RCT Discussion / Spotlight Showdown Final

Legacies is kinda lucky to have made it this far with the low caliber of rides it had. Tho yeah the buildings and atmosphere are damn amazing. Everything is super close atm which is going to add drama. I don't really mind if DRC loses to RoB since for one it's way better and I also happened to play a small role in RoB and even did a few small buildings in it

I am sorry Xophe, but are you guys fucking serious? It should not be close between Zippos and BGSS... I really feel like this community as a whole under-appreciates LL.

PS- I feel bad Xophe, I really like Zippos, and I am by no means trying to bash the park. Just some of these parks its been up against are some of my all time favs.

I know, Legacies should've lost against Islands of Enchantment. But I don't think SFSF should've gotten this far either. It's not fair that one of these parks moves on the semi finals, and either BGSS or Zippo's doesn't.

The whole knock-out system is flawed for something like this because it's pitching one park against another park, not one park against all other parks.

Well technically this will still get the same number 1 overall, but not much after that is accurate

I don't see how anyone (with the exception of a small few) can even rank these parks against each other. The early spotlight parks were the best when they were released. The game along with the tools we use today have allowed us to do things we couldn't do back then. Even if you look at all the parks, now, you don't get the excitment of the release back then.

For example: How do you compare "Mount Sinister" against "Six Flags Santa Fe"? They were built in different times. The biggest problem I see with this is all of the RCT2 parks (and even those in the last few years) will be judge higher than those released back then because MOST of the community was not around back then nor do they understand the wow factor of that release back then since they did not experience it first hand and I include myself in that group.

I understand the need to compare things, but this IMHO is like comparing apples to oranges to Bannanas Grapes.

I've also just realised that the whole thing is flawed even more by the fact that the community didn't decide the brackets and seeding, Kumba did, so technically nothing matters because they weren't in a 'fair' order, its been opinionated from the start.

Still, only a bit of fun though.

Might want to read page 1 Louis, the community decided the seedings, not me...

Yeah, sorry lol I did read that actually lol just completely forgot

If RoB doesn't win this, with BGSS in a close 2nd, then all hope truly is lost for the rct community.

Obviously this isn't a be all, end all list, and shouldn't be taken as such. It's a popularity contest, simple as that. It doesn't mean that the winner is designated best spotlight by the community; only 23 have voted, and I know that's not the whole community. I agree that a lot of those up there, my own included, aren't worthy of being this high up, but you have to take these results with a whole shaker of salt.

Liam, you drag me down, I do too... Nah, I agree, that both of ours should've been Aegean or DFK or one of those other OMG LL spots. Hell, IOA Hollywood really should be this high.

Robbie you've been a member for over 3 years now, surely by now you should already know that I am the biggest drama queen going

Haha, Louis, you're in your own league.

And three years... Fuck.

1b. Dreamport by J K
2c. Six Flags Santa Fe by robbie92

Almost all the #1s and robbie will battle it out for the (highly arguable) title of best park ever! 5 Days to get your votes in!

BGSS
SFSF

Busch Gardens San Simeon
Dreamport

Fuck you Kumba!

It doesn't matter who gets through out of J K & Robbie, they will be smashed by the other contender, if there is any sense left in the community.

Dreamport losing against SFSF, WHAT!? Rivers of Babylon losing against BGSS is okay I guess, but I fear that SFSF will win the finals if nothing happens. This is getting more ridiculous every round.
