I'm not sure, but seeing that the contest is only for single coasters and not a park contest you might want to make another park with only that coaster in it.

Considering how much of the coasters' ratings are based on specific terrain and scenery, replicating everything exactly to the point where the ratings aren't affected would be nearly impossible.

Some rides are very closely linked with others, unfortunately. Not to the point to where one coaster literally goes through another (most of the time), but enough to significantly increase (or decrease, if removed) the excitement rating. I could remove all the coasters, but the outcome would be a large, mostly empty park filled with random paths and terrain abnormalities.

Would it be possible to upload an entry as a video file instead of a track or park file?

Or, better idea, I could just save the track without any of the scenery, upload that file (it wouldn't be useful for downloading because of height limits distorted by terrain), and take a bunch of screenshots (and a video if I can figure all that out) of the coaster in its "natural habitat". Is that against any rules?
