I'm from Pataskala, near Columbus, and I my school participated at the competition. We undoubtedly worked very hard on our coasters, but PKI is not to be taken seriously when they say they will consider our designs. They're never really that innovative, as far as world-class standards go. My team didn't win anything, so I was bummed because we worked really hard. I designed the coaster, and the track featured a large, almost vertical drop, then a tight right banked 180 degree turn into a loop, followed by a giant half-loop/left corkscrew back through the loop, then two helixes down into a series of banked, weaving turns back to the station.
