2012 No Limits Tournament - Finale - The Curse of Montu's Little Brother

So, it has come to this. From all the members who signed up some months ago, four are now left to build one last ride that could make them win the tournament.

The assignment:

A park in the french-speaking part of Egypt wants to expand. Unfortunately the only plot of the land the park was able to purchase was part of an archaeological area, and the uncovered tomb is now a tourist attraction. Nevertheless, the park still wants to add another coaster. They already have a fair number of family rides, and are looking for an intense inverted roller coaster to please the thrill seekers that do not like riding dragon wagons all day long. Werther the ride is long, short, high, low, launched or not, does not matter, just make sure it is kick-ass.

The coaster must be uploaded to the exchange at the latest on June 27th 11:59 PM (site time)
Please include a [NLT] tag and link to your coaster in this topic, so that the judges can find your track without difficulty.

Track/Train style must be an invert.

All track and supports must be within the blue lines.

The park does not want you to build over paths and the square, you can only
go under the paths and the square. (Indicated by pink lines)

Protests from foreign merchandise vendors that sell cheap knock-offs nearby the tomb have banned the placement of footers
on the structure and the area within the structure of the ancient tomb.
In addition, superstitious construction workers refuse to work on and under the tomb, in fear of a curse that is rumored to give people large noses.
In short, this means that if you plan on going crossing the tomb area, you will have to go over the ancient structure, and the supports can also be archored to the side of the ancient structure.
(The tomb area is indicated with red lines)

Template can be found in the exchange, or by clicking the following link:

The coaster must be uploaded to the exchange at the latest on June 27th 11:59 PM (site time)
Please include a [NLT] tag and link to your coaster in this topic, so that the judges can find your track without difficulty.

While there are no rules concerning top speed, height, lenght, capacity, lift/launch setting etc., you're score will be influenced by the choices you make.

If there are questions, comments or whatever, do not hesitate to post them.

Have fun and see you in five weeks. Good luck.

Oh, and before I forget, the coaster must be uploaded to the exchange at the latest on June 27th 11:59 PM (site time)

Keep in mind the french invert is not as untraditional as some idiots have been pushing.

Hey guys, just a quick update. I am extending the deadline with TWO DAYS. apparently some members think they need a vacation or something. So, in result, two more days to tweak your ride and crush the opposition.

The new deadline is midnight on June 29th (into the 30th) so the coaster must be uploaded to the exchange at the latest on June 29th 11:59 PM (site time)

I hope I'm not the only one who struggled heavily with this template. Might as well post a teaser.

Meh, I could have done better, but I was really busy with an internship, so this was the best I could do.

I ran out of time to find a good layout. I got pretty far with a Giovanola but was unable to complete the layout, so I have to drop out. Good luck to the other 3 contestants.

Tracksix's coaster is a definitive win for me. Lot of tunnels, amazing coaster beginning and the ride remained smooth all the time.

yoshi's coaster was also fine, but I thought it wasn't as innovative as tracksix. Nice bridge though and I like the launched lift hill even if it's not standard for a suspended B&M.

My rates will be uploaded tonight. They're extremely close so I'm going to go over the tracks again later tonight to make sure I didn't miss anything.

Good job both of you.

Again I apologize for not rating quickly, but I kind of forgot this tournament existed lol. Hyyyper has been good at reminding us until this round.

But to repeat my rates will be sent in in a couple of hours.

I wasn't either so don't worry about it. The "you didn't remind me to do my job" card is a terrible card to play.

Hyyyper send me your email so I can email the rates.

And to both of you, very very close round. It's amusing to me that I hated both of your beginnings despite them being so different.

Don't let a negative tone in my rates give you the message your tracks sucked. They were very good, I'm just very picky.

Hey guys, I promise I'll have ratings for the two of you up tomorrow night. Sorry for taking a while on this, I'm working full time for the first time in a while and have been just busy in general the last couple weeks.
