My ride consists of nothing but barrel rolls.

I think that is no longer considered a vertical loop after doing that...

Edit: How will 3Ds add to a score? I have never attempted them before but if it gives a large advantage i might consider them.
Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

Putting a lot of 3ds into the ride won't automatically up your score.
Your ride is scored, and if the 3ds add to technical aspects or adrenaline, the score will be higher.
Some examples are making some supports or track profile out of 3ds. Or adding 3ds tunnels or other effects that boost the adrenaline. Be creative and I'm sure you'll find other uses for 3ds.

You aren't supposed to post pics of your ride so that judging can stay anonymous, stupid!

Hyyyper, you said we could remove trees, what about adding them?
Im wondering, cause I deleted all the trees so I could build, but I wanna add them back later.

I assume tree addition is allowed? I don't think I saw that stated explicitly in the rules, but I assume it's OK if you're allowing 3DS.


Tree addition is allowed.

@Hyyyper:
Yeah, but I wanted to put trees where I wanted them.

@Dirk:
I only looked at the Faq on the main page.

Um...oh...kay. I feel like my avatar for not knowing that. I didn't delete a lot of trees just down the center.

I'm at the MCBR and looking good, I think.

Remember to have fun building!

Erm... Last time I checked, the letter L has a set of perpendicular lines that form at a 90 degree angle. The number 7 has more of a slant [lol]

And the first and last part of the sentence are critical details needed for proper interpretation....

What are the rules regarding transport track? For example if you want to add the friction wheels which you typically see before a B&M lift hill?
