I don’t know if any of the 2021/22 players think I’ve missed anything, but I think that just about covers everything important! There are also winning plaudits for those who have gained the most Originality and Realism points throughout the competition. When all the rounds have elapsed, the person who has accumulated the most points throughout the competition wins.You will gain nothing points-wise from any theming you add and lose nothing for not adding theming rankings should be based solely upon the coaster layout produced. By all means put some light landscaping and terraforming in if you would like to, but please place sole emphasis upon the layout.
I should point out that this is a roller coaster layout building contest, so don’t focus too much on theming. Each round will last 2 weeks, broken down into 1 week for the building stage and 1 week for the voting stage. The exception to this is the Bonus Round at the end of the competition, where each ranking is worth double what it is in a regular round.
In the regular rounds, a #1 ranking scores 5 points, a #2 ranking scores 4 points, a #3 ranking scores 3 points, a #4 ranking scores 2 points, and a #5 ranking scores 1 point. Whoever gets the most points in a given round wins that round, and the points are allocated through weighting of the rankings given. There are also options to nominate Most Original and Most Realistic.
When the building stage of a round ends, we will then move onto a voting stage, where we will all vote for which layouts we like most from that week. Once you have built your creation, you need to film a POV and off-ride shots and post them in this thread. Each brief will give you constraints to work within, such as a min/max height, min/max speed, min/max length, max footprint, or possibly even something else entirely. Your task is to build a roller coaster in Planet Coaster (console or PC it doesn’t matter) that meets that brief. At the start of each round, I will post a brief inspired by a real world context. So for those of you who didn’t take part last year, as well as 2021/22 players who might need a reminder, let me jog your memory a little with some bullet points to sum up the basic gist of the contest: Let me firstly give you all a reminder of how the contest works, for those of you who need a reminder or have never competed before… Hi everyone! It probably feels like you’ve hardly blinked since the 2021/22 Speed Build Contest finished, but believe it or not, the closed season is nearly upon us once again, and it’s almost time for the TowersStreet Planet Coaster Speed Build Contest 2022/23 to begin!Īs people mostly seemed to like the last contest, I have another Speed Build Contest planned for you all this closed season! Not only that, it’ll be even bigger and (hopefully) better than last year’s!
