Summer Showdown '09 Official Thread- Submission Information Announced - Page 18

SVT 305 · 07-12-2009, 04:09 PM

Sounds like it's time to start challenge 2!

LostThought15 · 07-12-2009, 04:15 PM

Quick, place that generic entrance and exit!

The Dave · 07-12-2009, 04:33 PM

Attention! This is Dave speaking for the rest of his team saying we need an extension of the next 2 weeks.

LostThought15 · 07-12-2009, 04:42 PM

No Extensions for you

Did I ever mention the soup Nazi was my favorite episode? (and the only good one)

The Dave, why is your fudge orange?

Too much Beta-Carotene in his diet?

The Dave · 07-13-2009, 05:54 AM

But orange stands out, like pink! Hmmm. I'll make it pink, if you really like...

LostThought15 · 07-13-2009, 10:34 AM

Why do you wish to change the color of your fudge? It's not natural.

ytivarg · 07-14-2009, 11:14 PM

Maybe it's creamsicle fudge?

Themeparknerd · 07-15-2009, 06:31 AM

^, ^^ Maybe it's Harry Enfields secret ingredient that makes it ornage and none of you can find out what it is!

The Dave · 07-15-2009, 06:32 AM

Masked, you swine! You are 32 minutes late posting the challenge again!

Plus, it's around 5:30 in the morning there, Dave!

maskedbandit101 · 07-15-2009, 12:06 PM

Challenge 3

A theme park isn’t complete without a thrill-seeker’s coaster, something to draw in the adventurers. The game is called roller coaster tycoon, after all, so your third challenge is to create a coaster. However, not any coaster will do.
= Your coaster must be tall, with a minimum height of 180 feet.
= Your coaster cannot have any inversions. (overbanked turns using the ‘diving loop’ elements are acceptable).
= The coaster must have at least one tunnel.
= The coaster must interact with the queue at some point.

All general rules from previous challenges apply.
REMINDER: You may NOT create any custom scenery for this competition any more, regardless of whether or not it is released to the community. Thank you.

I will post the teasers from challenge 2 shortly.

Themeparknerd · 07-15-2009, 12:14 PM

No inversions?

Bah, fair enough. Good luck everyone!

Jerr_Oen · 07-15-2009, 12:15 PM

Define height, please.. from ground to top, or from lowest point of coaster (tunnel) to top.

maskedbandit101 · 07-15-2009, 03:08 PM

Height = tallest drop

Jerr_Oen · 07-15-2009, 04:44 PM

I see, thank you. Good challenge, good luck other teams!

So, masked, how's interwebbing going, between boxes and stuff?

maskedbandit101 · 07-15-2009, 06:40 PM

Ha, geeze, it's sick...we got in in the later afternoon last night, I'm still trying to catch up on sleep...not to mention unpacking all my stuff (which needs to be repacked for another much smaller move in 2 weeks), and trying to stay cool...Houston = HOT!

All in all though, it's nice. I'll be very...random in my forum usage for a while, most likely from now on, haha. Thanks for asking!

LoneWolf7 · 07-15-2009, 07:25 PM

Can't be as hot as florida!

maskedbandit101 · 07-15-2009, 07:32 PM

98 w/ 100% humidity on a regular basis...so I'm right there w/ ya buddy...haha, I spent my summers in Florida growing up...this is right in line with it...

LostThought15 · 07-15-2009, 07:35 PM

Summers in Florida? It sucks pretty much year round. Well, maybe not Northern Florida as much, that was decent.

The only nice bit is living closer to the beach, so the sea breeze kicks in.

03gibbss · 07-16-2009, 12:35 PM

On a competition note, were there any teasers this week?

maskedbandit101 · 07-16-2009, 01:04 PM

Teasers for Challenge 2

RCT3Callum · 07-16-2009, 01:26 PM

I love watching this competition - it's awesome!

The 2 teasers for challenge 2 makes me think some people should hurry up with that generic entrance and exit. :P

willo22sly · 07-16-2009, 01:45 PM

Two very impressive teasers, shame there aren't more. =[

I think I know who's the first one is from the editing... ;]

Boston · 07-16-2009, 03:35 PM

I thought these were supposed to be beaches not jungles!!

LostThought15 · 07-16-2009, 03:46 PM

^ When did the beach come into play?

At any rate, it looks like the first may have some sort of a beach, judging from the sand but I can't tell for sure.

Not sure what all is going on with the second.

Gah! We need more teasers. Looks to me like no team has submitted one each time.

Boston · 07-16-2009, 03:48 PM

Well when we had the Winter Showdown we all used snow, so I figured all of these would use sand or something.

I haven't been following too closely so I don't know all the requirements though.

Don't get me wrong, they both look good.

LostThought15 · 07-16-2009, 03:51 PM

That they do.

I think in every instance, each team is doing something tropical, or summer related. But Summer doesn't necessarily mean beach.
I think in the end we'll see some very interesting approaches.

RCT3Callum · 07-16-2009, 03:54 PM

^^ Why isn't Boston in this? He's officially one of the best builders evah. This is treason, higher treason than Valkyrie. (do not read into this deeply, please)

Boston · 07-16-2009, 03:56 PM

I always come in last in all the competitions I've been in, that's why.
