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.

Mine's just a launched beemer with about 5 switchbacks all for Adix
Chris - I loved the hacks over the bridges and the general feel of the ride. The only think I thought missed was the speed. It just seemed to slow in a number of areas especially towards the end.
Bender - Another great ride and a theme I would not have thought of. The only problem would be the fact that the peeps would not be able to enjoy it. Talk about a fast coaster.
Rog - Great ride. This was my fav of the group that I saw. I agree that the tree's are ugly and I for one can't stand them but I understand why you used them though. Loved the train yard BTW
Looking forward to seeing more and congrats to all.

I guess there's some confusion for people there.
More of an architecture based competition unlike all the theming/coaster ones.
Guess some people don't know what a dark ride is?
I guess dark rides = Experience+Excavation+Green Goblin
Looking forward to those.
I think the classic definition of a dark ride would be an enclosed ride which uses florescent lighting to highlight show senes like the DL fantasyland attractions, I think generally today dark rides would be considered indoor attractions featuring show / scene elements...indianna jones adventure / spiderman etc....Should be an intersting round

it has to be indoors?! damn it! this isnt good! no i gotta start all over...well, i dont care, ill just send it in anyway...
Hmm...
yay!
It might be best if you consider sending in a non-roof version, cos that way people can see what's going on without all the covers. Even better would be to do a non-roof version, then install the roof (hopefulyl elaborate) and send in a roof-version too!
Architecture isn't all there is to a dark ride - you've got to have coaster set pieces, intricate theming and, above all, a great layout.
I think it's the hardest contest of all of these! Which may cause it to be undersubscribed and disappointing. I sincerely hope not though.

Iris, you may want to put this somewhere in the initial post in this thread. It's been posted so many times in this thread I've got it memorized, but the thread is getting so long it's probably really hard to find.
