The list of unexpecteds continues, as we proudly welcome CoasterForce to the NE Pro Tour! This round actually turned out to be pretty strong, with every entry showing terrific effort and great work. But it was CoasterForce who, seemingly out of nowhere, produced the winner--a beautifully themed mine train that weaves around a dinosaur research area, through a neighboring village, and all around a beautifully landscaped domain. While some entries featured terrific quality but half completion or vice versa, CF was the only one to really put both together into a very impressive package. It didn't hurt that his entry was awesome either, so congratulations CoasterForce!

Meanwhile, the quest continues for the rest. Magnus has kindly stepped in as this year's Kumba... or maybe he wandered to close to slob and caught his curse. In any case, all six of the entries were very good, and we're proud to have them on display.

fuck that sucks.
Its not even that i didnt win, because i probably wouldnt anyways. Its just annoying and i have way too much going through my fucking head right now
Congrats Coasterforce, I had a feeling you'd pull this one out of your hat. Comments tonight or tommorow.
I thought they were all basic (i guess it IS a mine ride after all).
Steve's was best, albeit slightly bare and unfinished looking.
CoasterForce's was very well themed, but there is something about it that keeps me from liking it too much, dunno what it is. Good win though.
Yes the landscaping sucks, no comments; i know that part.

Postit, your entry actually surprised me a lot. Had you themed the coaster and finished it, I think we might have had a tough race for winner.
As for the other parks, I was impressed and a little disappointed. Starting in reverse order, (placement) here's what I thought:
Tom dj: The Apocalipta-I thought this was a nice little thing you had. I liked the layout for the most part, aside from the no brake run. I also enjoyed the foliage here more than in any other park. Yet, you still seemed to be in an identity crisis. You had these overly detailed 1/4 tile structures, which were fine, but it didn't fit in with the coaster, and the other bits of a realistic feel I got. Also, after further inspection, the landscaping was nothing to write home about, and that shade of green was vile. But overall, nice job. You're improving very nicely.
Levis: Route to El DoradoThis was a bit of a dissapointment for me. This clearly was the most creative, but it was really kind of weird. The mountains looked like you got lazy, and I really wasn't a big fan of them. In addition, there really wasn't much substance in this, other than a bizzare mine train, sprawling through an overly colorful village, and big mountains. By the way, I hated the ugly custom trees. Really not that bad of an entry, keep building with that creativity you have.
Magnus: Devil's MineAlso somewhat of a dissapointment to me. (I wonder how many more times I'll mispell that) The coaster seemed excessively long to me. I liked some bits of it, and the theming was very nice. I just felt it was a bit cluttered, and other than the queue line, I didn't get much of an atmosphere out of it. I think you should just concentrate on one event, and put your all into it, as I really felt this one was extremely rushed.
Steve: K2 Mine TrainI liked this one, mainly because it was Steve quality work. The architecture and little village was quaint, lovely. The coaster was pretty good as well. Very nice, just a bit small and incomplete, otherwise, it would have definitely won.
Coasterforce: Project DinosaurCompleted. Obvious choice here. Has your adventure ride and mine train. I did think that the coaster went through the tour part way too fast, it was going like 34 mph, when it would be relaxing and best at about 12 mph. Over 8000 ft? I thought the length was a bit excessive. Other than that, I don't really have much to fault. Oh yeah, Pro Tour bench? That was totally different. I thought that shpeil was a little weird, considering it wasn't the pro tour bench, and it was pretty different. On the positive end, the entry was very complete, had nice landscaping, good foliage, enough good architecture, and some very nice helices. Well done, Coasterforce, and good luck in the big show.
I'm gonna ckeck the other entry's now i'll comment later
-Tom_Dj
well I will try it at least one more time
Poor Magnus & Steve, I know your paine
Steve's had the quality no doubt but really didn't look like he finished the idea.
I agree wholeheartedly with the decision...though I'd have had magnus' entry 3rd instead of 4th. Still, nice solid round and I hope to have my PC back soon.
Ohh crap, sorry about that...I wrote the Readme first and forgot to change that part (on my first attempt with the ride it was bad, so I made another workbench and didn't change it).
But wow, I'm pleasantly surprised! Thanks for the comments everyone, I'll address all of them later.

Steve had a really nice little miniature Expedition Everest thingy going, but I wanted to see more. The rest you can argue could go in any order. So maybe well balanced round is a better description? I dunno... I liked all of the entries. Magnus had a really nice layout but didn't seem to put as much heart as he usually does (SEEM... just compared to his other stuff). Levis had some nice stuff, but it sort of looked like a simplified JKay style (that's the best way I can describe it). And Tom had nice stuff, but it didn't add up to the rest IMO.

Project Dinosaur- Gongrats CF, I feel that this definitely deserved the win. The layout was crazy and the archy was there too.
K-2 Mine Train- Very, very nice entry, probably my favorite of them all in this round, it would have definitely given CF a big run for his money if it had a more completed feel to it
Seranaur Cove Mine Train- I was very impressed by this entry. I think the top 3 of this round would have been tight if more had been finished in your's, and steve's. Nice job here for what was finished
Devil's Mine- I was very impressed by the foliage, layout, and atmosphere, how ever the archy really didn't do it for me (I know it was all just about non custom scenery). And I think that could be what hendered you from placing higher
Route To El Dorado- I wasn't to crazy about this entry. I really didn't care for the layout too much. The El Dorado section had a good El Dorado feel to it, but the structures in the Mts just looked rushed. I didn't understand either what was with the rand patch of black in the middle of the map. The idea was creative, yes and I can see you a improving. Keep trying
The Apocalipta- To be honest, I really liked this entry. The archy was there for me, as was the foliage. The layout was a bit short yet still it all looked good. I feel that this entry should have placed higher.
the games are rigged.
