Mirage Invert Contest - Results p. 14

Nice contest! I'll give it a try, count me in!

My name isn't on the entry list XD, just though I would point that out.

Im in!

I'm building an Inverted Intamin, and could I use Transport LIMs (like on Maverick) on the 'lift'?

I guess I'm going to ask my question again. I know you're busy Jimmy, but I need to know.

Do our MCBRs need to be sloped, or can we use transport wheels for the emergency stops (as long as the transport is slow)?

You probably could do it as long as it doesn't speed up the train, but you'd probably lose points for it.

^^No, it needs to be sloped, they're all sloped so if power fails they can still get the train to the station.

^^^No, that's why you use lifts, you can set those to be lims. And how many Intamin inverts are like Maverick? [;)]

Could the laterals not count if I have an elementary and AHG made heartline roll?, cause that would help.

Is it flat?

Going down at a -15 angle. It was normally (before the AHG) a zero meter heartline. So, after the AHG, the line throughout the roll is about straight.

I'll give an exception for flat rolls I guess because there is no way to avoid those lats.

Yes there is! I have a flat heartline roll that only pulls 1.1 baby! You better change that rule Jimmy ;).(Yes, the roll is taken fast mid-ride.)

Bravo! Bravo! Good to see that GFA's classical contest-thread template has in fact survived. I was getting worried after gazag and hyyyper didn't use it.

This is my entry. Don't worry, if JY keeps the rule about laterals, everything will be fine here.

Note: The trackstyle in the first pic was an Intamin Inverter, but now it is an B&M Inverter, and I have not taken a screenshot yet.

and where would i have found that one?

Any of cjd's contests.

i assume cobra roll is 2 inversions right?

^Yes...

The flat roll rule I personally don't like. Don't excede 1.2 means don't excede 1.2. If you've got a flat roll that excedes, then take it out!
But that's just my thought process.

Why wouldn't you, one inversion in the first half loop, then back to level, then another inversion in the second one. It's one element, but two inversions.

are we allowed to build in the station area with the X, or is that reserved only for the station?

No you can build in that area. Ideally your station shouldn't be nearly that long, unless you have a crazy long train.

Lol you wusses. If you make a barrel roll the RIGHT way it'll have 1.0 lateral G's, which is under the limit.

Holy peeeep I nearly missed out on this one. Count me in!

No wonder, it's like 50 meters long!

Are Trim brakes allowed?
