Six was an ok park if possibly a little overfilled.

Seven was very nice.

Park EIGHT was very well done. I liked the small looping "Rock-n-Roll" coaster (although I think the designer could have lengthened it into the trees on the left), the Christmas tree w/ gifts in the front corner and the building designs (although I'm not sure about the snow-covered pergola on the roof of the coaster building). One small complaint; I think there should have been a second stairway to the second level on the left (near the Ice Castle). Clearly one of the best entries so far.

I also noted that the peeps will not walk on the paths that are on the border squares of the park (thru no fault of the builder) and, therefore, can't reach the "Blue Memories" ride. I think this is a glitch with the own all land hack.

I quite liked Blue Christmas (8). I like the park based on the song, the Schwarzkopf Katapult and that fact you didn't use a trainer while building. Good job.

Park NINE is up for download in the first post

I like how all of you are commenting on each park, I'm going to do that myself...as soon as I collect my thoughts on each of them...catch up Saturday I guess and if any of you haven't been commenting..you can catch up, its never too late

^ Yeah. I need to look at Seven, Eight, and Nine, but now I am having computer graphics problems.

Oh, yeah, I also need to download each park again and delete all but my four favorites.

OK...I've looked at all of them of course and many times since I had to make sure telling signs of who made the park were not there and believe it or not...I'm still finding stuff at the last minute before I post the parks...hope I don't miss anything one of these times....

Anyhoo...

Park One - A Christmas Fantasy
I randomly sorted by number the order of how I was posting these parks so of course I was thrilled that such a nice park came up first to post...always good to start this contest off with a really good holiday park! I really liked the imagination of this parkmaker, with the great tree, the radio flyer wagon, the toy soldier...although the scenery buildings put in the wagon kind of took away from the look of it. The wheels on the wagon were quite inventive! Lots of rides in the park and good use of the underground map. My only peeve was there was some weird scenery placement, but overall great park!

Park Two - Winter Wonders
Very wintry feel to this park and while it has drawbacks, it still gives me a nice holiday feel! I agree with what others have said about the pirate building..seems out of place, or maybe its just too big especially with just one food stall in it....a ride could have fit in that building and another ride would have helped this entry, or even more food stalls. Still in all, nice entry.

Park Three - Christmas Town
I really liked the tree, very nice lil' town square. The reindeer was an excellent idea and I really enjoyed that. I think less food stalls and maybe another ride or two under those town square buildings would have helped this entry..Overall, I love the peaceful feeling of this park.

Park Four - Snowstorm
I liked how it was raining/snowing when you open this park..fits the park. Of course, the use of the snowy supports was a nice touch. Incredible that parkmaker fit this monstrous woodie on the map too. I think a less intense ride (although fitting for theme I guess ) would have been nice, as more rides and scenery would have helped entry...still a nice entry for the theme the parkmaker chose.

Park Five - Down Town Christmas
I liked the opening message about "don't get caught in the Rush"...because of course I do every year...I liked the red and green colors of the park. The coaster looked nice to me even though the intensity was too high and I wouldn't have been able to ride it since it didn't have an entrance...Nice architecture though and overall layout of park was well done.

Park Six - No Name - Happy Holidays?
Wow...so many rides and so much to do. I'd enjoy going to this park because there is so much to do and rides to ride. Great use of underground map to fit everything in. My only peeve is the overuse of those beautiful white trees, I'd like to see the park and not a field of white. Great job of making a good park though!

Park Seven - Noel Town
Another nice, peaceful entry. I love the red and white theme of the park. As others have said, the ice castle did look weird on top of the building, and I'd also say that the big white building in the corner could have used some windows...but wow, really nicely done entry and one ride was just enough for this theme!

Park Eight - Blue Christmas
I love the Elvis Christmas theme. I loved the tree with the colored packages, nice touch..and the buildings were nice, although the roofing of the station seemed too much, maybe? It is weird that there was only one little path leading up to the upper level of the park...but other than that, I quite liked this entry.

Park Nine - Freizeitpark zu Weihnachten
As Jessica Simpson says in the direct tv commercial...I totally don't know what that means, but I want it! Nice all around park...it has the perfect amount of rides and shops and scenery. I wasn't crazy about the little mouse tracked coaster but its a kiddie ride I guess....Nice job on this entry

Whew!.....all caught up....now its your turn

[OrlanDude]

. . . after further review of Or's post......how would it NOT be the fault of the "builder" if the park was is corrupted by a hack? I don't think my park or anyone else's CAME that way. . .

If you re-check the original 17x17 "Happy Holidays" workbench you'll see that it was set-up with own all land. I think the reason we hadn't noticed before is that most parks have been closed and few (if any) have placed paths along the edge.


Now on to park NINE - I really liked the roof-top spinning wild "Grobe Maus" coaster with the custom supports and well placed block brakes (no pauses), but I didn't care for the light brown wooden fence surrounding the queue path, I think another color would have worked better here. Also the the hack on the other wild mouse coaster (with the articulated trains) looked great but the coaster seems to be constantly breaking down (probably a hack glitch). I also liked the use of the expansive building under the Maus coaster with the food stalls & simulator ride and the multi-level look of the park. One of the better entries so far.

[Leonardofury]

I quite liked Nine although I think the building could be a little less blocky. I liked the spinning coaster and I think the 'Klein Maus' kiddie coaster was an attempt to make a Zamperla Mini Mouse . It's a shame that hacking makes rides so unreliable. I would have liked to have seen a little less hacking but I liked the entry.
