Compact B&M Hyper - Results Page 7 Bottom

Where in the world did a trip get involved in this topic?

The very first post, lol.

Lol @devilsrule911, the first prize is a spot on the trip to al the parks that Tetsu planned.

I think the restrictions are too tight. There's been 3 entries, and 1 has been disqualified for some stupid thing about supports. There's only so much you can do in such a small area. If it was a different type of coaster, such as a twister or something, then things would be different (cos you can pull up vertically). But in this template, you're restricted and can't get as much airtime. I reckon if the coaster was allowed to have 5 or 6 bench trains, then better coasters could be made.

I knew that...

Very difficult challenge. If I can do it, anyone here can too. The support issue was very tricky, but I asked questions, earlier here in the post that vaguely point out where they can't go. Very hard to get air time, yes. I only got 2 spots of airtime and 1 is going into the MCBR.

Go check out my entry(if you feel like(sorry the advertisement)), called Tetsu - The Experiment of Fear. Simple, to the point with minimal thrill.

I think Tetsu made the template highly difficult on purpose, since the prize is pretty dang awesome. Free RV, free park entry, buy a plane ticket and bring cash only, to me is f*&^ing cool. If the winner can't make it, at least you get some points, right?

Looks like 2 more entries, if dirk can finish in time.

The template was based on the footprint of a plot of land that was open for expansion. It was meant to be compact and it was meant to be a different type of challenge.

Also, if blatant disregard for the rules is stupid, what isnt?

Trackwork and supports complete. Should be ready tomorrow night

^Can't wait to check it out and I wish you good luck.

^ i don't think luck is really a factor, based on the quality of all his other tracks. the only way anyone else can win is if his computor crashes at the last second. i can't wait to see the track.

^ You got that right slosprint. I just don't understand how his coasters come out so good.

[slosprint]

i at least hope his entry is over 200 ft. i still want to see somebody succeed in pulling that off.

lol...It's not over 200', so don't get your hopes up. I did try taller, but realized that increasing height also increased the size of the elements substantially, meaning a less dynamic track with fewer elements. I went somewhere in the middle of A113's track and huge, and I think it worked out pretty well. It was a pretty tight template, but I'd say I did my best with what we had to work with, so I'm happy with that.

But hey, we all had the same template...everyone has a fair chance of winning, so enter your work guys. I like competition

[slosprint]

i'm not conna enter mine because its a 200 ft piece of crap with trim brakes all the way down

ill have mine up but its ehh. about 170ft tall

Big Bad Wolf had trim brakes on the biggest drop, and everyone enjoyed that for its other qualities. Just saying.

[slosprint]

when i mean all the way down i mean all the way down. it comes out of it at 35 mph lol

Talk about a short pullout.

[Dirk_Ermen]

I have a ride that is a little over 200ft. The only problem i'm facing is the supporting issue. Soo many track in that box. I doubt i'll get it finished in before the new year...

Here are 2 editor screens in case people care:




And those screens are still in a state of not smoothed...

[slosprint]

^ how in the heck are you going to support that?!?!
