Hey everyone! It's time for a new Ride Creation Contest. This will be an NCSO contest, so the DKSO recolourable objects cannot be used. For this contest, everyone will have to use a Great White Shark train somewhere in the map! This is a Corkscrew Rollercoaster train from one of the official RCT2 expansion packs, and it has already been used in many contest entries! (TIP: search for the tag Shark on the website!)
Additionally, you will have to build a Splash Boats ride! Splash Boats in RCT2 are based on modern shoot-the-chute rides, where guests splash down a track in big boats. Unlike most log flumes, these boat rides usually feature only one big drop. In most parks where these rides have been built the ride consists of an oval or figure eight track, and is just built to look tall and intimidating with a big drop visible to everyone, while in some parks like Universal Studios they have been heavily decorated. Try placing some paths near the big splash for some guest interaction!
Rules
You are allowed to make teams of up to two people in this round!
Rule 1: You have to use a Great White Shark rollercoaster train somewhere in the map. It does not have to be ridable.
Rule 2: You must build a Splash Boats ride on the map. It must use the Splash Boats vehicles.
Rule 3: The deadline for this contest will be on the 26th of April at 19:00 CET!
Rule 4: This is an NCSO contest. For this contest, you are only allowed to use objects from the RCT1 and RCT2 base game and their official expansions, and official OpenRCT2 objects. You are allowed to use a custom palette if you want, but other custom objects cannot be used. At the bottom of this page you can find a workbench with all allowed objects already enabled.
Rule 5: The maximum map size for this round is 2000 tiles. This number will be calculated by multiplying the size of the map edges. You could for example make a map that is 40 x 50 tiles, or 44 x 45 tiles.
Rule 6: There is no limit to the amount of opened rides you can have in the park.
Rule 7: Have fun!
How to join
Step 1: Join my Discord server. Discord is completely free!
Step 2: Build your map and decorate it!
Step 3: When you are done with your contest entry, go on Discord, and send the save file to me in a Private Message. For the name of the save file, I want you to simply use the name that you use on Discord. For example, if your discord name is Enox, for the save file name, use Enox.park. After you have sent the save file to me, I will look if it follows the rules, and I will check for anything you can still improve. You can resubmit your entry until the deadline of the round, even if I have already accepted it. Please deselect all unused custom objects before sending in the save file!
Step 4: Submit a story for others to read in the voting poll! You can do this by writing your story in a Private Message to Deurklink on Discord!
After the deadline has passed, I will put up a voting poll with all the entries. In this voting poll, everyone who is a member on my Discord, including you, will be able to rate all the other entries, and leave a short review.
When the voting period is over I will announce the results in a Youtube video!
Good luck, and have fun!
