@BBH, I like it. It's smooth and the setting works well. The support work is great for a first-timer. I know that I wasn't that good when I started.

Blaze. Tis' my submission.

I made a 2nd gen B&M hyper coaster. At a height of 218 feet, with a top speed of 75 mph, this mammoth of a roller coaster is sure to please any coaster enthusiast`s needs. Blaze is 5,482 feet long and has a max g-force of 5.3, and a maximum negative g-force of 1.4. This giant has six airtime hills and makes sure that you stay out of your seat for an entire 1 minute and 3 seconds. So, you like?

Dijinni- B&M Flyer thing where rider's arms are strapped down because human beings are idiots and will amputate themselves. I wasn't able to remove the UI because the park I used (you might recognise it) didn't have an entrance that spawned peeps to name.
Screenshots
Station Building
Overview. Could the two trains be heading for a collision?
First Drop
A swoop past a wall. I do love those
Mid section of the unique sequence. It's a shame the station hides the rest of it. You might be able to work it out on the PoV
Mid-layout block section. Inspired by a Euro-fighter which was themed around a Mine. There was a block section and then up ahead was a heartline roll into a half loop. I liked the idea of pausing the ride mid-way, then in plain sight ahead is a rather intimidating element to go through especially at low velocity.
The ride runs parallel to itself quite a lot which meant support work was funky.

Re: portemine's Basic Coaster Contest !
I know I am technically past the deadline but I have been working on this so I figured I would post it. I hope you will allow me to be a contestant in the running for the contest.
This rave green and blue coaster is called ECS and is inspired by none other than the Seattle Sounders and their loyal fans. ECS is a B&M dive machine utilizing an element currently unused by dive machines, the zero-g roll. It also has the iconic splash down and features a station with a special viewing window of the "splash zone". I understand the splash down may be considered theming but I felt it would be incomplete without it. If you wish to disregard it for judging portemine, feel free. The layout is compact and features a couple near misses. The unique twisting first drop adds a new dimension to the dive machine while staying true to many of the features we have all come to know and love. I hope you all enjoy your ride on ECS.
A train ascends into the sky
Most of the layout is visible from this shot
Station: features queue (with extended front row line), opening gates for loading, a control room, and a beautiful arched glass structure
The station is especially designed so that people in the queue can get a glimpse at the "splash zone" before boarding...also the control room is visible in the back

Re: portemine's Basic Coaster Contest !
Alright. I've also been veryyyy busy lately so I've been unable to check this before.
reddude, though you've submitted your entry late, it'll still take part in the contest, with a 5% malus.
Time to judge the entries !
Send me an MP with your votes and commentaries. You have to rank your own creation if you took part in the comp.
Please use a 0-10 scale to assess every coaster, I'll work out the average. A small explanation to say why you've rated this coaster that way - based on the criteria mentioned page 1 - is also highly recomended.
Deadline for submitting votes : Saturday, 21st October
Reminder of entries :
SoMuchWin - Blaze (video link)
scw55 - Dijinni (video link)
reddude333 - ECS (video link) - 5% penalty as it was submitted late
BBH - Maximum Overdrive (video link)
Colossus - Stinger (video link)
Good luck everyone
May the best win.

I will get a response to you. Just, things are happening so I haven't been able to do it yet. I like setting aside a good length of time so I have all the time I need to think. It looks tough deciding so I'm going to do it in detail, thus the need for a lengthy spare time period :>

Got all but one, but just realized that I made a scoring error on reddude's. @portemine, the final score is correct. and take off a 5 point penalty because he was late.
if any of the entrants want to see my responses, let me know. i'd be more than happy to share them with you.

I'm not getting penalized from everyone and from you am I? Isn't it just a 5% off the total score? I would hate to be penalized twice for a single offense (no double jeopardy here in the US)

That's not what I meant, reddude. BTW, even if that did happen, if everyone agreed with me in their ratings, you would probably win anyway.

Assuming everyone who contributed to the scoring penalised you, and then Port penalised you on top of that, the most your total penalisation would be:
7%.
40% of 5 = 2
2+5 = 7
So 7% at most
More penalised under one and a half times :<

Fine. I finished my own rankings, worked out the total scores, and we have a winner
As with previous contest I will reveal positions one by one in order. Results will slowly show tonight !
Note : margin between first and second is again, pretty narrow at 1.6...
