The Unofficial WWS.com Sidekick Contest
Dear hyyyper,
As you know, our park, the Sunset Islands Amusement Park, has a somewhat old B&M Looping Coaster located on the west island. This season the coaster will celebrates it's tenth year. To boost popularity we've decided to build another Looping Coaster to duel the original coaster. I've already contacted B&M and they will provide us with the coaster, but there was one downside: their design development is entirely occupied with designing the new flyer for Cedar Point.
Therefore I ask you to pass this letter on to the coaster site coastercrazy.com, because I know the site you are an (obnoxious) member of, has a lot of potential coaster builders. Attached to this letter are the map and requirements for the coaster. The scenery, theming and landscaping is already cleared so the coaster can be themed to whatever the contestants like.
I wish you and your fellow members good luck with designing,
Yours Sincerely
John Smith
