CCNLT Round 4 ????????? Bikini Bottom Barrel Roll

Welcome to Round 4 of the NLT. This round you will be building a eurofighter coaster in an indoor amusement park. This round will eliminate 4 contestants, and the other 4 go into the final 5th round.

Rules

Note that all rules will be measured in the metric system. The imperial measurements are rounded and can only be used as an estimate.

Your entry must be made by you and you alone. You are only allowed to use material from other people if that material is to be used and obtained by anyone at the start of the round. Materials used that are not yours should also be mentioned in the track info or track description.

Nothing on the template may be altered or removed, you are free to add things. Changing the color of the template is allowed.

The track and supports should be entirely within the hall.

Trackstyle should be Gerstlauer Eurofighter

Supports may not be attached to pillars, spans, roof and walls.

Minimum length: 600m (1970ft)

Minimum height: 26m (85ft) (this means the entire track (rails, ties and main track) has to go completely above the 26m marker at least once).

Minimum track height above paths (blue areas): 4m (13ft)

You can place supports on the paths

You can not have others test your trackwork

Minimum amount of inversions: 2 (Over 155degrees banking)

You may use only 1 powered ascend with a maximum speed of 15 kph (9,3 mph).

Guidelines
The magic word in this round is capacity, eurofighter trains only seat 8 people so a lot of mcbr?????????s and the use of double stations is recommended.

Sending in
Your track should be in the CoasterCrazy Exchange at the latest at April 30 11:59 PM. Please include the [NLTR4] tag in your trackname. Failing to send in a track, or getting your track DQ?????????d will result in a 4 week ban.

If you have any questions regarding the round or the tournament, feel free to ask them in this topic.

woah, this template is AMAZING!!! im definately gonna make something for this [;)]

All I have to say is THANK GOD I got out in the last round. Getting a high-capacity Eurofighter timed just right so the trains don't stop mid-course is something that I've not been able to do. With just 15 days to build, I'd have been banned for sure on this round.

(whew)

I'll probably try it for fun anyway, but without the pressure of timelines. Nice template, Hyyyper.

Very nice template Bas![pshades]

Can we go, if tunneltestproof, thru the pilars?

^You do know that there is a tube in the middle of each of the pillars right? Nothing will fit in there.

Oh, didn't see that.

Lookin' good, hyyyper. Once again, I'll have very limited time to build the ride, but at least it's a smaller scale coaster this time. Best of luck, Austin.

Easily the best round by far. Fun time watching these [pshades]

"You can place supports on the paths"

So whats the points of the paths? anything?

Thanks Kevin, best of luck to you as well.

[Oscar]

overhead clearance maybe?

Yeesh... I've never built a Euro-Fighter before. It's more my style than the Gerst Spinner round, but none the less, methinks it's time to go do some studying.

And unfortunate_smiley, I'm looking forward to a good fight. From all the years I've been judging your coasters in contests, I know you've got one of the best knacks for pacing and sequencing out there, so this should be one helluva wild contest. Good luck!

For walking, silly.

Pretty cool, I've always had some wicked ideas for a eurofighter.

i was just wondering if it was a mis- type or not, "can" should be "can't" ?

Man this is so much fun hyyyper! I've already got 800 feet of very intense coaster in!

Congrats on making a great template.

I don't think it's a mis-type. The paths, I'm assuming, are just for pedestrians, so it makes sense to me. You don't want people to be able to reach up and get their hands run over by passing coaster trains, but them touching the support pillars is no real problem, and they can walk around them easily.

This looks like it's going to be a great round. This template is on of the best templates I've ever seen. Great job hyyyper.

Well, it's been quiet on here for a while, and I finally got a chance to figure out what I was going to do this round, so here's a few fun facts and screenies:

I'm pretty pleased with the 800 ft I've created so far.

[Coasterkidmwm]

Look like a need a more original color scheme lol.

Aww, I actually would have had fun with this round, I'm sure we'll see some great entries.

^ Heck, I downloaded the template and might challenge myself... someday. I'm looking forward to what comes out of this group.

Failing the Tunnel Test doesn't result in a ban right? I have 2 tiny little hits on a loop and a helix...

[hyyyper]

^you'll get a lower tech if those infractions are reachable. Keep in mind that eurofighters have OTSRs.

You're kidding right? A one month site ban?

Screw this........
