It's that time of year again. Time for a Coaster Draft!That's right, its your chance to hand pick your rides to build your very own park. However, this time we'll have a splash of some new elements.

New for this edition is that your park must include a water park. In order to facilitate this each contestant must draft slides in order to create a total theme/amusement park experience with both coasters and slides. Essentially a park like Michigan's Adventure, but of course on a larger scale.

Rules:

• The order of picks will be randomly assigned once everyone is signed up
• There will be 15 rounds
• Each park must contain a minimum of 3 slides. A slide complex will count as one slide
• Racing/Dueling coasters will count as 1 coaster
• The goal is to create the best overall park
• You may miss up to 3 turns. Missing 4 turns will disqualify you
• The contest will be judged via a poll

Ride Selection:

• Every participant will have 24 hours from the time of the previous participant's selection to pick.
• When selecting your ride, please announce who is going next and what time they must submit their pick. For example "Tyler Carlton has until 10:12 pm EST on Wednesday, May 30 to make their pick.
• EVERYTHING WILL BE IN EASTERN STANDARD TIME
• You may select no more than 3 coasters from the same park
• You may select no more than 2 slides from the same park
• When selecting your ride please include the ride name, park name, RCDB link. An embedded YouTube link is preferred but not required
• Pick order will invert every round.

I will be more than happy to field any questions you may have.

And with this post I formally open up sign ups for the contest. SIGN UP WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MIDNIGHT EST ON SATURDAY, JUNE 2nd.

On the morning of June 3rd I will randomize the order of participants and post the list.

The first participant's selection time will begin at 12:01 AM on Monday, June 4th. They will have until 12:01 AM on Tuesday, June 5th to make their selection.

And that's it! SIGN UP TODAY!

[Thunderhead]

I'm in.

[Ryan Shrout]

Totally in!

[MontagnaMagica]

Sounds like fun! Count me in!

[CoasterKings908]

Count me in.

[The BeastFan]

Sign me up.

Just one quick question- How do you want us (if at all) to show the slides such as we do the RCDB bits for coasters?

[sethdawg17]

Definitely in! Should be fun and interesting.

[Thunderhead]

Are 2012 coasters eligible if they have opened?

[Tyler Carlton]

Just one quick question- How do you want us (if at all) to show the slides such as we do the RCDB bits for coasters?

I hadn't thought of that. A link to the park's website showing the slide would be ideal. If that doesn't exist a picture of a park map or a picture of the slide will suffice.

And Thunderhead, yes. 2012 coasters are eligible if they open before your pick.

[Danny Miller]

Let's do it! I'm in!

[Ryan Shrout]

Do SBNO coasters count?

[Daniel Westfall]

I'm thinking that we are using the same rules as previous years where it must have operated within the past 365 days.

[ZacharyFakterowitz]

Add me. Is this just Coasters or are dark and flat rides available for play too?

[Daniel Westfall]

Coasters and Slides, but you can add other rides to your write-up at the end if you wish.

[MorganFan]

Yes! I am so in!

[TexasCyclone]

Gotta love the annual coaster draft. Count me in.

[Nessie]

I'm in

[Bretten Bailey]

Why Not? I'm in too.

[Tyler Carlton]

The list has been randomized using a random number generator and we're ready to go.

Mike, your time will begin tonight at midnight EST and will end on Monday night at midnight EST.

[The BeastFan]

To start the draft, I pick a coaster from the 2012 batch. This B&M creation is seen as a major stepping up of their hyper coasters. Standing 306 ft tall with a top speed of 92 mph, I pick Canada's Wonderland's Leviathan.



Texas Cyclone has until midnight EST on Monday, June 4th to make his first draft selection.

Edited by Tyler Carlton, 03 June 2012 - 12:48 PM.

[Tyler Carlton]

TexasCyclone will have until Monday night at midnight EST to make his post since Mike jumped the gun a little bit After that we will be sticking to the 24 hour rule for the remainder of the draft.

[Tyler Carlton]

Texas Cyclone has missed his pick.

MontagnaMagica is now on the clock and has until midnight EST on Tuesday, June 5th to make his pick.

[MontagnaMagica]

My first pick is Dodonpa from Fuji-Q Highland. Its mind-blowing speed, and unheard of acceleration is sure to be a stand-out ride!



dmillz has until 3:55 AM EST, June 6, 2012 to make his pick. Am I right?

[Danny Miller]

Another 2012 coaster that I rode on opening day and I thought was absolutely spectacular, Hersheypark's Skyrush!

Having issues embedding but here's a linky



Nessie is up now and has until 10:32am EST on Wednesday, June 6th, 2012 to pick.

[Ryan Shrout]

Nessie has missed his pick. MorganFan now has until 11:17 AM Thursday, June 7th to make his pick.
