Coming off the most succesful and best contest in RCT history, The Hi-Rollers Contest in which Mala walked away with the first prize with the stunning "Escalante River Falls", we decided to quickly ride that success and announce the newest addition to New Element....The NE Pro Tour. This will mark NE's fifth contest, but definitely the most complex, seeing as its way different from any other contest idea we've had in the past. If you watch golf at all, you will figure out how this works pretty easily. If not, it may take some time, although the concept is simple.
Basically....it's a contest that you must be invited to join. You have to earn your spots, and nobody excluding Parkmakers has done that yet. Some people have asked me "What's the big deal about being a Parkmaker, you don't get any special tribute, just a page", well now you see, since they all get free access into this contest. It is the non-parkmakers that have to be invited, and they can do this by winning one of the weekly contests we will be holding (winner also recieves $5). We will be holding a weekly contest for the next three months...and for you math majors out there...that's a maximum of 12 non-parkmakers being invited. Also, at least one new parkmaker will be chosen due to this contest (as Scarface was picked from Hi-Rollers).
Now, once the non-parkmakers earn their spots, and the full contest is on (still not revealed what that is, but will most likely turn out similar to Hi-Rollers, a small park to complete). Now you might be saying..."big deal, another bonehead contest with too much work where everyone will drop out". You may be right...but I wouldn't advise that to anybody.....since the grand prize of this contest (guarenteed this time, regardless of number of entries) is.....$100 (also coming from Raven). Worth your time now?
Now...here is a list of what the Weekly Contests will be, along with their due dates. These are for non parkmakers only. You guys can enter as many contests as you want to, but only one entry per week will be allowed. After a non-parkmaker wins the weekly contest, they are forbidden to enter any more contests. I'm showing what the contests are ahead of time to give people a little time to work, and also to choose which weeks they would like to try and earn their spots.
These are for both LL AND RCT2, and all contests are for THEMED entries, not just raw layouts. 1.John - Create The Best Hotel (Due October 20, 2003) 2.VooDoo - Create The Best Rapids Ride (October 27) 3.Six Frags - Create The Best NE-Member Themed Ride (November 3) 4.ride6 - Create The Best Adventure Ride (November 10) 5.sloB - Create The Best Liquid Coaster (November 17) 6.nemesis chris - Create The Best Mine Train (November 24) 7.Kumba - Create The Best Wooden Coaster (December 1) 8.Alienated - Create The Best Steel Twister (December 8 ) 9.gir - Create The Best Dark Ride/Dark Coaster (December 15) 10.Phatage and cBass - Create The Best Alien Themed Coaster (December 22) 11.RWAdams - Create The Best Movie-Themed Ride (December 29) 12.Gymkid Dude - Create The Best Video Game-Themed Ride (January 6) Bonus 1-Micool Bonus 2-darkfire Extra Round Winner - Titan (January 14)

or no odds are i will win the rapids one so i dubt i will need to do more then one entry.
This is the best contest idea I've ever seen! I just hope nobody gets thru one of the prelim rounds by default. Remember the more weekly contests you enter the better chance you have of getting on tour.

1. = John or maybe alex00087
2. = Hard to say, and no, Kumba isnt 100% fav to win it, as honestly me and others are just as good at them.
3. = Urm.
4. = Its gotta be freak.
5. = Me, Gym, could be quite a few realy.
6. = Quite alot of people.
7. = Open contest.
8. = - Already started on it.
9. = Open contest.
10. =
11. Open contest.
12. Open contest.
Should be a very interesting contest. Not only will the contest itself produce some amazing parks, but the qualifying stages should spawn some amazing pieces of coasters, water rides and hotels.
12 spots and a whole lotta great parkmakers vying for them. Peeps I'd like to see advance would be TC, cBass, John, Kai, GKD, VooDoo, Kraken, RWAdams, RCTNW, Andrew, Micool, Freak, Aviator, AK, Kumba...omg there are so many that could do great stuff and advance in this contest. This should be amazing. Picking the right weeks to compete could prove crucial.
I guess I shall start my hotel tonight. *glares at john competetively(is that even a word)*
Kraken
But you see, sir, I have me good friend ToonTowner's scenery in my possession. *evil laugh once again* Mwhaaaa... good luck to all entering!
Now that was just nasty...everyone is gonna be asking me for it now! I really didn't expect you to be making a public release of it so soon when I let you have it. Hmmmm, either you can't use it or I have to release it for everyone.
IMO... this is by far the best idea for a contest i have seen. Though i doubt i have any chance at all i will be entering as many as possible, except the hotel, mine would look horrible.
Good luck to everyone.

EDIT : are all of the entered parks going to be put up for download?

We allowed to advertise, or to 'taunt' opponents?
