H2H5 / [H2H5] Finals | 3rd Place Match

Haha well I could have sworn Magnus would have wanted to go again.

He did, but he vanished a few weeks ago. Haven't heard from him since the last week of June...

Yeah we haven't heard from Magnus for a good 3 weeks. RCTFan wasn't around much either so we had to bring in Sammy to help finish off the park, and I think he did brilliantly, really upped his game for it.

What did Sammy build exactly?

In our park Zodiac did nearly 90% of the whole park. We started building way too late and three days before the deadline the park was still at 25% I think, so Zodiac has done an incredible job finishing the park in three days with great quality. I want to thank him once again for that. Shame we had to face such a great park.

Magnus and I discussed the park a lot before we started. He made a park layout and I changed it to the current layout. RCTFAN did the layout for the Dreamcoaster with a few small changes by me. SSSammy designed the maze's layout some architecture in hall 2. Everything else is done by me...

SSSammy didn't do much, but it really made the difference! I 'finished' the park just a few minutes before the deadline. I didn't want to look at the park for a few days because there are a lot of painful errors like peepjams and RC boats stuck in the theming. I'm glad nobody made a problem of that.

Magnus and I had so many ideas for the park, the current park is only half of what it could've been. The execution is also quite bad now in some places, especially hall 2 which is very rushed. I tried to make hall 1 as perfect as I could (still it's not perfect), but there just wasn't enough time... I hope to finish this another time, together with Magnus to execute all the ideas we had, if he ever shows up again. I would've loved to work with him...

What SSSammy did exactly:
- corner-castles in hall 2 (on the side of hall 1)
- giftshop in hall 2 (I made the roof)
- front part of the coaster's station in hall 2 (modified by me)
- small buildings between the topspin and the outdoor area (modified by me)
I came up with the themes Dreams (hall 1) and Magic (hall 2), but I didn't have much inspiration for hall 2. SSSammy came up with the great idea of having a dark and a light side, and he pushed me into the right direction with the architecture. If I had to come up with a style myself, it would've been more complex which would result in an unfinished park. Thanks a lot!

Also thanks to everyone who voted for us! I'm very happy with the results and I think we totally deserve to be third in the whole contest.

Alright, here's how it happened. We had a plan for a finals park, and we even started it a bit, but we decided that there's no way we would've been able to finish it in time. So, we pulled out one of my own parks and started working on that. What existed before we started using it was the invert, 80% of the station, and those buildings that are next to the batwing. I sent it to Sulakke for a few days, but he had a lot of personal stuff going on and couldn't get much done, which was okay. He started the path up the mountain and did the white building there and the tan one next to the swings. Pretty much everything from that point on was rushed. I stayed up three 15-hour days in a row, trying as hard as i could to get this finished. By 2:00 AM Wednesday night, I was pretty much done, and just filled in the foliage, which explains why it looks so sparse. It's also why I didn't lower the chain return or the bobsled track. Overall, though, I'm really proud of what came out of this. Congrats to the Flying Germans, you guys were my favorite team.

^and that's because of me right?

This is what our park looked like 2½ days before the deadline:



And one day before:



I just realised we would've won H2H5 with this park if Southport was a little bit better/Roman Vice was less good. That's creepy, it would've been even a bigger anti-climax...

Well I finally got round to looking at these parks. They're both very impressive when you consider how quickly they were finished off!

Dreamworld:
I loved this! Everything just really appealed to me. The outdoor section was cool with the moving cars in the car park and the ropes course would have been brilliant even if it weren't peepable, but with the little guys actually walking round it was really special. The woodie was pretty average in my opinion but the area round it was beautiful with the stone archways and the topiary trees. I loved the castle at the entrance to the indoor section - fantastic architecture. The first hall had a wonderful atmosphere with the indigo buildings and glowing stars on the walls. And the custom trees with lights on them would look terrific if there were a night mode. The second hall was nice, but not as good as the first. I liked the detail on the walls like the birds and lightning etc. All in all a terrific little park. It's just a shame it had to be rushed to be finished on time.

The lake and the river:
The atmosphere in this park was top-notch. The architecture was really good on the whole - that big castle was amazing. But there just wasn't nearly as much content as in the Germans' park. The two coasters were a bit clumsy looking - the realistic details on the invert really bugged me when they weren't done right. It would have been much better to leave out the monorail track on the lift than to have it floating above the track. And the pacing was waaay too fast as others have said. And again to echo someone a few posts back, the huge signs were well-made but a bit superfluous - the Poison sign was so far away from the ride entrance it was a bit pointless in my opinion. The park did shine in places though - the area around the swinger ride was beautiful. If you'd had a bit more time this could have been great but as it is, it's a bit lacking I'm afraid.

Download the park, alright for people with LL i understand but people now are just getting lazy. i always download them, thats why i have over 12000 objects in my objdata folder. Maybe thats why people don't download parks, they dont want new objects.

Yeah, I can't select scenery anymore, but I have downloaded almost every rct2 park from ne and rctspace.

thanks for all the feedback on our park.
once again, i worked on a park purely because someone had gone AWOL, first wallyworld and now Magnus.
seems i "saved the day" as it were. pfft.
i very much think that the work i did in hall 2 was the best rct2 work ive ever produced, but it still seems pathetic compared to liampies work in hall one.
i gotta say well done to liampie for finishing up this baby, i could have completed her giving time for liampie to rest but it would never have been anywhere on the scale it is.
kudos to liampie.
finally, where are you RCFAN? where are you Magnus? I had to work on a FINALS park!!
im kidding, im sure you guys had suitiable excuses such as your house burned down etc...

Can I have a copy of your bench, Flying Germans?

NO.


im kidding.
i dont really see why not...
seen as the seasons over...
i dont see why not anyway.
i dont have a copy of the bench so you are either going to have to wait for someone to upload it or destroy our work.

Dream World Indoor's bench?

Not possible ... When you have over 5000 objects you can't scroll anymore in the Scenario Editor

It is possible, but you can't scroll anymore in the scenario editor.

And, it's closer to 6,000 but, who's counting?

'Someone' fucked with the creator's shares.

why does it only say magnus? me and liam built most of it. :s
