That is all.....
FK
It is a real shame to see a match with 24 votes, not to mention the Kitchen-RevoLLutionists' match. Seems to me that some members can't be bothered to dl and vote in a Round if it's not a mind blowing matchup.
It's a shame because they (Heavens Kitchen, Reservoir Dogs, Flying Germans, etc) are doing their best to show us something good, original and creative on RCT2, witch is difficult and takes time of your live, and only 24 persons voted on this? Ok, this can be (or not) the worst matchup but they did this to know what you think about the parks, they wanna win with more than 100 votes, not with for example 10 votes or less, just saying!
no problems bro
I don't think you're in a position to judge the 'productivity and morale' of the community, and I think you should realise that by being active and not voting or leaving opinions, you're being much more damaging to the community's morale.
Havent got time yet to produce the recap, sorry for my delay...
I understand I've been a bit lazy with my voting/commenting (typical "real world" excuses) and will make an effort to contribute more in the semi's/finals. Its a problem that's just come to light to me recently and I suppose I am just as much a part of it as everyone else. However I don't see how my point is any less valid though because I'm "not any position" to bring it up. Sorry, but it just seems sort of unnecessary to go through someone's post history to try to frame them as a hypocrite, and its exactly the kind of shit I'm talking about that we don't need more of. Maybe we can both agree to stop bullshitting and focus more on building parks/constructively posting? Yeah?
Anyway...
Hurricanes, what you had was enjoyable, some nice architecture at the entrance and the parade concept was fun. I also liked that you included some "slum" areas that, while not the most aesthetically pleasing or cohesive looking buildings by nature, give the park a much more real feel. I think the idea would've faired better on a larger map though. One thing this H2H has shown is that "concept" parks seem to fair better in this format than chain parks or parks with multiple themed areas. I would've loved to see a Macchu Picchu area or some mountainous ruin type of theme of that nature, but obviously the map wasn't big enough for that sort of thing.
In terms of our park, I'll admit I was dubious at the beginning when FK brought up the theme because the last floating park in H2H did not fair well in voting, but he ended up doing a great job on this. It takes a very different building mentality than that of traditional parks to use objects for purely aesthetic purposes like he did. I think the key to "getting" this is in the end there is no secret message or concept (Or is there???
For any of you who are curious as to who did what:
JDP - The layout to Inti. A couple supports on Inti.
FredD - The Rio area. Parade/carnival/Toucan ride/ Favela. Flamingo exhibit.
In:Cities - Peru[Theming/Sky Tower/Aviary/ Inti queue/ Llamas/ Unfinished splash boats] Amazonia[River rapids/ Anaconda exhibit/ X-Cursions/ Monkeys/ food bus/ Jaguar exhibit/ Unfinished kids play area & slides. Rio[ Christ redeemer statue, Tapirs, Bumper cars.
I really hate that we had to release the park in this state. I am not one to make excuses, but we really had some unfortunate situations that set us back.
Obviously having to rush to come up with a concept and park late in the season due to RRP's departure was a hurdle, but we got things up and running fairly quickly. Originally we were going to do a realistic SheiKra recreation, on par with the Kumba rec. But we had to consider the timeframe, as well as the game's limitations when it came to the grid and real life diagonal track sections. So we went with doing a small portion of a South American Busch Gardens theme. Divided into three sections: Peru, Amazon, and Rio.
JDP made the layout, then disappeared from that point on. He did periodically pop in from time to time promising to build and do the hacks for us, but was too busy with real life. We were originally going to have him do a water splash hack for Inti, but that never happened.
FredD came on pretty strong and got the Rio carnival section mapped out fairly quickly. Progress was going great between him and I, but with about a week to go his laptop crashed and wasn't able to build. Leaving me to take over the entire project.
It was difficult to try and fit build time in with my work schedule. Not to mention my girlfriend getting pissed at me for coming home every night and working on the park haha. I had to wake up super early and stay up super late just to get some build time. I managed to chip away at it pretty steadily, but the deadline still loomed. My family was having me join them on a roadtrip up to Boston for vacation the weekend of the deadline, so I was planning on bringing my laptop and a power inverter so I could do the remainder of the building on the road. I ended up forgetting my laptop entirely, but luckily I brought my external harddrive which had all my rct2 files. I managed to get RCT2 installed on my sisters boyfriends laptop on the night before the deadline though, and tried as hard as I could to finish the park.
I worked almost up until the deadline trying to finish up certain areas, but due to my style of "build first/add detail later", nearly everything ended up looking unfinished. I had so many ideas planned for the Peru area, but in the end it looked empty:/
Not to mention the floating dive machine in the middle of the park.
That being said, I am extremely thankful to have had the opportunity to participate in my first H2H. I have had an absolute blast working with each and every one of my teammates, and cannot wait to see the rest of what my team has in store:]
FK-Coastermind and Mister Stephen, congratulations on building an awesome park. Regardless of what people say, I thought it was fantastic. Very enjoyable to watch!

Colorflood is the most beautiful thing I've seen in a very long time. I'm sorry to say this, but the other park is not even slightly of the same quality.
It reminds me somehow of the work of Joan Miro. I'm afraid I still don't really get the conceptual part, but only from an aesthetic point of view, it is absolutely fantastic, to such an extend that it makes me feel like most "normal" parks are just stupid child's play compared to this (same feeling I had when 'Taboo' came out).
I have this huge collection of art images found on google etc. The overview of this park was immediately saved when I saw it. The very sight is already breathtaking. The color, the lines, such a fragile balance. This belongs in a museum.
Great job people!
Like the peanut butter floor.

A bit late and a bit short. Sorry about that, but I haven´t had a chance to do the recording over the last few days and only a limited amount of time today
