I actually did it so that you and Posix wouldn't get annoyed with the overload of topics about the same contest when it isnt an official NE contest.
Steve v Dark_Horse
Steve's layout is more unique and Dark_Horse's has two(technically one) disqusting elements.
Liampie v In:cities
Most horrendous coloured coaster in history with a decent layout vs the worst layout in history with cool theming. Gonna have to BARELY hand this one off to In:Cities. Please create a ride that is SOMEWHAT believable.
Belgianguy your entry was a beauty to look at. Will look at the actual layout later.
Wheres_Walto v FK+Coastermind
Finally an exciting matchup. Walto your landscaping and architecture was really nice but FK's landscaping and architecture was great as well. He also had a really exciting layout to watch so he wins it for me.
Turtle, the atmosphere you ALWAYS seem to create just amazes me. Congrats.
Maverick v Casimir
Maverick's design was great because of the fountain combined with the electrifying colors. Both coasters were rather SLOW, which is a big problem for me. Casimir I liked your ride as a whole, but when I looked at it piece by piece it was boring
SSSammy you created a ride that is incredibly fun to look at. However I was hoping for an inversion before that second launch!
Dislandian192 v Nin
I can't pick right now. After I view the rest I will vote between these two FUCKING AWESOME entries. Alright in the end I went for Dislandian's. I loved them both though! Don't hate me Nin.
][NTAMIN22 v RCTCA
RCTCA, that was really cool. Both had good and fun layouts, but Goliath is one of my favorite coasters out there and this was the first time I've seen someone go in the Giovanala direction in LL.
Ride6 v Loopy
Both of you can do better than that. Overall I liked Ride6's better because of the station. Not much more I want to say about this...
Splitvision v Tolsmir
Jesus christ. Two really good entries. More on this later. Looked at these again. Tolsmir you blew me away, good job.
Dr Dirt I liked the ride....KONG WTF!!!!!!!!
Milo cool idea. I'm 100% positive you could have executed what you were aiming for if you had more time to "think" about it. As for mine, read what I wrote in the download before viewing!
Airtime...it's pretty plain. All I can say is cool station.
Austin55 v Comet
Austin you had a nice B&M standup goin for you, but no theming. Comet you won this one as soon as I opened it. The whole thing is gorgeous. I could never do that whole NCSO thing so mad props.
Top Gun v Nokia
Hey Top Gun you wanna play some Zombs
Edited by Wanted, 04 July 2010 - 02:34 PM.
I have lost
I thought your layout was much stronger and whilst the surroundings werent much, they were better than RCTCA's.
I hope it would have been a decent match-up and maybe release what you had later on in the summer cuz I'd like to see what I'd had to face.
I prefer losing in a close match any day of the year over winning like this just for the record. I hope round2 will see more finished stuff since almost nobody did get a really finished entry.

BTW Sorry Comet, I pulled a bad one on you.

