2006 NL Tournament (Round 1) - RESULTS pg 58

Question has already been answered, they have to stay! You may cover them with 3ds.

can we at least get rid of the X supports and keep the box there as long as our station is inside the box?

why do you want to get rid of them?

You can delete the "X" if you absolutely have to (I do know which box the station goes in, and the cross beams are only a marker in this case), but you cannot so much as TOUCH the boundaries or the road marking lines. I have to know where the EXACT boundaries are, because deciding if the track stays in or not is a very precise process.

My track is posted!!!

Superman!!!

My favorite part of the ride is the Jr. Zero G Roll, and the vertical S-bend.

^That sign looks pretty low... trucks would smack right into it.

^cjd, you still haven't aswerd my question on top of this page....

That's okay. Palm tree limbs hanging over the road wouldn't damage the tuucks or the trees, so I'm all right with it.

I take it that applies to all the other tree types aswell?

No. The palms are only allowed because they hardly intrude at all, and all the branches are up high. I will count a giant maple or fir tree with about 10 feet of branches sticking into the road as a collision. Unless the tree is non-intrusive, like the palm, leave it out.

Am i allowed to rate other tracks in the contest?

[hyyyper]

why not?

cjd is the one rating the coaster and they can't get a medal either

sorry hyper, i can get rid of the road sign if u think it copies yours too much. i just thought it was a great idea.

Some people say my coaster was closer then 20 feet, but I assure you, it follows the 20 foot rule, and the lift supports were ment to be original and be creative, I know its a steel coaster, but I think this support system gives more head choppers and it would be a hell uv a lot stonger, plus it looks cooler.

There were actually some supports under 20ft, look at it from the side view. You'll see that some of the supports coming from the centre of the road cross over the purple lines before they're more than 20 ft up.

Yeah. WingOver is correct. No offense dude, those lift supports look really bad IMO. BnM's have such simple supports. Why not use them?

Plus they are extremely sturdy. They are great engineers for building a minimal structure with maximum support.

^They're right... there are supports within the 20 ft range. However, it is VERY close. That, and the fact that after further research, I have discovered that the actual maximum height of real trucks is about 15 feet, and I have decided to let it slide... this time. Everyone else, don't push your luck. Dragon Fly barely got away with this, and that does not make it tolerable.

Well Cjd, advise me what to do hear please. At the closest level, the bottom of my track is at 20.01 feet. This happens to be a measure with the Y-points.

We can have track that isnt over the road go below 20, right?

correct.

Well, I wanted to do something more original then the average B&M Lift supports, they are sturdym but they dont provide any head choppers, this way of supports provides lots of head choppers and looks a lot cooler.

it doesnt look cooler, and you didnt have to have them so stretched out. mine are alot simpler than yours and provide the same head chopping affect.

Gotta figure though...what about wide loads and tall loads? lol
