October Darkride Comp. WE NEED CONTESTANTS!!!

[Amplifyed]

Alright, I figured halloween was coming up, and I wanted to start something like this. Here's the basic rules:
1. Coaster types: you may use the wild mouse coaster (spinning or normal), haunted hotel, cheshire cat, and (the weird one) the standup coaster.
2. The ride must be within a 35X35 square, this does not include the facade. Yes, you may use as many floors as you wish.
3. You can use any CS you wish, if you want to make your own, there are no rules against that.
4. The ride does not have to be enclosed the whole time, though the scenery can not go out of the 35X35 square.
5. You are more than welcome to start your own thread about it or put pics on here.
6. The ride must be between 3:00 and 7:00 long, and this is only the ride itself. I'm sure this shouldn't be a big problem.
7. The ride must have a consistent theme to it, there can not just be random stunts in it.
8. You will be marked down a point for every time the coaster-cam comes in contact with an object/wall. This pretty much means you must have a clear view the whole time, no head-choppers.

That should be about it for rules, If there's any more big ones, I will add them in. (Probably before everyone starts) The due date is October 31st. This part is crucial. You will be graded on:
1. The consistent theme (10 Pts.)
2. The scenery itself (10 Pts.)
3. Lighting (5 Pts.)
4. Timing (5 Pts.)
5. Sounds/movie editing (5 Pts.)
6. The suspense (for example, how much the ride really scares you) (5 Pts.)
7. The time it's turned in, 5 pts. if it's on-time, and -1 for every day it's not turned in. (I will take mercy if you're having trouble uploading)

Alright, that should be it. There is no limit for people, though if it comes to it, it must be under 20. Alright, who wants to join? ;)

Judges: Amplifyed, Coaster Freak, The Trooper (That's all the judges)
Contestants: sr3d, spiderdusk, Extreme_Desire, PB&J

[rct3parkmake]

I might just take a shot at this. Count me in.

[AtomiCart]

I'll watch this, but I see no need to join until I have CS and free time...

[Coaster Freak]

I'll Judge!

This will be fun! Guys join! I know there are some GREAT creators out there that could do great!

[Maras Eye]

Hey Amplifyed! Can I enter the House of Horrors video you saw? Thanks!
Maras Eye

[meme5053]

Judge please!

[Amplifyed]

Alright, everyone is in the contest that asked. Mara's eye- I sent you a PM, you can't enter your previous darkride, the details are in the PM.
meme-I would like you o judge, but you don't really have any experience with darkrides. I would be happy to let you join the comp, but as a judge, I need semi-experienced people. Sorry!
Also: I will edit the names/judges in the first post as soon as that *%&#@-ing edit button works... I've been trying all morning!

[gamer2456]

I'll jon

[meme5053]

I DO have experiance, I made a ghost train in my park Adventure Hills.

[Amplifyed]

^I know, I just mean you're not one who really makes darkrides. Coasterfreak, well, that's his only focus! I would be happy for you to join, though. I have nothing against you... do you get what I'm saying?

[thetrooper]

Hey I'll judge if that's cool. I don't have time to enter though sorry.

[Amplifyed]

^That would be great, understandable. i would enter myself if i wasn't hosting this thing!

[Coaster Freak]

This will be cool to see very ones creations!

[Maras Eye]

Amplifyed. I can't enter if I can't submit the House of Horrors or Psycho Clown Carnival...... I am sorry. I can't make a new one before the deadline. Psycho Clown Carnival still needs some work. Maybe next contest....

[Amplifyed]

You could submit the clown one if it follows the rules up there. If it's outside, again, I would just put some black walls around it.

[MGP2300]

I will make something for this , since I was going to do one anyway.

[spiderdusk]

Can i join the comp ?

[MGP2300]

OK I am done.

That looks coooooolllll!!!!

[Amplifyed]

Spiderdusk- you're gladly invited!
MGP- You, as well, are gladly invited. I love your pic!

[Extreme_Desire]

Cool. I'll join if any1 can give me a tip for wich scenery to use. (got a darkride set)

[spiderdusk]

I have questions :
- From what i understand, the facade do not count in the 35 x 35 , but does the queu line do ?

[Amplifyed]

Cool. I'll join if any1 can give me a tip for wich scenery to use. (got a darkride set)
Oh, I've got lots:
1. Bael's sets... good stuff there
2. Marnemar dark ride
3. Jcat dark ride
4. Jcat's screamworx
5. JCrise's hellish stuff
6. shyguy's catfish cove set, which can make some creepy walls.
7. Someone made a scary set of figures... It had a clown, scream, skeleton... anyone know?
8. Dasmatze's industry age sets can be useful
9. Dasmatze's pirates of the carrabean set has some skeletons
10. dasmatze's coal mine... very useful.
Does this help?
I have questions :
- From what i understand, the facade do not count in the 35 x 35 , but does the queu line do ?
No, that is also included with the facade. So id doesn't count.

Eletigna's Creations 2: Dark Ride Elements!
Sorry! My quote message option glitched!

