To the Staff from the Lifeguard:
What a great team we've got for this competition! You guys are so creative! Thank you for your interest in this team. Whether we win or lose, this will still be the best team that was ever organized. Once again, thanks for volunteering your time (and credits). We'll have a great time! ~Oranges

Our Goals:
To win this competition, detail is the key. Let's strive to put in a lot of effort into making a great ride! Really fill your room with exciting things to look at. NEVER leave a rider bored. Give them lots to feast their eyes on. In fact, put in some much scenery that they won't even have time to look at all. Palm Trees and crates (anything in bulk, really) make great items for riders to go "WOW" at!

~TEAM INFORMATION~
If you need to add something to the News section, please post it along with exact time and date. Thanks!

Registration is tomorrow. I think we've got everything straightened out to properly apply. Thanks for being so prompt about giving me all your information! Here's a draft of the Registration Form. If something is wrong, please Private Message me as soon as possible! I need correction by tomorrow!

Water Slide Competition Details

The Build Your Own Waterslide competition is coming to VMK! This will be a team-based room competition where Players form a Pool Patrol and build their own versions of a giant water slide.

Each team is to have one Lifeguard as the team leader whose role is to coordinate the team and register the team for the competition.

Here are the rules:

• Each Pool Patrol is to consist of no less than 6 and no more than 20 members.
• The ride may not exceed 30 rooms in length.
• Players may only be on one Pool Patrol team.
• Each member of the Pool Patrol must contribute at least one room to the ride.
• The Lifeguard must be the owner of the Shallow End room, where the team's ride begins.
• Waterslides will be judged on color, creativity, and overall ride experience.

You must choose a name for your Pool Patrol. Choose carefully, it must be allowable in VMK and must fit into the room name, preceded by Shallow End (example: Shallow End Dumbo). No "dictionary dances" are permitted in any Pool Patrol room names (example: Shallow End Dumbo To is not allowed).

Registration will be open Monday July 10 through Sunday July 16. Only the first 200 Teams that have properly registered will be accepted. The Lifeguard will provide the names of all Pool Patrol members as well as the names of all rooms in the Pool Patrol's slide. Late entries will not be accepted.

Once a team's registration has been submitted no changes may be made to team name or team membership. Only registered teams will be judged.

Judging will take place between the following times:
Friday August 4, 2:30 - 8:30pm (Pacific)
Saturday August 5, 8:30am - 7:30pm (Pacific)
Sunday August 6, 8:30am - 7:30pm (Pacific)

Please try to keep your ride open during the event so that others can enjoy what you and your team have created.

Begin planning your water adventure!

The Typhoon Lagoon Guest Room is now available!


You can get the Typhoon Lagoon Room by completing the Typhoon Lagoon Quest - available in VMK now. Get it while it's still here!

~TEAM SUGGESTIONS~

Costume Ideas

• CarrieWannaBe's Rainbow Costume
• auroraroseb's Costume Idea
• RubyRubia's Costume Idea
• Kancy's Costume Idea

[Dudejoejoe]

I agree that we need a sumit plumit. I still like my idea of a costume. I may be i little ugly but hey i mean the judges aren't judging us by the costumes we where I'm going to do a little research on Blizzard Beach for room and ride ideas!

[ariellover4life]

i like the i idea of the big drop and i think the rainbow idea is awesome!

[PrincessKala]

Okay Here is my idea for costumes..

• Make Rainbow costumes
• Have them All Different Colors
• Have Them Maybe Have them same outfit just different colors

I'll try to post pictures but it's going to take a lot of work to post them, since their all different. lol So TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK! ~Carrie

Now for the Room idea, thegoof Metioned:I think we should use props to show the melting of the snow. Like start with snow filled room>mixed snow/no snow>completely snow filled room. Along the way there would be bumps and hills and turns.

I TOTALLY AGREE!it goes perfectly with the idea and it's awesoem! would could also add the Summit Plumitt idea in it too.I love Both Ideas! What do you think team and oranges?

~Carrie

[RubyRubia]

I love the Summit Plummit idea! It really adds a thrill theme to the slide. My ideas are maybe to start off light then some more thrilling drops and hills.

Ru Ru

[Exoxus]

So we should use Typhoon Lagoon rooms because its Mount Gushmore at the plummit and summit. But mostly Blizzard Beach thoguh for the other rooms.

So.. I guess the story is roughly this:

Starting Room > Snow-Filled > Less Snow > No Snow > Water > Another Water Room (More Water) > Little More Snow > Snow Fillled > Summit > Plummit > Ending Room

I could care less about the costume. lol

[RubyRubia]

I have a question.. are you part of the team if you're on the if list?

Yes i love this idea! It goes perfectly with the idea, Mount Gushmore! I love it! I think we should use it but others may have different ideas. ~Carrie

[Exoxus]

I can do the Water Room, and the Another Water Filled Room.

Heres my idea for my rooms again:

Ill get two rooms that are identical, so it can confuse riders more. Like they enter a teleporter, and end up in the same room, but going backwards on the same track. I think that would be a cool effect.

[Kancy]

I love the changing snow effect, but i never got any snow The ice would be like the most perfect thing for this though: you can stack it and make an excelent mountain!

Just thought of another idea. For those who dont know much about summit plummit, it is a ski jump that melted through so you go practacly straight down. The 2 identical rooms could be something like you go off the ski jump, but you dont make it so you go through a teleporter to another (identical room) go backwards, then drop almost straight down. But that probably didnt make sense.

[PrincessKala]

Okay for that Siggie, Come to my room and I'll take a pic of you and post it, if your not on the siggie okay, Just search AwesomSarah
Please come now so that i can come and get more ride peices so please come ASAP! thanks ~Carrie

This is where I'll post the pictures of the team:

Are we confusing Mount Mayday with Mount Gushmore? Mayday is Typhoon Lagoon. Gushmore is Blizzard Beach.

I love the story idea. When I submit registry, I may need to send in some background information so Staff know what's going on when they ride it.

Ice and snow will be CRUCIAL, especially when it comes to BUILDING Mount Gushmore. I'll make an isometric view of how Gushmore should look. It would be nice if we could build the "plummet" going through the middle of the mountain or so. What do you think?

[RubyRubia]

Oranges, are you considered part of the team if you're on the if list? Because I'm on it..

Ru Ru

[Exoxus]

Haha, I never been to DLR or WDW or wherever so I just guessed cause the Typhoon Lagoon room looked like a mountain.
