Station for the woodie is about halfway completed, built entirely of supports. I chose to make the station out of a completely separate ride (set to 0 trains) so as to allow a quicker build process considering freezing and unfreezing happens quite frequently, and the woodie takes a minute to process and freeze as is.

Fair points - I must add however that the inverse is also true. Many prospective contestants may not be well-versed with the in-game tools, whether that be hand-building or the built-in FVD. Taking away their primary tool makes entering very hard, if not impossible, since they may not have enough experience to sucessfully shape their ride in the very short timespan. For these users, FVD isn’t necessarily an advantage or an easy way to make a smooth ride - many are very skilled with shaping and it’s just a totally different skillset. They may be just as skilled as the handbuilders, just a in a different aspect :)
Looking forward to participating!

Adding to the above, it also levels the playing field. Not everyone is well versed in FVD++, which means those that aren't have a disadvantage since FVD++ can make perfect tracks. Same tools, same system, same constraints for everyone to make it fair. Disallowing scenery removes the advantage from theming.

Spend the 5 hours building, smoothing, supporting, and testing your coaster. You'll need all of it.

Been adding some rides and adjusting scenery and positioning the last week. Have added a B&M invert and a Premier LIM bowl, as well as a wild mouse by Slalom.

At this point I won't be adding any more roller coasters as my machine is lacking the horsepower for it, but I'll be adding a few more flat rides and finishing off any scenery/theming.

In the past, they have wanted to keep this competition purely NL2 based. So, that means no using any 3rd party software. This is also why things like custom scenery and scripted operations haven’t been allowed either. The 5HoP Park that has been built over the years has become a showcase of “this was 100% done with what is packaged in NL2”.
