I though I would have enough time to build a new coaster for this contest, but didn't so I chose Cactus Jack, my most exciting coaster to date, because it's my only coaster with a ride time greater than 4 minutes. At first it was called "Gargantua", but then while placing some cacti around the coaster I though of Cactus Jack, one of the characters of American professional hardcore wrestling legend Mick Foley.

With a name like Cactus Jack I knew I had to use his theme song for the video. While pretty awesome as a theme, the song is quite repetitive, so I only used a part of it. I also wanted something more upbeat to fit better with the coasters breathtaking speed and Captain Jack was the best song I could think of.

I built the first design of this coaster in about 4 hours or so in February. After adding some scenery I didn't play the park until June when I started adding more scenery and rides as well. In July when I found out about this contest I made the track somewhat longer and less intense in design, and also started adding more and more scenery. No cheats or trainers were used.

I believe I'm entitled to these points:
►100 points for hills/mountains
►50 points for lakes/rivers (river in screenshot #2)
►150 points for other rides around the coaster
►200 points for scenery
►25 points for max. speed over 60mph
►25 points for height over 100ft
►50 points for different land types (rock, dirt and grassy dirt)
►25 points for different ride entrance (wooden)

These points I'm not sure about:
►75 points for 3 or more block brakes
►25 points for popularity from guests
►50 points for satisfaction from guests
►50 points for how many guests have rode the ride and favorited it

Bonus points I believe I have earned:
►Height over 200ft
►Max. speed over 75mph
►Ride length over 11,000ft
►Ride time more than 4min but less than 4min 40 secs
►Use an original scenario already in the game

I'm eligible for one of these special awards:
►100 points for best ratings
►100 points for best scenery usage
►100 points for longest ride length

I have one question, right after I build a coaster, add a bunch of scenery, then a few hours later, I decide to add more scenery an the excitement just stays put. For example, I build a massive giga coaster that has an excitement of 12.33 right after I put scenery in, it shoots up to 14.88, 2 hours later, I added in more scenery and there, the excitement just stays the same! Why?

[matsku84]

@mercritoXd11 You could try resetting the coaster test results (by for instance changing the chain lift speed) and then doing a test run.

[Slayers1994]
