Maybe adjust the camera a little bit so we aren't staring at the track for the POV next time ;)

This is something I've been working on for I don't know how long, at least a year. I endeavored to make a GCI with a believable layout and shaping, and I'm pretty happy with the result. It is heavily inspired from and based off of Wood Coaster at Knight Valley. Of course, it is nowhere near perfect: the hills aren't as snappy as I would've loved them to be, the pacing is a little quicker than it should be (it zooms through a lot of the layout) and the ride could've had just a little more work put into it, but it is the most complete project I have really ever put out, and with a little help from n7's foliage, it looks much more appealing.

The very busy lift hill...

The view from the edge...

My favorite angle...

When the sun goes down...

And the lights come up...

Let me know what you guys think, I'm overall pretty happy with this project, and with only a few tweaks it'll be all ready for you guys to download and search for what i missed!

I was honestly quite upset when Georgia Cyclone closed at it was a really fun and good ride. Twisted Cyclone is obviously better, but I'll still miss the original.

Must have been someone else. This was my first ever attempt at modeling trains :p

^ I've never ridden a stand-up, but they always seemed so interesting to me, Mantis was my favorite looking ride when I first got into rollercoasters.

The Log Jammer at Kennywood, this ride really terrified me as a kid, but since Kennywood is my home park, I slowly warmed up to it and in the end would ride it at least once every trip to the park. Steel Curtain looks like it'll ride great (not a fan of the theme, however) but I will miss our log flume a lot

I'm not happy to see all the stand-up coasters slowly disappear. I love the concept, as uncomfortable as they can be.

At it's heart, the Roundups are as much a video editing/producing competition as they are a contest to build coasters. You've spent months working on beautiful scenery and meticulously ironed every unwanted wiggle out of the track. Now it's time to show your work off.

This can be summed up by one word: compelling. There are unlimited ideas/thoughts/concepts/inspirations for creating a video. No matter how you go about it, your video must be compelling. You want to grab the attention of the viewer and pull them in for the ENTIRE video.

Generally we recommend 2-4 minute long videos set to music with creative cuts/editing. Also be sure to include enough POV footage of your coaster for us to see what the ride experience is like. A wide variety of shots, creative camera angles, and interesting pacing all help keep the video compelling and attention focused squarely on your coaster. You can also add post-production effects/editing/layering.

Music is an essential part of your finished video. Music will set a tone and give your presentation a feeling and impression. Music makes scenes lighthearted, dark, intense, serious, somber, scary, suspenseful, angry, whimsical, wondrous, humorous, fantastical, and/or magical. Your music choice(s) set the scene and emotion for your presentation. Yes you can use your favorite electronic wub wub wub music, or an orchestral score, or country, or rock, or rap, or polka, or pan flutes, or drums, or adult contemporary, or show tunes, or a chior, or a car alarm set to a beat, or gothic shred thrash death metal. But before you choose music that you like, ask yourself: does it fit the imagery and the emotion of your video? If it doesn't and you just chose the song because that's what you like to listen to, try again and pick music that supports the presentation you are making. If it doesn't fit, it won't be compelling and we'll notice.

"Does my video have to be 2-4 minutes? Can I make it longer? Shorter?"

You can make your video however long you like. Long videos in the 7-8 minute range and short videos in the 2 minute range have all been honored previously. The key once again is to make it COMPELLING. It's extremely difficult to come up with 8 minutes of compelling footage that you can't look away from. Err on the shorter side and cut out the boring parts of your coasters that have nothing to do with the themed ride experience. Look at previous winners to see what they showed, and more importantly, didn't show.

Any additional questions? Feel free to ask away below!

Wait hang on im confused, didn't you already make these or am i thinking of someone else?

^Got it

The last rides are supposed to take place in August 2019 (if it will be open then, considering the downtime that it suffers)

Ah, when will Bob close then? The end of 2019?
