Good pick, thats definitely a solid ride, quite bland layout IMO but it looks to be fun nonetheless.

The SLC's are really not as bad as everyone says! I've only ridden one, Limit in Heidepark, and I noticed it was rough, but at least in the front seat definitely ok. The layout however is great, original and stunning inversion order and tight footchoppers, combined with good forces...

Right now, you send nothing. After the 12th round you send my your park description, 2 original traits(first come first serve), park name and land photographs. If you take the time to send me ONE photo of each of your rides, do so, but its not a requirement.

dont forget there are still more rounds after the 12th round, only if you qualify though.

We will go down the list from 1-20 with each person choosing a coaster of their desire. After we have been through all 20 people, we will do it again with a reorganized list of people. We repeat the process until each person has 12 coasters in their park. Then, we will start the voting.



that is where im getting it jakizle, on the main page in the rules.

I really think its a typo. It would be unfair to us who have been present for all of our picks.

well it isnt fair not to do it considering everyone who has read the rules (thoroughly) knew about it, and have been under the impression 'that if i miss a turn, i will still have all 12 coasters'.

No, if you show up you get 12 coasters. If you miss a turn, you end up with 11. There are 12 picking rounds, no more or less.

whatever. i think that is BS considering it's been in the rule book since day one, and now you change it.

I don't think that was even an intended rule. It was something that just got misinterpetated by all of us.

i see what you mean, but its more about the principle of the thing. its like, we are shawn white, and the Olympic halfpipe committe says to us 30 seconds before our run, that we are not allowed to do a rotation above a 180*. thats what i dont see eye to eye on, its a rule, and even if it was misinterperated by some, those who understood it shouldnt be punished because the writer of the rule(s) changes the rule suddenly.

Your not being punished, the rules haven't changed. Its been like that forever, last draft as well. It would make no sense to have rounds for make-up. If you miss, its your fault or whoevers your going to blame it on.

well jim, im just going by facts, you said it was that everyone got 12 coasters, no matter what. that is what the rules say, and i think it is wrong that they can magically change 3/4 through the draft.

Is there a maximum size for these pictures? Or will they be made small anyway when uploaded?

@ Ragan, I've never interpreted the rules like this... you're right about what they sound like, but I think jim has said the things that differ from the past draft quite clearly, and this was not one of them. It was just written in a bad way so it can be misinterpreted - I'm sure jim never meant it to be like that. Just let it be now - AFAIK, you've only missed one single turn, and that's really not too bad, is it.[:)]
