Great submission @mo237! Your ride has stacks of airtime and some interesting custom manoeuvres!

For everyone else, I’d just like to remind you all that we are now half way through Week 9.

I’ve had 1 response to the Round 11 Voting Google Form so far, and that is my own. If you’d like to vote for your Round 11 favourites, here’s the form allowing you to do so: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf4L2CHd-N3xkbEBemdE-Stav2ksXZcy2dlR5AgTQg3O7Lx0A/viewform

There have been 2 submissions for the Bonus Round so far, including my own. If you would like a deadline extension for the Bonus Round, please notify me before the deadline and I would be happy to facilitate one for you. If you have any issues with uploading videos or anything at all, get in touch with me and I would be very happy to solve these issues for you. If you do not get into contact with me before the deadline, I will assume that you are happy forfeiting this round and move on.

I'd certainly advise you all to submit something for the Bonus Round, if possible. You can build whatever you like, and any points you gain in the Bonus Round are worth double what they were worth in previous rounds, so it really is a pivotal round to compete in!

The deadline for both Bonus Round building and Round 11 voting is Friday 8th March 2024 at 11:45pm. The Week 13 Weekly Digest will be posted on Saturday 9th March 2024 at 12am.

That was very good! There was lots of airtime and the ride was smooth!
 
As there has seemingly been quite low engagement this week, I’d just like to remind you all that only 1 day remains of Week 12.

I’ve had 3 responses to the Round 11 Voting Google Form so far, including my own. If you’d like to vote for your Round 11 favourites, here’s the form allowing you to do so: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf4L2CHd-N3xkbEBemdE-Stav2ksXZcy2dlR5AgTQg3O7Lx0A/viewform

If you’d like an extension, please request one before the deadline. Does anyone want an extension on either Bonus Round building or Round 11 voting?
 
Can we have an extension? I'm exhausted ATM and Saturday would give me time to do something

This has been so much fun, thanks for all your effort in keeping it running every week @Matt N !

Great submission @cloudburster! Your ride looks like great fun, with some awesome airtime moments and fun inversions!
 
Keeping to my bonus round theme of Sega games that would make excellent rollercoasters (I mean, why has no one ever built a proper Sonic coaster? Madness!), a more obscure game franchise, and even more obscure particular game within it (which is rare and I actually own an original copy of) is the basis for this.

For anyone who doesn't know what NiGHTS is (@DistortAMG will), do a quick YouTube search and you'll soon get the gist of why it lends itself to a B&M flyer.

This is Christmas NiGHTS into Dreams: The Ride. A B&M flyer that runs 3 trains. I wish I could have put the game music into the video but have no idea how to do that.

Next year, Crazy Taxi: The Ride maybe? Hmmm.

Awesome submission @Matt.GC! Your ride is really long and maintains its pace very well throughout, and it also has some fun-looking inversions!

This slapped me in the face with nostalgia. Crazy Taxi! Nights! Saturn! Dreamcast! Thems were the days.

Great submission @RicketyCricket! Your ride has some great custom inversions and some awesome airtime moments, and I like the rockwork interaction. It reminds me a little bit of Iron Rattler at Six Flags Fiesta Texas!

Just as a reminder to everyone else; due to an extension request, the Bonus Round building deadline has been extended by 1 day, to Saturday 9th March 2024 at 11:45pm. As such, you have 1 additional day to submit a Bonus Round submission if you haven’t done so already.

Remember, any votes gained in the Bonus Round are worth double the points they were worth in earlier rounds, so it really is all to play for!

Great round, everybody!

As the Bonus Round building deadline has been extended for an additional day, to Saturday 9th March 2024 at 11:45pm, the release of Bonus Round voting will also be delayed by a day, to Sunday 10th March 2024 at 12am. As such, I cannot discuss that just yet.

As we have now done all of the rounds, there is also no building stage for me to reveal this week... so that brings this very short Week 13 Weekly Digest to a rapid close!

Enjoy the last week of the contest, everybody! As said above, Bonus Round voting will drop tomorrow, so keep your eyes peeled for that!
