Hello everyone
Today the WWS.com staff recieved a letter from Six Flags Holland. This letter tells us we can start a contest. The winning coaster will be build for the 2004 season. The letter explains all the rules:

Compton, CA 90262
United States of America
Dear coastercrazy.com staff
Six Flags Holland has a big request to the members of your website. In the season 2004 Six Flags Holland will celebrate his fifth anniversary, for this special moment the park decided to build a new coaster. Now we were thinking of involving everyone who wants in the development of this new ride.
We know a lot of your website?????????s member got a coaster-simulator called No Limits. Our idea was to let your website?????????s members design a layout for the new track. You will give them some time for it and send the completed files over to us. We will pick the best one of them and it will be build for the 2004 season!
B&M will build the coaster and it should be a so called Floorless. The height of the coaster should be around 60 meters (196.8 FT) tall. The length of the ride is up to the designers. But the coasters will have to maintain speed. Our ride manager has made a template in the game No Limits in which the coaster should be build. Please place the template for us at the website so your members can download it from there.
We want to receive all the tracks before Sunday the twentieth of April at 11.59P.M. (23:59 hours) The park?????????s ride manager will judge the tracks and announce a winner within a week. Theming will be appreciated and can result in a first place. The judging will be done with a point system. We will give points for: layout, smoothness, staying within template borders, E-stop, clearance envelope (tunnel test), 3ds theming, cartextures, environments, terraforming, supports, coaster type, building technique, adrenaline, difficulty, custom supports, G forces, capacity, timings and last but not least originality.
Supports are allowed to be build outside of the template borders. But all track must be inside. The coaster must be able to operate with at least 3 trains. The coasters trains should have at least 7 cars or more.
Finished track can be send to the parks ride manager gforceaddict@coastercrazy.com. Please let your members know that the deadline is Sunday the twentieth of April at 11.59P.M. (23:59 hours)
Thanks in Advance

We had to remove the letter because the copyright bureau wanted us to remove it because we were using SFH's logo. Too bad, but rules are rules.
A screenshot from the template:
The station must be placed inside the area marked with the X...

Question answers:
Q: Can we use LIM's?
A: Yes you are allowed to use them. Don't use a lift and LIM's it should be lift OR launch, not some speed up half way or something like that.
Q: Can it be a dueling track?
A: Sure, it's your choice, but you will make it alot harder for yourself.
Q: Can it be a shuttle?
A: Simple question, simple answer: No
Q: what time is 11:59 p.m. GMT in EST?
A: Good question, I figured it out with my atlas and it is -5 hours, so 23:59 GMT = 18:59 EST (also twentieh of April)
Q: If I make a dueling track how many trains should it have?
A: 4, that will probably result in 3 on the first track and 1 on the other.
Q: I think this template is TOO LARGE...
A: I don't think so. This template is made to fit next to Goliath. I choose to make it pretty big so this will really depend on creativity. And if you really think it too big you can off course use only half of it for example. Not all terrain has to be used.
Q: SFH will probably not order more than 2 trucks or soil, so how rough can our terraforming be?
A: Well this is their fifth anniversaire, so you can have 3 truckloads [;)] Just make sure you keep the terraforming realistic.
Q: Was the removed letter real?
A: No, just made it as a nice story arround the contest, sorry for any cunfusion i caused. But I think if you read the adress you would know it was a fake one.
Q: Cartextures allowed? Will there be bonuses given for them?
3ds allowed? Custom environments allowed? Any bonuses given for that?
A: yes, yes, yes, yes btw, i also said all of this will be rewarded with points in the letter [:p]
Q: Does the height (60 m) refer to the height in the editor or is it the height above the ground?
A: It refers to the height above the ground. But keep in mind the more land you raise the more expensive this ride will be in real life.
