Stoksy Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 RCT Coaster Park Contest The Rules: Minimum Coaster Length for at least ONE of your park's coasters: 4000ft/1220m Minimum Coaster Excitement for at least ONE of your park's coasters: Very High (7.70) Minimum Ride Count in Park: 30 Maximum No. of Trains for ALL your park's coasters: 3 Maximum Ride Time for ALL your park's coasters: 5 and a half mins Park must have at least one 'BIG' coaster (more than 4000ft). You are then to theme the whole park, keeping the coaster(s) as the main attraction(s). The judges MUST be able to distinguish the theme. Generic themeing is allowed, but not encouraged, we want to see lots of unique themeing. (IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO USE A GENERIC THEME, I STRONGLY SUGGEST USING YOUR OWN WORKBENCH.) Coasters are encouraged to be custom supported. Progress shots are encouraged. Hacking is encouraged. Points: Innovation/Uniqueness of the park: 10 points Clear Theme: 5 points Coaster(s) meets all requirements: 20 points Park has at least 30 attractions: 5 points Coaster is custom supported (has some custom supports): 10 points Score /50 Bonus Points: Coaster is completely custom supported (MINIMAL 'normal' supports): 20 points Coaster has WELL over 7.70 (very high) excitement rating (at least 8.50): 25 points Hacking: 10-20 points (depending on the hack e.g. merging a coaster would get you the full 20 points) Unique Layout: (not a recreation/close to a recreation): 15 points Score/80 Add both scores together and get a GRAND TOTAL /130 There will be a poll for the rest of the people on TPR to vote on their favourite coaster-park, this will give the winner of the pole an extra 20 points to their total score. (this could give them an abnormal score e.g. 140/130) Please notify if you will be participating: -the ghost -thelegendarymatthew -ericmichaellucas -thethrillseeker -Xizor_Racer -themeparkman? -Cyber.Fiber -Reon -davethefish -sixflagsenthuseast If you wish to be a judge, please notify via pm or post on this topic.

the ghost Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Can you guarantee results will be done in 2 weeks? That seems a bit fast, and I am leaving for Florida in exactly 2 weeks and one day, so I do not want to get involved unless I get some confirmation. I'll start this, and if it is done in 2 weeks awesome. If not, I will just make a mini park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoksy Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 ^The due date WILL be confirmed within 2 weeks. I hope this answers your question. BTW, the contest will go for at least 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoksy Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Is anyone interested in being a judge? NOTE: The DUE DATE has been changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 The rules about the coasters make no sense...will you please clarify what you want, exactly? For example, you say that coasters must be over 4000ft long, but you can only have 2 coasters that are over 4000ft long. What??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoksy Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 ^You need to construct a park around the coaster(s) that you build. Now, in a theme park there are obviously other coasters that you might like to build. All I'm saying is that, you can build as many coasters as you want, but a maximum of two of them needs to be over 4000ft, e.g. I build a great theme park, and install three coasters, all of these are over 4000ft, now if I look at the rules I will see that I can only have two coasters of more than 4000ft. Therefore, I will either have to demolish one of the coasters or make one of them shorter. Hopefully this answers your question. If not please notify via pm. NOTE: I think I just confused myself lol, there will be a rule change in the near future (in other words, right now). Sorry for the inconvience.

Eric_Smith Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 DUE DATE: Contest will start on the 1st of September 2009, and finished parks will be due on the 1st of January 2010. How are you going to enforce this? Also, if the contest is going to start in 1 1/2 months, why didn't you just post this then? Just a couple thoughts...

Stoksy Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 ^I wanted to get a good list of people who wanted to participate before the actual contest began, and the reason I posted 'the contest will start on the 1st of September' is really to give people an idea of when they need to join by. BTW, the contest might start before that time, I just need a good list of people before the actual contest starts. This also gives me time to find enough people who are willing to be judges.

Eric_Smith Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 ^But if you plan on not having them start until a later date, why give the download? How do you know that people are not already working? Unfair advantage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoksy Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 ^I understand that some people might have an unfair advantage, but all in all, I believe that four months is still plenty of time to create a very good park. The download was given mainly as a guide, lots of coasters and plenty of 1/4 tile scenery, the scenery in the workbench was only generic, if people want to get a better score they will have to create their own workbench. I know I haven't said this in the rules, however I believe when the poll goes up, the people who have created their own workbench and have a unique theme will get more votes than the people who have a generic theme. Thanks for posting these questions Eric, they will hopefully help me to get better at making contests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoksy Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share Posted August 29, 2009 It's nearing the start of the contest... Anyone can join whenever they want, as long as they post the park on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericmichaellucas Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I'll have a go. This will be my first contest entry. I will warn that despite playing RCT2 since release I've always played 256x256 maps (I always thought bigger was better) so this will be my first 150x150 map on my own bench.

thethrillseeker Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Im in if i could be. This is my first contest on this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thethrillseeker Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Is it saying that all of the coasters lengths added up cant excede 5,500ft or that none of the coasters can excede 5,500ft on their own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoksy Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 ^It doesn't say anything about that, however, it does say that at least ONE coaster must be at least 4000ft in length. Other than that, your coasters can be as long as you want. Just reminding everyone that the contest starts in TWO days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelgianGuy Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I'd like to judge if nobody thinks I'm not suited for the job Can't enter cuz I'm too busy with other projects currently (Inverted Dive Machine happens to be a bitch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I meant to say was for the 5 and a half minutes, is it all of the coaster times added up or just each coaster cant excede 5 and a half minutes?

the ghost Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I am doing themed sections like Disney, I think. That's okay,right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericmichaellucas Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I've started my park which is so far planned to be Forest/Woodland themed, but as the park grows, things are subject to change. I've already finished the layout of my feature coaster and am now just working on custom supports which is something I've never really done before so I'm in unchartered territory for my first contest entry. I really hope this works as planned. Anyway, I may just have my first progress report with one or two pics up on Friday or Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