BelgianGuy, I didn't know you were THIS good. Excellent.
Splitvision, great entry. Tolsimir's is even greater though. It was hard to not vote for you.
SSSammy, you improved so much again! The coaster was really good.
Turtle, thanks.
...
Comet, it's brown again and the coaster was boring, but still this is my favourite work from you ever! It looked great somehow!
Steve disappointed me. I expected him to submit an unfinished coaster actually, but not this unfinished and not this small either. It could've been great...
STEVE vs DARK_HORSE
A pretty boring matchup. Had to give it to Steve simply cos he had a better layout...
LIAMPIE vs IN:CITIES
I feel ripped off by In:Cities. Those overviews looked ace, and then this really wasn't very good. Liam, I dunno what you were doing. You had a solid layout, but the colours and lack of theming seemed a bit...off. Gonna give this one to In:Cities by a narrow margin.
BELGIANGUY
Definitely the dark horse of this tournament. I'd say this was my third favourite ride this week.
WHERES_WALTO vs FK+COASTERMIND
Wow, where did that come from? Where's Walto's park was pretty nice, especially for someone I've never heard of before. But FK just showed (almost) everyone up this week. 2nd favourite of this round.
TURTLE
Typical Turtle. Great atmosphere, but I fear that I've seen that theme from you one too many times now.
MAVERICK vs CASIMIR
Completely gutted about this, cos if I'd have pulled my finger out a bit, I reckon I'd have won Casimir haha. Oh well. Maybe next time. Voted for Casimir because whilst it's not his best work, it was still pretty nice. Mavericks wasn't detailed enough for me.
SSSAMMY
Wow, when did you get so good? A solid entry. I thought the area around Excalibur was fantastic. If you'd have themed it all as well as that, this would be in my top 3 for this week.
DISNEYLANDIAN192 vs NIN
Best match up so far. DL192's would have won against 90% of the other contestants, but Nin...wow. That is quite possibly the best thing I've ever seen in RCT2. Even better than ArchAngel. Just...superb.
RIDE6
Cos I don't have LL on this computer, I won't vote in this match up, just give my opinion. I thought his was quite poor, no where near your usual standards. The architecture was blocky, the landscaping was choppy, and the layout was too compact for me.
SPLITVISION vs TOLSIMIR
Now, I've not seen much of Tolsimir, but people say he's pretty good so I was actually rather looking forward to this matchup, cos I know Split can deliver. Tolsimir's was quite atmospheric. I didn't like the coaster, not the colour scheme, nor the landscaping. But I did like the architecture. Split's was much the same. I think I will give this one to Split hough, as I preferred his archy.
DR DIRT
If this was finished, It would have probably given Nin a bit of competition for best this round.
AUSTIN55 vs COMET
Comet's entry was fantastic, especially for NCSO. Your style really suits it man. Austin's wasn't so great. Sorry.
[u]TOP GUN vs NOKIA
Wtf was Top Gun's entry? Didn't like it at all, sorry. Very solid entry from Nokia. Lots of charm, my only problem with it is the lack of architecture, because the architecture that is there is fantastic.
[u]TOP 5
1. Nin
2. FK
3. BG
4. Comet/Nokia
5. SSSammy
How I voted and the reasons why:
Steve vs Dark_Horse - Steve
Since both entries contained not much apart from the coasters, I will judge entirely based on them and that makes Steve the winner for me. It flowed well and I liked the pre-lift section aswell.
Liampie vs In:Cities - In:Cities
While I:C's coaster was completely insane and not that good, not technically neither aestethically (except for the part with the two large loops and the helix at the waterfall) and Liampie's were slightly better, I vote for I:C simply because it felt like he went for it more than Liam. He had a grander concept going on while Liam choosed a more juvenile theme
wheres_walto vs FK+coastermind - FK
w_w's entry was nice, only I didn't really feel the medieval theme except for at the station. FK's entry contained a bit more and also I liked the layout plus overall concept better. The submarine was cool.
Maverick vs Casimir - Casimir
It was mainly that I liked Casimir's layout a lot more than Maverick's, it felt a lot more natural, but also the small amount of theming that was there was slightly better than that in Maverick's.
disneylandian192 vs nin - nin
Even though disneylandian192's entry was very nice in several ways, nins was simply better. Of course much due to the difference in finishedness between the two but also because it was so clean and carefully done without the tiniest hint of sloppyness, and the name for the coaster was just brilliant.
][ntamin22 vs RCTCA - No vote
Couldn't view this in-game as I don't have LL so I had to judge from the screens, and that makes RCTCA a pretty obvious choice for me, as it looked about finished and I liked it. ]['s screen was just too messy and unfinished to stand a chance. No actual vote though as I can't view the entries properly in-game.
Ride6 vs Loopy - No vote
Couldn't vote here either as I can't view Loopy's entry. I could view Ride6's entry though and that was really nice, the layout was great.
Splitvision vs Tolsimir - Splitvision
Yeah
Milo vs Wanted - No vote
Same as above. Wanteds entry looked slightly more finished. And while Milo seemed to go for something more original while Wanted's entry looked more generic, I felt it wasn't enough.
Austin55 vs Comet - Comet
Pretty easy choice seeing as Comet's entry was a lot more finished than Austin55's. Comet's entry had some really nice theming and a great atmosphere. Austin55's layout was pretty good though.
Top Gun vs Nokia - Nokia
Both entries were very good, but I went for Nokia as I liked the atmosphere in it more and also I found the layout to be very clever. Top Gun's were good as well, but I didn't like the dive-loop/large-loop/upward dive loop (I don't know the right name for that element) section.
Then we had the entries that won by forfeit. I found them all to be pretty good, sammy surprised me with his great entry and BG's entry was one of the better. Turtle's was pretty awesome aswell.
well done everyone, really excited about how the voting will turn out!

Best matchup - Split vs Tolsimir.

Best 1st round entry - Turtle
Most surprised - Belgian Guy <3
General notes -
Where’s walto - Good architecture, nice atmosphere. I was surprised.
Turtle – You’re going to make the final four. Beautiful atmosphere as always and you can tell you were a parkmaker... You just outclassed everyone
BelgianGuy - It just looked awesome. Your my top 5 non parkmakers.
Sssammy - Realistic, modern, your the first on my list for top 5 non parkmaker.
Incitties - Most ambitious, keep going.
Loopy - The screen looked amazing.
Splitvision - Strongest scenery, 5Dave reminiscent. You’re a strong name for the future.
I'm kinda disappointed and doubting whether to download the next round. After I viewed half the entries I just didn't feel up to the others (yet viewed to be fair). I congratulate Louis and Nin for organizing this and I hope the rounds get stronger. Belgian guy, Turtle and split were strongest for me and I hope tolsimir goes through. K0NG was a massive disappointment for me due to not even submitting. Yeah anyway good luck. P.s Sssammy is the future.
I do plan to go back and redo some minor parts on this, as well as making it more function peep-wise (it already is, just with some minor problems, anyone interested can simply build a path up from the entrance gates to the park). Also, hopefully I captured the Disney vibe in this park? Obviously a rocket wouldn't be in a Disney park, but with time constraints I wasn't able to make a RnR so I just went with what I had, same with the drop ride.
Moving on, back to disneylandian's entry. This was pretty great, nice stuff here. At first when I saw the vertical spike I thought you were going for a PowderKeg inspired S&S coaster, but then the freefall cars began their descent. The overall theme was really nice too, we don't see that kind of stuff too much anymore, and the haunted mansion was great. I too was going to make a dark ride in my entry but just ran out of time.
