Here's my ToTW entry: Starlight Flyer

 

It's a small out-and-back woodie that's 45 ft tall, has 2, 4-car wooden coaster trains, has a yellow, white, and red color scheme, and some simple theming. Enjoy!

I usually don't enter these contests because I don't build too many custom rides in RCT (I'm more into recreations), but since junior woodies are small and I was bored, I played around a bit and made this in an hour. Here is Tiny Timber, a junior woodie loosely inspired by some of CCI's designs. http://themeparkreview.com/game_exchange/track.php?id=2394

Alrighty, thanks man. Was just wonderin'.

 

No Problem at all- Let me explain one thing since I get asked this question often: About hacks/trainers/8cars, etc:

 

"Why don't I allow them?"

 

Well, it's actually very simple: For the most part, many people do not use hacks/trainers/8cars with RCT II, the result being that in some cases, when you try to open up a ride that has been 'hacked' it won't work in their RCT II. I know I have had this issue before with MANY people's rides, and it's quite frustrating to me not to be able to enjoy other people's works- I love some of the things people come up with, and I'd love to use their rides in some of my test parks. In additon, there have been reports of issues with people's hacked ries unable to be opened up in some versions of Vista as well as Win 7.

 

The goal is so that EVERYONE can enjoy the works of the community. While the exchange allows anything to be uploaded (CS rides, CS parks, CTR packages, etc.) for the games contests, it's generally a no-no. Exceptions will be made, I'm sure, in the future. But for now, it's keep it simple and basic!

R.D. said once you can upload as many rides as you want - but this will maybe lower the chance for one of your particular rides to get on top, cause people spend their votes on others of your rides. I guess thats what R.D. said - in this way or another D;

The general rule is upload as many as you'd like- but remember, in order to score well, you must have people VOTE on them, thus why you don't want to dillute your chances along that way. Example:

 

If I uploaded two B&M twister tracks, and one sucked, chances are, people will pass them over and go onto the next one. BOOM: you've just lost your voting chances.

 

Ways to get a 'win' in the Track of the Week contest:

1.) Post your track to your Facebook account (Simply copy the link into your 'status' window) and write a message like "Vote for my Track in the Games Exchange."

2.) POST THE TRACK EARLY! We do use a scoring system here, and the earlier you upload, the better the odds are that you will get a higher score: The higher the score, the better the chance of a "WIN"

3.) Don't be afraid to post something smaller or less detailed. Any time you upload, it increases your points total, and it gives you experience.

4.) Post your track's link to the exchange in the Track of the Week thread- Bingo. More people will see it.

 

For the time being, I'll be uploading my own 'non-entries' to the exchange as well, to sort of show what I do with my rides. If I can post mine, you should post yours.

 

Good luck- "Junior Woodie" ends in 36 hours, and then we start "RCT II: B&M Twister- NON LAUNCHED LIFT!"

This is just a general comment and speculation on my part, but it seems that many people are voting the designs down instead of up. I see ratings of just about every track getting lower and lower every day (personally, I feel that most of them deserve much higher ratings in their own stand-alone regards). I suppose this is part of the contest and the way voting is set up, but I find it intriguing.

Noted-

 

Before the final vote tabulations are agreed to, whichever games forum MOD is tabulating takes a look at the 'voting' via a magical method invovling a oujia board, consultation with Bill Gates and other mystical things... If we see ANYBODY intentionally voting down a track- especially if they submit a track themselves- not only are they disqualified, but they are permanently banned.

My Junior Woodie is complete. I'm a bit worried on the whole voting aspect of things as mine has only just been uploaded today, which means it hasnt had the same amount of voting, however I really had fun building
