Surprise! After just releasing two of the most intense RCT2 releases of all time....we throw one more your way just to make sure. It's not easy following up Mala's Rift Valley and cBass's winning entry "Basics Of My Brain"...but I have a special bonus entry for you, an entry that wasn't finished in time but I felt was so incredible that it deserved it's place somewhere on the Pro Tour list, x-sector's full scale RCT2 Debut: "A Love Token"! Borrowing ideas and inspiration from Andre 3000's "A Love Below" CD, you'll find lots of the same names....such as several rides named after various tracks on the album (Pink & Blue, Love Hater, Vibrate, etc.) You'll also see some of the absolute best theming I've ever seen in RCT2, some of the absolute best architecture, and some absolutely insane coasters! Mala-esque dueling wooden coasters, an uber-extreme Dive Machine, "God", and a hidden coaster....buried deep Below! Amazing use of Toon's blocks is noticable from every structure in the park...from the hearts on the water ride, to the carvings in cliff-sides, and various theming devices everywhere. It's a shame you couldn't officially enter this thing X, you would have had a real competitive shot, but still...I hope everyone enjoys the Love Token!
This would have won the pro tour for me. Just awesome... the woodies and the floorless especially, and the river ride all brilliantly designed, and the best bit of themeing I've seen for ages was on the launched freefall. I absolutely loved it, shame you couldn't get it in in time.
I rate it highly, but not that highly. I was disappointed with the woodies (boring layout, lack of dueling) and that massive cliff into the water looked terrible, especially against the opposite cliff which was so well done. However, I really did like the buildings and the colours, and Happy Valentine's Day was an excellent river ride. Nice job, X - I hope you're still going with that other rct2 park you were playing around with.
Mantis I agree about the woodies. I'm not happy with them. I wanted them to do so much more but I couldn't get the to work no matter how much I played around with them so I chose the easy way out as I wanted to get this park done.
oh i forgot about the bare cliff face I was mean't to put plants up it
I'm working on a rct2 park but its nothing special. I started it when the pro tour bench came out, which was when I was starting to get in to rct2 but stopped construction on it to work on this but I decided to finish it so to get a park done. I'll show screens soon. its also a bit of a realistic park as wme said to me to try and not do so much fantasy.

Piece of advice: don't listen to WME Haha, well it'll be good to see something different. I was talking about that screen you showed a while ago with the different coloured buildings (one of them was cool and bright yellow).
Well, regardless of what other people say, I absolutely adore this park, though I'm having a love/hate relationship with it. For me, this is the single greatest RCT 2 medium sized park (full size is 128x128 or above) ever made. No one should be this good, and my heart dropped when I saw the level of quality displayed here; it made me look and feel pathetic.
This park has everything. Sophisticated architecture that takes advantage of RCT 2's detailing while retaining some of RCT 1's charm? Check. Brilliant atmosphere that envelopes the guest? Of course. Great coasters? I'm not super picky; I loved every single one. Great naming? Though taken from a CD, I thought this was a rare and appropriate except to the creativity rule. Sense of humor? It's a LOVE TOKEN! Amazing effort and skill? Yup. Insane landscultping? You got it. This park has it all. Overall, it is the best thing I've ever seen in RCT 2 (and I'm standing by that!).
I had a blast exploring this park (two days before everyone else... and I completely understand, now, why Iris suddenly ranked you at #1 in QftB. But why the bleeping bleep bleep bleepers did he have to put YOU in MY bracket?
At any rate, you've inspired me to really crank up my skills, as I had gotten a bit complacent. X, you've made me feel like crap about my own work, so I'm going to push to improve my parks and hopefully match your quality (someday). I won't settle until I'm the best, and at the very least, you're going to keep me from resting on my laurels!
Fantastic work, X-Sector. Had the deadline been July 1, you would have obliterated the competition (and gotten your revenge on Mala!). By unleashing this, you've proven yourself to be the best RCT 1 and RCT 2 parkmaker... ever... and that itself is a historic achievement. Incredible work against, Steve. Now go easy on me if I'm lucky enough to make it to the Elite 8 and go against you.
A great park, i love the outkast theme you have going through there- its a great park for a great album. It would be quite interesting for somebody to maybe do a Speakerboxxx park sometime too...! Nice use of toon's blocks and i liked the splash boats, but i felt the wooden coaster was a little unnecessarily fast, it could have been a lot more of a bearable speed. My favourite coaster was 'God', those are some good custom supports you had on there, and it was very well paced...
well X did plan to do 2 entrys, one this, the other Speakerboxxx, however our evil webmaster said no.
I really liked the park, the archy seemed like a mix of Corky and Voodoo, and that can only be a good thing. Tho I must agree I dislike the woodies, it was a clear take off on Mt. Chase, but the colors and layout just were not that good, you have done 2 great Mala inspired coasters don't push your luck
8/10 Id place this around 7-4, nice, but it did not really take me in.
I didn't care for the racers, not because they looked like they wanted to be Mountain Chase, personally I think that's cool. However there were no duels what-so-ever. *yawn*. But X250, what's wrong with the speed ... You've obviously never seen Moutain Chase if you thought these were fast.
The vertical driver was beautiful and "God" was also excellent. The archetecture/landscaping combo is what really got to me. It's lovely, very, very, unbelievably, lovely. The steep hills and cliffs along with custom supports and integrated archetecture with colors that contrast but inhanse the hillside. Amazing. This even had the landscaping that Rift Valley lacked, but Rift Valley's coasters were better and the archetecture barely edges this one out IMO.
Either #1 or #2 in the contest IMO, shame it wasn't done in time.
Very nice park x-sector. You're just as skilled in RCT2 as in LL.
I loved the idea for the park, good album too. Great idea, great execution. It was nice to a change from some of the standard themes, and all the red and pink looked nice and blended well together. I think there were a few building with some black that didn't seem to fit as well, but that's just a minor detail.
"God" was a great coaster, with almost perfect pacing. The duelers looked cool and very Mala-esque, but as others have said, I wish they interacted a little more. Happy Valentines Day was nice as well, and I loved the huge drop with the banks of the cliff on either side. It's shown in iris's first post, the second image. Very cool.
It's too bad this wasn't an official pro-tour entry, but it's still an excellent park.

Beside the woodie, I think that I like almost everything in this park. Oh, and I love the colors.
