I promise in no way shape or form am I offended by any criticism negative or constructive. And I also greatly appreciate those that defended me as a new comer etc. I know I'm somewhat new, I've been here a few years but haven't posted much in the forums and this is the first time I've entered any online contests. I've made some great friends on here so far and received lots of advice. I'm definitely not the best creator of rides and themeparks, but I have a blast doing it, I've found it to be a great stress reliever! So as far as any opinions I'm all ears, I can take it! I thrive on other's ideas of ways they would have done it, constructive criticism, etc. Maybe someone sees something I didn't and brings it to my attention in a different light, it can only help. Honestly I'm not really the competitive type (although I did play soccer in high school) so if I don't win it's totally fine, it was still fun being in the running. Thanks again to everyone for all the feedback, hope everyone has a great night!

I voted for Ice Palace because I thought it was a good entry and I still stand behind my decision. It was great that you were able to get the POV in because it does make a difference. Sometimes screenshots don't do a coaster/park justice. With that being said I would recommend a few things for future entries. If you are going to use custom scenery
For the supports I would use Moby's Steel Jungle

Coaster Joe's B&M ConnectorsÂ

For the kind of coaster you made I'm not sure if these are the right sets, but I know many people use theseÂ
instead of Gadget_goodies. I know there is the support remover in the set so I still use that and a few other pieces that are included in it. I am not an expert in coaster building. This is just want people have recommended to me.
Chris MDB is always a great source for custom scenery when it comes to making a custom coaster.
These are just suggestions.Â
Good luck in the competition.
Thank you aecrouch2016! Those links are greatly appreciated, I've heard of the steel jungle set but never tried it, I think those will all come in handy. Thanks again!

I made the same mistake with my first entry so don't feel bad

Thank you so much I really appreciate your advice and your vote! I've definitely learned a lot about the process the past couple of days so hopefully I'll win one of these rounds at some point.

I'm sure you will. Do you think you could link me to the custom scenery you used? I'm going to download this when it becomes available and I'll need the custom scenery for it.
