Description
Liampie: "My first park in H2H5. I was the one to first build on the map, but I didn't know much about RRP's current style so I was very unsure about virtually everything... When he first built though, I started to make some progress. Sadly not enough progress, because we didn't finish before the deadline due to hacks not working and me struggling with the chaotic park layout and style. The last night I built until 5 AM, when suddenly a land tower appeared. When I couldn't fix it, I just stopped and submitted it. It wasn't going to be finished anyway... Eventually the park was 80% finished, and it won over the Minutemen's park which was pretty good too.
It was an honour to build with RRP, just a shame that I didn't really know what to do. Nowadays I would've done this totally different. I'm still proud of this though. The atmosphere is great." -

I really loved the atmosphere there, it had that utopia-mysterious-feeling (?!), and it reminded me of Janus' En Midvinternattsdröm. Also the park + readme and music made me want to play that game (i've never heard of it before). I don't quite understand though why costum1.wav is in double speed...
The Germans' park was very good aswell, it just didn't intrigue me that much. If it were finished, the choice would possibly be harder.
It is to Leo.
And I guess the better question is, if we all voted for the same criteria, would we even need this contest?
I had no preforemance loss at all when watching that park so I would like to see a version with water once, cause I think that will give it even more atmosphere, if you do it right (so not use the ingame water but use transparant objects).
the other parks was nice but had some unfinnished stuff in it and some slopy things (like entrances still visible etc). altough the park wasn't bad I tought bioshock was better cause it had some really nice things. and gave something new from every angle.
BioShock - Welcome to Rapture:
I know the game BioShock, but I've never played it. There were some things I liked. The crashed plane in the water, The archy and the atmosphere beyond the sea. I took a lot of time to view the park calmly. But the longer I looked, the more I was confused. Why were the coasters going out in the water? Why's there a log flume in the middle of the ocean? Why is the music high pitched? If it was fantasy OK, but the theme is about an isolated civilization out in the sea and so why do people can live under water? Did they got some gills? H.P. Lovecraft anyone? Although it could have been a nice idea, it was just too strange for me.
Calypso Quay:
This was simply the best water park I've ever seen. Period. I loved the entrance area and how the peeps waited in line to get a entrance ticket, very clever idea! Everything was just amazing, from the foliage to the working rides to the peepability! I do agree that the flyer as awesome it really was, didn't fit in. A rollersoaker would've been way better. I wasn't sure about the overall theme of it. It looked a bit European but still it's called Calypso Quay and is a water park. I understand if it's themed after Blizzard Beach or something then it'd fit, but this way I was missing some sort of concept. Pity you need to use RCTModified to watch it properly, but still... I'm impressed! For me it was the best park this far and also the best water park ever, so please finish!
"MFG"
I agree with basically everything said about the parks so no need to add anything... except the readme was confusing. It was written from multiple points of view in different times. (Like present, past, etc.) That said, it could be written by a foreigner in which case it would be fine.
Also, the Hurricanes/Whzz Kids match is going to be great.

While your first park lacked in originality, this park totally compensates that! Awesome idea. I never played Bioshock, but I once saw a trailer of it. When I opened the park, I recognized it quite fast so that's positive. There are two main problems with this park. The first problem is that there isn't much too look at. Most of the park consists of rocks, roofs and walls, altough the interiors were very pleasant. The second problem is the lagging of the park, it's really annoying. The coasters were hard to follow, and when the game runs slow like this it's even boring to watch them. Because of these two problems combined I didn't view this park for too long. Actually, the game crashed when I zoomed out and I didn't feel like restarting the game. I was done with the park. Despite these problems, the architecture was cool and as I said the concept was too. Congratulations on finishing this park!
I thought Turtle and DelLagos worked on this park, but apparently I was wrong about Turtle. I'm glad about that, I usually love Turtle's work and it would be a dissapointment if this park was his too...

Working on this park was extreme. The night before the deadline I went to sleep at 5 am! The park during construction was confusing in some places, which slowed down my building process. RRP also suddenly noticed how slow he builds. I pity the fact that the park is unfinished, but the park is probably cursed.
Here's a screen of who did what:
RRP did all the rides, except for the Master Blaster, the Bowl Slides and the Looping Slide. We're both involved in designing the coaster. The huge watertank was a diving pool btw, I'm suprised some people didn't recognize it as there was a tower next to it, with some diving boards at different heights.
It was a great pleasure to work with RRP. Without him, the park would probably be nothing. I started with shit, but he pushed me into the right direction, so thanks!
The Flying Germans are back in the game!
Not sure if the win is deserved, because the FG park is too unfinished for me, so I can't judge correctly.
