Well, I have an idea for the logo, even if I am too lazy to make it.

 

 

Crop a pic of Olympia Looping and place "2005" somewhere in there.

To those who have voted so far, much thanks! To those who haven't, please do so, it only takes a few minutes. (cough the Alveys cough) The categories so far are pretty tight excluding maybe one or two. Once again, round one ends 11/1/05. Round two will consist of the coaster segment finale and the beginning of the theme park segment. Keep voting, and may the best (or the worst) coaster win!
