what do you mean with style? The trainstyle you must use is the same that GG uses, the PTC-4-seats.

As for building style you are completely free, but i don't think a wild-mouse building style won't get you as much points as an airtime and 90*-turns filled GG-building style

Not even on blocks? Are blocks completely disallowed or do we have to build them on a slope or something?


Jimmy also said it, put your brakes and station on a slope and the trains will roll away because of gravity

Adding to the list - Ghost Rider. It doesn't need them, per say, but the kickers are there.

I personally don't think you can correctly support a 105ft woodie of the desired length within those boundaries. You can do it with trackwork, but not supporting correctly. I challenge someone to prove me wrong.

It's possible. Very possible. You just have to have patience and support it yourself.

The thing that is troubling is the length rule. If you want a ride as long as BB, make a little bigger templete. Sheesh.

Oi, trouble with the template. I can't fit anything in, keep the forces fine, keep it long enough and decent speed. So I trashed my old layout [:D]

Aw man, I have to drop out. This is incredibly hard. I can't fit anything in without the forces going completely out of control. Sorry, I hope someone makes a launched coaster contest though, I'm actually good at those. :)

You're correct actually, now that I'm building my coaster I found that to have realistic supports, the lift hill NEEDS to be steeper than 25.5 degrees. And 25.5 is very realistic for GG/CCI coasters (even though I think Voyage might have a steeper lift). If you make the height of the coaster 105.1 feet however, and have a lift hill that is 25.5 degrees steep, you can ALMOST fit it in the template.

My lift is at 30 degrees and goes 110 feet with a little room for a straight beginning for the drop.

I don't understand. My coaster fits perfectly fine and i have enough room to do lateral bracing...

But I think my problem will be length.

I am sorry as well as the others as that I have to drop out. I would normally stay in something like this, but with D.C. next week I lose 5 days which to me is very needed.

This is my official post for resigning.

I know support Nodes cannot go outside of the boundaries, and that footers partially can. What about beams?
