2006 NL Tournament (Round 1) - RESULTS pg 58

Since people are posting their tracks, I think I should post mine too. I'm goin to expose all of my track but their is one part I took pics of. It's my unique collection of airtime hills, 10 to be exact. I'm not sure about the rest of the track, but I'm still working on my project. Here's the NLDC link

Track completed! [:D] I'm quite proud of what I've done. 10 moments of ejector airtime, a double-up, and 4 high-speed turns. It just needs some more tweaking, and I should be ready to start the supports.

Victory! I have 12 instances of airtime, but I'm somewhat pissed of making 3ds...it's so annoying to make one brush after the other. But I'm only hitting the brakes at 48 km/h[V]. I'm still pleased with what I've got. 6 camlebacks, a kind of double down, a nice helice, a horseshoe and a highspeed turn right above the ground.

Sounds similar. I have 8 airtime hills, one 250 degree helix, a turn along the ground, and other stuff. I have 11 instances! Barely beat. Ohwell, I still can't wait to see some of your rides.

I got well over 12 instances of airtime and 8 tall camel backs.

i'd deleted my first layout too... i didn't liked it...

gazag, you said your coaster is 259.97 feet, but the height restriction is 250 for this contest.

sorry i ment 249.97

All I know is that I spent an entire night perfecting the shape of the hills to match those on the B&M Hypers because they are NOT typical hills. They are very unique to those rides and arent exactly easy to recreate closely.

Im relying on a unique layout + a ton of realism for my entry.

Realism is probaly where I lack, just because I have that twisted section. But if you love airtime and fast rides, you'll love my ride. However, I had to slow the lift to allow a more flowing ride.

I also hope for some points for realism, however, I'm still not sure if I got the hills right. I think they look somewhat B&M like, and they produce some nice airtime!

I'm not sure if I'm going to even finish, none of the layouts I've started so far have worked out. I'll take a copy of the road though, whoever's sending it. guitarplayer673@hotmail.com

My track is going ok... my first one that got really messed up was a lot better, though.

^^^Without sounding...elitest, those arent really close. Keep studying those pictures.

^^^^I will have some uniquness to mine probably with some twisting sections. I already have a pretty cool back to back diving turn combo that no ones going to see (or any else of my ride for that matter) but I do plan to include something thats not normal. Otherwise itll just be a realistic ride with no real identity.

Yeah, Real's right about the hills (though I wouldn't have said anything, because like you stated previously, it's a competition). Keep working on it though, as I'm sure you'll have a good ride Ish.

Would you mind telling me about this? Its based on Goliath, but im not sure.

You are close, but still a bit away. They are tricky, trust me.

But when you get the right shape, you get a ton of sustained airtime. I think Im getting 4-6 seconds per large hill of 0.0 or more negative air.

Yeah, now that I look at some pics again, my hill is way to tight and way too clothoid like, but it works for my ride;)

Oh, and I do also get 2 seconds of 0.0 or less g's.

EDIT: Dit I really write 4 seconds? Screw that, that had to be wrong...not that they don't produce some nice and cosistent airtime, but it's more about 2-3 seconds, which is still much, compared to all my rides on silver star=P
