2006 Coaster Draft Voting-Anyone Can Do It!

You weren't supposed to get an email back. It was YOUR responsibility to include EVERYTHING in your emails.

[hyyyper]

No it wasn't and i asked jim many times, all have to do was make a list of features and sponsor, then wait untill all lists are in and then include the feats and sponsor that i would recieve from jim

it doesn't make sense, what if i had exactly the same feats and sponsor as someone else and i included it into my description, then two ppl had the same feats and sponsor, which would be against the rules

so i keep saying, if i don't know what feats i should get, how should i include them?

i can't read jim's mind

Example:

Traits; Free porn in the bathrooms and mexican employees.

IF THESE ARE TAKEN, THESE ARE MY BACKUPS
jewish banjos and gay camels.

If you didn't give backups and your traits were taken, I assumed you didnt have any others. It's YOUR mind that I can't read hyyyper...

Think ahead and realize your choices may be taken. Backup

BTW, this is aimed at everyone. The next draft is going to be different, alot. I wonder if it will even be fun. No fading time limits, no park ideas. Pick the coasters, and vote. Simple, plain, no conflicts. A game is only a game if it's fun. What are you guys trying to win anyways?

[hyyyper]

nothing, we are just doing it for fun

and i must say that the park description with the locations are fun, but this is the first time and things go wrong . . .

i really hope the next draft has the same thing, but just better, this is something we can learn from. it's just a bummer that it had to be me

i don't have any hard feeling to anyone and i'll sign up to the next draft as i did to these and the 1st one.


as for a reaction to your post above jim, how were we supposed to know when our choises were taken?

if i mail you my description with the features all included in the paragraphs and mine would be taken, it would screw up my description and the guy who had the feats would be saying "how can hyyyper and i have the same feats"

but as i said, it's to bad i went this way, but it's the 1st of it's kind and if it wouldn't have happens, perhaps it went wrong next time, we'll have to learn from our mistakes, not just throw it away if something doesn't go as planned

and for the time limits, there should indeed be no fading, there should have never been any

Now don't say that. what's the fun about spending hours on this thing (and I did) not to be part of the actual game in the end? It's not about winning, it's about the competition.

^ exactly. Kinda wish we could restart this whole thread and make sure everyone is settled and happy.[:)]

How about not[:p]

Just to let you all know, I edited the 1st page posts and removed all the image tags and sent some url's through tinyurl.com to reduce the rediculous amount of page stretching that was happening.

good idea, i say we now put all the good description with coaster and stuff in and remove this topic, but the poll data should be copied

I say we sit back and wait until the summer draft in mid june.

I heavily agree[approve]

[Coasterkidmwm]

I'm surprised I'm doing so well, I guess most people haven't exactly figured out the location.

[hyyyper]

i hope the next draft will be better organized, not that your doing that worse jim, but i'll make you a list of things that can be done better

Here's my park, just to show you guys - I know it's not part of the voting.

Thunderwood

Thunderwood Theme Park is located near the village ?????????Hammer????????? in the Eifel region of Germany, which is known for its great natural landscapes - The nearest big city is K?????????ln.

Location picture: http://www.hammer-eifel.de/HammerTal200308.jpg

Back in the early twentieth century, Thunderwood consisted of nothing but one wooden rollercoaster (today?????????s Thunderbolt, which was responsible for the parks name) and some small attractions for the whole family.
Much has changed since then: today, the famed Thunderwood is one of the biggest parks worldwide and is home to a total of 12 great rollercoasters. There are four theme sections, each featuring a lot of unique rides and attractions:

--- The Entrance Area, most looking like a classic amusement park with mainly modern theming, offers some flat rides and indoor attractions for young and old, as well as the following steel rollercoasters: Revenge of the mummy, Oblivion and Matterhornblitz.
--- The centre of the park will take you right back to the days known as the Wild West. As well as some themed rides, saloons and shows, this section, which surrounds the Big Thunderlake, offers a great palette of thrill rides as well: Thunderhead, Big Thunder Mountain, and Wildfire (Station).
--- Of course, the biggest part of the theme park is the actual Thunderwood! In this deep, hilly forest, there's nothing but you, the nature, and the impressive rollercoasters that all interact with the undulating terrain perfectly: Phantom?????????s Revenge, Thunderbolt, Vampire, Megafobia and Wildfire (Track).
--- Our newest theme area is the Jungle Land. Located the furthest away from the park entrance, this section is mainly focused on water rides such as a long, heavily themed River Rafting and some other calm to exciting boating rides. Also, there are two coasters to thrill jungle explorers: Anaconda and Colossos.


Here?????????s the overview list of our coasters:

Steelies:

Phantom?????????s Revenge: http://www.gregleg.com/coastershrine/vi ... _crest.jpg (click your refresh button)
Phantom?????????s revenge may stand ?????????only????????? stand a 160 feet tall and starts with a swooping drop going to the ground, but what follows is an insane 228 foot straight second drop into a ravine, crossing right beneath the support structure of the thunderbolt and reaching up to 82 mph! The rest of the ride is a speed run with fast turns and airtime-filled bunny hills. When it was built, this was the world?????????s tallest and fastest rollercoaster, and it's still widely known as one of the greatest hypercoasters around.

Wildfire: http://www.rcdb.com/ig720.htm?picture=4
This gorgeous looping coaster was built by B&M and is very probably the smoothest ride in our park. It's the world?????????s only ride featuring the elegant ?????????floorless with a floor????????? trains. While the station is in the Wild west area, the track takes you deep into thunderwood through a 155 feet straight first drop, highly banked turns and five inversions: A giant immelman, vertical loop, cobra roll, and corkscrew.

