Hey everyone! The OpenRCT2 developers and contributors have blessed us with new track elements for the Go Karts! The Go Karts have also been given defined behaviour for diagonal track elements, so they no longer teleport through those. I want to give everyone a chance to play with these new track elements, so for this contest you will have to build a Go Kart track! You can either build it with the track visible, or you can make the track invisible. It's up to you!

At the bottom of this page you can find links to previous Go Kart contests that we did!

Rules

You are allowed to make teams of up to two people in this round!

Rule 1: You have to build a Go Kart ride somewhere in the map. The ride must be in Race Mode. You are allowed to change the track type or to make it invisible.
Rule 2: You must use one of the Go Kart vehicles from RCT1, RCT2 or their official expansions on the Go Kart ride.
Rule 3: The deadline for this contest will be on the 27th of May at 19:00 CEST!
Rule 4: For this contest, you are only allowed to use objects from the RCT1 and RCT2 base game and their official expansions, OpenRCT2-official objects, and custom objects that are included in the DKSO v2.5 bench. Custom objects that are not in the DKSO v2.5 bench are not allowed, so make sure you don't use those. You are also allowed to use a custom palette if you want.
Rule 5: The maximum map size for this round is 2000 tiles. This number will be calculated by multiplying the size of the map edges. You could for example make a map that is 40 x 50 tiles, or 44 x 45 tiles.
Rule 6: There is no limit to the amount of opened rides you can have in the park.
Rule 7: Have fun!

How to join

Step 1: Join my Discord server. Discord is completely free!
Step 2: Build your map and decorate it!
Step 3: When you are done with your contest entry, go on Discord, and send the save file to me in a Private Message. For the name of the save file, I want you to simply use the name that you use on Discord. For example, if your discord name is Deurklink, for the save file name, use Deurklink.park. After you have sent the save file to me, I will look if it follows the rules, and I will check for anything you can still improve. You can resubmit your entry until the deadline of the round, even if I have already accepted it. Please deselect all unused custom objects before sending in the save file!
Step 4: Submit a story for others to read in the voting poll! You can do this by writing your story in a Private Message to Deurklink on Discord!

After the deadline has passed, I will put up a voting poll with all the entries. In this voting poll, everyone who is a member on my Discord, including you, will be able to rate all the other entries, and leave a short review.

When the voting period is over I will announce the results in a Youtube video!

Good luck, and have fun!
