While i agree with the RMC being out of place here and the park will still get my vote.
Coasters can and do run in freezing conditions and in the snow.
my only complaint is that I couldn't find the needle
The poll is open, it will remain open for 72 hours.
Personally, I prefer the Replacements' RMC thus far. I do quite enjoy Spacecrabs' work here, but the coaster is not the high point for me.
But honestly, who cares. I actually care more that it looks forced.
Strangeloves park is great too. Beautiful arch, just overall composition seems off. This was a hard vote, but I went with haystack.
Looks like i‘m with the unpopular opinion overhere, interesting to see, overall it‘s a pretty close matchup for me. Both teams managed well to execute the concept their park is based on and both did some amazing work overhere.
I always wanted to build a ski resort, glad we finally have the objects for that now. This shows what Erlebnispark could have been. The ski tracks are done very well and a love the map, also some of the little details like the helicopter amazed me. The problem I have with this is that the architecture doesn‘t keep up with Strangelove‘s for me, and in my opinion the overall park quality besides the mountain area also doesn‘t. I didn‘t mind the RMC, yes, it felt weird, but I just didn‘t cared.
Strangelove‘s architecture is beautiful! The train station is one of my favorite buildings from the contest so far and overall, the park‘s quality is very high up. This also shows great how you can work with path, different levels, bridges etc. to elevate the atmosphere of your park. It misses 1-2 „wow“ moments more compared to the other park, but I though the overall quality was a tad better, which is why I went with this one. Great work from both teams though and a fantastic matchup!
Grand Central seemed unusually glitchy to me. Trains clipping through structures everywhere (particularly the vertical drop coaster), lots of flashing overlapping textures, and the sheer number of trains meant that train whistle sound was playing constantly which became incredibly annoying. Mount Haystack was essentially perfect, even though I agree the RMC is a little overkill for the space and atmosphere. The lodge and resort buildings are both ridiculous in the best possible way. I would love to see this on a bigger scale because the mountain feels so tiny compared to the buildings but the buildings are pretty much perfectly sized.
I thought all the coasters this round were ugly and unnecessary - but in terms of everything else, I much preferred Mount Haystack.
The archy of Grand Central was impressive in some places but the overall park was very stale and inconsistent, but Haystack was so much fun and had a very happy atmosphere. And the two big structures were so well done and very clean too! The concept was just incredibly convincing in general, much more than Grand Central, in my eyes. Thus, Haystack gets my vote.
Voted Haystack
Seems like this thread is starting to go in the right direction, but just wanted to emphasize that if you haven't yet, please give Grand Central the viewing and reviewing it deserves. Holding off on a full review cause it will inevitably be biased, but its a great park that's worth checking out and I'm sure the builders will appreciate the feedback. Thank you to everyone who has given solid reviews for both parks so far

That's just telling you that going to heaven is an impossible dream. No reason to stop sinning, we're all going straight to hell.
Grand Central
Really solid park with some of the best large scale architechture this season. The central station itself reminded me a bit of the main building in Arcanis Mineralis. (which is a good thing). Was great fun to watch the trains run their course and there were some nice nods to real life railways with the slums and the industrial area.
+ Great Architecture
+ Lots of Trains
+ Well executed multi layering gives depth without being crowded.
+ Waterside areas were a hightlight
+ Hopscotch
- Not a huge fan of either coaster even though they are miles better than some seen this year.
Mount Haystack
Wow a fully operating Ski resort. This park has some very nice large scale architecture as well And the huge lodge at the bottom is brilliant. The Alpine coaster is a great addition and really fits the park. The multple different ski runs and routes down are great. The rails and jump section is great and i love the jump off the cliff near the top.
+ Fresh idea executed almost perfectly
+ Great architecture
+ Custom ride types done right in a beliveable setting
+ The helicopter rescue
+ Figureskater spinning around
+ Peeps having sex while singing?
- That RMC. I'm perfectly happy with there being a coaster here but I am still not sold on these RMCs. Its better than the one earlier this season but i hate those barrel roll/corkscrew combos with a passion.
Overall i think both parks are very strong. Probably between 75% and 80% for me on both although the freshness of Haystack just pips Grand Central for me.
Grand Central was really interesting, kinda some weird moments here and there. I was expecting something more NYC and a bit disappointed that didn't deliver. It kinda falls into that uncanny valley between realism and fantasy that leaves me confused.
The resort was really well executed and the freshness left a good taste. I don't know that I actually preferred it to Grand Central in terms of enjoyment, but did find the execution to be superior enough to win my vote.
Both parks would have been better without thier coasters lol
i think there's a class of builders emerging that are less and less into adding coasters in parks. I wasn't gonna have in mekong but russel pushed for it
heavy architecture train park is cool, nice elevation layers, i like elevations, cool park.
best snow park since snowdrift - only snow park since snowdrift? convincing. i liked the rmc, a tad buried in places, but most realistic and convincing use of rmc elements, louis approved.
