I liked them all, I personnally think that many of them feel too empty. I personally like Wolfie's concept, though it seems unoriginal and claustrophobic. The tree looks great but I think that bushes would have been a much better choice than roof tiles. It was also extremely cramped but still had a good overall appearance. Luketh's Happy Yar-Har holidays has great ideas in it. Many people associate the Holidays with snow and pine trees, and sitting in the warmth of your home, but Luke decided to make it tropical and I thought that was neat. The Intamin Aqua-Trax styled coaster had some unneccessary merges with the heartline and the yellow color made them ugly and it could also use another car. I saw how the characters names were after some people on this site, and there was jagged rocks on the beach with K0NG saying "it needs more jagged rocks" (I don't know who that is directed to). The park was nice, but it needed more foliage. It looks more like a dry precambrian sea rather than a lush tropical coastline. I recently viewed mushroomer's entry. It had a nice adventure ride in it and looked simplistic, maybe a little too simple. Also, the music doesn't sound very forgotten. I was pretty disappointed when I saw turbin3's entry unfinished. It was a nice cathedral. I was also disappointed that there wasn't as much entries as there were people entering in. I guess it happens. The design of the building was great, but the colors eh not so much. Last but not least, Mitch's Mt. Claustella had a good BeeMer that had a good layout for a micro park coaster and had an excitement higher than the intensity. It was very basic, but had a great natural appearance and smooth landscaping. Anyways this should be a good competition and havn't decided who to vote for yet.

Jaguarkid, I love your entry. When I looked at the "staff" list and saw that you had everyone from the orginal christmas carol, it put a smile on my face. I like Wolfy's concept, but I dont like how the rides are so cramped. Yeah I know theyre suposed to be gifts but still... I didnt care for Luketh's entry, I didnt like the boat, I think it could have been done better and i dont really like the coaster either. Turbin3's entry, would have been excellent if it was finished! I love what he had going there, it was a shame to see it incomplete. I also liked Mitch's entry, I love the layout of the coaster and it was delightfully simple.

Well done everyone! I was torn between 2 parks but I have finally decided who gets my vote!

Jaguarkid got my vote for its originality and nice execution of the theme. Wolfman did well but honestly, haven't we seen a Christmas tree year after year? The rest lacked atmosphere or focus but I did like Mitch's coaster. Thanks for keeping this traditional contest!

Hope everyone had a nice holiday and warm wishes for the New Year!

The UNFINISHED entry gets a vote but mine doesnt? Bull****.

Well if you thought your entry was the best - you could have voted for it. That would be one vote.

[mushroomer]

I actually thought I had a chance this year so I did the right thing and voted for someone else instead of voting for myself.

Time for voting is over - the poll has closed...
