do supports have to be within the template?

[gouldy]

I'm really suffering with a creative block at the moment, I've thrown down two layouts and been very unhappy with both of them! Might go to Alton Towers this afternoon and get the creative juices flowing

Yes

i know i didnt get through but i wanna do the template!

[Coasterkidmwm]

Feel free to do that. The template isn't only for people in the contest.

You can't win and won't get judged though lol.

what's the max transport speed on non-launch sections?

[hyyyper]

Damn, I really forgot some things this round. I guess I figured all those little details where too obvious for me to place them in the rules [:D]

It's 15 kph / 9.3 mph

Is this true of the lift speed also?

Lift speed is unlimited, as long as it doesn't go over the maximum top speed.

Hey people, a little update for you. LeFlo has decided to quit the tournament. His spot will be filled by gazag, as he had the 5th highest score in the previous round.

thats right bitches, you all in trouble now

2 questions to add:
does mavericks 1st element = 1 lift or 2 launches?
transport segments, allowed or not?

By first element you mean the 'launchy-lift hill'? Well, to be honest, it doesn't really matter what it is.
See, there are lifts and launches, and some mixes between them (lifty-launches for example). And of all those possible combinations, you simple need 3. You can have 3 lifts, 3 launches or 1 launchy-lift hill and 2 lify launches. It doesn't matter. As long as there are 3 sections that add either potential or kinetic energy to the train. Or a combination of potential and kinetic. You get the point.

As for transport segments. Allowed, read the 6th post above this one.

ahh ok, thank you

[Metazoanhaddock]

Finished and sent in.[^]

damb you, i havent even finnished my layout

[Coasterkidmwm]

Better get crackin'!

BTW thanks LeFlo for warning that you can't finish

[hyyyper]

So guys, about 5 days left. Are you all going to finish on time?

shall finnish, lots of supporting left as i only just started so ill get it done

[gouldy]

I's coming along, I haven't really had the time to work on it over the last 2 weeks, so I only really got into it on Saturday, but got my layout down on Saturday/Sunday/Monday and started supports yesterday.

I'm really happy with some parts of my track, but also really unhappy with some other parts . Can't do a lot about it now, just don't have the time. But I'll definitely be submitting a track, even though there was a point last week where I thought it wasn't going to be possible.

must we use the premade colours?

Yeah... you better submit your track soon!

NOOO!!! I ALREADY CHANGED MY COLOURS!!!

I'm making a track with this template...the layout is so damn hard to work with, especially to get that first launch to work, damn! I kind of deviated so that certain proportions could stay correct, so it wouldn't have made it even I was in the contest lol.

You really made a hard template to work with Hyyper! X|

And that thing of having elements only UNDER the red line was insanity! I guess the point was to have the elements visible to the spectator's walking along the sidewalk right? Or was it just to be extra difficult lol...

Well, you are not competing in the tournament, so you don't have to follow the rules. You can make a B&M floorless with 20 inversions outside the lines if you must.

But, yes, you can change the colors.

Easy templates are boring

I've been done for like over 2 weeks...I just need to add trees (was already too far along when the tree file was posted).
