Oh, by the way, I'm out, I just can't fit my low Goliath inspired floater hills into the space and can't find any other motivation.

I'm dropping out. I don't think my coaster has enough elements to make it exciting enough.

Well then now my coaster has the world's highest inversion at more than 240 feet tall. makes one wonder how tall the coaster itself is...I can always change it to a ripriderocket loop, but then again i would have to delete, recreate, re-optimize and re-flange the last month's support work...

For those of us that have dropped out, anybody interested in a theme contest? Or perhaps a coaster building contest with realistic boundaries?

Was there a g-force restriction for the second time? With trim my coaster cannot peak the first immelmann and without trim the first turn pulls 5.7 gs. i tried putting the turn higher but then the supports would go OB

I don't think there was a limit on g forces. How long does the rider experience +5.7?

0.1 seconds, the turn is around four seconds but stays around 4-5 gs until that point. I dont think its track pump since I spent the most time smoothing it out and evening the diameter

That's a good thing. If he releases in before you, you get to see what your competition is like. That gives you time to make your coaster better than his.

Then itll be pretty bad competition since my coaster is still crap compared to the other coasters posted last week

That's pretty sad. If your coaster can't beat the coasters uploaded last week, you should revamp your entire coaster. Or find some testers or recruit some help or something.

It probably won't help your score.

How should the coaster be named? like "RowerCoater[3rdGenerationIntaminContest]"? That name is a little long. or do we just have to put the link in the forum?

You could probably shorten the contest title to something like [3GenIntamin]
