Thanks for sharing the pics Steven
I've always wanted to see them up close!
Were all the contest entries tall and bulky like the first place winner's?

The rides are GREAT, the shows are GREAT, the fun is GREAT, at Marriott's Great America! REMEMBER Marriott's GREAT AMERICA, REMEMBER Marriott's GREAT AMERICA!
The model coasters have to be built according to specifications that are listed in the contest rules:

The rules put restrictions on the size and height. The rules also favor the inclusion of some elements. For example, more loops bring more points. Winning teams have usually studied the rules in detail and designed the best coaster possible that complies with all the rules. That leads to the higher scores.

^ Yeah, and Stealth's footers are HUGE, BULKY, and UGLY, they are an eyesore while riding Logger's Run. But I guess it's better than taking out a ride under stealth, eh, I'm just being too picky.
I was wondering, when you look at these footers, it does not really look like it was being thrown out since it does not seem like they just ripped them off, or are those actually part of the supports?
