Summary:

Based on the currently being built Boardwalk Bullet, at the Kemah Boardwalk, the goal of this contest is to create a coaster in a very small footprint, yet with regular height and length. The focus of the contest will be airtime and adrenaline, but tech and originality won't be left out.

What needs to be 105 feet tall? Any part of the structure or the actual track?

Q2: What is the judgement on Tunnel and E-Stop testing?

this is the worst time for a contest, the end of the year, finals.... blah

I'm in, finals will take priority over this, but I'll still do it anyway, I'm sure I'll find time.

After next week finals will be over...sign me up. Time to give some glory to my home-state baby.

I'll give it a shot for a change.

I'm in.

I'm in

I'll do it.

I'll sort of... "Half join." I might have to leave because of finals and because I tend to get unhappy with my tracks halfway through. Put an asterisk by my user name just to keep record that I might have to drop out.

I thought I'd forewarn.

Well, I like the BB template, as I have a cool layout in mind, BUT I'm having trouble making a 105' ride. I prefer something in the 80' range.
