H2H5 / [H2H5] Round Robin | Round 4 | Match 3

^^Dinotopia is a book. This park is based off the book.

Anyway, I loved that book when I was little. I read it cover to cover and even read some of the other Dinotopia-based story books that came out. To be fair to the Canes, this one was hard to recreate. As somebody who is familliar with all this, I had imagined it all to a level of grandeur that RCT is barely even capable of. I liked the park enough, though. I thought the hatchery was cool, as was the whole town area where the dinosaurs were "walking" around the streets. The Pangea globe was a nice touch, but I seem to remember it being a lot more impressive in the book. I think there was even a whole illustration devoted to the inner-workings of Waterfall City. Whatever...that would have been a pain in the ass I imagine. One thing that would have been really neat is if you guys would have included Treetown. Hell, you could basically make a whole park off that. Either way, it's evident the parkmakers here did know a good deal about what they were doing. Nice park guys.

Trust me, we all looked at that site a lot.

Awesome. Now that I got a hold of RCT2, I voted Belmont. It was class from one end of the map to the other, no way else to describe it. It really made me feel like I was there, and that's something special to do in RCT.

i think belmont shores made me pregnant.

dinotopia, the archy was great, but the rides were very lacking indeed.
belmont, brilliant everything. jeez. first SWS then this?

agreed the invert in dinotopia is up there with worst coasters of all time

Where's the vote code of Dinotopia? Can't find it in the custom message...

Download it again.

I had the same problem.

By along shot the best park of the season and if that isn't Curtis's work then I have no clue who it is.
-JDP

Hurricanes
Nice park, but nothing stunning. Average...

+ Theme
+ Most architecture
+ Cave
+ Dinosaur objects

- Coasters
- Landscaping (especially the waterfalls, they didn't look good IMO)
- Some architecture
- Detailling. while every building was very detailed, there was nothing special; no signature details.

This sounds more negative than I actually am. I just can't find many good things to highlight...

Rating: 12/20

Whzz Kids
Wow.

+ Pulling off a cliche theme in a new exciting way
+ Screamin' Swing (wow)
+ Shore (both the beach and the rocks, wow)
+ Overall atmosphere (extremely real)
+ Amount of details without making the park look too busy
+ Shops
+ Roads
+ Flow
+ Working hammergamething

- Some objects (trees)
- Go karts
- There's just too little of this stuff!

Just wow, this has to be one of the best realism parks ever made. The whole atmosphere and the music really made it a feelgood-park, which I really like. Wow. You've got my vote. Wow...

Rating: 19/20




BTW, before some Elementalists are starting to complain, in general I appreciate fantasy as much as realism. I didn't prefer a realism park over a fantasy park here, I prefer an extremely good park over an in my opinion average park.

Congratulations to the Whzz Kids for such an amazing park. I haven't seen it ingame yet but the overview looks great! This is probably the best park so far! As I haven't seen it ingame yet though I can't really say a lot.
But what sticks out to me from the overview is the great detail!! I love the stores and the restaurant. The woodie looks great and the streets with the cars are amazing too! Rent-a-bike is a stunning idea aswell.


Not to say anything bad though because I like the way the competition is set up but this is definately one of the bad parts about letting vote percentage decide which park is better. Everybody knows who is going to win this matchup but I have to say that our park is really great in my opinion aswell. There are a lot of beautiful details and I love the whole concept. I think if it'd have been up against other parks it would most likely have won since it is something different and in my opinion nicely done.


This is very unfortunate for us because I think if you look at the overall quality of our team's parks we have achieved great things so far and this matchup might throw us back really far.
But as I said before, amazing park by the Whzz Kids and I hope to see more of this stuff from you (but only after the competition is over please ;] ).

Yes...the sky bucket cars still finding usefulness. Whzz Kids, love the park. Very realistic hacks.

