Waterslide Competition Judging



In celebration of Water Park Month, VMK held another ride building competition, this time with a Waterslide theme. Registration was limited to the first 200 properly registered teams. The team leader or "Lifeguard" was responsible for getting their team registered via Contact Us. Registration began on Monday, 10 July 2006 and was scheduled to go until 16 July 2006 or until all spots were taken. Frequently asked questions were addressed in the Newsletter 25 July 2006. Judging was to be from the 4th to the 6th of August. Winners and prizes were announced in the Newsletter 8 August 2006 along with a few honorable mentions. Despite the previously stated categories of "Best Use of Color", "Most Creative", and "Best Overall Ride Experience", initially VMK did not announce any winners for "Most Creative". Instead, a new category, "Best Theme", was used in its place. In the Newsletter 9 August 2006 this mistake was fixed and the winners of "Most Creative" were announced in addition to the previously mentioned winners.

"Quest Days of Summer" Theme Announced

dabaseballking ’s Invisible pin is 5* - Spooky!
THat Waterslide Competition lead to my huge mistake.
One day I was talking to a friend, in my waterslide room, part of a bigger team. He went AFK and i stayed on VMK while I went out [ afk ], and the room was unlocked. Over 60 people were in queue, the ride was called the big drop! slide! o_______o and i guess noobs wanted to experience its unfinished awesomeness, when i returned, taco bell fresh in the bag, i saw that. i hooked up a teleporter and whisked them away into an empty guest room of mine, pointed at the exit. then ppl got mad at me, LOL
