Pro Tour 1 / The NE Pro Tour

Damn, WME beat me to it.

This would be my list for this round:

1. Kumba
10. Six Frags
100000000. Coasterkidmwm

I don't know whether I interpret the round-title right, but Kumba has done exactly the sort of thing i would have done, had I entered. X Gon' Give It To Ya is a brilliant mini, and is perhaps my favourite from the competition as a whole so far. He's taken X's themes, and recreated them...in rct2?! And those letters, as WME said, are inspired. I really can't fault this entry at all - the entrance is NOT a carbon copy of X's - it has the same colours and style (as expected from a member-themed entry) but not only is it just in rct2, but it includes all the rct2 touches one would expect from a completely original theme. AND, Kumba has magically merged TWO examples of X's work, almost seamlessly. AND, not only has he done that, he's chosen one of X's most challenging parks, Evolution. The landscaping is accurate, the scupltures brilliant, and the coaster is far better than either of the other two entries. And then the letters.

Really, I can't see how this could fail to win...

I'll give Six Frags credit, and please don't take my support for Kumba's entry as an insult of your entry. Your architecture was really well done, and the theme was a challenging one. It's a shame you didn't use all that custom scenery (like the bog-trees), because they looked really good. I just think that naming a ride after a member isn't really a 'member-themed' ride.

CoasterKidmwm - lol! funny park. Not really worth a second glance though


Well, i'm sad that Kumba didn't win this round, and I hope he has the tenacity to enter again until he does win through, cos god knows he deserves it.

Roll on next round - and I sure hope that more people enter, because 3 is a pretty poor turn-out if you ask me...

I loved the way Kumba merged the worlds of LL and RCT2 together. The hacking was ingenious in places and I too thought he should've been the winner. I basically concur with Mantis and WME on most points, so no reason to get long winded here. I'm sure if you stick with it you'll get a victory somewhere along the way. Right now I'm kind of glad you haven't won yet as I get to see more of youre work.

As for the number of entries, I'm not at all surprised by the small number this round. One of the harder contests to come up with a good idea imo. I'm sure the next will be more prolific.

I thought Kumba's entry was interesting, but hard for me to relate to since I don't give a damn about RCT1 or the "history" of LL parks and parkmakers.

Six Frags made a great little park. Nice effect at the beginning, fun landscaping and solid architecture. Congrats!

He's taken X's themes, and recreated them...in rct2?!

Well, that was my problem too... I first builded a ride amonst a member's style, but after a while I noticed I was literaly copying that member's way of building... So I decided to theme it after a member's name...I found that DragonInferno gives a lot of fine ideas to build upon... the fire, the dragon, colors/landscaping etc... It's just the way you interpreted 'NE-member themed ride'...
Thanx for the compliments however...

LOL, no wonder.......

Someone needs to take a class in prediction.

However, I do think you should have won. No offense Six Frags, it was a fantastic ride, but I just think how Kumba pulled it off was slightly better.

Kumba definitley should have won this one. He was robbed, IMO.

I really didn't like SixFrags' that much at all. The coaster looked like just an excuse to hack while Kumba's had amazingly integrated hacks (even if the ride idea was jacked).

Oh yea, and Kumba, don't forget about how you lost to me in the April Pro Design Contest over at RCPro

Yeah, and he lost that bet about the football game. If you ask me, Kumba's been one unlucky guy lately.

Wow I just realized something. Speedviper, you're member number 911, and, you joined on September 11th. Thats a freaking weird coincidence.

Anywho, I feel he got jyped too. Is that the right way to spell jyped, or is it gyped?

actually, he joined September, 10.

Still kinda freaky

Yeah, ive been thru this before. Depends on ur time zone, its either the 10th or the 11th depending on where u live. I joined on Sept 10 at like 11:00, so for some people thats sept 10.

Sorry that must really piss you off when everyone bothers you about it. O well, anywho, can't wait to see next weeks results.

I can't wait either. I just finished my Adventure Ride and it is fuck'n AWASOME.

I'll just say "I warned you".

I wonder who else is entering in this round though... That could really be the
deciding factor here.

ride6

LOL.

Hes so sure of himself.

Please, someone humble him...

Well, if you visited thrillnetwork, you could really understand the 'power' of that threat

No, just kidding. ride6 has alot of skill and potential. It's entierly possible he has created a great adventure ride. I would just like to point out though, that there are lots of other talented people here, and Kumba is probably getting really hungry for this position, after comming in second twice.

Well put nate. I did say that this really depends on who else is entering, did i not!?

I'm nervius about Kumbas entry and stuff but if i don't have confindence in my entry who will?

that's all.

Actually, I think he's come second all three times, right? Oh wait, nm. Roger came in second in hotels.

This is a waste of a post.

Corky, the least you could've done was spell check his post

Who cares??

The main issue is, you kids are killing the Runner-Up thread!

STOP!!!!!
