Right on the heels of the NL2 Tournament, I thought, "Hey, not enough coasters have cutbacks.". Now this is happening. There is no template, there is no height limit, there is no limit on inversions, there are only two rules.

1. It must have a cutback that is banked at at least 165 degrees. What is a cutback?
This:

2. The coaster must have not finished trackwork any time before 6/19/2016 (so no, you can't just jam a cutback into something you already made).

That's it. You can do whatever you want. You can do any style you want. If it doesn't make sense for a cutback, you might lose realism points but you can still do a CCI wooden coaster with a cutback. If you don't have a cutback, you lose.

Coaster will be judged on the following categories:
1. Visual Appeal
2. Trackwork
3. Realism (this includes shaping and supporting)
4. Uniqueness
and
5. Cutback Inclusion

And the people who will be judging your rides are:

me!

Paradox!

and Olmisery!

The contest deadline is July 17th, of course, if you want to submit it before then, you totally can!
Submit your entry by putting on the exchange, and including "CCC" in the title and the tags.

If you want to enter, just reply, "Cutbacks are objectively the best inversion" below. Or, as an alternative, just say something along the lines of "I want to be in the contest"

Cutbacks are objectively the best inversion.

Do Banana rolls count? (Takabisha)
Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

No, it has to be a cutback. As in, two half corkscrews cutback. But you could include a Banana Roll.

Mine is getting interesting. It's what would happen if you took Drachen Fire, Kumba, and GASM (SFGAdv) and threw them in a blender.

How do we submit entries?


Upload them to the exchange with the tag "CCC" in both the title and the actual tags so it's easy to search for.

Update the first page as well. Could be convenient and saves a bunch of searching in the tread.
I'm going to consider to see if Cutbacks are objectively the best inversion. :lol:

Ok but how desperate you have to be to voluntarily fly from another country to go to Thorpe?

The only proper implementation of a cutback is around another, smaller cutback.
