The track for the pre-lift turn and the final brake run don't physically go outside the border, but I decided to tunnel test those sections, and the border is sticking through. Can that still pass or no?


Go into top view in the editor. Zoom in on the track. Is it entirely inside the template, that's cool. Does it go over the line, you're out.

^It's very clearly inside the template. But I also have another question:

The train goes through the MCBR at 21 mph (34 km/hr). To make the ride so that it can have a transport segment (thus allowing the train to leave the MCBR after an E-stop without requiring park maintenance to push the train to the station) but not having it slow down is if the transport segment's speed limit is 21 mph, clearly over the limit. However, with a 0.15 G acceleration, the train leaves the MCBR at 8 mph (12.9 km/hr) after an E-Stop because the MCBR isn't long enough to let the train go to 21 mph, and it still has plenty of inertia to make it back to the station. So, in other words, it goes above the limit on paper, but can't in reality, unless I raise the acceleration rate of the MCBR. Will it still be allowed?

The story is a bit confusing, but it seems you're exit speed at the mcbr is too slow after an estop.
You are not allowed to make the transport wheels go faster than 9.3 kph, so you will have to find another way around it. (raising the mcbr, moving the mcbr, editing the 2nd half of the ride)

im using a break as a LIM to slow the train at the MCBR, however it slows it to more than 9.3mph but its isnt a block segment, the train is only slowed and dosent stop in an Estop on it and has a break after that stops the train and lets the train roll out after an E-stop

does this qulify or will i be DQ'ed for it?

^ I think gazag is saying that his LSM segment is slowing the train down. However, the segment will not stop the train/car during an E-stop but the brake after it will. He wants to know if it is ok to have a speed setting higher then the 9.3 mph if its not speeding the train up.

I think thats what he asked.

I have surprised myself, I think I am actually going to make the deadline! I can't believe it.

The track is atrocious, mind, but I'll have still made the deadline! [lol]

Guys, don't forget to include your usernames when you send in your tracks. Otherwise Oscar doesn't know which track belongs to which member.

How should I send my track in? Sorry in advance if that was stated above or in the previous pages. I don't have the patience to read them all.
