-Like Flies on Sh*t-
A section of the park has been mapped out and sent to four roller coaster companies. You are one of the top designers of either B&M, GCI, The Gravity Group, or Premier. The land is an ideal place for the park to put a new ride to bring in the masses, but they want to make sure that what they are getting is gonna be big news. So they've made a little competition between coaster companies. Best design gets the spot, simple enough. And boy they are paying well. 2,000 whole points to the winner.

-Guidlines-
*Track must stay inside the red boundaries.
*All other supports, theming, etc. can go outside the template provided. Do keep in mind though, there are other things in this park.
*Station (from the editor view) must stay within the box with an X.
*The blue lines represent a train track, the box the train station, and the other blue lines the queue. You may not place anything within 7 meters directly above the track and 5 meters directly above the queue. Both are marked to help you out. If you can't figure out which is which, you don't need to be designing roller coasters.
*You may NOT pass over the train station. Doing so will result in disqualification, whether it be supports, track, or scenery.
*Terraforming is allowed, and only allowed, on the opposite side of the purple line from the train station.
*There is no limit to length, though no shuttles are allowed.
*Only one launch OR lift is allowed per side/circuit. You cannot have one of each.
*Your coaster must pass tunnel test.
*MCBR is optional.
*Must aquire at least 1,500 riders per hour.
This formula will be used:
3600 / (average dispatch time) x (riders per train)
*Keep in mind, this is for a real park, not some sick fantasy land where the laws of physics do not apply. Realism counts in a big way.
*3D's are optional, but a small bonus will be given for a little something extra.
*Some bonus will also be given for creative use of the template.
*Tracks are to be submitted via the exchange or e-mail. Post the link in this thread to make things easier to find. Also let me know when you e-mail your track so we do not loose it over snail mail (I have yahoo). My address is metalheadfranz@yahoo.com
*Deadline is Saturday July 15th at 21:00(US)

And here is the template.
http://www.zshare.net/download/like-fli ... track.html

Upload your track to the exchange and link to it in this topic when you are finished. If you'd rather keep it out of reach for the other competitors, feel free to e-mail it to either myself, Myriad, or SFMM Homie. But, clearly state that we should have gotten them because e-mail is not 100% sure-fire.

The guidlines are shown above and in the info box when you open the editor. Hopefully, nobody will get lost.

-FAQ- (Freaking Annoying Questions)
- Are dueling coasters allowed?
Yes.
- How will the boundaries be judged?
All of the boundary issues will be seen from the editor, all height issues will be judged from the sim. i.e. The track over the I-beams cannot come in contact with them. A better way to be sure you don't mess up, just be careful. Don't cut it so close that you aren't sure. Be sure you're safe and you won't have to question.
-Am I allowed to join now?
No. It is too late. The deadline has passed.
-Can we change the support beams used for the template?
As long as the do not move, I am ok with that.

I might judge for you. Put me on at this point and if I can't do it then I'll let you know.

By the way, I think the best way to judge would be to average the ratings of the three judges.

Sign me up. [:D] However, if the cjd ever gets the ratings done for the next round then obviously that'll come first.

I'll try if I find the time, so I may or may not get an entry in. I'm in a match up elsewhere starting the 16th.

Iron man, one thing i must add, this contest will be using different styles of coasters, wouldn't it be very hard to compare those coaster to make out the winner, or will there be categarised winners?

I'm not sure how other people feel about this, but do you think it would be cool if we were "assigned" companies? I think this would make the contest more challenging, and there would be equal amounts of different coasters.

Bigboy, that's a good idea, I'll take it into consideration. Maybe change it up a bit, but that may work.

Also, scream, yes the rules are more specific. You'll get all of the guidlines when you get the template. I'll put everything on the first post in this forum when it's time.

no, than some people would get what there good at and some people would get what they suck at. I mean, some people can't make woodies and some can't make intamins.

Someone whos expert at wood would get wood and someone whos also good whould get intmain. Wouldn't that be unfair?

I think he'd choose one for each individual based on their previous tracks. And if so, would you give us what we're good at, or what we'd find most difficult?

Well, this is a challenge you guys. You're not going to ease your way through it. I may choose something for you, I may pick at random, I don't know. I'm still deciding.

Whatever it is, this is shaping up to be one heck of a contest. Should be alot more fun than I predicted.
