Here are the rooms for my raceway. This event has been confirmed as the weekend event (12th april) to gain a badge. Anything can change but hopefully Powertoo keeps her word :) Also note this is a 100% live event like Habbo UK raceway. (http://www.habbo.com/groups/raceway for more info)
Here is a view of the rooms which you will be racing in. Comment on the rooms please so I know what to improve on for next time.
Base: Basically a room to find out how to enter the event and the rules.

1) some furniture is missing and will be bought tomorrow night
2) Notice the odd 1 out LOL?
That actually seems really well designed. She also confirmed my game for this weekend (like you said i hope she keeps her word). "got game double trouble" she said would be the name and she seemed pretty excited about it lol, just hope she go through with it.

Seems as if a lot of work was put into these rooms, good job. Best of luck with it. :)

Thank you. There was also help from Nellies and Munkeyz - should have mentioned that... they are hosting too!

Oh very nice, it's great to have support from others. From what I re-call from previous designs, Nellies is a great designer too. :)
It's clear that you've put a lot of time into creating these rooms but I don't think they're right for the purpose they're supposed to serve. They're FAR too large and look like they'd take about 10-20 mins each for somebody that hasn't experienced them before to complete when in the room alone, let alone with others blocking the path and such.
How many users will be racing against eachother at a time?
I would ask where you've put the shortcuts but even after experiencing both of the previous raceways on numerous accounts I don't think I'd have the patience for this! :P

Ahem, who sold you and Munkeyz; loads of furni for it, I even gave you a free Hay Bale ;).
It looks really good and different to the more recent events, nice work Will :P.

Well the last raceway rooms were designed like this, well all my entries and james's were anyway and they got chose so :P
There also IS a few shortcuts... only in 1 room tho because I'm not a huge fan of them!
Also they are SUPER EASY it takes average 1m per room except last just a bit longer and first about 30seconds LOL
I also remember you begging me and James to let you win races in s2 :P

Thanks sam, that hay bale made all the difference!
Also to note, rooms aren't laggy at all for me and I have terrible internet and laptop. It lags only when entering to load the furni.

nice rooms will :p
still think 5mins is too short of a window to complete, considering all are v9 rooms and one room you have to find the correct tele to advance, which alone could take 5mins. nice rooms though :)

Well that's simply not true. The previous raceway rooms were designed in normal-sized V9 rooms, not these new supersized ones. You'll notice my time estimate was for people who hadn't experienced them before - which is what you're going to have when the event opens to the public. 1-2 minutes for the creators who know the exact route, perhaps, but not for a bacon that just created her habbo and is only joining in with your event in hope of finding a rich hc boyfriend.
I don't recall asking anybody for help during season 2... in fact, the only room I couldn't actually complete was the final one with all the flames and that was only because I was struggling to see any of the room through the dark red mood light - a problem I suspect might crop up within these rooms, too.
I'm not deliberately trying to bash your rooms! I really like the them, I just think you've prioritized the design aspect over their usability a little bit. But hey, that's just from viewing print screens of empty rooms so time will only tell whether it'll work out for you or not.
You didn't answer my previous question btw, how many people will be racing at one time?

@kyle Oh sorry, just the same as before 4 people will be racing at a time.
Also the average time is around 1 minute being tested by whoever didn't make the room who only provided the furni. Yeah the room size is bigger but it's the same idea. I was going to do basic rooms but I started in big then just carried on because it was more interesting adding more things to do.
Congratulations to you guys getting your rooms feature, both really deserve it, great rooms!

Thanks, everybody loves a good challenge. Don't want people competing like it's another poll badge or maze :/
They look good but they look like they'll be really hard and time consuming.
I really like all the rooms, especially the second, I really like the river bit, it's really cute with the stones near the side of it. I also like the room you've made with the instructions, you picked good badges that look appropriate for the theme itself. Best of luck with your event. ^_^

Thanks, yeah I wanted the base to represent the history of the raceway. I got all the previous badges from dear friends.
Thanks Nellies SuperChips and Plebings :)
excellent job will this was one of my fave events on UK and can't wait to see it return :D

Thanks @pass I know how much you loved the old ones! Not as much as me tho! :P Hope to do the old 1 proud as it was pretty amazing loved it so much. My favourite event probably.
@kiekiekoala Thanks there isn't that much shortcuts but there is a few :P
update: Going to use the timer as a guide. After 5 minutes I will see how people are doing but they don't get kicked if still active. I think this is a good thing and will encourage people to go quicker. Also means I can kick people who have fallen and decide to be trolls.

Same, the way you said it in stickies made it sound like so so complicated.. xD
Have you considered turning the mood light off and making it a little easier so that's it's... y'know... actually possible for a layman that hasn't experienced such a race before.

Well everybody that has raced is doing fine so far, have all got to room 3 at least (except 2 people who quit)

doing fine yet nobody has won
Why are you locking your room so soon, 1 minute after it's scheduled to open? Surely you get a room spectate so can let a few more play!

Because that way, the people who got in all get a go (and that takes ~1 hour). Then it opens at the next scheduled time.

I lock it whenever it's full, some leave depends. There is no spectate so yeah.
Also does it matter if anybody has won?

Narnat,; thank you!
Skandair; I think the moodlight makes the rooms more realistic and gives them extra value to the theme they are set out to be.
