this was my entry. I thought it was a fun contest.

Jumbo Jet @ Coney Island - Kaufman - East

The layout was just a visualization tool and not for the final engineering which would have been done by the manufacturer.

Wonder if they had second thoughts about letting hobbyists work with them based on how they did in a contest rather than other credentials.

From what I've heard, you had to design a coaster and if you won you would get to work with a manufacturer to build it in real-life or something along those lines

Talking about Zierer building the winning coaster, I believe their Force 281 model was designed by an extern coaster enthusiast and not by Zierer

Hurricane @ Race City PCB

Nope!
Another hint added

Windstorm @ Fun Forest Amusement Park

Nope

What was the coaster X contest?

Can you do Bush Beast at Austraila's Wonderland?

Cool. I was thinking on it today and wondered what had become of it.

To my understanding, the coaster was to be built by Zierer. The winners were in contact with the company that commissioned the contest, but eventually stopped hearing back. It’s long since been dead

For those that have been around for over 5 years and remember the Coaster X Contest. Was it ever announced where the coaster was going that the winner designed?

Hurricane @ Playland Park

No to all. Hint is added

Alpen Blizzard @ Alpen Park