Thanks RRP, i never knew it would be so simple

Damn, I didn't think I would see a park I liked more then Red River Delta for the rest of the competition and it comes to me in the very next match-up.
By far my favorite park of this season, Whzz Kids.

I know to most of you winning is everything, but I have to say that even the losing park is a winner. I can tell lots of planning, time, and ideas went into Dinotopia and it was a great park and its just a shame you won't win. This was the best matchup yet. The Belmont Shores park is my favorite park so far, as others have said...its just crazy with ideas and everything is executed perfectly.

Like posix said in the other topic, in h2h6 if it's done all the parks for a round should be released at once and then ranked 1-6 then averaged and lowest wins. This is the latest case going for it.


Dinotopia could have been even more epic if it used a larger map. Its coasters were ass.

Belmont, barring some open spots that could easily have a custom stand or something in them, was perfect. So many original hacks, too.

I'm calling it now.... biggest H2H comeback of all time.

This really is too bad for the hurricanes, they just got matched up with the wrong park this round. Dinotopia really is an amazing park, unfortunately, Whzz Kids have some absolutely phenomenal here.

Belmont Shores

I found this park great. Not awesome or amazing or out of this world, but it really was a nice park. I don't really see what makes the park so fantastic for other people but i'm happy to accept that some people really do find it that way. To me, it's just another well executed realistic park.
The little touches here and there were really nice, the hammer game, the peeps riding bicycles. It all added up to make the park stand out a little bit more, without these there wouldnt have been a whole lot to look at and ultimately make the park a bit mediocre.
I found that whilst the roads were well done, they were a bit excessive, once you've seen one road done well, you dont need to see a whole bunch of others. I know it adds to the whole point of the park, that it's just a small road-side park with a classic woodie etc, but for me it took more away from the park than what it added.
Coaster design was great, park layout was great, ride selection was great, there just wasnt anything there that leapt out to me to make the park something special.
However clearly my opinion doesnt speak for anyone else as you are winning by quite a margin lol

Highlights:
-Woodie's Layout
-Guests riding Bicycles
-Volleyball Court

Dinotopia

I just felt that this park submerged in the theme better. It had some great architecture, lots more to see and whilst, like Belmont Shores, there was nothing really special, it was still a great park and one that I really enjoyed viewing.
The coasters were lacking and some really were just awful, but the overall theme made up for it and I really liked the custom Top Spin with the facade behind.
The park's concept and overall idea was really good, it's always nice to see a different theme being portrayed although some parts didnt really flow together all that well, like the Asian style area in the top corner but after reading the read-me it makes more sense, so a real good job you put that in there.
The ride interaction was really good too.

Highlights:
-Ride Interaction
-Park Theme/Concept
-The underground cave section with the eggs and nests - really great.

Overall
Overall I felt that both parks were great, solid entries, just for me Dinotopia edged Belmont Shore as it offered more to see and submerged me into the theme better. Vote went to Hurricanes.

Loved Belmont - there were just so many amazing things in that park - literally, everywhere you turn, there's something pretty phenomenal. The downtown area, peeps riding bikes, the big wheel, go-karts, cinema, carousel... Loved it. There are so many cool little innovative things in there, which really brings everything to life. Dinotopia was good too, but wasn't really my thing - the colours are kinda all over the place and the coasters didn't do much for me. I obviously prefer Real to Fantasy, but do vote with an open mind - but Belmont really was just stunning.

Fuck...two days and almost two pages in and nary a sniff of blood to induce a feeding frenzy.

Man, there's gotta be somethin'.
Let's see......Beta...no, Nokia...no, Liampie....no, well, he did say "lovely' but.....no, Micool......no, Levis.....ehhh, the "realism vs. fantasy" thing has been done to death already so...no, SF....no (and, there is a 2nd custom wav in the park), Micool again...nah, wasn't talking to me, AHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cena!!!! It's clearly not the Black Eyed Peas, it's Dick Dale - "Misirlou" which proves that you don't know what the fuck you're talking about!

There, now I feel better.
