2009 NLT - Round 2 - RESULST PAGE 9

If you're going to to call a wild-card you should probably make that an official announcement pretty darn quick [;)]

I think he ought to finish rating the rides first, but that just me.

Does the spine box on skywheels' roll count as supports or track? (I will be making it with supports)
Also, if I make supports but they are 3ds will they still be deleted when rating? Or will you count them as supports?

WInteresting to read this. I haven't had the internet for over a week so I haven't read everything.
But this is going to challenge me lots of trains.
Also can I take out the ststion building?
this is just ugly

Can we make a tunnel through one of the existing buildings like on Rockit? The tunnel would be made completely with catwalks so basically there would just be a hole in the side of the building (just like Rockit).

No, but the next best thing you could do is make a tunnel right over or next to a building.

Yes you may.

It will be considered part of the actual track.

If your 3ds are actual supports, they will not be deleted and considered real supports.

The coaster must feature exactly one inversion.

Ahh crap, I just had some good ideas for various inversions. But apparently I can only go for one inversion only. That asks for a major layout change... '?????????_?????????

So if the track cannot go below 6 meters. can the car? like for the inversion

Just so you know, it is never, ever a good idea to have the car lower than the track at the bottom of an inversion.

Edit: Does anyone know the heartline value for an x-car?

^What about a saxophone inversion?

I wouldn't really consider putting a saxophone on my x-car coaster though. I meant in wouldn't be a good idea, in pretty much any way, to do that in this round.

I'm just going through a bunch of ideas. Like if I had a roll at that 6 meters height the car would go below 6 meters wouldn't it?

ok.Here what I know about myself
1. my ride for the first round sucked
2. This ride will suck
3. Really the best people should be in here.
So is there a way you can replace me with someone who deserves to be in this round? because I don't and thats the truth that everybody knows it.

hyyyper, is this non-inverting enough for you? The banking only goes to 115*, but I don't want risk disqualification [:P]

Train can go under 6m.

Looks pretty un-inverting to me, approved.

Well, if you heartline the coaster properly the car won't go under 6m. But it depends on what kind of roll you want...

[hyyyper]

Guys....guys....where are the teaser pics?

I'm anxious to see how you all are doing.

I'm completely failing so far [:D]! But I'm still trying, I'm basically just building as I go though. No idea what the rest of my layout will be.

I've got a bunch of ideas, but I'm having a really hard time coming up with a layout that feels like a real layout and not just a string of gimmicks; especially because of the 6-train rule, which makes it really hard to get any momentum and flow going. So, yeah, the fact that I'm really having a hard time with it is the reason why I'm not sharing anything yet.

What I will share is that I plan to do a lot of "cheating" by having inversions that are only banked at 154 degrees. [:D]

[Coasterkidmwm]

It'll be like that time you actually did cheat when Gazag did the contest. man that was a great time.

Im just gonna lol at that cuse its most likely going to be funny. I am just to lazy to go and search it up.

Wow, my coaster starts out exactly like Kevin's...

(...back to the drawing board.)

If you want a summary, what happened is that I submitted a track that was going to be DQ'ed because of bad g's. Then gazag lost all of the tracks and made everyone resubmit, so between submissions I fixed the bad g, although only 1 submission was allowed.

Granted, seeing as how I ended up making it to the next round anyway, even after gazag corrected the mistake, and then the contest was canceled a few days afterward, making the whole thing not count anyway, and I've already apologized for it, I really don't see why Coasterkidmwm is still making such a big deal out of it even 2 years after the fact...

Hyyyper, if we use a non-inverting loop or similar element, if you can tell that was the intent, will you count it as an inversion if it technically goes over 155*?
