New Element is not set in stone. Sometimes, stuff comes out of left field and really surprises us. That is exactly the case with newcomer Bacchus. Though he may be fresh at New Element, he certainly isn't a stranger to the game, and has been playing for about six years. He showed promise at RCT-Guide, and after a 1st place finish in a summer competition there, he decide to try his hand at a design. Lo and behold, we present to you that very design: Chamois

sorry bacchus, guess i gave this a kinda harsh vote. i just don't know, it didn't really "thrill" me much. i think it missed too much concept and the only strengths i saw where in the strong focus on landscaping. nevertheless, i'm very much looking forward to seeing more rct creations from you.

The one major thing I didn't like was the extra train holding area... in order for the train to come back on the track they'd have to pull it out in a weird way then pretty much back up the drop out of the station to get the entire train off the transfer track and on the main track.

I'm looking into that way too much but yeah, just irked me.

congratulations*

i don't know, the topics screens were amazing, the landscaping is. but i dont see a design worthy coaster. the station just seems to be there, i dont see where the time an thought was spent on random shop buildings following a theme i cant quite catch for the entrance area. i was expecting alot more inversions and some more intensity from the screens that were presented too. just falls short in alot of places as a whole.

I very much enjoyed this ride. the landscaping was lovely and any coaster hacked like that is after my own heart.

The transfer track was a bit off but overall i think it was an excellent entry and well deserved its design spot.
Congrats on your first NE release.

First of all, thanks for the Design!
I know the coaster may be unrealistic as hell, but when I started this I really didn't give a fuck about realism . I will try to explain why the spare train looks weird. I finished the station, but then I realised i forgot to make a spare train. I first tried to redo the station, and building a spare train in it, but I failed due to the fact that I only had a small amount of space. Then I made it this way, and i thought it was better to have a weird spare train, than none. But maybe I was wrong.
Whatever, hope you'll enjoy it .

Why? Your design was already unrealistic as hell!

Congrats on your design Bacchus!

I completely missed this in the ad district, so I had no expectations or preconcieved notions before opening the park. I wouldn't say the coaster was a far fetched idea or anything. It needs a few tweaks here and there, but otherwise, it's a valid idea.

The landscaping was nice, with a beautiful waterfall! It feels bare here and there as far as buildings go, but I'm guessing this is at a higher elevation, not many houses, walmarts built on top of mtns anyway.

Nice work, and congrats on a release!

That was a great design, hope to see more from you.

Also, the yellow bars on the new pages look absolutely terrible, please make them clear or blue or something.

What a brilliant idea, executed well too.

Edit: By brilliant idea, I mean I love when rides go over rivers.

Also, Todd, wtFF does your thing under you're name say "That's What She Said?" We have c. the same # of posts, and I love that expression!!

Congrats on the Design! for me, it was good, but no amazing. I really liked the castle station, and you had some great landscaping. the archy was great. detailed, pleasant and no overwhelming. The coaster itself was too much differnt for me. the first part was great with the giant loop and the deadends right at the top of the mountains. Then, it turned from a really crazy coaster into just a regualr with big turns and some loops and the traditional interlocking corkscrew finish. it was nice, but i felt like you could have made the end have another reversed section that would have looked really cool. either way, loved the atmosphere, congrats on the design!
