Incredible season to all teams, regardless of whatever order they fall in. Truth be told, the season was so strong that many, if not all, could shuffle upwards or downwards depending on how I'm feeling that day. Looking forward to seeing others' lists!

I love these lists. Might try to make my own soon.
 

For easy copy + pasting, without Steve's numbers...

I've crunched the numbers and, based on community, panel, matchup, fantasy, and favorite polls, this is how the parks stack up. These are not my opinions but instead an attempted objective ranking of each park given the various ranking/valuation exercises. It's insane how many parks we made.

My current MVP ballot:

1. hydroportal - runaway winner, lead builder on two of the best parks of the season, well-deserved red boi status, I hope he's got one more trick up his sleeve for the playoffs

2. Steve - an absolute workhorse, generating 1.65 park shares during the round robin on The Good Death, Lemuria, and Blue Pearl

3. Maverix - another productive player, scoring two wins with Nippon (45%) and Highlands (15%), and a strong effort on Logan's Brewery (30%)

4. AvanineCommuter - lead builder on one of the top parks of the season, plus a solid minority share on Papilio Valley

5. Splitvision - One of the leads on Gangland, plus contributed 35% to the underrated Christchurch

Most Valuable Floater ballot:

1. Sensual

2. SSSammy

3. zxbiohazardzx

4. PhoenixWing101

other standouts:

- Pacificoaster - has he ever built a bad park?

- Liampie - Tomatina was good, Rajasthan was great

- Fisch - majority share on Villerouge

- robbie92 - 2 wins with Drowned and Bellum Aeternus

- Scoop - significant shares on El Dorado and Riverview

- Terry Inferno - huge share of Yerka, plus good work on The Architects

- Recurious - huge share of Atama Yama, plus good work on Yerka

- Sulakke - majority share on X Games Alcatraz, plus a quarter-share of Seven Liberal Arts

- Ottersalad - massive production this season, big shares on Diegetic, Malaga, and Gauntlegrym

- A n d r e w - non-hydro rookie of the year contender, huge value as a replacement player on Rajasthan

- WhosLeon, StormRunnerFan, CedarPoint6, and Cocoa for great work on single parks

- Ziscor, Iretont, ultro for their pound-for-pound contributions on Le Coeur, Stardust Circuit, and Rajasthan

- spacek, Kenos, and everyone else who furthered the game with innovative CTRs

- RobDedede, Mulder, Jens J., and Otsdarva for building on 3 round robin parks

- SensualEthiopianPolice for contributing to all 7 round robin parks

This contest is only as strong as the community, it makes me so happy to see so many active players, so little drama, and so much creativity. Thanks to everyone for a great season, and good luck to all in the playoffs

I don't really have a list atm, but I would like to emphasize that even the very lowest on these lists are still some incredible parks. Hell, even the few unfinished parks still had moments of brilliance and potential. I think everyone who participated should be really proud of the work put in, even if the result wasn't what you wanted. Echoing Walto,it's so heart warming to see all the creativity and energy put into this season. A huge thank you to everyone involved in round robin; excited to see how the playoffs shake out.

I ranked them based on if I thought it could beat the parks below it and personal preference.

I left Droomvlucht out, because I'm obviously biased and I think it's a bit pretentious to rate your own park.

But yeah, great quality throughout and even the last bracket has some nice qualities to it sure not to be overlooked.

Roughly ordered within tiers. Top 4 all make a case for best park of the contest.

Fantastic work by all teams. Every park has been a treat to view and everyone should be proud of the work they've put in regardless of the outcomes. Hope to see you all again in 3 years for the next one

Tried a ranking as well. I could keep shifting things around a bit. Also wasn't sure whether to include my team's parks or not. Bias goed both ways - being overly enthusiastic about some parks, and maybe overly critical about others.

My final tier list for this H2H. For some parks they were really in between two tiers and I added +0.5 to the top right corner of the park icons for these. This means that they are in between their current tier and the tier above them. So for example Villerouge sur Mer is between A and S tier for me.

Pretty much fully ranked in order of what I would rate them in each tier, with the top park in each tier being like 1% lower than the tier below it:

95%+

Le Coeur (ML)

Rajasthan (CK)

Stardust Jubilee (TI)

90%+

Villerouge (TI)

Gladsheim (TI)

Tokyo Dome (LR)

El Dorado (AC)

85%+

65%+

Strawberry, West Elizabeth (LR)

Day at the Races (CK)

Wickerdale (ML)

Esoterra (SQ)

Diablo de Malaga (ML)

Marmot Mountain (CK)

With that in mind, my 'average' for each team:

AC; 78.9%

CK; 76.1%

LR; 77.2%

ML; 76.4%

SQ; 70.7%

TI; 81.7%

Sorry Scream Queens, your parks just weren't my thing too much. Other than that, feels pretty much what I'd expect! Think the most interesting thing for me making this list was seeing how some teams just seemed to get better as the competition went on, while others peaked a bit earlier.

My top 10:

1. Le Coeur

2. Stardust Jubilee

3. Madinat Al Harrar

4. Florida Action Park

5. Rajastahn

6. Lemuria

7. Villerouge

8. Riverview

9. Gladsheim

10. Acqua Atla

I've been waiting to do this. These ratings are based on my first and overall impressions of each park. All parks are ordered within tiers but get a little blurry near the middle.

The worst I can say about any of these parks is that I like them, but not as much as the rest. There is not a single bad park on this list. No hard feelings at all to those towards the bottom. In my mind, #48-#35 are somewhat interchangeable.
