TowersStreet Planet Coaster Speed Build Contest 2024/25: Week 17 ends 14th March

So....I have a reputation to hold up with certain interesting ideas on this open round. Behold NemeGIB Rebound.
We were all caught up on replace or rebuild Nemesis, so why not both at the same time?

Yes this took far too long. Yes I am the worst monster ever to exist.

Hi Matt, would I be able to get an extension for this week? Really hoping to be able to get a bonus round submission in as I haven't been able to participate much recently.

Great submission @Poisson! Nemesis as a Giant Inverted Boomerang is possibly your most unique Bonus Round submission yet, in my view, and I think it works well!

Yes, that’s absolutely fine. I’ll extend until you and @Matt.GC (as he requested an extension earlier) are both able to get submissions in.

Great submission @Thameslink Rail; that gives me flashbacks to the old “Peep Bowling” style videos people filmed on RCT3!

I'll be needing an extension too Have made something but it's a bit silly so will have a final submission by tomorrow evening.

Great round, everybody!

Bonus Round voting is not yet available due to the round having been extended until a few additional participants can get submissions in, and as this is the last week of the contest before the end, there is no new round to build for this week either. As such, I think that just about does it for the Week 17 Weekly Digest!

Keep your eyes peeled for Bonus Round voting, folks!

Wow @RicketyCricket; that's a great submission! Your ride is really long, with some great airtime and inversions and some absolutely huge drops!

For everyone else, I'm thinking I might extend the Bonus Round building deadline up to Friday 14th March 2025 at 11:45pm for both those who have requested an extension and anyone else who may want to submit a submission in this round and then run Bonus Round voting from 15th-21st March, extending things by a further week.

Remember, folks; this is your last chance to shine in this contest, and it's worth double the points of any previous round!

Just as a reminder to everyone; if you’d like to compete in the Bonus Round, you have 2 days left to submit a submission. We’re now over halfway through Week 17; the extended Bonus Round deadline is Friday 14th March 2025 at 11:45pm. If you’d like this to be extended further, please tell me; if you do not ask me for an extension either in this thread or via PM, I will assume that you do not want to compete in this round and move on after the posted deadline.

Remember, folks; this is the final round of the contest, it’s worth double the points of any other round, and it’s the only round where you can quite literally build whatever you want, so I’d strongly encourage you to submit for this round if you haven’t already!
