Description
When NE’s Pro Tour was announced, I was ecstatic to find out architecture would be included in the qualifying rounds. And after 10 days of grueling construction, the Imperial Riyadh Resort was complete and sent in. A few days later it was announced the winner of the first qualifying round in the Pro Tour. This was by far my largest piece of architecture and the most time consuming, too. Luckily, it edged by to gain me a coveted spot in the New Element Pro Tour.

Now that I have look at the parks, here is my opinion:
Nemesis Chris's "Journey through Mikrat Springs"- I see where got me at. Overall quality. You kept it small so you coul make each part as good as possible. I made mine large so it had some bad parts that took away from the good. I guess Iris liked that better. I do feel the coaster was lacking though. It slows down to much at the end through the helix. But, I am no coaster expert. Anyways, great effort and congratulations.
Mine: Check above.
RWAdams: I agree with Thorpedo. Didn't like it at all. I opened up and it just looked ugly and messy. I didnt' know what I was looking for. Then i gave up.
LeighX- Look too much like Kumbas entries.
I didn't look at the rest or can't remember what I thought of them. Good job NC.
NC- Nice entry. Good theming and an excellent mine train. The archy was repetitive..but oh well.
Bender209- It was ok. Your theming was very boring...but the lanscaping was good.
rwadams- I didn't like this one. At all. Sorry.
mine- you decide.
dantheman- Good archy kinda...bad theming I thought. Good ideas and a good mine train though.
rctfan- John and Foozy anyone? It was basically a copy of the detail, and bad theming. Nice ride though.
leighx- haven't looked.
pirate thingy--it was ok.
The LL parks were both well done but pretty simple when compared to the other entries. Nice theming in both, but nothing to make them stand out. And the last two were kind of forgettable. Nice work getting an entry in, but both of you need to work on consistency. Rather than having buildings surrounded by trees and bushes, think of the whole park as a whole more. They just looked to spread out and didn't do much with architetecture. Congrats nemesis chris for the winning entry.
This contest has been really cool. I'm seeing some great work by members I haven't heard of before. This really is a good way to introduce yourself to the NE community.
Although, I would agree it is blatently influenced by Foozy... which, IMO is quite bluntly pathetic. Like I've been saying, rctfan, you seem to be too influenced by other peoples' work. Using ideas and putting your own spin on it is different, but this just seemed like you looked at Foozy's park, saw what he did, and tried to directly imitate it. That doesn't show any individuality or imagination.
now I know.... to win a spot, the ride needs to be on a mountain, with lots of 2x2, and jagged rocks...
off to finish my dark ride...
Rog
Bender...good theming, nice building interaction, but I found the layout to be subpar.
RWAdams...how is this ugly? Well, the archy was, but I thought the railroad maintanence hooks and gears and stuff was superb. Oh well.
Thorp: lol looks too purple. And shitty layout.
Dan: Eh.
RCTFan: shoulda been higher. Best architecture, at least. I liked the tower of ... oh thats right you didnt name it, but that was an impressive building (altho watch becoming a toon/john ripper as thorp said). Crappy layout and just generic treeing of the coaster spanked your entry.
leighx: I totally agree with the kumbaness. Just lacked oomph overall. Very kumbalike ride, very kumbalike theming, very kumbalike architecture. Work on color.
I have school now and i will look at all the other entries tonight im sure there all great.
~NC~
but anyway chris well done it was all prefect.
It seems like once a parkmaker gets the target on his chest, there is no way for them to shed it, no matter what they produce. I really saw nothing sad or pathetic about this entry. Is anyone who tries to create highly detailed RCT2 work from now on fated to be accused of copying Foozy or John? How stupid is that?
LeighX's - Was a good ride but looked at little rushed and didnt look like Kumba's work imo.
Benders - Was great the colours fitted it perfect and has some very nice bits in it.
RWAdams - Looked exactly like a mine site very realistic i loved the mine train.
A14504 - I liked this one alot the coaster was the best one here but the themeing let it down.
RctFan - I liked the themeing but the coaster had me bored it needed something to spice it up really.
Cant wait to see who gets in next round.
~Nemesis Chris~
congrats to chris on the win i loved the speed of the ride it made it alot of fun, and your themeing was very nice.
LeighX i dont think your entry looked "Kumba'ish" and please may we never see another mine train that dives under water
i did not look at the rest of the entrys yet but i will. and Bender i feal your pain, its like a kick in the nuts to see that you were only one spot away from a win. and as we all know my nuts are killing me right now.
also my Wooden Coaster is looking real good, and will kill the competition
