"Coaster War" Contest - RESULTS pg10

[Oscar]

coasterkidmwm is hungry

When did I say "unless you suggest something I like?" I only added CCI because I was planning on it being in the contest in the first place.

[Coasterkidmwm]

Well you f**ked up a great idea and fantastic template by limiting it to the bullpoop that only you like to build instead of making it open ended.

well, what types do you think I should have included?

I'm willing to add stuff since it's still early enough. I can't start adding a bunch of wood coaster types or it would get too confusing, but if it's another NL coaster type that you feel should be represented, sure.

I'll start off by adding Vekoma SLC's, Flying Coasters, Arrow Megaloopers, and Schwarzkoph Loopers. Just give me until tomorrow to find the records and give them a rating, and they'll be there.

I kinda wanted to do an RCCA but since it's not the almighty Gravity Group I can't.

Seriously? The company that made "Son of Beast" and "The Rattler?"

Other note: missed a question back there... so here's the answer:

Also if we can't make 3ds, choose to tunnel under the wheel, and then have a giant land collision because of out lack of 3ds skills will we get points off for it?

No 3ds is needed. Just make a trench under the wheel and then re-support the ferris wheel with NL supports.

No I'm referring to the company that made the Super Sunshine Hello Kitty Go Go Sneaker Pickle Surprise Coaster. You know other companies make rides that run PTCs besides GG and CCI when they were still around. I see no problem with making one at all. I mean it's amazing how you're so opinionated about what is neat to people that you left out a normal B&M sitdown despite one of your pictures including it. hell, maybe someone will want to make a Vekoma spaghetti bowl one day. This shouldn't be mind blowing to you.


Dunce

I will Join! i really enjoyed the B&M one last year!
Edit: Does the coaster have to be x number of feet above ground level (about 80ft) or does it have to be X number of feet above the bottom of the editor (0 foot)? and can you delete trees?

CMI, I'll give it a try.
Q: Can I delete the X-marker by the station? It is going through my track now.

I am in. Also wondering about trees as well.

Also, I think CCI needs to be seperated from GG...CCIs are much smaller than a Voyage-type ride so the records for the CCI should have to beat the other CCIs, not GGs.

Ok, Im in a NL rut so Im gonna join, but im not sure if i will go through with anything. So, sign me up.

Am I correct to say that I just beat 3 records for the Arrow Coaster?

Height: 213 ft [Difficulty: 3]
Drop: 225 ft [Difficulty: 3]
Speed: 80 mph [Difficulty: 3]

something to do while I wait for school to start, dont know if I'll finish one but sign me up

Q: Does the coaster have to be x number of feet above ground level (about 80ft) or does it have to be X number of feet above the bottom of the editor (0 foot)? and can you delete trees?
A1: Height: "How high above the terrain the track's running rails are at a given point" - which means how high above the actual hilly terrain.
A2: Yes.


Q: Can I delete the X-marker by the station? It is going through my track now.
A: Yes. Just don't delete any of the boundaries.


Q: Am I correct to say that I just beat 3 records for the Arrow Coaster?
A: Yes, you are correct. Granted, the shaping looks nothing like an Arrow, but you did break the records.


Coasterkid: Point taken. I'll add "Wood Megacoaster (RCCA or Summers/Dinn)" to the list, as long as we have an understanding that I'm not obligated to give you a good adrenaline score just because you were accurate to the style of some of the most horribly-paced megacoasters in the world. I'm not expecting an air-and-lat fest like on a CCI, but please give it better pacing than "The Rattler" and Terra Mitica's "Colossus".

I'll update the list with that, and a few other coaster types, this afternoon.

what if we like to do stuff that doesn't follow the traditional styles of those types, do we have to build exactly like them? also can we take out the trees outside of the borders without effecting anything? the way I do stuff the trees get in the way

Can this record you need to beat be something like the highest coaster of its kind in the world?

I have this problem now, my track is ofcourse inside the boundaries but it's so close to the boundaries that the tunnel of that track sticks a bit out over the boundary. Is that a problem?

Im in!

So, you claim were in the 90's mindset, but were not stuck with their technology. Does this give way to launches? Ive got something cool in mind.

Awesome contest concept. I'm in [:)]

Vekoma Multilooper! [:)]

A1: You are encouraged to add original elements, but it needs to "fit" with the rest of the coaster and the company's style, if you know what I mean.
A2: Yes, but only if they're in the way. You can add or edit trees to make them more realistic, but aside from that just leave them alone.

Q: I have this problem now, my track is of course inside the boundaries but it's so close to the boundaries that the tunnel of that track sticks a bit out over the boundary. Is that a problem?
A: I only check for track and support restrictions within the editor. So unless one of the blue track lines crosses over the boundaries, you're fine.

Q: Can this record you need to beat be something like the highest coaster of its kind in the world?
A: There is a list of approved height records in the main rules.

Q: So, you claim were in the 90's mindset, but were not stuck with their technology. Does this give way to launches?
A: Absolutely. Feel free to use any kind of launch. They are a bit more expensive, but you can definitely use them.

Are jet coasters allowed?

^Not sure which type that is. Do you mean the Schwarzkopf jet coasters, the jet coasters at a bunch of Japanese theme parks, or jet coasters like "Top Gun" at PGA?

If it's the Schwarzhopf ones, then no, they are not. Those were really compact small coasters, and really don't fit the theme of a coaster war. If it's the second one, I will be making a Steel Looper category later this afternoon, so just use that one. If it's the third, it falls under the B&M inverted coaster umbrella.

Looking at Cool5's previous posts he'll probably mean those Japanese Jet Coaster types from Meisho, etc

I'm in.

question: can an arrow hyper coaster invert and still be classified?
