Why revived the page

I decide to revive the article, because our Wiiki is a kind of encyclopedia and the track is available and download is possible. And the the page contains only objective informations.

Wiimm decided to revive the Heart of China page with obvious reason, but there wasn't no download link yet. The main reason why Wiimm revived it is because Heart of China already exists in some Custom Track Distributions. However, there's no official download link of Heart of China yet.
The author understood why Wiimm revived it, and added an official download link. It directly links to a page where you can download either the CTT pack v1.2 or just the custom track itself.

About download links

A little brain storming:
  1. The CTT contains the track and the author gave the permission.
  2. There is no licence of CTT that forbid the usage of CTT in any way.
  3. I'm able to extract HOC.
  4. I'm able to re-upload the track without breaking any rules.
So why not provide a download link.

Good arguments -- Wiimm (talk) 16:39, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

About the difficulty

I have played the track over weeks many times. It is very interesting to discover all rooms and gaps. But it isn't a good racing track because you hot the wall at many places and some the cannons throw you against walls. So it is impossible to drive a lap without accident. But it is very good artwork.

The word artwork is a very positive rating of me. It's great to find out all. -- Hanno, 16:53, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
Hmm... That's actually weird. I've tested with all vehicles, on every cc engine. And the only cannon which is not possible to take, is the red springboard cannon in the tunnel (next to the big yellow building) on 50cc when you're hit by lightning. The green one however, only has an issue with the Bullet Bill, yet the Bullet Bill is supposed to fly over the whole first floor... For now, the green springboard cannon is possible with every combination on every cc engine for me though, are you sure that you were flying against the whole when jumping on the green springboard?? @Wiimm It took me a little while to get used to every vehicle to test out Heart of China though. -- Wingcapman, 17:08, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
It's very different, if an author tests the track by its own. This is the same problem of all software. Final tests must always be done by people, that are not tested the software before. So don't be worry about the differences in mine and yours rating.
And I said it before: I like the track, but more as artwork than as a racing track.
