    Congratulations to the winners once again. It was a pretty close race in the completing entries, as Bender902 snuck in a few votes against JKay and nemesis chris barely gets through the first round with a nailbiting win over the promising X250. Good job to everyone who entered...Scarface and Junya Boy also gave great performances. Next round we'll see two differents styles going against each other as the fantasy JKay takes on the more realistic Junya Boy. And two very similar parkmakers, Scarface & Nem Chris face off.

    Round 2 Match-Ups:
    1.JKay
    9.Junya Boy

    5.nemesis chris
    4.Scarface

    JKay's zip file is giving me problems. It won't unzip.

    Mine too.

    I'm sad that none of the entries I've viewed so far were spaghetti bowls. :(

    have not checked out jkays yet, but benders was good, what let it down was the barron land around the lift hill and the unfinished wall that went across the area was unfinished. Perhaps that was a time issue. Still it was a nice entry and a good way to get yourself known arounf here at ne, getting votes over jkay. I will vote for my fav later when i have checked them all out.

    :@ why does my bracket have to be the last to be released!! lol

    Bollocks! Congrats to all that got through, especially congrats to nemesis chris for beating me! I could not have gone out to a better entry really, so... i am not too disappointed. ;)


    Four bloody three... that will haunt me for a long time! 8@

    Hum... if JKay can win this, and it looks like Supertrooper will win his we may have an RCTI sweep in the RCT2 entrys going into the West Braket, and could take em all if Jacko and metro win, I can see Jacko doing it, but Metros got Toon in his way..

    I wondered that too. Then I saw the post count for it's subforum:

    This forum has 6 topics, and 32 posts


    It won't take much longer though.

    Pyrotecknix, ... just..... blew me away.................... X250 for parkmaker :p ....................

    Villagers is definately the best. It has the same good looking aura as does Spira, but it is more skillful, colorful, and enjoyable.

    Spira is a good entry as well, nice job gettin through to the next round. and good luck against scarface...

    Bionic Blast seemed to me to be a showcase of how much color one could jam into a map...I liked it better than the Sands, but not enough to get my vote. Typical JKay, interesting.

    In order of preference:

    pyrotechniX- wow, I don't know what to think! I think i'm giving this one the vote, actually, because it's so cool. God knows what the theme is (if there is one). Actually, Satan probably knows better. Anyway, the buildings were great fun to look at, the coaster is mad and the landscaping is whack (especially that waterfall to no-where...crazy). And what's with the random isolated islands? Oh well, great stuff - an explanation wouldn't go amiss, though!

    Spira: The Lost Island Of Eden- aside from the terrible name, this entry was really very very nice. The ratings on the coaster were bad, but then again the layout was very good and there was only one slow spot (still one too many, though!). It was a very calming atmosphere, and the only thing I really didn't like was the way the flowers were used. The buildings were very good (especially the tower over the first element), and the foliage (apart from the flowers) was well pulled off. Great trackwork, too, mixing it in with the rct2 flavour. Good stuff.

    Bionic BLAST!- horrendous ratings, but then again, who cares which such cool acrobatics as these? That first inversion combo is brilliant, along with all the scenery enveloping it. Really good entry, this one, with ingenuity and fun being the two winning factors. Well done!

    Journey Of The Villagers- I really liked this entry, except for the ratings (can no-one make a LIM with nice ratings?!). Anyway, the architecture was very pleasant, but was really set off by the landscape and waterfalls etc. Nice height changes, soothing colours, the lot. Nice work, Scarface!

    Passage Of Isarai- I thought this one was pretty cool, especially the way it kinda explored each island. The coaster was good - nice pacing, interesting elements and, best of all, non-fatal ratings! The colours worked. If I was going to choose one thing to improve, it would be the coastlines, because they were very hit-or-miss. Great job.

    Sands Of Time- the big walls and buildings around the coaster were pretty cool, and the landscaping up into the corner there. I was a bit let down by the coaster though - not much seemed to happen with it, really. Also, although the theming through the rest of the map was nice, it seemed kinda consequential, rather than integral to the ride experience. This is coaster-building, after all, not park building (I hope people get what I mean here). Anyway, good job.

    So, a nice showing of coasters (no half-assed attempts here), but in the end pyrotechniX kinda ran away with my vote. Good round.
    --------

    I wrote that before seing the results (don't ask). Anyway, I can see how NC might have beaten X, but personally I think X has been really hard done by, because IMO his was definitely the best.

    I wish you all the best in the future, X250 - i've had my eye on you and will continue to for a long while yet, I hope!

    Could someone who has jKay's send me the file to m.murchison@shaw.ca. The Zip is corrupt for me for some reason. If not no biggie, I'll find it eventually.
  • X250%s's Photo
    Toon, i am sending the file now.

    Mantis, you asked for an explanation of the park? Well i did write a readme for it, but then i thought i would delete it 'cos i thought it would be obvious of whos park it was... Basically the park is in no theme what-so-ever! I thought i would create one section with a light appearance, and the other with dark... And see what the outcome would be.
    None of it was planned, i suppose it was all just 'impulse building', i just wanted to build something that would be cool to look at!

  • Bender902%s's Photo
    Yeah Mantis, I got you. I know I suck at building coasters but I tohught i would give it a try. I wasn't really inot mine either because it would never come out how I imagined it. Thanks for the comments guys.
