No offense, but this coaster isn't even worth a dollar.

ahhh, the BLUE KANGAROO. he did not ACTUALLY win that money, it went towards a scholarship and yes the ride is pitifull to a horrendous extenet.


the rides is extremely unrealistic and just down right wrong. I think if that won a 100,000 scholarship one of us would win a billion dollar scholarship!

I thought it was crap.

There are too many lift hills and it goes a little slow.

My guess is that they picked a random winner from the people that entered.

It's the only logical explanation.

That ride is horrible, I knew about this, I should have put some of mine in there, cause all of my coasters, including the bad ones are 1000 times better than that.

You know what would be really funny?
If the ten year old who won that contest was really using these forums and lying that he really is over 13! :shock:

I don't know why you guys are hating so much. I'm glad to see them letting the blind into these contests.

Yea, good plan poorly executed. I hope they have another one with stricter basics such as,

1. have some intrest in what the money will be used for (i think the rules said the money will be for college in some sort of coaster area?)
2. MUST HAVE SCENERY!
3. must have some sort of theme(even generic [like VU])
4. YOU MUST KNOW WTF YOU"RE DOING!
5. have to be at least 13 because, face it, thats when we get mature and take pride in our work and know what we're doing (if your under 13, NO OFFENSE)
YEA!!!! THREE MONTHS TO GO!!!!!!!
