  Well... i thought this was nice.
  Funny idea using the minecart coaster as a sled.
  The main coaster wasn't really impressive, i expected a more complex layout with such a coaster, the inversions where minimal.
  Architecture was nice as well.

  I really wish I wouldn't have ran into the blackhole.. really held me back. This park was extremeeeeellyyy rushed. I wanted to redo so much on it but hey, I just mainly wanted to get an entry in so I can start work on some more serious stuff. But I had fun building it and theres a few things in here I like but.
  
  overall, very rushed work. I can't really complain with the score.
  
  Can't wait to see the entries that won design.

  Overall the thing that left you back the most is that... layout. It's bad. Foliage was also very subpar. However you got the architecture down pretty well, even though I'd rather see more of the whimsical take as suess describes his worlds. I also liked the sled idea, but even that the execution wasn't great.
  
  Yeah, I can tell it was rushed. How fast did you finished this Josh?

  There were some great ideas here like the Escape from Mt.Crumpet sled ride, the keyhole inversion on the main coaster, and the little Christmas tree on the mountainside, but everything else didn't really gel. I'm sorry to hear that you ran into trouble with a blackhole error and were forced to rush the entry. Though, given the relatively short nature of this contest I think they were all rushed to varying degrees.
  
  Thanks to you I now have the B&M wingrider coaster too, which should come in handy.

  I really liked this. Really gave me a Christmas feeling and I love The Grinch!
  The architecture gave the perfect vibe of whoville which I liked but you could've added more buildings to make it look more crowded like in the movie.
  
  The sledride was a brilliant idea!
  
  The foliage looked pretty good in most places.
  
  Overall it was just the atmoshpere that made it so enjoyable though.

  Well i got the black hole before I went back home for a week and didn't get back until the 29th.. and spent pretty much the entire time working on trying to get rid of that. i prbly did all of the foliage and all of the buildings except for the restaruant by escape from mt crumpit in about 2 hours.. so yes.. extremely rushed at the end there. (I realized I didn't even name the snow cups ride haha)
  
  There was so much more I wanted to do with this especially with the buildings. I really wanted to try and capture the Whoville spirit, which is very hard to do (i think) in a game that is primarily blocks. I might still do a better version of this idea as it's a theme I really want to expand on.
  
  And yes, I do love Escape From Mt. Crumpit as well. easily my favorite part about the park.

  Nice idea with the invisible mine cart attraction on the mountain.
  
  For some reason I really loved that pink building.
  
  I think you needed to put paths down to break up all the icy land texture.
