ImaginIt was again, another 'safe' option - a fairly generic, nice park. The theming and archy is all very nice; as everyone has mentioned, the Japanese area is great. I didn't quite get the overall idea behind the park - neither the ImaginIt name or what you were trying to go for in terms of theme. I mean, there were basically 2 big areas - USA and Japan. Seemed kinda odd. Ride-wise, the park didn't do much for me. Shogun is the stand-out ride, and whilst it LOOKS cool, the layout again lacks any real 'goal' or purpose - it just meanders about for far too long. So yeh... it's a nice park, but came across as generic and playing it safe, with no 'wow'-factor rides.
Peublo Canyon - again, a concept I didn't get. I didn't really understand the park's setting - why is it located there? - I didn't get why there's a broken dam - I didn't get the Canyon Explorer ride. I'd have liked some sort of context for the park. That aside, I think this had JUST more to offer than ImaginIt. I didn't really get the canyon setting, but quite liked it, and found it unique. I appreciate doing something different rather than sticking to the norm. It's certainly well-constructed, with convincing elevation changes. Ride-wise, nothing stood out much - except for the woodie, which is fantastic. Ok, you really shouldn't have labelled it a GCII coaster, but nonetheless, it's a really really great ride. Perfectly paced, large drops, great, surprising and unique layout. Really hard to pull that off that well. Moreover, I could just imagine riding this, and thinking how much fun the ride would be. So yeh, a really great ride - and the only one with any 'wow-factor' on these two maps. And that's why I voted for Peublo.
Note for teams - I'd have appreciated it if you'd included some little notepad file or read-me with the download. Just a couple of sentences, explaining the concept of the park. I literally download the park and open the file; so I don't really get a lot of the concepts going on, unless you include some little readme in the download. I just didn't really get the canyon setting for Peublo and the broken dam and whatnot... and likewise, I didn't get the name or 'two themed lands only' going on in Imaginit.
while peublo was a good park, and i really loved the boardwalk on it, i just felt that some parts were really detailed and some parts were just too simplistic for my tastes, and i wasn't too fond of the woodie either.
edit: and the woddie in peublo screams rattler at SFFT.

What happens is that NE expects you to have the version that you just downloaded (even though you didn't) and you see the code from the one you had previously. I had trouble with this and was beside myself.
Just download, overwrite, open the 'newest' version and write down those vote codes.
I also can't see how Pueblo could possibly be losing by this margin...

I already looked them ingame but i need a second look to decide which i am voting for.
There are no characters that could be confused (i.e. o or 0) so I don't know what it is, I even tried switching the codes around.
Pueblo wasn't really special outside of the woodie... That "adventure ride" pissed me off like none other. Perhaps the worst take on it ever executed. Horrible car type, just went through the walls with no tunnels at all, only two trains. Just... no. And that steel coaster, nothing annoys me more than a coaster that won't leave the station without me having to turn it into test mode. I seriously waited two minutes before I gave up and did that.
I felt their park had a more interesting theme and had the atmosphere that Hurricane's lacked.
I loved the broken Steam Boat and the dam was also marvelous. The woodie was superb, a great use of the landscape. I could really put myself into the park, something I couldn't do with Hurricane's.
There's no debating the execution of the Hurricane's park (although consistency left a lot to be desired), it was nice to look at. Some nice touches, and some things I really didn't like. Didn't come together in a cohesive whole, for me. However, the good parts were almost enough to get my vote.
Almost. The good parts in Pueblo canyon were just that much better. There were some bloody awful parts to this, but at least they were true to the theme being portrayed. That said, the pueblos themselves were one of the most boring parts to this whole contest. I hope you ran out of time, to be honest, because if not then it's just not very good at all. The wooden coaster was brilliant, though, and the spiral coaster brilliant too.
To be honest I didn't really like either park that much, felt that they both were cop outs, with not enough real ideas and content to fill even a small map. Half-assery abound.

It was just my opinion though.. I'm not sure that is yours..

It's just a contest for a game pal, don't go apeshit on an unimportant thing in life such as a computer game.. There are more important things, you know..
