This ride had many inspirations, but mainly I wanted to create a coaster Arrow might have made if they were still around today. My main focus was layout; with several signature elements like a steep wraparound corkscrew, interlocking loops, and nested cutbacks. Another goal I has in mid was to create a ride which had increasing pace as it progressed, and in that I think I succeeded, as the frequency and intensity of elements only increases as the ride nears the brakes. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy my entry!

Layout wise this thing was near on perfect in my opinion. The pacing was fantastic and the element composition was really good and flowed really well. If it wasn't such so compact I could definately see this kind of layout being designed in real life. I felt the entire track had a real arrow likeness to it, whilst maintaining some more modern staples of rollercoaster design. So congrats on that, I think you did really well.
The trackwork was a little shaky in places - the helix had some pumping within it which deserved to be ironed out (if there's one thing arrow could do it's bend a consistant curve!). The other complaints perhaps revolve around buildability and viability as a ride. No transfer track and the brake run was really short (hello wet weather overruns). I think you could've extended out from the prelift a little further and tucked the transfer track underneath the station (winch operated perhaps).
Overall really cool ride, certainly going into my favourites folder.
The trackwork is really well made while still feeling like an Arrow coaster. The cutbacks are included quite well and the supporting is wonderfully done to give loads of headchoppers. You really did capture the feeling of a Drachen Fire-esque coaster. I can't wait to see the final product when the competition finishes.
This is a uhmmm rather unique track. I don't like Corkscrew tracks. They are quite painful irl so adrenaline gets docked there. You showed good technique in laying it all out and as a spaghetti bowl of sorts, this is quite realistic. Rider value is good, I'd be happy paying to ride this ride However, I don't see myself riding it multiple times based on the fact that it is a Corkscrew. Great job on supports! I'll take Olmisery's word on it passing the clearance test.
