Adding "Garden of Shadows", written by me, as Fairytale style. This can be a replacement for either Toyland style or Candy style.

The track may still need some work to make it fit in with the mixing style of the vanilla RCT tracks. Any pointers would be appreciated. The loop is also a bit funky, as I had to compromise between either cutting off the reverb and releases from the instruments at the end of the track, or letting it wrap to the beginning which creates an unpleasant effect on the first loop.

Recording of the loop point:

I genuinely love the composition, the sounds you are using are also a lot better fitting than what you initially showed me.
I think some areas could use some more humanization, especially the violin strings, but generally.
I think the composition is actually at a level of IMAScore, mixdown is fine enough, but the instrumentation (especially the humanization part) could use some work. Take some inspiration for that from Operation Enterprise.
I think it'd be a shame not to try and get the (over)flow of, mainly, the strings humanized to get this track to a whole other dimension.

If it doesn't work out, the song is definitely already good enough as is, and I think it'd be a great fit for the OST.
