    Pretty close...both parks kinda did the same thing here. Both woodies were nice so I say they kinda cancel each other out, and the rest of the park is what gets examined. As for the Hurricanes, I thought the architecture was kinda bad...and it really flooded the park, which brought it down a bit. The big bridge was nice, but looked almost like...unneeded, like a gimmick to get some votes. Not to mention it's like twice as big as everything else in the park which doesn't really look right in my opinion.

    On the other hand, I think this was the Germans best park so far. The woody was very nice, well themed and landscaped in a nice, natural way...not overthemed, but not barren either. The woody also interacted with the landscape and theming better then the Hurricanes imo, and was just an overall better ride. Moving on, the architecture here was first of all...better, and secondly, it was creative. They really interacted well with the landscaping, as opposed to the Hurricanes architecture which was always just perched on top of the rocks instead of delving into them, as the Germans did. The colors were much easier on the eyes, and basically...just an overall better park all around imo. The more I look at them the less close I think it is.

    Good round though.

    I think that the overall poor architecture in the Hurricanes park. I also didn't like the first drop of their coaster either.
  • rK_%s's Photo
    great match up, but the hurricanes was a little bare and plain i thought.
  • Anolis%s's Photo
    I must say I don't like both parks.

    First the architecture in the Hurricanes one is better, okay it is a bit boring but the architecture in the Germans Park looks like every little house is separate from the others. (I hope you understand me)
    The landscape was also better in the Hurricanes Park.
    The woodies were both very nice imo

    and so my vote goes to the Hurricanes

    After looking at them both in game I must say I voted my team for more than just bias. The only thing interesting in the Hurricanes park was the island and the bridge leading to it. The woodie was strange, the layout just didn't flow, at all...

    On the other hand I spent longer looking at Cliffs Of Utopia even though I'd tested the park, and so I'd seen some of the stuff before (obviously I couldn't of built in it, I went last week). Amazing... Just so beautiful and relaxing with the music. On top of that it has that go cart track and river ride to back up the wooden coaster.

    Alright, first "cliffs of utopia". Truley a beautiful park. The way the architecture is built right into the mountains is lovely, really drives the atmosphere home. The go karts are pretty cool, and the flat rides fit in very well. Then, the woodie. The layout was pretty good. It wasn't the most "out of control" ride but it was very aesthically pleasing, which made me like it. But what the fuck is with that name? "Lush Valley Roar"? Kind of a strange name for a rollercoaster, or just about anything else. Ah well, really great work here.

    Then there was "La Barranca Roja Grande". At first glance at the overview I thought this was going to be a really good park, and strong contender against Cliffs of utopia. Once I opened it I was dissapointed. What I did like was the woodie, "Tantrum", which I thought had a great layout, great speed, great name, I loved it. Not as impressive as WME's "Caesus" but still, a great coaster. And the that bridge was neat. But that's about all I liked. The architecture was plain, most of the park was lifeless, and I hate the use of that red sand with the wooden sides, it just looks ugly and unrealistic to me. So with all it's shortcomings, I voted "Cliffs of Utopia"

    Wow. I'm impressed. I mean, i'm looking forward to knowing who made that park!

    Certainly the best park in H2H so far. Go Posix and co.

    Cliffs of Utopia got my vote in the end. The area with the waterfall and cliffside buildings did it for me, it looked like something out of Lord of the Rings. Good effot Germans.
  • muuuh%s's Photo
    i`ve voted for the Hurricanes La Barranca Roja Grande because, its a ok archy, and good atmosphaere.
    i dont like the other park, because the very small houses arent`t good for me.

    Voted vor Hurricanes.

    My vote goes to the Flying Germans because I'm on the team. Plus, I've been amazed by Cliffs of Utopia since they started it. Great job guys. Looks like another win.

    The FLying Germans park is truely gorgreous and it gets my vote this week.
    The woodie was awesome and it had an atmosphere rarely found in parks of this size well done

    The hurricanes park was nice. A bit bare but i really liked the little court yard area and the woodie was pretty good.

    my vote goes to the hurrcanes the architecture might be lame but still it still looks great. i couldnt help but notice what time most of these posts where written. wow.

    I thought this would be close by looking at both parks carefully, but apparently that isn't the case seeing as Utopia seems to be winning. I'll be honest, though, I didn't like the German's park as much as I did the Hurricanes'. Utopia just seemed random and messy to me. I mean, it's obvious who made it, so I can forgive since it's the builder's style. But the wooden coaster and the landscaping totally made up for the architecture. That stuff was nuts.

    The Hurricanes' did good here, and recieve my vote, since I enjoyed the architecture (it displayed the the theme well) and the bridge, even. Plus, the landscaping and wooden coaster were both brilliant.

    Good round.

    An intresting round.

    The germans park won my vote, the buildings were executed perfectly and the landscaping was brilliant. I thought the foliage could have been a little better and what ruined it most for me was the flowers, i really dont like unorginised flowers i think they should be constructed as gardens and flower beds etc.

    I didn't like the hurricanes park one bit, the coaster was very sloppy imo and had a very poor start and a very poor ending. The themeing was ok but not good enough it was very bland and boring. The landscaping in the park i did like, it just those wood sided land ruined it for me.

    Overall both parks were nice but the germans took my vote on this one. I just wish certain areas of the park were done a bit better, like the flowers for instance. ;)

    Good round.

    New to H2H? Check out the First Half Recap to get the scoop on what's been happening!

    very good that.
  • mantis%s's Photo
    I thought it was quite close, but there was more to the Germans' park so I voted for that. I did like that bridge a lot, though.
  • Corkscrewed%s's Photo
    Haha, I was afraid this would happen. Personally, they're very close to me, but even I (sorry Kumba!) would have to admit that CoU has a slight edge over The H2H Map With That Long Spanish Name. And apparently, though the parks are pretty close, most people lean toward the better one.

    I'll call the game later tonight. Just stopped by to check the score.

    I mean, it's obvious who made it, so I can forgive since it's the builder's style.

    Um, well you think it would be him, but its not. :p

    Our 2nd win of the season beats the undefeated Hurricanes... God that is strange. I'll take it though, we really needed the win and this is quite possibly the best park our team has put out so far (that one in week 2 was awasome as well though...).

    Yay for the beginning of a come back.
