2006 NL Tournament (Round 1) - RESULTS pg 58

Haha what if we all ended up having the same layout? Its possible, with how small the area is.

Ive gone the weirdest route in the hope that mine stands out more. So i dont think mines going to be like other peoples. Thats what im hoping for anyway.

Well, I started the supports on the lift, and they are looking NICE, not your average B&M supports, they are more cage like.

ive only done the lift and the first drop, its much of a classic B&M based on silver star.

its super smooth, but the area is tricky to work with, its so big.

just a small question, the track cannot go outside the lines but as the trains slightly hang over the track must they also stay within the lines?

Wow your that close to the lines?

Instead of having the lift going straight up north, I might have it go west and then a 135 degree turning drop to the right!

yeah i sorta am, but its needed in my design.

Dargon fly i ahve something similar to that, but dont worry, it WILL be different as theres also some other stuff on my drop, its not just a typical turning drop [:)]

Same here, although if it's parallel to the template it will actually be 117 degrees. Mine starts off with typical entrance to a B&M drop, with a quick heartline twist to one side, and finishes with a EGF style transition into the pullup.

I might, instead of turning to the right, turn to the left, do a sky dive inversion, then a 360 helix turn into the straight!

instead of turning to the right....turning to the right? what's the difference?

^ It was a typo, but if you think about it, even the typo makes sense.

[hyyyper]

^i still don't get what you mean

Okay, if you were to go west from the station area, to the turn that is about 140 degrees to the right, you could go 220 degrees to the left, or 500 degrees to the right instead of a simple turn.

EDIT: Just to be sure, the track cannot go les then 20 feet above the blue mark, but supports can right?

Wingover, my final turn into the break run, as seen on my NLDC, is 117 degrees. I guess thats right than, as we both have it. Out of the track I know, they are all different despite the tight template.

wont happen, mine is too different from other people's ideas...so atelast one track will be unique [:p]

Does your lift go north or west?

west.

Well, I decided the layout, I wont have a west going lift hill, and the vertical S bend for a drop is something I will do, so instead of talking, I will give a NLDC Site baby!!!

West, so I can start out with a nice twisted drop.

Edit: I'll be uploading some screens to the NLDC tomorrow, showing a few of the elements, and the supports and track connectors/footers.

dammit...i just accidentaly messed mine up and now i can't fix it.

Cool Wingover. Can't wait to see some stuff. Do you all want my link? Ive showed all my friends already so who cares?

I would like to see yours Jakizle.

question cjd:

are we allowed to make a 3ds road and put it in the place where the road currently is?

ARG my track is so messed up!! I'm going to start everything over again...
