RCT Discussion / Spotlight Showdown Final

I'm going all chalk this round except for Marriott Marine World.

How is Aurora's Bay tied with Divinity Ridge? Some of you all need an RCT history lesson

This is the weakest of the four groups in my opinion.

Group D recap:

1d. Rivers of Babylon by sacoasterfreak 12
16d. Snow Drop by Roomie 1

2d. Dimensions: Realms of Creation by Kumba 12
15d. Troy's Ancient Resort by New Element 1

3d. Mount Sinister by Mala 10
14d. Land of the Villain by natelox 3

4d. Europa Park World Showcase by Six Frags 11
13d. Islands of Adventure Hollywood by Schuessler 2

5d. The Aegean by natelox 10
12d. Magic Realms Resort by eyeamthu1 3

6d. Aurora's Bay by PyroPenguin 7
11d. Divinity Ridge by JKay 6

10d. Florida DisneySea by vTd 5

8d. DisneySea Spain by Corkscrewed 2
9d. Marriott's Marine World by RCTNW 11


Group D round 2 will be:

1d. Rivers of Babylon by sacoasterfreak
9d. Marriott's Marine World by RCTNW

2d. Dimensions: Realms of Creation by Kumba

3d. Mount Sinister by Mala
6d. Aurora's Bay by PyroPenguin

Round 2 will be up in moments and now the picks will not be as easy. We have gone from 64 spotlights to 32, so everything is solid. Round voting will end 5 days from now.

Good luck guys

5d. The Aegean by natelox (hard, two of my favourite parks...)

no! D:
Two of my fave parks are losing..
Legacies and Europa Park World Showcase

Sorry Liam, but how is IoE not completely pounding Legacies into the ground?

While I'm happy my park is beating City of Dreams, it's completely bittersweet, considering City of Dreams is some of the most amazing LL fantasy ever.

And trav, IoE is good, but feels like a rehash of plenty of other themes. Liam's was a bit more original imo. However, the sad, unfortunate fact is that people who haven't seen either park will choose the one their familiar w/, which tends to be the more recent one.

BGSS
Zippos
Forgotten Kingdom (sad to see this park lose pretty underrated)
Spellbrook
Dreamport
SWA
SFC (i hated this CP6 vs CP6 matchup both are great parks)
Euroscape (glad to see this park getting some respect and beating DMM)
Legacies
SFSF
Silver Valley (although WOMB is legendary)
Port of Magia
ROB
DRC
Mount Sinister
The Aegean

…Some really good matchups this round

Sorry Liam, but how is IoE not completely pounding Legacies into the ground?

many people don't know that park, like me.
Legacies is one of my favorite parks so I voted for legacies rather than a park I don't know!

I do get why Legacies is slightly more popular (more originality, more content, no half assed area), but personally I prefer IoE. The Land Before Time is a fantastic area!

You should definately check out IoE chorkiel. If you haven't, check out older parks like Rivers of Babylon, Watkins Woods (calling Watkins old sounds weird though), Isole Calabria and Dimensions. They're must sees for any NE member in my opinion.

wow this round was hard! its a shame rct2 has such an advantage over ll, i would basically any of those natelox parks to lose and city of dreams is amazing too, but it just can't compete with modern rct2 parks vote-wise. maybe a best ll and a best rct2 would have sufficed.

Why the hell are you voting then? If you don't know the two parks, you can't make any sort of comparison and so your votes are just skewing the results.

That's the problem with polls like this, they'll never be true as there's only a select few still around who have been here for long enough to see all of the spotlights.

^I completely agree. Chorkles, dont vote dude if you havent seen all the parks.

I know I havent been around as long as some of you, but I still have taken the time to view every spotlight in game.

how do you not know islands of enchantment? do you not own rct2? that is one of the most significant spotlights for the game... all of the old rct2 ones are, although i don't care much for euroscape or wormwood. ll is getting such a kicking too

SFC vs SWA, and SFSF vs Silver Valley are extremely epic match ups... I expected these to be a little bit more close
