The premiere contest in RCT2 is back! New Element's Head2Head contest occurs every 3 years and showcases the best the game has to offer as teams of builders compete with their parks against one another.
We continue with Round 1, Match 2 and "Lostileth". This Star Wars themed map was made by Xtreme97, ottersalad, and Levis and features some great rockwork and foliage and architecture integrated throughout. The library scene is probably the highlight with a very cool reveal at the back of the map.
Download "Lostileth" here:

You'll need OpenRCT2 to view this park. Get it here:

Fun Fortress gives us a castle and castle walls to build within long before the actual castle scenery was a thing. Theres nothing too challenging here except for some odd terrain, which well tackle as we typically do.

Hydro Hills gives us a fair amount of space with a park value goal. Thankfully thats not too challenging as long as we keep building, but sometimes were our own worst enemy when it comes to inspiration for coaster layouts. But well push through it and fill out our park themed to a...fish farm?

Karts & Coasters is another scenario I dont have fond memories of but I think thats largely down to the poor starting rides and how dense the dark tree coverage is. Were going to fix the existing rides, clear out some trees, and build a pleasant little park in the woods.

Bumbly Beach is RCTs Blackpool Pleasure Beach inspired scenario a nice little wooden coaster to start and a pretty small park to build in. The goal will be easy to attain, but lets try and get this map feeling suitably dense with some rides and attractions stacked on top of one another.

Roman Village gives us one of the most themed maps to start a scenario and a somewhat tight space to squeeze in enough for 1500 guests. Well have to balance compact ride installs while keeping the Roman vibe for a successful build. Come join us!
