Get your parks in by then!!
I liked the IIICons park, it had a nice feel to it. I was not keen on the rides themselves but the architecture and landscaping was wonderful. Didn't feel very prehistoric IMO.
I was suprised by the prehistoric park, it was visually brilliant, but I really enjoyed it. It was plain and the architecture wasn't special, but it fitted the theme really nicely.
After studying the 2 a bit more, my vote is going for the IIIcons park.
Marshy
But anyway, my vote also went to the germans.
Germans park was great, themeing was great and so were the recs of volcanos,oil rigs,tidal waves etc. But the architecture was extremely boring and dull, it is the same sort of theme i have seen like a hundread times and the colour scheme was pretty dull. That wasnt the parks major flaw, the major flaw was that it had no strong coaster, in a way if this park had a coaster it would have been 10x better. shame really.
IIIcons park was also great but again had flaws the architecture was very weird and imo didn't execute the dino theme that well, although it was a good idea to do the buildings like that i just don't think they came across as good as they could of. The thing i did like about this park was the coasters, they were amazing and the landscaping was perfect in some parts, again if it had better architecture this park would have kicked some serious arse.
Anyways after ALOT alot of thinking i decided to vote for the IIIcons, their entry just seemed more complete and stronger, really a hard one for me to vote on.
Ahh well.
Still confused on how it's so one-sided, but good job to both teams for getting in completed parks. Change of pace from last week.

I'll look at the parks in a bit and post my thoughts. They both look great from the overviews.
Yeah mantis, I knew that, but it's still so annoying.
The Germans park was excellent, but it just didnt flow like a park should imo. It mainly had to do with the brown architecture; although structurally brilliant, it got pretty old pretty quick. The volcanos were incredible, especially the lavaflows, as was the custom wave over the track. Whoever made this obviously has played LL before.
The IIcons park was refreshingly fun. So many rides, so many little touches; it came together very nice. There were some flaws, like the sloppy entrance and somewhat ordinary architecture in places. The rides (duelers in particular) were all stellar. The abundance of rides really held the park together. Without so many rides, this park would've been quite boring imo. You guys did good with ride integration as well.
In the end, my vote went to the IIcons for having the better rides and theme integration into the rides...
I ended up voting for Disatrous Paradise though. The architecture was just so jaw-dropping (although PJ's arch had originality, there just needed to be more, I suppose). I liked both parks though, nice work 2 all!

And personally, to me, this is rides vs theming. Most people are more swayed by theming. The more indepth people actually look at rides.
Corscrewed I'd like to think of myself as an "in-depth" person, but if forced to choose between theming and coasters, I'd choose theming. This is a parkmaking competition, and theming is more important to the overall experience of a park than coasters.
Just as a real world example which is the better park: Magic Mountain or Disneyland?
Maybe you would choose Magic Mountain, but "I'm going to Disneyland!", or would be, and it's because I'm "in-depth".
