Then fill out the form below, thinking carefully about your answers! You’ll also need to upload a photo / copy / video of your design.  
 

John Burton’s advice:  

“Design a ride that would be YOUR dream rollercoaster, think about all the senses from the sounds, the smells and what it looks like. Does it have a key piece of theming like Wicker Man, is it indoors, or outdoors, does it include water? How do you want people to feel? And finally make sure you give it a strong name that you feel captures the essence of the attraction!”
