I started out with the idea of wandering through SL8B in a systematic way, stopping at the interesting builds. This worked for a while, but the combination of lag and time constraints soon set me making a more haphazard journey through the builds. Here are some of the ones I found interesting.

This was titled "Invisibility," and allowed one to ride through the colored tunnels. (I got stuck, but, in theory, one could ride to the end.)
In a homage to 1950s Japanese science fiction and the movie Independence Day, one wanders through this town larger-than-life, noting the UFOs hovering above the city. To the right in the picture stands a burning building, the result of a laser strike from one of the saucers:
As some observed earlier, although the theme this year is "Magic," actual magic seemed in short supply. Many builds seemed like blatant advertisements for stores or commercial sims. Others were well-done but not particularly magical.
