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.
Head to San Francisco and get some chocolate with Ghirardelli's Dream. This park was built by Splitvision, Terry Inferno, and ballpitwarrior and features some pretty clever approaches to landscaping and roads as well as an overall homage to the city. Come along for a tour!

After the pain of Barony Bridge, weve reached the iconic Funtopia. Reminiscent of Kentucky Kingdom, we have 2 sections of map to work with split by a road down the middle. There are 2 coasters, both of which need some work but with a great start to guide us. Lets build out the map!
Check out MickanMans RCT Stations video about smooth coaster building. This is a great resource for building better rides:

Pacific Pyramids is a fairly easy scenario with lots of land available and a whole 4 years to complete the goal. We struggle a little bit getting the creative juices flowing, but theres some interesting opportunities for coasters and other rides throughout the map.

Harmonic Hills is infamous and for good reason! You cant modify the landscape, change the ground texture, remove trees, or build above the treeline. And to top it all off, youre given a very limited selection of rides to start. Well take it all in stride, however, and build out the map with 6 coasters and a few other bits and pieces. Come along for the build!

Lightning Peaks is the first of the challenging scenario set in the original game. Theres almost no suitable flat land for building and quite a lot of rain. But were going to tackle it with a few coasters, even if it takes more than one try to get it done!

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?

Canary Mines is a bit of a rehash of Millennium Mines from the original game but with a little more terrain and two mirrored dive coasters that will be great to generate some cash. Lets fill in this map with some bauxite themed attractions.
