After 5 votes by the judges, the winner, by a score of 4 to 1, is... Camcorder22

Camcorder22 advances on to the Sweet 16 where he will face the winner of the Blitz vs. Comet match-up.

Shame... I had a feeling I would lose the second I got a good idea for Round 3 . Anyway, congrats Camcorder I'll take a look at your park soon but it looks pretty cool from the overview. I will admit that I would have been angry if you had beat me like this with Thrill Towers but it looks like you stepped up and built a very solid entry so the best man won here I guess.


As far as my entry goes, I thought it might have put up a better fight than that but I can see why it lost. I would have used a better idea but after being sick for a week and then having to do all my finals in one day and Christmas stuff and writeups I just didn't really have the time to pull off anything new. So I used my spare micro and polished it up in a day before sending it in. It's decent I think but certainly not my best work. If there's one thing I do like it's the landscaping but really that's about it.

Nice entries guys, and congrats to Camcorder22!

OLE - I'm almost ashamed. Almost. I expected more from you, being a #6 seed. But it was a very nice entry. The mine train had a decent layout, which was, IMO, better than Camcorder's.

Camcorder22 - Instant favorite! I had an idea similiar to this for Round 1, but I was afraid I wouldn't have been able to pull it off, so I put it off to the side. It's nice to see what it really ended up looking like, even though it wasn't my entry.

Again, congrats to Camcorder22 for making it to the Sweet 16!

Really close one, but I lean towards OLE here. I love the atmosphered and the mine train was excellent. Cam had great idea, but imo the exaction was loppy and nither of the rides were that good. I can't help getting the feeling he won due to it's scale because the basics seemed to lack.

Good match either way

Nice thats another good Christmas present

Thanks judges for being able to get this done even on Christmas.

I like OLE's entry from the overview, surprised he only got one vote, since mine was a bit unorthodox. Atmosphere looks great and I thought it looked good which is coming from someone who doesn't like much LL material.

Kumba, I hope you made the mistake in the park spelling and not me. Although it looks pretty cool spelled like that. But if anyone is wondering, it is Peruvian

yea, after he won with Thrill Towers I knew beating that kind of style of a large scale would be tough and I knew that I had to really pull out all the stops with an entry against him or risk being overshadowed, sadly I just didn't have the time to do what I wanted and had to settle for an entry that I knew would struggle against whatever he cooked up... thanks for the kind words though

Xin- I've already stated why that's all I could enter so it's not like that my best... thanks for the comment

Tough one... I'm not a really huge fan of either, but I think I'd go with Camcorder's in the end. I think Ole's coaster was better-- Cam's was far too fast through the nice parts, which kind of ruined it for me. I liked the little river ride around the tree and buildings-- that was a nice touch, but besides that it looked more impressive from the screenshots. It's not like either were horrible entires, though-- both had some really cool stuff in it-- and I think this might be the biggest trees I've ever seen in the game. Congrats to camcorder for getting to Round 3!

Its a real shame OLE and MA are out because i would of loved to see more work from you both. Anyway Camcorder deserved this win. I like the ideas you have. Nice to see you in the top 16.

Well I took a look at your entry Camcorder and I must say it was quite nice. It's a step up from Thrill Towers which is good to see, keep striving to improve. Probably my favorite bit was the river ride hacked around the bottom, well done there. Most of the architecture was alright if a little messy and the trees were decent although could be done better. The coaster did nothing for me though as the layout was too awkward and too fast. Overall it's an improvment and I love your style. My two bits of advice would be: 1) Keep building like this, you've got some great ideas and good ways to approach executing them and if you keep working at your basic skills you could end up building something really special and 2) Work on your coasters, even in an unorthodox entry you need to make the layouts actualy flow with and add to the theming rather just be there for the sake of having a coaster. Try to add more interaction and incorperate your major rides into your parks by visualizing certain areas where everything really comes together. So far in your work it seems like the rides and theming are seperate without any harmony between them.

Sorry for the ramble but I'm liking the way you build so keep at it .

your entry, OLE, was amazing.
I can see why camcorder won though (size does matter..)

OLE: Can't look at the entry in-game due my lack of a LL-disc But from the screen it looks nice and clean. Maybe you should have tried a bit more on the space. Something more extra-ordinaire.

Camcorder22: The idea was great. The execution a bit sloppy. The coaster was a bit intense, as CP6 said. And I also liked the river below. The entry really suprised me positively. Looking forward to your next entry!
