very little waits, 5-10 secs = little?

5-10 seconds is ok, anything higher then that is cutting it close.

wudya mean by no tires then that includes brakes. does that mean no brakes? and you included station, wut do you mean by all that?[confused]

o.k., i finally got the details. this is going to be really fun.

Umm, it says I'm still in, and I found a few more hours today, so I'll try to do this with the simplist style-wooden.

Does 100ft tall mean Y=100ft or 100ft from the ground?

i finished the track! now supports, can i make 3ds?

EDIT: Darn, im at 2379ft., not 2500, im off by 121 ft. great, now i have to redo parts.

EDIT 2: i got it fixed, track donw, just supports now!

finished the track!, just needs some supports[:(]

Of course you can use brakes and a station, but you can't enable the advancer tires.

y=100ft is pretty much the same as 100ft off the ground, so yea, Y=100ft would be the limit.[:D]

Also when you mean hardly or no waits, does that mean only for the train you start out in, or all three?

All of them, like at blocks, no waiting time, or little waiting time.

thanks[:)]these coasters are all goin be like lil tikes. lil, short, but fun i guess.

sent mine in!

No, by Y=100 I meant Y=100 and 100ft off the ground I meant 100ft off any terrain(If it goes up my lift can go up further).

can we use 3ds?

I think you can if you can find the time.

I have to quit. Sorry, just I have to leave for camp now, and I thought the rules would be posted earlier so I would get the ride done by today, but I don't have it done really at all.

My coaster is now in, but i think it waits too long at brakes. Oh well. Only time will tell.

In that case, 100ft off the ground. But remember, this is a short and sweet contest, so a 100ft lift hill with a 110+ft drop may not win this contest. [;)]
