Hurricanes 49
MoLLesters 15
The Hurricanes advance to the H2H Finals to take on the winner of the Seal Clubbers vs Flying Germans, a match that has suddenly gotten pretty tight. They finally get the MoLLester monkey off their back and claim the North Division Championship.
The Hurricanes' Aviara Cove was made by Corkscrewed and Kumba.
The MoLLesters' Tissot Archipelago was made by Natelox and Roomraider/Gutterflower.

This park was started last summer, before the redraft. I was inspired by a project I had seen at work showing a hotel with waterfalls flowing down the sides of the main 20 story tall building and fountains everywhere. The idea of "watertecture" was pretty inspirational, and even though this proposed hotel never got built, I thought it would be a great idea for an H2H park.
Our first attempt was pitiful. Our old team members may attest to that. But then CoasterEd gave me some great words of encouragement, and I revised the plan to the cliffside cove idea with a huge damn, architecture heavily integrated with water, and a neat ToT ride. All of this was original when we began, anyway...
Anyway, credit for the parts of the park:
Corkscrewed
- Most of the architecture
- ToT ride
- landscaping
- park concept
- starting half of the underwater ruins
- big dam and waterfall
Kumba
- flying coaster
- water slide ride
- vertical water coaster
- underground chambers
- other half of the ruins.
So essentially, I served as inspiration, and Kumba did a helluva job satisfying the idea I had in mind.
I gotta give Kumba a ton of credit. Kid's got tons of talent, and as I've mentioned privately before, I think he's got enormous potential, but he lacks discipline. Once Kumba gets the discipline down, instead of going super haywire wild all the time, I think he can honestly go down as one of the greatest parkmakers of all time. At least the skill level is there. I guess I sorta tempered him in this park.
Sorry if the above paragraph sounded really vain. I'm not trying to come off that way.
In any case, I think Tissot deserved more credit than it was given. It's classic Natelox style, which I love, and there really is no theming flaw in the park. The coaster is what hurt it the most, but the rest of the park was really awesome. Really, I think it's pretty similar to Spirits Bay in the feeling it gives you. In any case, I don't think either parkmaker should be disappointed by his submission... except for whoever was in charge of fixing the coaster.
Anyway, yay us, and we'll see ya in the Finals. Now get to the other thread and show input there too!
I really had fun working with you Cork, I think we compliment each other very well and im proud that this park was so even with us each doing about half, its a good example of teamwork imo.
MoLLesters you annoyed us all season, i'll admit I never thought you'd get as far was you did with LL, but you guys did do very well all year. I think your mistake in this match-up was that Tissot played it way to safe, the archy was really nice, and the go-karts were great, but I was really suprised by the lack of anything that could "wow" someone. Great job makeing it so far, we will rep the North in the finals for you.
Thanks to everyone for your comments, most noteably Ed, im very happy you liked it that much, and the 1,358 word post was a nice read
Kumba
The flyer was extremely well paced too. Cannot fault Aviara Cove at all.
The LL park was nice, very nice. But Aviara Cove just stunned me.

Anyone in the Mollesters camp want to make that coaster work, so we can actually see it?
Been away for a week so completly missed this thing being released.
Cant believe that one little mistake killed the coaster. (the piece into the tunnel is just set at the wrong angel. change that flat piece to an inclined piece and it works fine) had i not been rushed to go on this field trip i would of had more time to test it. i do apologise.
Anyway twas a pleasure to work with you nate.
has been an interesting season for me as i played the Hurricanes 3 times... 1 win, 1 loss and 1 draw
cheers

Anyways, after further review of Tissot and getting that coaster to work, i think the coaster was sweet and deserved more credit. The archy was very classic Nate and brings me back to the site as it was 2 years ago when i left it.
It saddens me though, how the original NE style is now being obliterated by the new RCT2 stuff.
UIX anyone?
Man how i love LL.
