Water Park Apprentice: Challenge 1, Create a themed boat ride

June 20, 2010, 7:00 PM · Following the Discussion Board's "Theme Park Apprentice" game, we've got another attraction design contest going - "Water Park Apprentice." Same rules apply: The contestants submit their ideas for a specific challenge, then you vote for your favorite. Since we are starting with 14 contestants this time, the two contestants who gets the fewest votes will be "fired," i.e. eliminated from the competition.

So let's get to it: Read the Challenge 1 thread: To create a themed boat ride, then vote for your favorite contestant below:

I love the Peanuts holiday specials and that building at CP is in dire need of an overhaul. It was outdated when I went there as a kid, more than 35 years ago.

I Respond: Strange. My name is also Tim as and yet I am totally okay with the results. Who'd have guessed?

June 21, 2010 at 7:04 PM · TH, Oh well i certainly don't mean the top, the guys who got top deserved it, especially you who did a great job. But some of the people who are near the bottom, i think should have gotten a few more votes. I'm very surprised Nick and Anthony are towards the bottom. I really enjoyed their ideas as well. However, it is early in the competition and there aren't that many votes to go around. It also looks like I will be deciding this first round as we have a four contestants currently with 2 percent each.

Anyway, its a suprise that we are near the bottom. We will see! It looks right now we should be fine!

Seriously though, I love everybody's idea!
