Theme Park Discussion / Cornell Theme Park Design Competition

Hi all,

I am the Corporate Outreach Committee Chair for the Cornell Theme Park Entertainment Group. We are getting ready to host our second annual Cornell Theme Park Design Competition, and I wanted to spread the invitation to compete to New Element!

The specifics of the design prompt will be announced when registration ends and the competition period begins, but it will include taking a medium-sized attraction/land from blue sky concept to site planning and financials. Any group of two to four full-time university students can participate, any major is welcome and groups can be composed of members from different universities. We are hoping to encourage a wide use and mix of mediums, including RCT and other computer design platforms, so college-aged RCTers are definitely welcome!

Registration will open this upcoming Saturday, March 5th, and close on Wednesday, March 16th. Information regarding the nature of the contest, team requirements, and judges and sponsors can be found on our website at http://cornelltpeg.w...ompetition.html and will be updated both there and on our Facebook page.

Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about the contest and I will do my best to help!

What a surprise! I am certainly interested in participating in this contest, as I'm sure many of us here are. Hopefully we can come up with a few good teams to represent NE, and who knows, maybe contend for the win.

Thank you for sharing this with us!

This is so cool! Definitely interested in looking into this more!

Sounds super interesting, not sure if I'll have the time for it though

Thanks for the responses, guys!

Registration is now open at http://cornelltpeg.w...ompetition.html. Registration closes on Wednesday, March 16th, so don't delay! We recommend that if you are at all interested you sign a team up; that way you can see the prompt when it is released and evaluate if it is something you have the time for.

Just thought I'd update this topic by stating that I just finished up my team's entry today, and all the proposals are due by midnight tonight. This project was a lot of fun to participate in, and I am looking forward to participating in similar contests in the future.

Thanks again for sharing this with us Coaster Cow. If it wasn't for you posting this topic, I would've completely missed out on this great opportunity. Hopefully my team did well, as I have no idea how competitive the other entries are, but needless to say I'm happy with our finished product.
