Well, I didn't get mine finished. No supports, a clearance fail, not that interesting to ride, and rather wasteful on space. Oh, and about 500 short on capacity. Other than that it went great! lol
I probably shouldn't have tried to do a Zamperla Twister Coaster, as I got in more of a spin than the cars...

After failing to complete the challenge during 5HOP, I decided to have another go on Sunday, then again yesterday. I STILL can't lay an interesting, working, safe, and meeting capacity layout in just 5 hours. Never mind starting on the supports!
So far, rather than Five Hours Of Power, I've had 15 Hours Of Pain...
I'm still going to try again next year though.

Hey guys, remember 5HOP7? The results of which we did a live stream forever ago for a contest from two forevers ago? Well, here, FINALLY, is the scoring sheet, ready to be shared with the world.

Thanks for everyone's patience while we waited for real life to get out of the way of providing feedback to you all.

And FINALLY here is my HUGE THANK YOU! - It took me a few weeks to find out the results were already out, and another few days now to find the time to write something :D
I'm so excited that my entry made it to the top! Especially as there were some very good entries. I am impressed with what some of you managed to create within 5 hours (as I am every year).

The contest was quite hard in my opinion. I was almost sure I missed out on one of the rules. So I guess it was worth checking the ride again and resending the entry form two times last minute. :D The supports were enormously time-consuming so that I wasn't even able to care about a station - and yeah, I forgot a few supports at the first drop as well... So glad this didn't dq my entry.

So thank you for once again staging this fantastic contest and giving such detailed feedback in the live stream! I really enjoyed it and I'm already looking forward to hopefully being able to participate next year to defend the title. ;)
