Sir Clinksalot Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 One question is that how do I post videos of RCT3? I made a lot. I'm not QUITE sure what that has to do with the coaster contest, but you can upload your videos (as long as they are under 10Mb) on Putfile.

DragonKhan Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I definitely think that there should be ones without scenery. For some of us (ie me...) scenery is a really big challenge. I love building rides but when it comes to theme them half the time I have screwed up by placing sections too close together or I just don't feel like going through the tedium of building a building piece by bloody freaking piece and then putting on the roof... UGh!!! I think the compact coasters are a really fun challenge and they shouldn't be stopped in favor of just going with scenery related ones. Oh and BTW when you guys create the next scenarios you should edit out all other rides. What about something "odd" for once? Like highest nausea rating on a 10 by 10 field? Or longest.... Or whatever... I wouldn't mind having an "ultra compact" competition... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 ^ I like the idea of an Ultra Compact Contest! I would also like to see a Log Flume or River Rapids contest with theming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind having an "ultra compact" competition... I love the idea of doing an "odd" contest, where the length, nausea, height number of inversions etc. plays a part. It's definitely something we have thought about and think about. As for an "ultra compact" competition, the only major problem is that they tend to be really hard, especially if you go down to 8x8 or 10x10. By doing that you reduce the likelihood of people entering as they become more like work than fun. But the more people that mention it in here the more likely it is to happen I like the idea of an Ultra Compact Contest! I would also like to see a Log Flume or River Rapids contest with theming. See, one vote already lol As for a Log Flume or River Rapids, I personally like the idea of a themed Flume contest, what does everyone else think?

Hattuchili Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 ^ I like the idea, too! A Log Flume or River Rapids contest would be cool! However, I think this theming contest will be one of the best ever! I really like it to build some things around the coasters! I hope we will have more contests like this one! Anyway, I think I can post my second entry in a few hours. I am near the end. --Sören Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 Soren Don't worry, we well continue to do both, there are a ton of great idea, I LOVE the log flume idea, and maybe we can do a super compact coaster challenge with no excitment or intesity restrictions well we will see Can't wait to see more coasters Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonKhan Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Especially when doing a ultra compact coaster you need those restrictions if you don't want an insane piece of steel... When doing something Ultra compact, I'd also use a compact coaster like a mouse. Then you can also keep it fairly realistic. A few years ago I did a lot of those, because they were perfect for placing in parks. I did a whole park with just such coasters and it looks really good! I even had a 4x4 Mouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 WOW, a 4x4 mouse The smallest REAL coaster I made is a 10x5 woodie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not great at either building coasters or theming, but I am still having fun by just entering. So, Kenshinmac, please enter this contest, you do make great coasters, and your theming can't be any worse than mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllisonY2K Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 as far as theming goes, I built the coaster first, then put theming around it. my thought process was "hmmm, what could I put here?" and then the gears just started turning.

Sir Clinksalot Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 ^ Yeah with my first entry, I built the coaster first and then added the scenery. With the one I'm working on now, I'm building all the scenery first just to see if it ends up looking better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I thought we couldn't make tunnels?!? If so, cool! If not, sorry Fry! I th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I thought we couldn't make tunnels?!? If so, cool! If not, sorry Fry! No you can't make underground tunnels, Fry hasn't! Fry has used scenery pieces to create buildings/tunnels that the ride goes through, that's allowed. You just can't use the ingame tunneling stuff, mostly because people with regular RCT3 can't tunnel. This is from the rules: The only restriction will be no tunnels, you can sink the ground, and build over it like in RCT3, or use "fake tunnels" Edit: Added rules quote.

kenshinmac Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 So PuceChan why should those of us with the ability to tunnel be punished? I just don't understand why we need to throw out the baby with the bathwater here... I mean sure they can't tunnel. Well they can work around it... It would be about equivalent to saying that RCT3 owners can't use track sections that aren't in RCT2. I guess I am saying if you want to make it a part of the challenge for one or two then I am ok with it. I don't think it should be consistent just because some people can't do it.

Sir Clinksalot Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 ^ I'm sorry, I just don't get it. All last week you were so keen to start this contest and as soon as it started, I really thought you would be entering quite a few coasters. It seems ever since it started, all you have done is pick fault with it. I hope this doesn't come across the wrong way, but Chris and Simon ARE doing thier best to try to please everyone. Sure, I'm disappointed that we can't use tunnels, but they are the rules of the contest, and to enter the contest we have to follow them. There are a couple of coasters in particular already entered in this contest that I personally think are fantastic, one from RCT2 and one from RCT3. I'm about to submit my third entry and believe me they are nowhere near as good as those two! All I'm trying to say is, can't we all just enjoy it for what it is and be grateful that two people are taking the time to give us these contests?

kenshinmac Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I've been working on my entries... I just am really bad at building... So it is taking me a long long time. It is fun to do a themed coaster but I'm not understanding why we aren't allowed to do tunnels just because there isn't the ability to do it in the original RCT3. I mean heck the main reason why I got Soaked before having fun with the waterslides was for the tunnels... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHOA, man, just deal with it, you are the only one to complain, and that is the rule, and its not going to change, we have to make it fair for everyone, just read your manual and learn how to make fake tunnels, its not hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenshinmac Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I'm not really complaining about this contest... I just kinda don't want to have to always fake tunnels. The way that Soaked does tunnels is just so much better than the way that you can do it otherwise in RCT3. I'm kinda having fun this contest but I have some ideas I can only do with real tunnels... I'm just hoping that I will be able to do those in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I can understand what you are saying. I'm Beta testing Wild! and wish I could use some of the new stuff from it for these contests, but obviously can't. I guess maybe a contest will come up sooner or later where you are unlimited as to what you can and can't do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted September 13, 2005 Author Share Posted September 13, 2005 OK, well this may not always be the case, as every one is diffrent the next one MAY include tunnels, but actually we havn't decited yet so don't worry, we may include tunnels on some, but not this one uh yeah, what bocakey said, LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 The next one really should be a 6x6 monorail with theming and tunnels, with an excitement rating of at least 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllisonY2K Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I'm sure Soren or myself could help you theme your ride for a nominal fee. I vote for Mine Train for next coaster comp. or Vertical Drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
