Forseti42 challenged Trainman 2000 with this:

Objective
-Build a wooden coaster

Terms
-Must be peep friendly
-Trainers are not allowed
-Can be built using any size workbench using any scenery, it doesn't have to take up the whole bench
-Must be themed
-Cannot be dueling or racing

Trainman had a little peep problem but Forseti graciously allowed him to fix that with a trainer.

No pictures for these entries because this is an actual matchup and I don't want any voting on pictures

Very nice looking coaster and scenery Trainman! This will be a challenge to win.

[Trainman 2000]

LOL, yeah right...
Your coaster is so dang good. Mine isn't that great.
But who knows? anything is possible, and archywise, i;m pretty sure i beat you, you only had one building...

I'm finally able to download these, so I am doing so and will comment in a minute. Check back here for the comment.

forseti42 - Nice job. The layout wasn't terribly realistic, but it was excellent other than the S-bend. You had some really good ideas there too. I liked the station a lot, and your theming was pretty nice. However, the foliage was a little sub-par. Even the quality of some of the custom foliage objects was not the greatest. Overall, this entry was really enjoyable though.

Trainman 2000 - Very good entry also. The landscaping and scenery could use a little refinement, but you are really getting good with the textures and colors in your archy. The layout was not very realistic, but it wasn't bad either. The only other thing I didn't like was that most of your queue line was indoors, so you missed your chance to make a really neat queue.

I think I will go with Trainman 2000, but my decision was made solely on the fact that his entry has a little more 'essence' to it, if you know what I mean. Great job you two!

Now, this is difficult.......

I think, adding up the pro's and con's of each one (Gwazi described them very well) the quality of both was on the same level after all:
I preferred Forseti's coaster. (nice how it popped out over the water also )
Q-lines on both maps were not very exciting (to put it mildly)
As it had to be themed I think Trainmen definitely did the better job on that aspect, even some shops there for the peep-friendliness.

Both really nice entries.

decisions, decisions..........think I will go for the one of Trainman, as it seems more complete, but still...difficult....

Difficult one indeed!.....
I agree with former speakers where it comes to comments.
I finally decided to pick forseti42's entry because the coaster runs smoother and keeps the pace better and since the overall layout of the coaster was a tad more pleasant to the eye, imho. Since building the woodie was the first, most important objective, I decided to let that weigh in hardest, but it definitely is close....

Nice work, both of you!

Like everyone else said, this was a hard decision as both entries are spot on.

Trainman 2000: Lovely coaster and archy. I didn't expect this good of archy from you. You seem to be improving. Now for the coaster, the terrain and tunnels are very cool. I really enjoyed watching it careen in and out of the waterfalls and looking at the peaceful atmosphere. Overall, great job!

forseti42: Wow. I was thinking this would be a entry like Trainman's but this is completely different. The tunnels and landscaping were very pleasing to the eye. The station and archy you acomplished were great, especially the colors. Though the themeing could've been done better and more complete, I still enjoyed it. My favorite part of this ride were the large underground drops. Now those looked exciting. Overall, nice job!

I think Trainman is the winner here because of the serenity and calmness of the area. I was actually pleased to not see a fast coaster(not saying forseti42's entry is). It's nice to see a calm and relaxing one. Though it was REALLY close, I still enjoyed forseti42's entry alot.

Great job you two!
