2009 NoLimits Tournament - Round 1 [RATINGS PG-16]

I've done the track and i'm just finishing off the 100% custom support work. Oh the joys of being snowed in.

Ok, I lied, I'm finished....
Now for some smoothing, and the supports...
Oh the joy!

Damn, you guys are fast...

After 7 hours of work between RCT and NL, I still just have the drop, the double-up-double-down, the first turn, and an air hill to show for it.

If we are planning on making a tunnel, are we still not allowed to alter the terrain?

No, but you can make an all-concrete tunnel. In that way the landscape remains untouched and you'll still have a tunnel.

Don't you have to touch the landscape to build a tunnel?

you can make the tunnel above the terrain

This pretty much shows the entire layout, with the exception of the second half of the finale.

Do wide supports not exsist on Gravity Group coasters?

They do, just look at Ravine Flyer II:

I was joking dude, I know they do. I just couldn't see any on Vid_W's coaster.

lol, too early, I'm still fondling with the track!
I shall do the supports later!

Here's the NLDC page, btw...

Progress so far:


This coaster is nowhere near as ridiculous as my GG woodie from last year, rather dealing the thrills with consistent high lateral g's and airtime rather than the tight high-g turns that Hurricane had. Also, layout-wise, I'm going for a bit more finesse rather than complete disorder and craziness.

Progress is being made.... [:D]

I think mine is coming along pretty good. layout is 95%done then I get to do what little of woddensupports I can

Is height measured from bottom of editor? Or top of hill?

P.S.
Mine is going along nicely, im starting the drop now.
Would fvding it all but then ahging with a low speed to make lats be a good idea?

Height, I am assuming, would be restricted to between both red lines if you look at it in the side view.

No, I mean for the height rule of between 100 and 115 feet.

Height will be measured from the bottom of the editor. I added the lines tiepilot mentioned for the participant's convenience.

Am I lazy if I have yet to start this .

No, you are screwed.
Gah, spent like a night on my prelift.

Here is my coaster, Let me know what you think.

Ahaha, me too man! It didn't even turn out right, so I've got a station right now

Going to be working on it a ton today though, hopefully by the end of this weekend I'll be done the layout.
