    As our winner, we present to you Canthose Valley Theme Park by 5dave. This topic is meant for commenting purposes. Please make sure to visit the park's page, too!

    Personally I believe you are our deserved winner. Comparing this to #2 Busch Gardens North America, while maybe not on the same technical level, what made this entry better for me was the "flow" many people missed in #2. The panel scored Canthose Valley 15.09% above Busch Gardens North America. ((17.62/15.31 - 1)*100). I cannot wait to see your next release. I think you're making many people a fan of your parkmaking these days. If you can keep the productivity level I would personally consider you to be out #1 parkmaker, at the moment. Congratulations 5dave.

    On a side note, if those of you using internet explorer could please give me feedback if the names of the panelists are now accurately aligned to the scores, that would be nice, thanks.

    Hi 5Dave,

    First of all, i want to congrat you with the 1st place :party:

    Everything is so detailed and each ride fit perfect. I must have cost you more than 200 'rct' hours. I don't like 1 thing, the big azteca building. I think it's too big if you compare it to the rest.


    Thank you for this beautiful park! :nod:

    Even despite it's size, I still think this is one of the greatest parks this site has seen (and far better than previous PT winners). Well done, Dave.
  • FullMetal%s's Photo
    Definitely a winner in my book, and it will probably go down as one the greatest parks ever. It will probably still be talked about 2 years from now.

    That's funny steve, I was thinking when viewing this park I would comment on it saying it was the best contest winner NE has seen (>Escalante, B.O.M.B & BG Sydney)..

    Major kudo's on the custom music choices (especially the Amelie OST song!).. It adds so much more atmosphere and quality to the park.. Park music definitely is underrated around here..
    Although some architectural styles are pretty reminiscent of which steve used in his h2h final entry with xcoaster (disney's shadowlands) I absolutely love to see this kind of style (I could be wrong though).. So it doesn't really matter to me if you took some styles of other parkmakers to get this atmosphere.. There's also some El encierro in there but almost everyone around here uses some of that so once again I can't blame you..

    Definitely deserved to be number 1 and if I had to make a list it would look like this;
    1 Canthose Valley
    2 Nemica
    3 Bush Gardens North America
    4 Terra Antico
    5 Pangaea
    6 New Sun
    7 Metal Masters

    Nice contest guys, although it kinda pales in comparison to PT1 and in lesser degree PT2..

    That's the BEST park I've ever seen... :OMG:
    You really make me jealous! Probably I'm going to have an overview the whole night...


    Congratulation, man!
  • MF72 %s's Photo
    Looks good from the overview!

    My list:
    1. Canthose - Obviously amazing.
    2. NeMica - one of my favorites
    3. Pangaea - very cool
    4. Terra Antico - based on what others have said
    5. Busch Gardens NA - I really thought it was just a cluttered array of rides
    6. Metal Masters - Any park with Metal is amazing, to bad it was unfinished
    7. New Sun - didn't really feel it

    Holy shit.

    Great flow, wonderful architecture, impressive ride layouts, awesome landscaping...

    Very, very deserving win, 5dave.

    Sick park, Dave. The custom music was a really nice touch, the layouts were great, the park flowed nicely, and I think you deffinitely have the most refined architectural syle out of everyone who plays the game right now. I really don't have any problems with this entry at all. Well deserved winner. I especially loved the GCI; the whole layout was great and that wooden tunnel was fantastic. I would have loved to look at the peepable version of this, but unfortunately I'm missing some piece of scenery that the peep-free version does not use? Strange.

    But, as far as this being the best PT entry ever, I disagree entirely. In my opinion, BGS is probably the greatest RCT park ever, in terms of functionality and realism. I can see how that wouldn't be some people's cup of tea, however.

    And my list, just for fun...
    1. Canthose
    2. Pangaea
    3. Nemeca
    4. BGNA
    5. Terra Antico (I don't have LL, though, so this might be an unfair ranking)
    6. Metal Masters
    7. New Sun Park

    A really great park and definately deserved the win.The only part i can fault it on is the same as the previous entry,just not enough empty space.

    #3 - Terra Antico
    #4 - Busch Gardens North America
    #5 - NeMica-Forgotten Land
    #6 - Metal Masters
    #7 - New Sun Park
  • FullMetal%s's Photo
    If I remember correctly, I would've put them in this order:

    1. Canthose Valley
    2. Busch Gardens
    3. Pangaea
    4. NeMica
    5. Terra Antico
    6. New Sun
    7. Metal Masters

    Once again, congrats 5Dave on the spectacular win! :mantis:

    This is so brilliant! It's an absolute masterpiece and one of the best parks (especially for its scale) that rct has ever seen in my opinion. I could describe it as incredibly detailed, amazingly realistic and as packed with atmosphere but I could also just say that it's Dave's work and everybody would know what I meant. ;)

    a very well-crafted park, definitely deserving of the win. it was very clean and it had great flow. great architecture and layouts throughout, i can't really say i dislike anything in this entry.

    however, to say that this is superior to our previous PT winners is, in my opinion, ridiculous. this doesn't even come close to the innovation of basics of my brain, nor does it match the technical brilliance of phatage's busch gardens. although it was a very solid entry in every aspect, it just doesnt compare to our previous two winners, i think.

    Awesome park man, the whole atmosphere was really good, the coasters were done superbly, the tram espescially was a favourite for me.
    The western section was my fav, the woodie was brilliant and all the shops/stalls were build great
    Well done

    5dave Congratulations!! :lol:

    I really enjoyed your Theme Park, very good!!

    1st place deserved.

    I'm not sure.

    I really liked this, but for me, I still think FK should have won. It might not have been the best park out there, but the styling of it and the ideas of things were brilliant.

    Here, the ideas were good, not brilliant, but they were executed perfectly. I'm also not a fan of having every block of land covered by something. I find it much more impressive if you get the right balance of empty and full.

    My list and ratings:

    1. Nemica - 17-
    2. Canthose - 16+
    3. Terra Antico - 15+
    4. Busch Gardens - 15-
    5. Pangaea - 15-
    6. Metal Masters - 12+
    7. New Sun Park - 9-

    This. Spot on. I don't have anything more really to add than that. This park was BY FAR the best PT entry this year, and is honestly near-perfection; definitely one of the best RCT2 parks I've ever seen.
