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.

Im getting tired of seeing you enter and come in second every round. Come on iris, let him in, give someone else a chance at second place.
Though ride6 seems pretty confident, he should do well, having so long to prepare...
Hyperion
I'll just say that my Adventure Ride was at year 19 when i finished it. And really i think it could've used another hour or two, to add some more architecture. Oh well.
Kumba has the best statisical chance at winning this round. He's an expert at hacking and he also out does me in the theming/creativity departement. Who knows though. I spent a week consepting this and then two building it. None the less good luck to you, Kumba. I'm pulling for you, even if I pulling for myself more
I still want Kumba to get in, i just don't want to have to build two or three rides to get in.
ride6
Anyway, ride6, your minetrain in adobe creek was really good, so you could make a good show in that contest for sure.
Eveverone, start betting, how many more rounds will it be before Kumba gets in!
Good luck everyone.
BTW, how long is he unable to post for?
ya, and iris, where are ya? its 11:00 where i am now...sorry if im being too impatient...
They won't be up until tommorow night.
Since there were only two entries, I did the judging this round by myself, I was really impressed by one of the entries anyway.
Both entries were definitely very solid. While one really executed the theme incredibly well, and was a very in-depth experience, the other was more focused to hacks and ideas. While this one was pulled off nicely, I found it pretty repetitive in places (at least theming wise), and the layout was a bit uneventful. There were some nice elements, but looking at the same scenery (for the most part) really hurt the ride, while the other was a fully in-depth storyline that looked like something Butterfinger would build, and for that he picks up the victory.
The winner of this contest is....
ride6
Welcome ride6 to the Pro Tour! (Guess he really should have been that confident)
Kumba painfully again gets second place. I really hate to keep awarding second like this, but I was just really inspired by ride6's ride. Still, a very solid entry, and hopefully you'll find a place in this tour eventually. Also, the name of your ride was really bad imo...So vague, just like you took the words from every other adventure ride, and put them together in one name.
1. Indiana Jones and the Fortress of Peril by ride6
2. Quest for the Lost Legend by Kumba
Thanks to those who entered.
I'm thinking there'll probably be a big showing next week...seems like a more popular genre anyway.
I havn't DLed them yet. I'll review them soon.
Anyway,
I really liked Kumba's entry this week and was my favorite of all that he has submitted to date. I thought it fit the adventure aspect of the event (less the name). Keep at it, you'll get there.
Ride 6 - I for one appreciate the respect you showed in the readme file for those that could be offended by the entry. For that alone, I tip my hat to you. As for the park, There was just to much to see and I could not figure out what was the actual ride. I'll take a look again later though.
Looking forward to seeing more in the next few weeks.
rctnw
LMAO.
Kumba, am I right in saying that you are not entering the Liquid Coaster comp?
You've already shown your skills with creature-oriented environments in at least two entries. (Haven't looked at your Adventure Ride.) With those abilities I think you could answer the call in the Alien contest. Also, if any ride calls for some good hacks it is the Alien ride.
Not an obligation, just a suggestion.
Also, who all is entering the wooden coaster contest besides Hyperion and Kumba?
2-the name really wasnt that good...
but great try man! i know u will win the next one!
ride6 :u had a great entry and congrats on the win. u had a very creative ride here, and it had some nice hacks too...but for some reason it didnt draw me in like Kumba's did...but it still was cool! and the huge wall going around was a cool idea also...
great work guys!
i hope not, if he does ill be screwed, lol...
The only thing I can credit you for is the explosions.
Kumba: People will be thinking that I like this one best, but it isn't, its just as awful, a couple of structures and shrubs. with a coaster, not very adventurous IMO. The architecture and foliage was exactly the same as your rapids entry. I can tell you rushed it, 5 hours, man, in that amount of time all I can do is 4 buildings.
Neither of them impressed me, Im sending in my Liquid now.
Ride6 - I liked the layout of the ride except for the large loop (thought this could have been left out without affecting the quality of the ride in the least.) You seemed to have some nice exciting drops and the speed of the ride slowed down just enough to create suspense in places. Definitely the better of the two from a ride perspective.
My real beef with this park is the architecture and theming. I just didn't like it, it seemed random and sloppy and didn't create any atmosphere for me. The wall was a neat idea, but I thought it was just to dominating visually. Maybe it should've been shorter or had more elevation change or a more meandering layout. The buildings themselves just didn't transport me into any of the Indy movies, which is what I would have expected from an Indy ride.
Kumba - 2nd again, but this time you didn't deserve to win. The ride itself was incredibly boring really. It just seemed to meander aimlessly without creating any sense of adventure or excitement. It goes back to the old argument of using hacks to improve and add interest to the ride, or using the ride to show off your hacking ability. A unhacked ride that was well themed, with a great layout would have easily beat this. As for the architecture, I do like your style, but can't help but think I've seen this look over and over again in your work. It get's repetitive within the scope of this ride, but also on the larger scale of your body of work. Your X-Sector tribute was wonderful because it forced you to do something different and was extremely well executed. I'd like to see you really branch out and try something we've not seen from you before.
Looking forward the the next round.
And i didn't get a readme with the file, i hope it explained that swastika (sp?), if not, wtf ride6? Good job, ride6, all that confidence was warranted, solid ride.
Kumba, Kumba... Will you ever win?
