Finished the tallies, checked my math, got all the entries input,and we have a winner! First off, just want to thank those who entered. I know I didn't expect 10, 5 was a pipe dream so I was ecstatic by the entries. This was a bit of a live test for the next competition to see what we liked/disliked and how to go from here, so to those who provided feedback, we do want to say thank you.
Now, I'm going to give some feedback on each coaster as we count it down!
10. Sabre- Colossus 8 points
To be blunt, I loved the IDEA of this coaster, but technically speaking, it needed work. If I recall, you said this was your first NL2 creation, and if true, I can't wait to see what is next!
9. (Unnamed) Jarrett 8.5 points
Some transition errors and non traditional Dive Machine elements through this off for me. Little work with NL2 and it will go a long way. Great idea though!
8. Ninja- arktic2 9 points
Again, transitions and some weird elements. The outerbank turn and non inverting roll distorted the ride for me, and the pacing wasn't great. I did like the layout overall as it was different, just needs some work.
7. Eruption- GuywithaStick 10 points
Some banking and force issues, but I really liked this overall. Transitions were too tight for the large trains and areas weren't banked properly.
6. Apocalypse TPV 15 points
Pacing. Pacing caused this to fall to where it is, but the layout was very spot on and FELT like a Dive Machine. The beginning was bit odd, the brakes after the first drop hit too hard for the hold. Good layout, just felt like it would stall several times
5. Fuhrer Tom 16 points
This one being mine, I'll go from other comments. Pacing was off, lack of custom supports and additional scenery killed where it could have gone and kept it from getting higher. Clearance test also didn't pass.
4. Forgotten Cliff- Glennderp 19 points
Absolutely awesome. The detail is incredible and this is where the top coasters really started to shine. There was a collision with a tunnel which didn't help, but I loved the use of the pond and the border it had. Just very well done, but lacked a bit of pacing in some areas.
3. Viper- antinossi 19.5 points
One of my favorites and the highest rated among non judges. Very on point with the way it was built, and the uniqueness of the layouts. From what I got from the other judges, it was an issue with too many tunnels (I disagree) and a few transitions.
2.Timber- AK Koaster 20 points
Wow. The amount of detail and work put into this was top notch. The indoor section didn't really fit with the type of ride, but I loved it and so did everyone else.
1.Twister- Hixee 21 points
Like a champ, Hixee comes out of nowhere and crushes the competition. Flawless. On first ride when I saw the launch I wasn't a fan, but it worked perfectly and this was just a great ride.
Here is an image of how the voting broke down. Next competition will begin in the next day or so! Congratulations Hixee and everyone else who entered!
