Rollercoaster Tycoon Ride Making Contest

Purpose:

So the point of this contest is not just to make the highest excitement ride, but also a ride that is capable of making money and won't make people throw up.


Contest #1:

Wooden Rollercoaster:



Rules:

1.)No underground
2.)Flat terrain
3.)No nearby scenery or rides.
4.)Rides will be penalized if they exceed a ride time of 2 minutes. (This can be increased if people find it to be rather short)
5.)Three rollercoasters will be submitted.


Judging:

1.)The excitement factor from all three rollercoaster will be added together. The player with the highest total excitement factor wins.
2.)Each second in excess of 2 minutes for each coaster will earn a 0.05 penalty to his or her total score. (This can be increased if people find it to be rather short)
3.)Rides with intensity ratings above high will receive a penalty. 'Very High' 0.50, 'Extreme' 1.00, and 'Ultra-Extreme' 2.00.
4.)Rides with a nausea ratings above medium will receive a penalty. 'High' 0.50, 'Very High' 1.00, 'Extreme' 2.00, 'Ultra-Extreme' 3.00.


Submission Requirements:
1.)Screenshot of the entire ride at all 4 angles.
2.)Screenshot of the entire ride with invisible supports, displaying land height, and track height.
3.)One of the screenshots of the ride, must show the test results with the name of the ride showing on the ride entrance. This is to avoid cheating and photoshopping.


Example Submission:











Excitement Factor: +5.72
Ride Time Factor: +0.00
Intensity Factor: +0.00
Nausea Factor: +0.00

Overall Score: 5.72


Suggestions:

Create a game in Forest Frontiers and research ride improvements until you get water splash, that way everything is available if you want it.

Don't have the installation anymore :\ Though I might dig it up and join.
If you change the rule about no nausea levels. ^^ Cause I rode tougher rides IRL than that example one when I was 7...

Oh and resize those pics, dude. Took me half a century to load.

Alright I'll make nausea a bad thing at high, and intensity at very high.

Okay I noticed that the png files were over 1MB each, so I changed them to Jpgs and they are only 100 kb now.

Yeah that's fine, but I don't know a free website that will let you upload any type of file you want. If you know of a free website, then let me post the link.
