Do hardly know what to say.

Number NINETEEN has stolen my eyes and my heart :wub:

What a GEM of a park!!

Like Ekimmel, I also had expected that a user-built Christmas tree would (at least once) be made.
We already had a smaller one (also very lovely), but for me this jewel beats everything I could have thought of:

Very well executed tree, with perfect candles and balls.

Beautifull parcels around it. Did you see how at the back of the parcel of the sitting soldier-puppet canvas entrances were used to give the illusion of an non-rct-like rounded and flowing ribbon-knot?

The toy-bear on its plaid and the soldier-puppet are so well made and believable, that together with the train under the tree (also a Christmas present of course!), which 3-years-old kid would not dream of this to make his christmas-wishes come true ?
If this one was placed in a christmas-advertisement, you would have to look 3 times before you realised it was RCT!

And have you seen/admired the "little angel" flying around the top of the tree? :!: :saint:
What a great idea and flawless execution of this hacked mini suspended flying coaster!

The music of course is an excellent finishing touch.

Good to read that also the "Hatfields" are much impressed with this one. :D
And why should not they? After all this "park" does have 4 (yes four!) rides in it, which is not few at all for the size of the park, and they are fitted in so nicely that they are not dominating/crowding at all. They only add to the parks atmosphere. The only ride that does not is the simulator, because you cannot see it. So it does not extract from the beauty either. This just gives me the impression that the builder of nineteen was very aware of the fact that he/she wanted to make a "park" out of it, and not just scenery (otherwise why bother to still add the simulator?).

I also thought I had some strong clues to who made this park. But he/she was not on the list of the ones who submitted an entry. So now I am in the dark again, but certainly enlightened by the candles of this one that is (large size!) on my desktop :D

Whoever you are, # 19: my great compliments for an excellent entry. Thanks a lot!

i have been out for a while so here is my low down on the parks. i liked a lot of them. i found something fun about each of them but did not favor any till numbers 19 and 20. i liked 19 for all the reasons emergo stated. she summed it up ver well. because it was so tall it helps to make it feel less crowded.

as for 20 it felt crowded but not wioth rides. father with buildings but crowded with a coaster which i felt was quiet nice. it reminded me of my park but with less rides and more well based scenery.

i spent a while sorting out all the parks and making sure i had my top four so im ready for the last 4. im also almost done with school so ill be able to devote more time soon.

Park TWENTY:

One of the good 'ol boys and one of my favorite coasters so far. A bit fast on the barrel role, but I really liked how it weaved in and out of the scenery and through the xmas tree. And it's got FOOD for my hunger rush! :woot:

I was a little upset that I had to hire my own mechanic before I could ride it though. Money well spent, I guess. Only two rides, but the train ride is nice and long to cure my head rush prior to riding Santa's Super Sleigh again.

Could be a top four!

19. Wow, this is definately my no1. so far. Just everything about it was good.

20. I liked this, in my top 4. I thought the archy could have used a bit of work though.

I thought it was obvious who made both of these ;).

Park # 19: Awesome!!! This is definitely THE WINNER in my book!. Rides, awesome scenery, great music... its got everything! :woot: I was amazed when I saw this park, and I think it blows every other park out of the water. Great job to whoever made it! :D

#20 was good too, nice coaster and park. The coaster was a little intense, but sort of flowed through the park nicely. Also nice job to fit in food to balance the park. But the scenery was not my favorite. I would have said nice job with the tree, but there were previous parks with better ones. Also the colors were kind of funky. B)

None of them seem to be working with me. Everytime I try to open them I keep getting a message saying "Missing object data". Can someone tell me how I can fix this so that I can open them?.

None of the parks have objects exported so you have to download the BENCH first to open any of the parks

Happy Holidays BENCH

Oh...Park TWENTYONE is now up for download in the first post

:)

Oh right, I thought I was doing something wrong!. Maybe I should have just read the first page instead of assuming it will work straight away. :phew:

I like park 19 and how the person has made the tree. Nice music and I can't believe how much you can make with just simple object blocks in such a small park. By the way how do you make parks smaller than 50x50 in the scenario editor (not using the bench) I don't know how you do it.

You have to hack to get the map size down to below 50sq. I have a landscape template on my drive with a 2x2 (*) map on it. I expand it from there in the scenario editor to get about any size I want for a park.

(* 4x4, but the visible area is 2x2)
