From the overview Celtic looks incredible... there goes our shoe-in
The thatched roofs in Celtic Legends are a stroke of genius. Formorian Frenzy is the stand-out of the round too, though Celeste is brilliant. I liked the atmosphere in Valle Del Amanecer more and the architecture and composition overall is much stronger, but Legends is more lively and fun. Celtic Legends feels a lot more modern to me, and for that reason I think I prefer Valle Del Amanecer a little more. Super strong round though, either of these would likely have taken their match in W1 or W2.
Yeah, this will be a tough vote... both are strong parks, and so vastly different from each other. Hmmmm....
just got a chance to check this out- awesome park lllawbreakers (you guys are so prolific!). The archy is all great- tall and vibey. The rooves work very well and the cliffs are amazing. the rides are weird and vary in aesthetic quality but I love the risk taking and the overall color scheme of the park is great. well done!
Valle del Amanecer: Excellent park, really a great atmosphere and feel to the whole thing. Technically sound with great landscaping. I wish it was a little more alive, but overall I think this is a solid park, great effort here Lisa and company.
Celtic Legends: Wow!! Park of the contest for me so far. This thing is amazing from start to finish. The unique ride selection and naming, theming, landscaping, atmosphere, everything. I really enjoyed this one Lawbreakers. And the broken down ride music effect, genius!
Awesome round by everyone, my vote goes to the lawbreakers.
Celtic Legends: I wouldn't say this park is my favorite of the contest so far like csw, but I do think it is pretty original and the theming is very well done. The roofing is cool.. and I really like the archy in places. I for some reason like the bumper boat station building a lot. The one thing I think that sorta bugs me a bit with this park is how huge everything feels near Formorian Frenzy. The first reverse part of layout has so much vertical land textures and coaster supports that its not aesthetically pleasing to me. But having said that, the queue for Serpent over the pond next to Formorian Frenzy is very well done.
Also, really liked the station and area around the side friction coaster. The white supports kinda stuck out to me though.
When's the voting going to close? Also hoping for some more reviews.

Round 4 Match 1 will be posted in 20 hours, minus one hour for every new post reviewing these two parks, with no minimum length requirement.
very well done jag, impressive stuff! sad we couldn't grab it coz I love our park but a good round anyway.
Was my first post considered a proper review?
Best parks and match of the contest, here's a quick review:
Valle Del Amanecer:
+ Love the landscaping, it was consistent throughout the park, mixed in with pops of foliage
+ Lovely architecture... some of the supporting buildings were stronger than the station itself
+ Actually really liked the bridges for some reason, simple but effective
+ Simple, yet enjoyable coaster layout. Can't get too crazy with suspended coasters anyway... love the blue!
+ Great overall atmosphere, fully immersive
- As H2H8/8 has shown me, it's tough to make a park alive without peeps, this design needed more life!
Celtic Legends:
+ Really love the cliffside setting, great landscaping
+ Just adore the little corner around the Formarian Frenzy station, best archy in the park IMO
+ I think I like the coaster layouts, the woodie is funky for sure, though I'm a bit torn...
+ Favorite ride in the park is Serpent of Saint Patrick, really creative!
+ Nice supporting scenery: ships, gardens, bridges etc
- Archy kind of drove my nuts, while I liked the thatched roofs, most of the trackitecture didn't really work for me
- Didn't grasp all the tents in the ocean, if it was meant to be rocks, just use rocks... kind of an eye sore
Again, best matchup of the contest so far, I went with Valle Del Amanecer. Great job to both Poke and Jag!
@Ling Glad you liked that thatched roofs and yeah, I agree, my park doesn't really have that much of a classic feel to it.
@Cocoa Thank you, glad that you liked the achy and cliffs, and yeah the rides are a little out there, lol.
@csw Thank you... I'm glad you noticed the broken ride effect... I hope it gets used more often... provides a decent dark ambiance.
@bigshootergill I appreciate it. If you're wondering what the octagon tents were, they're supposed to be a representation of Giant's Causeway... a concept much easier to execute in rct2 lol.
Now onto Valle Del Amanecer: When I first opened this, I thought the composition was great but didn't think it was an interesting park (it could've have been more vibrant and 'alive' I guess). I retract the latter statement. I think the simplicity, like the lack of trackitecture outside of the windows and the raised waterfall rapids (which look great) was a good thing. The usage of paths as terrain is also an underused strategy.
This park doesn't try too hard to catch your attention, it just unassumingly presents great landscaping and composition. Once complaint however is the seemingly abrupt brake run on the suspended coaster before the second chainlift. All in all, it's one of the highest quality entries of the contest and early-on, one I expected to lose to, lol.
The bright colors in the windows was a dead giveaway that Poke was the majority builder here, though that was pretty funny. Expected Posix to be on this as well just due to the theme and some of the stylistic elements. Sad to see it lose, but Celtic' was a pretty nice park as well, just didn't quite hit the right beats to me, happy to see more Jaguar work as always.
Surprised to see the Domain Names lose here; great park guys.
Congrats on the accolade Poke. Bit too low of a score, but at least above 70.
