I would like to make an new RCT3 Coaster contest. It will hopefully have between 3 and 5 contestants to make it fun; but more are always welcome! So here are the rules.

Rules:
(required)
  • It must be built in the sand box!
  • You may use custom scenery (I.E. supports and other stuff).
  • At least 6 screen shots mast be taken showing various angles of the ride, over view of layout, station, Que, ride at night, and a picture of your choice.
  • The name and stats.
(Optional)
  • A logo of your coaster's name.
  • A movie showing how great your coaster is (If you need help with hosting your video I have a place to host it. You will need to have it E-mailed to me by Dec 26Th to have it up. PM me for more details.)
  • A Press Release detailing rides name, type, stats, etc.
ALL OF THE REQUIRED THINGS MUST BE POSTED BY 11:59 PM MST DECEMBER 31!

On January 1st I will post instructions on how to vote. These are the things you will be rated on.
  • Best layout
  • Best Station
  • Best Scenery (or theme)
  • Most Realistic
  • Most wanting to ride (which would you like to be built in real life and ride)
  • Most unique
  • Best Name
  • Best colors
  • Best coaster at night
  • Best over all model
So, how would like to join the contest?

it's very easy, you've to upload your pics in the gallery or on such a site as www.photobucket.com
and then you've to copy the url (of the direct link).
then if you post a message.. click on this icon: Posted Image.
and paste there your url (of direct link). And then there are kinda codes there, but if you post it. your pic is in the screen.
Glad to help.

alright i just finished a coaster, its a standup twister coaster, im not sure of the name yet, the rating and stats are as follows, excitement veryhigh:8.61,Instensity high :7.18.Nausia medium :4.60, max speed 77.51 mph, average speed: 29.73, ride time:2:55, ride length:7675.27 ft, positive g's 4.83, negative g's: -.78, max lateral g's 2.40, airtime: 33 secs, drops:19, highest drop height:203, inversions 8.... the coaster has a litte bit of everything, the first drop is 90 degrees, it has a large cobra roll, every kind of inversion for the type of coaster, i think about 5 large airtime hills, theres quite a bit too it, its rather realistic but i would cost alot to build in real life. oh well. what else do i need all i have now is the coaster, no station building or scenery, is there anyways i could send the file so other people could ride it?

How they will be judged is in the first post and there are no restrictions as to what type or height or anything.

No. Not in this thread. Make a new thread with all of the pictures and then I will link to it in the voting thread! Now I need to go work on mine!

Do we post them in this section or in the regular coaster simulator section?

WOW! I thought we were only going to have 3 or 4 people compete; this is great! And don't forget more are ALWAYS welcome!
As for using an expansion pack; you CAN use them and they will NOT disqualify you. The same goes for custom scenery. You CAN use them!
When you are ready to post your coaster PLEASE post a new thread in the normal "Roller Coaster Simulators" area. After you post that thread, please post a link in this thread to not confuse your coaster with the other contest currently going on! Thank You in advance!
