Ok I will leave the coaster as it is as it fully stops the coaster in an e-stop. Just as another question what is 'valleying'

valleying is when the train does not complete the circuit and stops in a valley.

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.

I appreciate you helping out my lazy self.

When will the results be out and where will the results be featured?

[Blase Rhine]

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.

One last update before entry. Rouge Rattler is almost done!

[Mr. Freeze]

Just remember to do the correct upload style as it has changed since the original post

Thanks for the Reminder

[Mr. Freeze]

Your welcome. Also as a reminder to everyone else competing, remember that the upload instructions have changed since the original post.

Ok thanks. Have you got my track on the exchange and is there enything wrong with how I uploaded it?

[Blase Rhine]

Yep, we have downloaded it without a problem! We will begin judging November 9th after the contest concludes.

Ok thanks for telling me can't wait for the results!

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!

[Mr. Freeze]

Everything has gone well so far, as far as the downloads go. The judging will take place in the pursuing weeks after the deadline.

Should I go for a daytime skybox or a twilight-time skybox?

[Blase Rhine]

That is up to you completely Note we do have 2 uploads with the same skybox. You wont be marked down for it but get creative!

[Mr. Freeze]

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

FuriousHornet uploaded his track so his name should be light green now. See the competitor list.

SO AFTER RUSHING SOME SCENERY




And for a little something else.....

INTRODUCING: Galaxy Crusader!

[Blase Rhine]

Looks really good so far! Loving that second coaster!

Also...

2 MORE DAYS LEFT!

Be sure to upload your creations in time!

[Mr. Freeze]

Looks cool man, cant wait to see it in the sim.

[Metazoanhaddock]

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

[mkingy]

I think this countdown clock is right (plz confirm guise)

I should be able to finish on time. Going to be a close one again!

[Metazoanhaddock]

looks to be about right, but i'd suggest trying to get it in a bit early if possible
