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.

leighx - I liked yours, but it was just a bit too treed and, although those water hacks were nice, altogether 'mediocre'. I think you can do better, judging by your screens. Maybe put more time in and you'd get better results.
rctfan - some really nice architecture, but completely overtreed. It really wrecked the coaster for me, cos the trees just SWAMPED it. I liked that tall building a lot, and the way the station was over the entrance area. V.nice. Your architecture's definitely your strong point, so i'd suggest working on theming your coasters better, with more interesting 'set pieces' and that sort of thing, rather than just trees trees trees!
bender - I liked the whole 'rock with temple on it' thing, but apart from the scattered 1/4 bits there wasn't much variation to the theme. Nice layout, nice concept...colour would have been nice.
Gah, gotta go eat. Edit in later.
back!
nemesis chris - ooh, nice details like the crosses and overhangs with broken temples....but DAMN is this theme getting old! seriously, it's as if rct2 is conducive to repetitive theming, cos three of these parks looked the same! I just got bored by this point, to be honest.
A1 - nice. very nice. and damn fun too. I really liked this entry for all the little theming details on the ride. I think a lot of the other entries impressed people because of their overall effect and general scale, but this one had character. The whole train track idea was great, the twists fun, the slow bits/launches fun. And how the hell did you turn that mine track into path?! Great work.
rwadams - the architecture was the best, the coaster theming was well integrated, the colours were good, and it was enjoyable to watch. Again, I feel that rwadams has come immensely close to winning through but has been beaten by a kind of 'more impressive but less atmospheric' entry. Great work, roger.
Looking forward to the next one. I'm rooting for both Kumba and rwadams to get through, cos I really feel they deserve it.

Sorry about the late reply but i will be entering too if that is alright as someone said earlier on about needing experience in competitions that like me.
This weeks woody comp should be good....is the safe money on the beemer hackmiester himself?.....kudos to you Kumba for sheer determination. :::
On a totaly different topic has anyone read the online accident report regarding the tragic big thunder mountain accident last month (I think miceage.com has it posted).....it gives a chilling step by step account of the accident as it occured on the ride that will send shivers down the spine of any coaster enthusiast. Lets hope all theme parks (not just DL) learn lessons from this tragedy.

On a related note, do all you Vekoma haters know that they built all of the Thunder Mountain rides for Disney? I didn't know that. I guess they can do a good job when their client pays for it. This accident was not the fault of Vekoma though in any way. It was primarily a maintenance problem. We take for granted that these rides are safe, and they are when they are properly maintained and operated.
Yes, indeed.
But no worries. I'm gonna lose.
