    I loved it Casimir, is Santa still alive? :lol:
    You're buildings could use a bit more refinement i guess, but overall, i enjoyed it.

    Looking forward to more.

    I felt like you needed more, smaller buildings. And trying to include all those villains at once diminished them quite a bit. Not sure how much better you could have worked the Christmas theme in though...

    This entry kinda sums up a lot of things going terribly right and wrong in the community today. The buildings were pretty stunning in their scale, if not in their details, and the theme was pretty nicely worked together with another theme creatively. The road-level environment was quite inviting and when I first opened the park I couldn't help but wonder why it hadn't placed higher... Then I actually went around the the coaster...

    Even though it clearly had some thought put into it with the water feature and the coaster, and the open space around it, was the biggest weakness. It didn't look particularly well planned for, half-straddling barren "park" and water. The coaster just looks like an afterthought. I admit that it could be argued that a coaster in a city always will look like an afterthought, but I disagree... It's about the use of space to frame the ride to the viewer... and the layout should be a home run... which it's far from. It's a bummer because I really like the environment. It just seems a bit under-planned so things didn't come together in an appealing way.

    Besides that I think the presentation of all the villains was a bit unnecessary and it would've probably helped if you'd stuck to just one or two of them... Mr. Freeze seems like the obvious one, but maybe that's just me?

    Anyway, I did really like the roadway, the subway, the main idea, and the architecture. I thought it needed better planning/layout to frame it's main attraction better to both the peep and RCT viewer. Not a bad entry at all, and my 2nd favorite of the lot so far after "Frostbite"

    I fully agree with Ride6. It could've been more. Still a good effort though, hence the 60%.

    As amazing as the Batman movies are, I really don't think they can translate into RCT to well. It's a great effort, but just did not have the magic it needed to really work.

    btw, Cas used a tall corner corrugated roof I sent him, but it's a messy, non-final version. Please don't use it in any releases. I hope to post a final version in a few days.

    I liked this a lot, hence my vote. I mean, yes the layout wasn't amazing, but it wasn't awful. The architecture was well created, albeit a bit large and out of scale. But what made it special for me was the crashed sleigh, the subway and little details like that, it just was really interesting and fun to look at with an interesting theme too.

    What I enjoyed most about this entry was the small thoughtful details that summed this design up. The layout was actually pretty good from a fantasy standpoint, but the small details were what enhanced it and brought it to that next level. The diagonal crashed sleigh was epic, it took me a while to even notice it, the gift objects were clever and well made, and I enjoyed trying to find all of the recognizable names from the movies in the staff. Great design overall, looking back I don't think it was completely worth the 80% I voted, (that might be explained by my sheer love for Batman) but this should still be worthy of design for sure. Great job making something different Cas, definitely one of the more memorable maps from the contest for sure.

    I loved the idea of this and theme. There was a lot of thought put into the theme and story etc which I really made this.

    The subway and boat was very cool.

    The coaster was a little weak but not too bad. And some of the buildings seemt too large and under detailed but it was a very good and a very original entry. Good stuff Cas.
