i don't think there was one building that looked quite as good as that green building in the italian stallions park. And by god, they had a lot of buildings to try and match that. it hurts me to see so many people not giving the 'cleaner' park more thought whilst voting, there were parts of the bandits' park that were good, yes, but if you put that much scenery into a park some of it is bound to look good and a lot of it didn't, or atleast, not to me. And the coaster, the coaster was hideous! One big flaw. Oh well. Looks like the bandits got this one, congrats.
The Bandits have oviously made the better park. the architecture was gret especially on the main church. the park did resemble the real very much and the coaster though maybe not the best looked great weeving in and out of those supports.
Firebrook was also good just not as much. it looked very incomplet around the edges and the large estate building, though well done, could not stand up to the large church in the center of Mont Saint Michel.
one thing i didnt like about Mont Saint Michel was the path color. that path blended with the building too much and made parts hard to tell the buildings from the path. maybe a different path would be better.

Captain to captain, I feel like I need to defend this comment, even though there might be some truth to it.
I somewhat agree with you on the whole "less is sometimes more" comment in general terms. But in this case, I think every peice of scenery was placed with precision making the whole concept feel organized and meaningful. If you look at the real church, it is cramped and overloaded with material, so its hard for me to agree that his park was overdone rather than merely trying to be accurate.
As for your comment about the coaster, not sure how you came to that conclusion. I thought the coaster was implemented very well and fit nicely as a coaster could be into this setting. It's also a bit unorthodox, which to me, made it more interesting.
I haven't looked at the stallions park yet, but certainly will as soon as possible. I do admit that the mansion building looks amazing from the screens.
The mansion was a let down, for me. It looked great zoomed out, but I zoomed in and just felt that it looked rushed and monotonous. I loved the yellow coaster and the surroundings, although maybe too much of the same fence type used? (You know who you are )
Holy crap. The bandits park blew me away. I think I know one of the 2 parkmakers on both sides, but still. It's the best park of the season so far and I don't know if this level of quality can be reached any time soon.
well. what can i say that hasn't already been said, really. the architecture in the bandits' park was amazing, to say the least. definitely feels like the real place, from what i've seen. the coaster was the downfall to it, though. while unorthodox, it definitely could have been pulled off better. very well built park overall. congrats to the makers, you should be very proud of this park.
something about me really like the stallions' park, i don't know why. there were several flaws to it, besides the general look of unfinishedness. that green mansion was definitely the highlight of the park. that and that gold coaster. i liked that a lot, too, though i would have liked to see more than one car on it. the schwarzkopf i didn't really like, for two reasons. one owould be the series of unbanked turns before the lift and the brakes. surely you could have thought of something else to bring to those two elements more gracefully. the other was the fact that the fastpass didn't even go to the entrance, let along attach to the regular queue.
i don't know, i think i'm going to vote for the stallions, though it doesn't really seem like it will help. =\
Due to severe computer problems, I've only been able so far to see Mont Saint Michel ingame: for sure is looking very impressive and rather accurate!......
From the overview the green building in the Stallions park does look very beautiful also, though in the screen closer by it still seems a bit undetailed.....well.., will have to try and get it working asap to see it in game and have a look at the coasters/rides that were fitted in.....(room enough for that anyway, I would think, as the park seems a tad flat and unfinished....?)
Will edit this one as soon as I could see Stallions park ingame and bring out a vote...
Besides for being my team's park, MSM is quite unbeatable so its obvious where my vote is going...
I found a lot of things about the stalions park I didnt really like. The architecture all around the park was quite bland. That includes the big mansion and the station for the water coaster. The flume part of the coaster should have been one level higher so it looked like the boat was on the water and not on the track. Also, it was annoying waiting about 5 minutes to watch the coaster because it broke down every other second.
I found MSM to be the most visually stunning of the two parks this round. But I can't discount Firebrook Estate just because is seems to be unfinished.
I'm of the mind that any estate that is built into a theme park would retain some of the open areas within the grounds. This would be to keep the open, airy feeling that the estate grounds would have had prior to becoming a theme park. I would have liked to see some more cars/trains on The Voyage as well as the water drop being more in line with the coaster's path.
Now, I didn't have any problems with the coaster breaking down. I installed the RCT2 Reliable patch and the coaster ran just fine.
But saying that, my vote still goes to MSM just because of how much I liked the view when I opened the park.
Well, it's obvious I'm going to vote for my own team, but anyways:
Mt. Saint Michel: Architecture was it's only strong point here, IMO... the coaster was actually below-average and could have been executed better, and the foilage was just nice. While the park as a whole is quite amazing, the entire thing seems sort of crammed in and forced. A bit overated, but definitely the dominant choice here...
FB Estate Theme Park: Not bad, overall. The mansion is nice, but not brilliant by any means, however... it seems somewhat monotonous and drab, and it lacks variation in both form and colors. The coasters were definitely original, but odd... nothing in the park seemed to flow, and it seemed like the mansion was the only main feature.
I voted for Firebrook Estate, because aside from the obvious flaws, I liked the atmosphere and the rides much better than in the other park. If that inverted coaster had a better layout however, I would have definitely voted for Mont Saint Michael. At first I was thinking the exact opposite. Once I got past all the eye candy in the architecture, which has a more immediate wow effect, Mont Saint Michael didn't have much else to offer. That's why I voted for Firebrook Estate Theme Park.
I'm gonna go ahead and call this thing...call me crazy but I don't think the Stallions are going to make a comeback. We have our first (imo) 'great' park of the season with Mont Saint Michel...and if that's not cool enough, it MAY not even be the best park of the week. Masters Edition indeed.

Though, what the fuck was that invert? Seems that few people can build decent rides anymore...
