2011 NLT - Round 2 - Ozark's Revenge

^ El Toro has drive wheels

Intamin uses wheels in the station for its woodies, and other than that LeFLO, I'm not aware of any wooden roller coaster manufacturer that doesn't use a sloped station for gravity release.

^^Ghostrider has wheels

Prowler at Worlds of Fun has LIMs. OR whatever, on the brakes and station.. i was there.
It was made my GCI right?

Yeah Prowler's a GCI. That surprises me. Renegade has LIM brakes in the final brakes and the station but I'm almost certain they do not propel the trains. I would be confident in saying Prowler's don't propel the trains either.

lol.....

Lol they aren't even LIMs...they are mag brakes. Sheesh...

[Metazoanhaddock]

speaking of which, are we allowed to use lim's as mag brakes?

Stop being a rich piece of poop.

Helping people in need is not a vacation.

question, the height limit, is that from ground level or from the level of the land under the lift?
P.S. to make sure it is under the limit just make a support from bottom to top

Does this mean that the station and final brake run must be angled downward to allow the train to exit without any transport?

Unless you plan on pushing the train forward each time, yes.

Yes, but be very carefull not to let them speed up the train, as that will get you DQ'd.

The height limit is the exact editor height.

Well what if they slow down the train and keep them at a certain speed?
hmm

[gouldy]

If it maintains the speed of the train, then surely it is propelling the train? So that would be a fail.

That is not allowed.

You know, you can make a brake (purple) section that uses mag brakes...just don't speed up the train.

[Coasterkidmwm]

AND MAKE SURE IT PASSES ESTOP since pretty much everyone with magnetic brakes failed it in the Eurofighter round.

Dynamic computer controlled mag brakes do this. Usually only the first set in the brake run that trims most of the speed off is static (permanent magnets), the rest is run off the PLC, and they will hold trains at speed. Permanent magnets don't exactly release either, hence why Boardwalk Bullet rolls off the brakes so slow. But the computer controlled dynamic brakes most certainly keep trains restricted to a speed.

[hyyyper]

That might be the case. But to keep things simple:

- You are not allowed to do anything else then slow the train down (or do absolutely nothing to the train) with non-track segments, excluding the lift.

I got a question:

When judges will check that there are no supports outside the blue lines, will they check considering the nodes being inside the lines of for example a footer which, in the editor, goes out of the lines because of its squared shape ?

Ugh, I'm already finding this difficult. Good template hyyyper.

I'll be using the editor. Just because it is completely impossible to check for out-of-bounds supports in the simulator because there is no way to get a perfect top-down view.
