"Coaster War" Contest - RESULTS pg10

Woo since I'm done with one ride already I'm gunna make another!

Can I see a picture of it for the contest?

Dammit... I'm now on attempt 13. haha

^^^^ cjd, yes I have Track Packager. The template has gotta be somewhere in my PC. I'll let you know if I have any problems sometime this afternoon, around 2pm Pacific Time.

Highest inversions @ arrow/vekoma multipooer, is that height from top to bottem of the element or do have a record breaker if i build a loop 50 meters from the ground??

Q:Highest inversions @ arrow/vekoma multipooer, is that height from top to bottem of the element or do have a record breaker if i build a loop 50 meters from the ground??
A: It means the height from the ground measured up, so yes, you would.

Found the template, cjd. In my Admin/Documents of all places. I'm in for sure.

Jakizle's ride really needs a better non going through the land tunnel and major custom wide supports for better realism.

Let's say I make a tunnel under the ferris wheel. If I make a .3ds terrain to overlay and hide the extra terrain I didn't want moved, would I be judged on the terrain that was moved anyway?

Thats a nice thing to say in the thread. [stupid]

A: No. If you make terrain out of 3ds, it still counts as normal terrain. The tunnel will cost money, but not replacing standard terrain with 3ds terrain.

Please leave your opinions to yourself and let me judge my own contest.

How much does a bolt cost and welding?

Bolt: $1.99 at the Home Depot
Professional welding kit: $700
Semester of welding classes: $2600
Building a roller coaster with your welding skills: priceless.

ZOMG i'm finished. So sad that Arrow supports are the basic 'Single Support' supports. Now I'm already finished.

^Yeah, except Arrow only does it within about 50 ft of the ground...

And actually, they have done wide supports before. Watch a POV of "Titan" at Space World if you don't believe me.

(Just telling you this so that you don't get docked for something stupid like that...)

I think I went over my budget [:(]

I'm in, we'll see if this gives me a reason to build something.

Does anyone know what heartline is needed for an X-car?

1.3

Thanks.

What it, the woodie-ish supports or the big steel poles?
And wide supports don't really fit.

Supports and footers can cross the red boundaries (unused park land), but must not cross the blue boundaries (not owned by park.)

What about supports that are in mid air? Since I see the ferris wheel also floating over the blue boarder...

^lol, I wondered how long it would take before someone noticed that...

Given the circumstances, yes, I'll say that it's okay. Just make sure that the track, the footers, and any other supports touching the ground, stay in-bounds.

Another question:
Can we use Catwalks as 3ds terrain replacement?

Sure, as long as you let me know in some way that that was your intent. (either make it known in the ride description, or color the catwalks the same as the surrounding terrain.)
