Thanks for catching that mama, we've updated the workbench saves now to match the original layout lift speed. See the Q&A below for info on changing the lift speed also.

 

Q&A

Q: Can we add a second layout to make it a duelling coaster?
A: After some consideration, we feel this would be changing the core of the design too much from the original layout. You can make supporting rides and tracked rides, but Pacificoaster's layout is the main feature and should remain as such.

Q: Can we use different trains?
A: Yes, as long as the train is still able to complete the layout and doesn't impact the pacing to an obvious degree.

Q: Can we change the lift speed?
A: Yes, you can change the lift speed as long as it remains within a normal range for this coaster type.

Q: How will the panel be selected?
A: A group of non-participating panelists will be selected after the deadline has passed, and we will likely want to select more active panelists. We may reach out in private beforehand to find out if a panelist intends to compete so that we have a panel group decided more quickly.

Q: Also, is changing the placement of the entrance huts allowed?
A: Yes, you can change the entrance and exit hut placements.

Q: I want to copy the coaster in but I keep getting an error? How do I fix this?
A: Load the layout map, delete the station (and block brakes, noting their speed), copy and save it into scenery manager. Open your bench, place a random twister coaster station somewhere, paste in scenery manager layout and fill in the station and block sections. (Thank you to 94SupremePosse for answering this on the discord)

Q: Are we allowed to cosmetically edit ride vehicles in a way that doesn't affect stats, like using ride editor to change the front of the train cars into another vehicle but it acts the same?
A: Yes, different vehicles can be part of theming.

Very seamless, and the tan path is delicious.

Exciting stuff, liking the gardens and path decor which were a strength of your last park. The concept is very nice too!

Very sweet work, and great details on the dark brown building!

The layout poll has now closed and the winner with over half of the votes is Pacificoaster! His classic B&M styled layout has fantastic flow between its elements and provides numerous possibilities for theming, setting and interaction. And for those of you more fantasy-inclined, don't lose hope as we saw multiple great fantasy takes that made strong use of Louis!'s NEDC4 layout.

With the layout decided the contest now kicks off and building is open! The main NEDC6 topic has also been updated with the chosen layout along with a few common Workbench options provided and the official deadline! Full details here: New Element Design Challenge 6