Big Thunder Mountain (Paris!): http://www.rcdb.com/ig956.htm?picture=6
For this finest mine-train coaster, a whole red rock mountain has been built right in the middle of Big Thunderlake! The almost 5000 feet long, 4 minute wild west ride reaching more than 40 mph features four long, all-different tunnels, two of which cross beneath the lake, and uncomparably elaborate theming!

Anaconda: http://www.rcdb.com/ig1169.htm?picture=19
This great inverter will take you through a tight action-packed layout above a jungle river landscape, including five inversions (Zero-G Roll, two vertical loops, and double corkscrew) plus two forceful helices!

Revenge of the Mummy (Hollywood): http://www.themeparkreview.com/mummy/mummy1.htm
Our newest ride is a very special Premier LIM Launched coaster. It starts as a scary darkride in an expensively themed mummy?????????s tomb, but then suddenly launches its short, rusty vehicles up to 50 mph into a tight knot of twisted trackage, featuring artificial fire and other stunning special effects. For extra thrill, you?????????ll be facing backwards for part of the course (or shall we say curse?)...

Oblivion: http://www.towerstimes.co.uk/rides/xsec ... vion09.jpg
The first ever dive machine built by B&M is all about one of the most breathtaking and legendary drops in rollercoaster history. You are held back on the top of the vertical 180 feet dive into a mist-filled tunnel, waiting to be released into 68 mph and 4,5 g?????????s ????????? only one thing left to say: Don't look down?????????

Vampire: http://www.rcdb.com/ig784.htm?picture=20
One of the world?????????s few arrow suspended coasters and the only one to feature the more comfortable and thrilling floorless trains, the vampire is an interesting thunderwood ride. Its cars swing freely below the track to deliver a special and fun feeling along the speedy curved layout.

Matterhornblitz: http://www.coastersandmore.de/rides/mbl ... 80x585.jpg
Besides the hairpin turns and sudden dips, this custom wild mouse features a unique enclosed elevator lift, a surprisingly thrilling first drop, a sudden headchopper onride-photo plunge into a wooden building, and some funny atmospheric theming. Fun for everyone!


Our steel coasters may be original and thrilling, but what will totally blow away many coaster enthusiasts is our noble selection of top-notch woodies, from vintage to modern, from very straight to very twisted:

Thunderbolt: http://www.rccgb.co.uk/images-USA-2004/ ... 17_jpg.htm
First built in 1924 by PTC and heavily expanded in 1968, this legendary golden-age roller-coaster is beautifully set around a wooded ravine. Because of that extraordinary terrain, you will experience astonishedly that the thunderbolt?????????s largest drop is the last one!

Thunderhead: http://www.coastergallery.com/2002/DW14.html
Known as GCI?????????s greatest work to date, this incredibly twisted woodie features highly banked turns, a station fly-through and a total of 35 crossovers to deliver one hell of a ride!

Megafobia: http://www.wimmerl.com/Coaster/Bilder/O ... 06278.html
This wooden coaster is a true CCI classic. Not as twisted as the Thunderhead, Megafobia shows a perfect mix of tight turns with minimal banking and straight hills taken at fast speeds. It's sure to offer everything a woodie fanatic might ask for: Heavy lateral g?????????s and wonderful airtime...

Colossos: http://www.rcdb.com/ig988.htm?picture=34
Intamin AG and Werner Stengel invented a new tracking system for our newest ride, to push the limits of wooden coasters to a new level, still delivering a very smooth ride. Colossos????????? station stands in the jungle land, but the ride takes you out onto a wide open field. Standing a massive 196 feet tall, this monster reaches speeds of up to 74 mph, and its straightforward Out?????????n?????????Back layout pulls extreme vertical g?????????s from +4,3 to -0,7 ????????? be ready to fly!


For our guests, we provide the following two special offers:

1. According to some people, standing close to a rollercoaster and watch it operate can be nearly as great as riding it. You?????????ll be able to do this in our park better than in any other: for our coasters, especially those running the thunderwood section, we have installed a lot of hidden extra paths and observation platforms where you get multiple great views for watching, photographing and filming our glorious machines at work.

2. Every summer, a great rock festival takes place only a few miles away from our park. Called ?????????Rock am Ring?????????, it features many of the world?????????s most famed rockbands all in three days. If you wish to buy a ticket for that festival, you can show your thunderwood park ticket bought at any time in the same year (there's also a possibility to do so per internet), to get a 20% price reduction for the festival entrance!


Hotels & Restaurants:

You?????????ll find restaurants and bars of all kinds especially in our Entrance Area and the Wild West Saloons, but there are also drink & snack stalls in every section of the park.
We have a large atmospheric lodge located in the Jungle land for those wishing to stay in the park overnight. Also, there are numerous hotels in the nearby village hammer.

Thunderwood is sponsored by Zweifel Chips made in Switzerland ????????? the best chips in the world! They are available in many delicious tastes everywhere in our park. http://www.zweifel.ch/index_ne.html

One day from this post, the voting will end.

I've now voted too - why not after all.
I would've picked e-man's park coaster-wise, but as this was not submitted, I went with alpine park because it has the best and most varied selection of rides. Also, you don't get such a hell of a park in SWITZERLAND every day!! [:D]

Even without a park nearby Switzerland still rocks [:D] I want to go back so bad....

Hell yes, it does [:D] Also, for those who didn't know who drafted alpine park, can you guess now?
