Ok I will leave the track as it is because the brake is used for if the car doesn't make it over the final overbank and has to perform an emergency stop.
We should have the results out approximately 2 weeks from November 8th. Each judge will be judging the coaster on their own and give it a score from 1-10. We then come together and average the scores together. After we judge on each of our special areas (Meta- Supports, Titanrocks- Operations, and myself- Overall trackwork, rules and requirements met, etc.) get a score and we then average that score as well. Add up both scores and then average that total number to get the rating.
As for where they will be featured, it will be featured on this thread as well as your score will be given on your upload to the exchange. The top three contestants will be featured on the site.
Commented by me on 11/5/2015: I fully wish for the contestant's tracks to be uploaded... safe and sound. I was checking out this thread as well while they were spending plenty of time for this top-class project!
As what Blase said, it is completely up to you as to the skybox, just know that creativity is welcomed and encouraged. Looking forward to the next few weeks
Nice job referencing actual locations (and correct orientation) of rides (larson, swinging ship, etc.) including the fact that you got the approximate location of galaxi correct (yours is a bit closer than the actual coaster, as theres a few stall and a waterslide complex in between the two...but still, nice work) as well as putting a coaster there and referencing what's currently there in the second replacement coaster's name. Kudos to you, sir. Kudos to you.

^ Honestly the whole flat rides deal was really easy. Just a bit of staring at Google Maps and frantically downloading Larson Loopers until I found a good one (which is Code's! Thanks Code!). The only big problem I had was the Star Flyer (I stuck an observation tower in its place) because no one has done a Star Flyer yet and Projektion's Windseeker just wouldn't fit. Galaxy Crusader was the result of me messing around on rcdb and thinking "Wow, Cliffs has a really good woodie, but their other coaster is lame".
EDIT: AND IT'S OUT
