But at the moment I don't have any fun with this contest...
We don't THINK he's the messiah. We KNOW he's the messiah.
"MFG"
Wasn't Robbie's name on this previously?
Robbie built the majority of this.

If you reduce someones share to 0% then it deletes them from the submission, regardless of whether you are an admin or not, it's somewhat of a loophole.
Time has come.
Pros-and-cons-style.
Park Edda
First of all, shame you couldn't finish the park as planned. The concept is great, and the finished bits (in park and screens) look fantastic. It doesn't really surprise me that Magnus wanted to repeat Park Asterix' success. Not saying it's a ripoff, the park just follows the same model.
+ Stuff in the entrance area. Some great architecture here. Not working well as a whole, but the individual buildings are very nice. Cool dragon as well. At least its head, not sure if the body was finished.
+ Custom swinging ship. Best one I've seen.
+ The watercoaster was godly. I'm only into hardcore realism when it's done really well. In this park, the relatively boring layout and the many realism details (especially supports) could've put me off, but you pulled it off perfectly. The supports are flawless, the interactions genius. Love the shipwreck.
+ I already expected an attempt at making a SPQR-style woodie, since SPQR is Magnus' latest claim to fame, it's what he's apparently best at. Predictable, but not a bad move at all. I can't say that you succeeded in making a woodie as good as SPQR, but Ragnarok is definitely a very good woodie and award-candidate. I'm sorry robbie, but the first half of the ride is much better than the second. The second lacks interesting bits. SPQR was amazing from start to finish. I can't get over how good it is... But again, still a very good effort. It's not fair to compare this to SPQR, apologies.
+ The station and queue area for Ragnarok are the shit.
+- The landscaping (and overall colour scheme of the park) was cool, but it got old quick. I'm sure this wouldn't be the case if you had more time. Frozen river was cool.
+- The rope course - another attempt to outdoing a H2H5 Flying Germans feature!
- The indoor coaster is frankly a boring ride. I appreciate the work that went into the supports and stuff, but it felt horribly out of place. I like the small darkride bit in the middle though.
- Unfinished stuff.
- No peeps. The park needs some life, especially the back half of the park, to make up for the bareness.
Overall a good park, and potentially a great park. I enjoyed it. And Robbie, I can't say it often enough. Theme parks is where you belong.
Tivoli Gardens
First of all, I'm a big fan of the real Tivoli Gardens, so I got really excited when I saw this park. I think you could've done much more with the concept, but it's still a lovely park. One of the best parks we've seen this H2H.
+ Lovely atmosphere all over.
+ The Maurer coaster is fucking brilliant. Very small, but it didn't matter. Optimal use of space; the area has a perfect flow and it doesn't feel cramped. I can imagine walking in the street there, right under the coaster. I remember walking under Daemonen in Copenhagen. It's an awkward and memorable sight, a coaster in the middle of a city. Brings back good memories.
+ Rutschebanen (not the actual name, I think) was small, but it didn't matter. Genius choice of trains and track.
+ Thank god you included city areas. Context is underrated.
+ The museum/ferris wheel/restaurant is one of the best things I've seen in RCT in a long time. The ferris wheel is the best I've ever seen without a doubt, and all the different cabins were a funny touch. The restaurant area felt so real. There are very few areas in RCT that feel THIS real. Amazing.
+ The oriental building was beautiful.
+ The entrance gates were awesome. All of them.
+ Very cool that you included the concert hall. Adds a lot to overall feel of the park.
+- The inclusion of a boardwalk was a cool idea, and it worked I think. Very good. You just had to differentiate the architecture here to set it apart from the city.
+- The city architecture was cool, but it didn't really resemble Copenhagen or any other Scandinavian city. I don't blame you for this, but it would've been awesome if you did some research and made accurate architecture.
+- Cool interiors, but it wasn't always clear what all the blocks and things were representing. Maybe it would've been better to have accurate and more believable architecture without interiors than what you did here. Just a thought.
+- I think there should've been more 'little things' in the park. I know 5Dave is one of the best guys for this, so in that way he disappointed. This is the only thing where the park didn't deliver well. Or maybe I just missed everything, or I'm spoiled. Probably a combination of these three explanations.
- I didn't like the flying coaster. Not classy enough for a classy park like Tivoli Gardens, in my opinion. It didn't look good. Thanks for the Lijiang tribute (murals), by the way. Appreciate it.
Overall a great park.
I think the 3:5 (roughly) vote ratio is justified. Two good parks, one was a bit better. Combined, the two parks AND the vote ratio make this one of the best matchups this H2H, by the way! A match this good deserves a long writeup like this. I wish I could've done it earlier. Better late than never: congratulations Replacements!
Expect more writeups in the coming days.
