#16 - Winter Wonderland
Not too bad. Great cristmassy feel to the park. I like how they used the water ride as a waterfall, but it wasn't a ride. Oh well. Can't have it all I guess. The archy was cool. Not the best, but nice. I loved the twinkling stars. Kinda looked like it was "glistening" I guess. I liked it. I just wish we could have more of the reindeer ride above ground. Surprisingly, it's snuck it's way onto my list.
#17 - Christmas Town
The archy was a bit wonky, like building a ship from parts of other ships. But eh, it's christmas. Nice elements here & there. But it just didn't seem like it was complete. One ride. not bad. Used the caroucel music, which was okay, (I was getting tired of that Christmas tune every time I opened a park. Unfortunatly, didn't make it onto the list. Sorry.
#18 - Wild Sleighride
Love the virtical drop coaster. Nice layout in a tight space. Could of stood a bit more tweeking to allow the cars to run non-stop. Might of worked out better without the block brake mode and just set the timing to create departure times. I didn't like the huge supports combined with the original supports. Looked totally wacked. But the layout was cool. Archy looked okay to me. Various free standing buildings, not a bunch of them placed side-by-side. Nice touch. The taller one could of stood a bit more planning in relation to the track it enclosed. Still not that badly done. The landscape in the corner was a nice option instead of a sheer wall of faceless brick, but it sacrificed an enclosed curve for the coaster. Would of done something like a smiley face made of windows or something for a bit of a surprise.
Eh, I'll put it on my list.
#19 - Winter Madness
How'd did such a nice structure end up in a small venue like this? Reminds me of the "It's A Wonderful Life" park (#12) The archy is amazing, the coasters nice, I love the details like the bridge and the candy stiped supports. Remarkable use of landscaping, rocks, trees & water. Really top knotch. Gonna be hard to beat this one. It's on the list!
#20 - Christmas Tree Ornement Factory.
Another park with the Lego-look. These are always intriging. Clever in it's simplest form. But no parking spot on my list. Choppers just moved too slow and was boring to sit here and wait for the things to drop down a steep slope. The tree turned out to be uneventfull, and didn't have the cone shape look that everyone knows and loves. I might of tried to make a whole tree, packed solid with 1/4 tile blocks. This looks like the floors of a building, without walls. Sorry.
#21- The Present Mine
Oh! Nicely done archy. Havent seen a coaster train in one of these yet, (I think.) I think I'll add it to my list.
#22 - Santa's Castle
Looks empty and sparcely detailed, (No not PARSLEY detailed "Sparcely" detailed.) Archy definatly needs some help here. Landscaping is definatly lacking. Didn't really trip my trigger.
#23 - Santa's Workshop
Nice park, but it was missing something. It looked okay, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
#24 - I liked the coaster, because it looks like it isn't going to make it over that hill, the----n, oh it makes it!
