- Best RCT2 Player -

Kumba

He has four silvers, six designs, two golds, a spotlight, a micromadness victory, lots of H2H wins and several cool guest spots and group efforts in his portfolio. He captained his H2H team to victory two times. He's currently #2 in the hall of fame, approaching #1 closer and closer. His crazy style may not appeal to everyone, but it's impossible to deny that Kumba is a RCT legend. Although this may spark some controverse, we think Kumba deserves the gold medal here with his seemingly endless creativity and productivity. We cannot wait to see you use those skills to get your second spotlight, because honestly, one spotlight is poor for 'the best RCT2 player of all time'.

Cedarpoint6

In second place we encounter Cedarpoint6. He doesn't release much, but when he does, it not rarely revolutionises the game in some way or another. He didn't invent the realism genre, but he certainly pushed the boundaries with Kayte Ridge, Watkins Woods Amusement Park and Six Flags Carolina. Many people try to imitate his style and technique, but by doing that they're always one step behind Cedarpoint6 who keeps innovating the genre with every release. With smaller creations like Firefly and Snowdrift Cedarpoint6 has proven that he's skilled with theming as well. Cedarpoint is avant garde, and arguably the most influential player of the last five year.

Turtle

He didn't make this top 3 because his style is so realistic, detailed or refined. Nor are his coasters so strong to justify this spot. What makes Turtle such an incredible player is his skill to create intense, immersive, original, well composed atmospheric themes of unmatched beauty. Turtle can come away with not giving a coaster custom supports. Having won two spotlights in 2004 and 2005 and since releasing smaller works at a constant rate, ever inspiring the community, Turtle is a NE institution.

I'd have Turtle and Kumba the other way round, but I can see why this way was chosen.

Grats Kumba!

Hard choices, I was expecting to see geewhzz, J K, robbie, or 5dave in the list and didn't see any of them, but then looking at the three that were chosen I'd say all three definitely deserved to be in the list too.

Agreed.

I love Kumba and Turtle, CP6 is great but his work is just not my style.

Phatage!?!?!?!! the fuck!?!?!?!

where's geewhzz?

-disneylhand

Jup. Where is Geewhzz... JK could be in there as well. So many people are good.

uhm, where the hell is JKAY on this list?

LOVE jkay, my god the color, but not sure he is an all-time great as his color tended to block out alot of other aspects.

putting in my very few cents, id put 5dave at 1, just the mass of fantastic, detailed, well planned work. I'd follow up with Emergo, a player i couldn't get enough of, alas she stopped playing. Same with RCTFan, though i think he was probably the most detailed player there was. ...maybe, actually, replace RCTFan with Turtle, because, you know, Turtle is Turtle, and, ya know, Turtle.....

meh, hummumm, rumble....

^I can actually see a hint of Emergo in your work when I think about it.

Tbh, I'm surprised people aren't raging that Robbie isn't on here.

Guys there's only room for 3 in a top 3.

I think geewhzz would make #1 if he released something big.

robbie wouldn't even cross my mind trav, he's way overrated and too 'new'

I know JJ, but I could just see a lot of the newer players hailing Robbie because he's probably the best new player, so he's leading the bunch

I miss geewhzz in this, I mean cmon people, lenox mall and belmont may be group parks in a h2h contest and all but still it's undeniable where the genius is those parks came from, it's a different type of play and one that hasn't been rivaled ever since he stopped showing us stuff

Gwazi, except for GeeWhzz, those players are kinda one-sided and mostly active over the last years.

Kumba though, a fantasy player that proved to be amazing at realism with Kumba.
Cedarpoint6, is one of the biggest inspiries for quite a lot of the latest releases (as the write up said )

I personally kinda miss RRP but then again he won a price in the top 3 for LL already ;p

Haha I totally agreen with you that JKay is the god of color, loving his style.
NE is full of genius.

NE is full of genius.

Yeah I think so too. It's REALLY hard to say who's the best.

for me, the best RCT2 player is RCTNW!
I like the other players but RCTNW for me is the best!

Wow this is pretty cool! I can understand why Kumba is number 1, definitely deserved. Living proof that perseverance pays off. So many players could also have made the top 3...

-geewhzz- actually revolutionised the game, which is very cool
-JK- two spotlights, and one of the best parks ever
-robbie- will probably be the best player ever with a couple more releases
-5dave- one massive spotlight and he's definitely a legendary player... probably the most skilled all round player there is

And probably more i've missed out, sorry guys.
