Mine's Newtoned and fits in the boundaries. [devilish]

P.S: I was about to drop out, thanks for the motivation!

Motivation? saying that my coaster is bad?

No, I'm not saying that, it's just that I hadn't heard or seen anything in awhile and was loosing interest. I'm no RWN.

grrr mines not looking good

Suggeestion for the next contest....Larger Boundaries

I think the build area was small on purpose to create a challenge for us...

That's what I think. But with the boundaries were so small, it only allowed for a certain type of layout. I'll upload what I had before I dropped out so you can see that everyone's coaster probably has a similar layout.


Edit:http://coastercrazy.com/track_exchange/detail/18693

that's what I would have submitted after objects got finished.

That wasn't horrible...the boundaries are a bit difficult to work with...
I got past that red boundary line by using a 3d and having the corners touch in the white

The coaster was large enough for an intamin, but probably not the unbelievably tall coaster that everyone's going for. ASC never said the coaster had to be tall, it just had to be 3rd Gen. Intimidator 305 is still shorter than Millenium Force, but its twice as intense.

^ not really...

My coaster track is every where... Richie, im suprized you fit it into ONLY THE BIG PART OF IT! Well, Ive progressed on supports and have an idea to get past the no supports zone.There are a few g spikes, but thats because i couldent make the turns bigger because of the template size. A.S.C, Next time, make a template that is possible to realisticly build a coaster.

I had this issue while sculpting the second turn, but the supports would go OB. I found a way around this by putting pull pressure on the supports rather than push. That turn became the parabolic hill but it wouldve been more intense if there was a little more room.

^ Agreed. This contest would be MUCH better with a realistic template

Pff, where is the challenge in that?

^ Im just saying this template was nearly impossible to build in without some kind of lateral g spike...

When I said intense i didnt quite mean it would be better, i meant it would pull maybe double the gs it does now...but that could be better based on your opinion

Define tall. I would consider 300+ feet tall to say the least, Gigas are 300-399 feet tall.

anything taller than 300ft is disqualified I would guess (but it's up to A.S.C) from the contest because it is the "3rd gen giga coaster contest. Anything 400-499 feet is considered a strata coaster. 500-599 is a tera coaster, so on and so forth.

Any thing over 400 feet is out and under 300 feet. And how do you know the name of a 500 foot coaster???

well no a 400 - 499 is a teracoster not just a strata its tera 2 it has both names but if we go based on metrics it has peta next so next coster petacoster seelink http://www.essex1.com/people/speer/large.html

If its cable lifted its automatically mega or above. if mega lites are "mega" then how would you define a giga by comparison?

lol. NL2 should support Hepacoasters.

It should support EVERYTHING!