[gamer2456]

it sound like talk about dark ride world set you can find it on my website in my sig

[spiderdusk]

Does the dark ride has to be scary ?
Because a drak ride is not always scary like the ones in disney land ( wich i prefer ) but can i do one on a fantastic theme, like harry potter or lord of the ring ?

[Extreme_Desire]

Thx amp

[Amplifyed]

You may do that, though 5 points of the judging is the suspense, so you may want to make a scary-ish part. Otherwise, that would be a great idea!

[PB&J]

I will compete, but I cannot be sure I will finish.

[Amplifyed]

^Even If you can't finish it in time, I would still rate it, though it wouldn't be able to get 1st place. Actually... new idea. Everyone take a look at the grading scale 1 more time. PB&J, this may relatively solve your problem.

[Coaster Freak]

PB&J, you could easily get by the due date if you do an outstanding job lol. Still compete!

[Amplifyed]

I just made it so it can be up to 5 days late, though it would cost you a few points.

[PB&J]

Ok, thanks! I may and may not do this, what if I build a complete atmosphere around the ride that would exceed 35x35? This would essentially be a large dome with stars and perhaps other things built into it that I would make. How about vehicle switching? It would be a swap between two tracks that are allowed in the rules.

[Amplifyed]

^That works, though all scenery must be within 35X35. The dome may go outside, though.

[steveoluvsmusic]

this shuld be intresting i'm definetly gunna watch this, im not joining cause i suck at doing dark rides

[RollerMaker]

May I join the competition as an entrant?
I don't have an extreme amount of talent with Dark Rides, bu my imagination can run wild!
What is the deadline again?

EDIT: Sorry, I won't have time to make a dark ride, scrap meh name!

[rct3parkmake]

Count me out. I won't compete. Although, add me back in if I have something by the date.

[sr3d]

Amp, can I give it a shot? :) I could get basics done today and probably get some other stuff done for it as well.

[Amplifyed]

Alright, rctparkmake is out, sr3d is in...
And I've decided on a secret prize for the winner of the comp., and only the winner will know what the prize is!

[deadstar]

May I join? :o

[MGP2300]

Just so you know , I am still in this !! If you want to see what my entry might be like Check out The Library of Horror. And video.
This will not be my entry though , It does not qualify with the rules , so I am going to make a new one that WILL qualify.

[sr3d]

Damn......... I won't stand a chance against that MGP :/ lol it's great.

[Maras Eye]

I am sorry Amplifyed. I have to drop out of the contest.:( Psycho Clown Carnival is nowhere near done....

[gamer2456]

[Coaster Freak]

Alright, rctparkmake is out, sr3d is in...
And I've decided on a secret prize for the winner of the comp., and only the winner will know what the prize is!
Some How I feel like I know what this prize might be... Hmmmmm :p

[Nevora Coasters]

Wow. Can't wait to see how this comp turns out!

[deadstar]

I'm 50 % done already! I've just got to do three rooms, big finalé and the queue!

:D

[Amplifyed]

Alright, Deadstar has dropped out...:(

[The_Mad_Hadder]

may I judge? :D

I would join, but I'm not very good at the "scary part"
Although I have a pretty frightening walk through I made for Halloween on rct3! :noob:

[Amplifyed]

^Even if it's not scary, I would love for you to join. I'm sorry to say I think we already have enough judges... But, even if the ride isn't scary, I would love to see it!

[gavt1976]

I thought that you would put my name down first to be judge because i thought that we was best friends, but never mind. I will not join this one but i will join another one if you start one up for a comp for xmas.

[sr3d]

Amp, I'm not sure either I'm gonna finish :/ All I've got is a cinema building that goes through a cave, and onto a littl park, I'd still got a town block and some houses to make up + add interiors to, sorry :(

[Amplifyed]

That's okay. Will you still release your project later on? It sounds really cool.

[sr3d]

That's okay. Will you still release your project later on? It sounds really cool.
most likely yea, means I'll expand it out of 35 x 35 now as well :)

[deadstar]

Actually.. I finished my dark ride long time ago. But it just couldn't get it over two minutes without making it repetitive! :(

[Amplifyed]

^Eh, I'll still count it. There have been so many that dropped out... I just would love more.

[deadstar]

No, I ain't re-joining! :p

I would want to, but I certainly don't have the time to film and edit until the end of the month because I think I'll have to format vista ONCE AGAIN!

[Coaster Freak]

No, I ain't re-joining! :p

I would want to, but I certainly don't have the time to film and edit until the end of the month because I think I'll have to format vista ONCE AGAIN! I would ask if I could edit for you... But I think that would brake the rules in a way lol

[deadstar]

^ So it worked at last? (Not my fault) :p

[Coaster Freak]

^ So it worked at last? (Not my fault) :p
Actually no lol

Final Cut Express 4 and iMovie 08 and iMovie HD

[Amplifyed]

So it seems, being the only one who submitted a video...
PB&J WINS!

[thetrooper]

These comps always come to nothing...:down:

[Nevora Coasters]

-i know this is a dead thread-
how come all comps have to be great and then everyone gives up and they die :(:(:(:(
