Description
When NE’s Pro Tour was announced, I was ecstatic to find out architecture would be included in the qualifying rounds. And after 10 days of grueling construction, the Imperial Riyadh Resort was complete and sent in. A few days later it was announced the winner of the first qualifying round in the Pro Tour. This was by far my largest piece of architecture and the most time consuming, too. Luckily, it edged by to gain me a coveted spot in the New Element Pro Tour.

Period.
I was really excited and had some relaly kickass ideas for mine, so I did suceed in making mine stand out.
Now, I started 2 weeks ago, and had a great start, and unfortunately, it seemed that starting a week ago, someone opened the faucet of school leaking down on my head and wiping away all my free time.
I basically did the entire entry minus the whirlpool and the big mountain starting when i finsiehd my homework last night, at 8 o clock. I "finished" it 20 minutes before the deadline.
Originally, I planned it to have a roman or more detailed theme. Then, I just decided that if I have a couple of the same colors repeated and vary some texture, it is really my only chacne to finish. So, I did.
In conclusion, I'm sorry I didn't get to finish it, and it is indeed a letdown. I view it as more of a success though, because to my knowledge at least, its the first RCT2 dinghized rapids ride, the first waterslide bowl, and the first waterslide boomerang.
Here is a bowl:

And a boomerang:

So, please judge what is there, and not what is not there. I, too, wish I could have themed it, but I am glad I sent it in anyways and found 3 hours last night to work on it. I mainly just wanted to share my ideas with you. Which is what this is all about. As was aquazone.
Hopefully next time I come up with a good idea I won't butcher it in order to squeeze it into a contest entry for which I have 6 hours total to work :-).
Thanks. Can't beleive I made the top three?
Voodoo, you'rs kicked ass. I loved how every section ahd something quirky about it to make it seem like another leg of an adventure. Very, dare I say, Disneyish?
The entries were amazing, very nice competition turnout! I loved both Kumba's and VooDoo's so no "complaints" here. Keep the great work rollin' guys! Can't wait for the next competitions!
Gymkid - After watching the ride, my jaw dropped. This is some great stuff. It's just too bad that someone will make it themed and 10Xs better someday and they will get all of the praise for it...
Kumba - Classic Kumba here, although his best work yet. Very nice ideas. Although every time I push unpause I get an error trapper, so I cant really just the ride...
VooDoo - This rocked. It's not your best work, but that didn't matter. I didn't care for the octipus thing tho... I just love that theme. Good job.
But seriously I'm really glad that Fort Uity Mine was you favourite, and that my work was genuinely appreciated.
WME~ *blushes*
Thanks for taking the time to view my ride and for the ego boost.
Mantis~ I'm very happy to see someone taking a genuine interest in my work and thanks for the comments, greatly appreciated.

Ice Dragon - nothing new, just a good/ok rct2 park and a nice rapids, i liked that waterfalls and scenery used, but aside from that it was a bit dull.
Freak - I was very disapointed. i dont know how you could send that in a week ago, i would have worked on it alot more and even added a RAPIDS ride to it, the only good thing in this park was the landscapeing and a few of the hacks were nice.
DarkFire - Best track hacking of the round, i loved the layout, but other then that you did not have much at all, the landscaping, archy and theme were poor. altho i did like the mine shaft, great idea.

comment replys........
VooDoo - Im glad you were confused, that wall slanting hack is something i have never seen anyone but me do, i think it helped TTs wooden rooves look better. oh and be careful coz your spelling is starting to rival mine as the worst here.
Evil WME - you seen to have very very high landscaping standerds, i think voodoo' was awsome and mine was good to?
Iris - I never said my entry was better then voodoos, infact if i was the judge i would have picked voodoos to, but yeah mainly for its shear scale.
Mantis - thank you, im glad you liked it so much, you know i have enterd 8 contests and came in second 7 times and never won, its good to see you think i should have.
Titan - I have no clue why you are getting erorrs i had none and you are the first i heard about them from.
thanx for all the replys good or bad.

darkfire and gymkid's were both VERY uber-creative, I'm surprised that gymkid wasn't placed higher. darkfire is not a surprise due to the lack of theming and archy..but the idea and creativeness is definetely there.
Kumba's annoyed me. it was very good, but was so repetitive in the theming and archy area. The rapids themselves were actually very good, I'd give you SOME bragging rights there..but the atmosphere lacked.
Ice Dragon: umm..i have no idea how to put this into words. It was weird. There. Discussion over.
VooDoo: incredible. Definetely the best entry quality and rapids wise. The atmosphere is of course alive and well, and the theming is very good. What really surprised me is your landscaping ability, which I found to be pleasantly jaw-dropping. Nothing like mantis and RR, but still very good considering RCT2. Great job.
Freak: Yours was an adventure ride. Simply put. Move on and make something cool. Really. It was boring and almost mirrored the theming from Xanfia and Exile. Wow. Sorry for the bluntness, but I didn't really enjoy this at all.
My List For Rapids:
1. VooDoo
2. gymkid
3. Kumba
4. darkfire
5. Freak
6. Ice Dragon
I just had to keep it paused.
Honestly, I wasn't that big of a fan. It was boring. Nothing jumped out. The architecture was pretty detailed, and the snake was "cool", but it was just meh. Howevers, at least yours is themed/finished :-).
Anywayz,
1. Kumba; Nice hacks, some innovative ideas (the snake) but maybe some buildings placed with the ride could have made it better...Overall a great entry! The best IMO
2. VooDoo; Great ride, more an adventure ride, but that helped to create a nice atmosphere.... The water hacks were the coolest. The 2nd one imo...
3. Ice Dragon; Yeah, it was more a park with a rapids ride in it. However I think this entry is a bit underrated. The ride was well executed and and the architecture was fine...
4. Gymkid; hmmm...not my favorite, but certainly different than the 'usual' rapid ride. Therefore quite unique, and all the hacks made it look good...
Since I don't have rct1 on my computer I wasn't able to look at the other (rct1) entries...

sorry if its not working.
and if you cant see the park and are not sure if you want to DL it here are 2 screens
Spiders!
Anaconda!
I have to admit I liked Voodoo's the best too...sorry Kumba...another second place for you
I think the only reason people are having error trapper problems with Kumba's is because of the new scenery he put in there.....just open the park a second time and it should open...no problem...it did for me anyway....
I think Kumba did a great job on his though and a lot of really cool extras...loved those tarantulas...
Gymkid....some great ideas in that one....you need to finish theming that up and make a mini park out of it or something...
I liked Ice Dragon's little roman park too but as others have said...the focus should have been more on the rapids and not the park.
Not too thrilled with Freaks but darkfire's was very nice indeed.
Can't wait to see next week's entries.
I'm serious here. Why would you post something I didn't even create? I've never even seen that before! I'm really pissed off.
That's not rctfreak's.
I'll post his tonight, but the judging was still correct, I just uploaded the wrong file.
Take it easy there killer.
^Saved you the trouble...
