each coaster in one click (ok, well 3 :lol: ) yes that does not sound possable but its hard to explane, I think I "could" have done it tho..

    Metro - I don't understand how it being "farfetched" is a bad thing, and for the record the primate slaves made that plane :p And also imo the coasters had really good layouts, Deuling woodies are not EZ but I thought I did a good job, tho they only really meet 4 or 5 times.

    I look foward to some more feedback and I hope you all enjoy the park.

    Kevin - Amazing! The coaster isn't bad, but the theming is just... wow. However, it looks like this would just be a sort of upgraded version of cBass' Infestation At Outpost 23, and if it is, well, it's not original at all. It's just a copy, more or less. I've had the idea a space thing like this or cBass' but with a twist for a long time, even before cBass built his entry, but because I didn't built it before cBass built his, I never intend to build it because the whole space concept is, in my opinion, too specific and too large. Of course I can't expect you to think the way I do, and I'm sure no one has a problem with it, just expressing my thoughts on it.

    Corkscrewed - OMG, how did you have the time to do this? And I thought Kevin's was amazing.
    This is simply incredible, as Toon put it. I won't go into detail about the things I liked, that would take to much time, and I'm sure it will take me many more looks at this to find everything. Just, incredible.
    The only thing I was a little bit annoyed about was the landscaping, didn't like all the sloping land that suddenly turned into steep cliff walls, that looked a bit strange. Best entry of the round, so far.

    I'll comment on the other entries soon.

    I thought Kumba's idea was pretty damn creative, and there were lots of little details like the Carnivore battle plan and the cave in the side of the mountain that I really enjoyed.. I thought it was well executed, and the tanks and flying machines were pulled off well too.

    Corky's entry was just ridiculous. The drill was incredible, and the architecture and atmosphere were among the best I've seen. Damn good job to you, Corky. I hope to see more like this from you in the future.
  • Titan%s's Photo
    Wow, some awesome entries this round.

    Oh my Goddess
    Very solid entry IMO. I actually preferred it to Kumba's, as the architecture was incredible, and the coaster was nothing short of great. The only downfall was the lack of color. I can't wait to see an area like this full of color.

    Primal Apoccalypse
    A little jumbled up for my taste, but I really liked the tank. I don't really think the colors were clicking too well, but congrats on the win none-the-less.

    Infected
    HOLY CRAP. This has to be one of things I've most enjoyed looking at ever. Everything was superb, albeit the coaster wasn't quite up to par with the amazing-everything-else, but still, what was there rocked. I think I'd crap myself if I saw this thing finished without warning.

    Paleos Bay Mine Ride
    WOW. Best RCT2 matchup of the contest yet. This has to be one of my favorite entries. About 304 x 10-to the eighth times better then the last IMO. LOL. Everything about this entry rocked. I especially loved the super cool looking bridge. Very nice entry, I just hope all your work keeps going up hill from here.
  • Jacko Shanty%s's Photo
    Cork: This was stunning. Some of the best RCT2 work I've ever seen. Everything just fit and flowed perfectly. And those cranes were just.. wow. I was never a fan of your other work, but this totally changed my mind. You are amazing, and I hope you build a full park like this in the future. So many details! This must have taken forever, good job!

    Kumba: Great entry.. but nothing really different from anything else you've made. It was a lot like your dinosaur entry in your PT. Still though, some amazing ideas pulled off beautifully. You can really find unique ways to fit scenery together into amazing things. The coasters were cool, but a bit hard to follow. My only real complaint with this entry was the lack of architecture.. that's just personal preference though. Good work!

    Kevin: Um.. yeah, this was completely unexpected. Simply incredible! I don't think it was anything like cBass', other than the stars underneath it. I loved the 1/4 block pointy finger things! So cool.. and this would have made RCT history if completed. Nice..

    X-Sector: Not bad.. but it's all in one color! Originally, this was how I planned Odeon. All in one solid color. But you obviously pulled it off better than I ever would have. Not my favorite of the round, but still a solid entry.

    Nice round.. one of the stronger ones. :)

    Paleos Bay Mine Ride by Corkscrewed - Holy fuck was this amazing. By far and away the best mine theme I've ever seen in RCT2. Everything from the cascading waterfalls, to the beautiful coaster bridges to the authentic-looking drill....it all just came together in a stunningly beautiful way. I spent the longest amount of time looking at this of all the entries.....WOW! This exemplifies what RCT2 parkmaking is all about. Nice job Corky!

    Primal Apocalypse by Kumba - A theme that only someone like Kumba could conjure up. The opening exploding / extinction sequence was done nicely and really drew me into the park. The dueling coasters were well-designed and quite smooth. The theming itself was awesome, especially that dino-tank thing, but I found some parts either confusing or sloppy. Still, an incredible entry that took you to the next round. Nice job.

    Infected by Kevin - Loads of potential. I would of loved to see this finished, but with the complexity involved with that kind of toonblock work, I don't blame you for not completing this in the allotted amount of time.
  • Janus%s's Photo

    Originally, this was how I planned Odeon.  All in one solid color.

    Hey, that's interesting, I did the same thing for my Atlantis entry, and then I coloured it similarily to yours, without knowing it, of course :lol:

    Anyway...

    X-Sector - Wow, very impressive. I liked all the brown, it gave it an aged feel, like it was the remains of a greater time (the ruins helped to achieve this effect)... Reminded me of the LOTR movies a lot, so that's good. I'm amazed at how you managed to make it so huge and yet pay attention to all the small details, without overdoing it. That's what really made this cool, in my opinion. However, the coaster didn't really seem to be a part of the rest of the entry...

    Kumba - Very nice, not as impressive as X's at first but once I looked more closely I saw all the little touches that since Darwood Grove really has been what makes your parks so nice. Even if the basic concept of the park was a lot like Battlefield RCT but expanded (not sure if that's a good thing or not, in one way, Battlefield's amazing and more like it can't be a bad thing, but on the other hand, it might be a bit uncreative. Maybe it's just me). Loved the dino war concept anyway (go Herbivores :p ), the mix between ancient stuff and technology was really nice and allowed for some really fun ideas. It sort of reminded me of some strange old comic book/toy series.
    I liked the dueling woodies, they were very cool even if the layouts was a bit strange in some points, and finally we know why the dinosaurs went extinct!

    Best round so far, I think. I vote for Corky's entry.
  • Hevydevy%s's Photo
    I absolutely loved Primal Apocalypse. It was a freakishly creative idea using a theme that is not nearly used enough. I thought Corky's was pretty good. The scenery was amazgin, but I thought the ride lacked a little. Oh My Goddess was a nice return to X-Sector's original style before he went all Mala. Kevin's would have been amazing, but oh well. Great round guys.

    I can't believe I'm bumping a 13 year old park but Primal Apocalypse and Paleos Bay Mine Ride are fucking awesome.
