Lol, forgot about the area restriction. I will take the point reduction though ;-)

It's up to you. My "entry" is not exactly going to be a lightweight but it's all in good fun anyway so I don't think it hurts to put something out there. I just really got into this in the last few days that's why I'm entering it.

I'm in. I have an idea I'd like to fulfill, and incidently it fits the area restriction - narrowly.
Layout is complete, and it's pulling some 4.5G
Let's see if I can pull another Eridan-like effort and do it in only a few days.

That's alright. This comp is turning out to be a last ditch effort kind of thing. Hope you can be back for the next comp...hosted by...anyone want to take up the torch? I am willing to I suppose.

Well, remember I proposed to hold one after CP10. That was before Josh came up with this cool idea

Haha! Ah yes, I recall that now. You have the floor next then portemine
My Submission
Was meant to be themed A Nightmare Before Christmas but the layout never echoed any of the film. It would have just been a coaster themed around the ride which I thought was wrong and a waste of time. I thought the Layout and Theming should go hand-in-hand. To a make a sort of strange Narrative-Driven layout.
The bare minimum I needed was for the layout to split into two sections, the First being Halloween Town and the Second being Christmas Town and perhaps a third being the climax where the two combine into a horrific nightmare. This was too ambitious for me so I gave up. I also got depressed doing custom supports so they're half-done.
Station
The 'scw55 drop'. A lifthill into a Zero-G Roll and then a drop
Second bit of the tapering first drop
Half Over-Banked Turn -> Barrel Roll -> Half Large Vertical Loop (maintaining the direction of rotation)
Barrel Roll in a Ditch. Dangerously Close to the ground. Nemesis inspiration. Potentially dangerous levels of +Gs
Ariel view of Half Over-Banked Turn -> Full Barrel Roll-> Over-Banker Turn in the other direction [maintaining direction of rotation])
Bow-Tie Inversion Parallel to a Cobra Roll
Zero G-Roll over itself. I like the sort of appearance of the train jumping over. I guess what I try to achieve with my layouts is the impression of flight
Double Corkscrew that coils on a separate Corkscrew from earlier, giving the illusion of a tripple Corkscrew in succession at first glance
Overviews
Sadly I cannot post PoV of this as it takes ages to record them. As this ride is 15s+ long then I will never do one in till I buy a Desktop Computer.

Alright, so I'm still entering but the theming is highly extensive. I will do my best to get it in in the next few days if I can power through, but this somehow became my most complicated project yet...or at least very close.

Yeah, I'm still working Josh. Like I said, it will be outside the size restriction...but it will definitely be worth the wait if you are okay with it. Sadly I am still on theming and haven't even started support work...but then again that shouldn't be difficult at all.
And yeah, Colossus, this thing is more complex...not so much in story as in shear content. Glad to hear you will be back soon!

I welcome your extra-extra time Josh. I think we've all been so busy with our irl projects so this delay is not unjustified.
It looks like another interestingly close battle is emerging. My coaster will be inside the size restriction, so I may have a little head start. Curiously, I've taken the complete opposite of your path, my supports are almost done, while theming is almost non-existent.
And I'm also using a damn special element...

Actually I'm realizing most of my attraction does fit within the 30x50 plot. Shame it's too far along to fix that issue...although I like this how it is so at least it will be a good personal project.
