Catching up again...

Park #17:
The architecture/buildings all over the place looked a bit too much of different styles and tries to make this a balanced micro-park, (looked a bit messy now), but I really loved the very fine little coaster that is there.....my compliments on that one :thumbs:

Park #18:
As said somewhere before, I think this was a really good concept! But the execution made it a bit blocky and too simple to really impress....work on some more details and it can be great!

Park #19:
Very creative idea to make a Winter boat ride! Nice wintery treeing, but I missed some more interesting architecture/and/or landscaping to make this one special.

Emergo :D

Park #20:

It reminded me of park#2: also dominated by a train ride and snowy trees......
Liked the trains very much though, really nice how they sometimes seem to touch!!.
I also liked the building, simple but not too simple and very effective.
What I miss here though (like in many other entries) is a small Christmas-decoration here or there, while there are so many available in the bench, or easy to create yourself.....

Now "the holidays" as you call it, are not just Christmas, I know, but after all it is centered around it......so a small pointing to it does not hurt at all imo, unless the park already oozes a convincing "holiday-atmosphere" without that, which is not so easy to achieve...

Nevertheless, pretty nice entry :thumbs:

Emergo :D

While I think the builder of park EIGHTEEN was attempting to build a medieval castle setting, the presence of all those security guards on the perimeter walls does make it look more like a prison, as others have said. I did like the coaster layout, but the fact that it is entirely underground doesn't help this entry's bland appearance. I'm not sure why the builder used raised ground instead of brick/stone walls to build the castle, which would have looked better. I did like the village inside the 'castle', but unfortunately it was mostly hidden by the raised walls.

I liked park NINETEEN's use of a water ride as it's main attraction, but the lack of any drops on this flume ride really hurt this entry. Some additional buildings and/or having the boats go through some buildings might have helped this park. I also liked the use of bright colors for the boats.

As Emergo mentioned, park TWENTY reminded me of the second entry, but with a more elaborate station building. I always like train rides and I think they work well in winter themed parks. I also liked this entry's over/under track layout and the stone arch bridge, but the lack of any additional rides somewhat hinders this entry. Oddly enough, the builder of this park must be clairvoyant and knew to name it "Twenty"; something that's never happened before . . . to the best of my knowledge. :rolleyes:

Catch up time again...

Park 16 - Nice and purty. I think the slide should have been in the church, and whats with all the food stalls in the church? :lol:

Park 17 - Loved it, one of my favorites. Packed full of fun and colorful stuff. Liked the toboggan ride and the reindeer. Only ? moment I had was about the green grass.

Park 18 - Um....a bunch of mazes. I want to get out of Maze 1. :lol: But seriously, thanks for the entry, I'm sure it means something to the creator. Oh wait...thats park 21. :> Park 18 - This is the one with coaster underground and a fortress, right? I wasn't sure why it was Christmasy.

Park 19 - This looked like it was whipped up in a hurry. No way to get to a couple rides. No landscaping. But still a nice wintry feel and nice entry.

Park 20 - Holiday Express...fixed the name of park btw ;) . I love train entries. You can't go wrong with a train. Throw in some winter trees. Voila. Good entry.

Park 21 - See above....Park 18

Park 22 - Boxy buildings but lots of rides, and I love the red flowers :D


No one posted about TWENTY ONE and now I've already posted TWENTY TWO!!!

Hope people take the time today to catch up...

20- I like the trains. I've always liked trains. If I had an H.O. or Lionel train set,
I'd figure out SOME way to set one up in my apartment. (49 and I still love trains.)
Nice track layout. A decent building structure, nice frosty forest. I like this park.

21- Erm... Mazes are cool, but this one crossed the line... a lot, I'm afraid. Sorry.
It just doesn't come across as exciting, or christmas-like. Just cold blocks of ice.

22- Has a good blocky assortment of blocky flat rides. But the structures that enclose them,
all but block the blocky tanembaum tree ride in the center. The blocky colors are ok, just wish
there were more blocky colors to them, and there's not much else. It MIGHT of been blocky
nice to leave blocky windows or a few blocky openings in the blocky walls, so as to see the
blocky action going on within. Nice blocky idea, but could of roped in on the blocky structures.
Did I mention that it seemed like the structures were a little on the blocky side? I almost forgot.
;)

Park #21:

Yes, a lot of mazes. And, most of them snowy.
And they all had special names.

Park #22:

This looks like a mini-park from someone who is not very experienced yet with making parks in RCT2.
Good try though, to make larger buildings.
Pity however, that by the buildings none of the 4 rides are visible, and even not the uncovered one in the middle (as that one is blocked from view by the other buildings).

Emergo :D
