H2H8/8 / H2H8/8 Awards

Q & A

Q: How long does the voting last?
A: the poll closes Wednesday December 12th at 23:59 GMT.

Q: Will there be a ceremony?
A: No, there will not be a ceremony.

Q: My favourite hasn't been nominated! The list is biased!
A: We're sorry, it's impossible to please everyone. We assembled a small panel do to the nominations to ensure the selection was as fair as possible.

Best Park: Gotta be Mongo Tropica

 

Best Coaster: I'm partial to Firestorm, but I think Toreador deserves this.

 

Most Nostalgic: This one is slightly difficult to parse. Emerald Heights probably makes me feel the most nostalgia but nothing like it would ever have been built during H2H1. I think Hidden Kingdom looks most evocative of that era, if a little more technically refined.

 

Best LL Talent: I think unquestionably bsg here.

 

Which team should win H2H8/8? We did get the most wins, and also the highest win rate... I suspect TropicaLL Storms will be the favorites due simply to sheer quality in their last four entries, however.

 

Most Valuable Player: I'll abstain from this one but I would lean towards ottersalad. Strongest entry of round 1 and probably strongest solo of the entire contest (maybe tied with Jaguar for Celtic Legends) and both of his parks won, which I think I'm right in saying only happened for one of these players. I respect everyone on this list hugely for being so involved in the contest though. For so many people to sign up, there were strikingly few who built.

Best Park - It's one of the few parks I haven't reviewed yet, but Valle del Amanecer stands alone at the top for me.

Best Coaster - A little harder, but I'm going with the Mongo Tropica invert. Good layout, but mostly because it was so well used in the park. I'll give Toreador a shout for being original and Apex Predator for being quite epic.

Most Nostalgic - Maybe my pick benefits from being one of the first H2H8/8 parks, but Firestorm felt like a H2H1 park like no other to me. Emerald Heights was the most scenario-esque, and it did that well, but since the contest's original goal was to mimick H2H1 a little I have to pick Firestorm.

Best LL Talent - So much to choose from! RWE made something pretty, I commend Bubbsy's experimenting, ottersalad obviously had a great LL debut, and Xtreme has created his best RCT so far. Bigshootergill has created the most advanced out of all these people though and I believe he hasn't hit his LL prime yet.

Best team - Tropical Storms for sure, a combination of quality and quantity.

MVP - Ling
 

Congrats to my team! It was really nice watching all the parks come together. Sadly, I seem to be moving on from RCT, but this was enjoyable even if I didn't get too much building done myself. 

I second this. It was a neat little experience and I hope to do it again someday as well as see all who participated in later competitions.
