Congrats to the winners. Unfortunately we only had one full match-up and that was a shutout, but hopefully the competition will increase in round two, since we have some interesting match-ups. Good luck to everyone who advanced...and everyone get ready for round 2!

The Neotreme- now, i've heard of monotremes, but not neotremes! Anyway, this kicked royal ass. The white/magenta was a brilliant combination, and I loved that burnt out building. The coaster was great (especially the dive loop through the vertical loop) and the foliage was just as good. All round amazing - that blockwork is something to be proud of. Great entry.
Cosmic Junkyard- well I got an error trapper the first time, not off those pink things, but off some other piece of coaster scenery. Such is the wonder of rct2. ARGH. Anyway, it was worth loading it up again because the architecture was really fun to look at and the retarded flying slug made me laugh (I wonder what's next in the long line of schizo flying animals lol). The coaster was great except for the shitty brake run and achingly slow batwing. Seriously, what possesses people to use such harsh brake runs/block brakes? They're totally ridiculous IMO, even if they're meant to be realistic or whatever. I hate them. But yes, a great entry, and complete too! Good stuff.
Tomb Raider- I quite liked the architecture and coaster, and the scenery was pretty cool too. I didn't completely get immersed in it, though, which I think is the same for a lot of your work, Aero. Really, DMA is the only park of yours i've completely got into...a lot of the time I appreciate the skill and learn from it, but never get fully drawn in. Oh well, you can't please everyone, I suppose, but I do applaud your work and always gain something from it, even if I never fully love it like I do some other parks. Well done on this entry.
Äkyantho'- hmm, unfinished! What was there was nice, especially the wooden supports on different bits of track. Mapwork and landscaping were looking good, coaster was a tad slow. But there's not much to say when there's not much there, i'm afraid. Good name, though.
Wrecked Resort Falls- well, I thought the switchback hack was pretty nifty, and the broken chairlift, and the crumbling buildings. But the landscaping was pretty poor, especially with the square pool and coastlines. I didn't much like the overall non-building scenery, either - it takes a lot to make a snow theme really jump out, and this was lacking somewhat. But good job, anyway, and hopefully this is part of an ongoing improvement, because it shows potential.
So, The Neotreme gets my vote, but Cosmic Junkyard came close. Plus, The Neotreme is the first entry that I haven't had to load twice - which just goes to show that you can totally kick ass WITHOUT stupid extra custom scenery which I don't have! Well done DJ!
aero21 would be my runner-up. I think the layout is what did it to me. I really, really did not like the tophat and the cobra roll was mishapen. I think it's sort of strange that you can mishape an element using prefab parts. :\
To be honest none of the other coasters really appealed to me.
The rest of the entrys were all pretty cool but for some reason just didn't impress me. I think my runner up would have been Cosmic Junkyard because it seemed so fun and interesting.
Congrats to all the winnners!
I get the "You just got 404'd on by a crow. Go back." page.
I guess I'm the only one though?

I expected more from Janus, but I think he had very little time or something.
Anyway, I'm sure he'll pick it up next round. Can't wait.
Anyways, congradulations to everyone who advanced!

All the hacks and colors made for a really fun and unique entry. Great job.
DarkJanus still got my vote though. I love the tile work here. Awesome colors, too.

Aero's was my second favorite; it probably had the best "total package," but it just falls a tad short in my eyes.
I wasn't too impressed with DarkJanus's though. The layout was okay and the 1/4 tile stuff seemed to serve no purpose. I can tell it took a lot of time and skill though.
