Tom DJ's park was very nice. The architecture was beautiful. Jazz's park was very nice as well. Congradulations to both of you!

Already I congratulated you both, but now I have vieuwed both the downloads.

About Tom_Dj's 'Heart of Tuscany/Toscanie':
The 'Dome' is in fact constructed out of a few simple elements, and it is the way you used these to make it a very impressive structure, with really the feel of this Dome (I've been there a few times myself). Very excellently done, Tom! :D

In fact you used all colors of the rainbow in the surrounding houses/buildings (even colors I've never seen there), but you succeeded in blending them so well together that they give you the feeling they all fit and belong there. Very, very smart, how you accomplished this! :D

The 'Horse-race' is great fun and very well worked out. I've seen this horse-race before in a park called 'Redwood Downs', think it was from NE, but yours is working much better and it certainly fits excellenty on this 'plaza'.( love the 'double' ones!) :D

Most of the buildings are quite 'square', and in many other settings a lot of people would call them 'a bit blocky'. But again, you pulled them off in this setting so beautifully, that it only proves your individual style/skill to handle this. Moreover, on and directly around the houses, you did not even brighten it up with flowers/vines/foliage/flowers (realistic, for in the town of Siena itself houses are quite bare like that) and still it does not seem to miss this. that's a smart job again!!! :D And the trees/foliage on the outsides of the map are beautiful.! :D

No flaws? Of course there can be found some. Pity that nearly all the houses on the edgeof the map have no 'backside' (no windows/decoration on that side). But who cares, for a park that has to be made in a short time!

I was not really impressed by the coasters, but I am impressed by the whole of the park, the atmosphere that you created around the 'Dome' (and Dome Hotel), with the steps around the square, etc... and I am even more impressed by how you succeeded in creating that without using one tile of the 'red earth' that is so typical for Siena and its surroundings!!!

Again: congratulations on this Win!! (Dutch: Ga zo door,!) :D

About Jazz's "Kingdoms of Italy":
A beautiful RoadRunner park and a very deserved Runner-up IMO.
Amazingly, how you used these different colors like lilac and turqooise and made them to go so very well together without making it 'cool' (which is easy to happen with these colors.) Very daring, but worked out great. :D
Wonderful small details and architecture, and very nice foliage.
What strokes me most (positively! :D ) was the coaster Arrivederci (great name for an Italian Coaster): How this one flows elegantly and curving around the scenery in the midst of the map: can't take my eyes off of it!! :D And then even with such peep-friendly stats (I do appreciate and value that). This makes me jealous: will I ever be able to build such nice rides? :unsure:

Also again: Congrats with this one, and please go on!!! :D (at least I very much enjoy your work)

Congrats Tom, nice job!
Shame I had to beat you in the 4D PT2 qualifying round @ NE, but this proves you defenitely have potential... just need some refinement here and there, so keep building!
Jazz's is looking nice too, congrats getting runner-up..

Tom,

Congratulated you before :D
And already said I liked the horseraces very much. In some īplacesīthere are two horse at nearly one spot. I like that, as if they are really racing head-to-head, but how did you do that. Was this cheating or coincidence.(vraagteken. mīn engels toetsenbordje hapert :lol: )

Downloaded ;)
The screen already shows some of the red earth that is so typical for Siena. So it looks promising. Comments later on this week
