Here is the first section of my coaster for the microcoaster contest. Hehe.

It is inspired by Italian Job at KI.

I hope I can get it done in 3 days. :P

Wisdom coasters probably pull more than that.

Yes, but they're meant to pull that many. A premier ride should definitely not pull anywhere near that much...

I'm here to clear up the discussion of lateral Gs.

1.3 Gs is FINE. I stated in the rules that lats can reach 1.5 Gs with no score deduction.

Not only that, but I don't care what a premier ride pulls, and this element looks INCREDIBLE.

Yeah, that element looks pretty pwnsome. I've done some similar style stuff before, but never has it looked quite a sexual as that!

I'm not talking about his score in the contest getting deducted, I'm talking about non-contest members who might happen to rate his ride. I definitely know that I would take off a point or so for 1.3 Gs on a leadin to a turn, especially because it's not really that hard to fix.

So? That doesn't mean other people won't rate it.

Damn you anal rating bastards. Yes, other people will rate it. It may suffer point deductions because of that. Maybe disaster doesn't care about it, since it's a contest track. Not everyone can put in a perfected track with a limited time frame.

Personally, I don't upload tracks for the hopes of a high score. I upload them to share with fellow enthusiasts, if they rate, cool, if they don't, oh well. I'm just not that nerdy.
