Man, I'm I wasn't able to get more than three barrel rolls and a loop, all of you guys have variety in your inversions.

lol I downloaded you guys' rides and I actually don't think my ride is as beta as I originally thought.

I rushed so much with the supports because I slacked off on them until I got home from class tonight at 10.

^Rated. Unless anymore entries come in I have done my rating duties.


EDIT: I think I should get a prize for the only handbuilt entry [^]

Ajax, I won't be able to rate yours until tomorrow. I can only download 3 tracks a day and apparently I've reached my limit.

Edit: Same thing with SkyArrow. I can't open any NLPacks until I get the track packager again and it's considered a track download from this site. All because coasterchamber went down.

I'm glad you guys like the ride! It really was a miracle of a track layout. The s-curves were made to merely get the track out of a tunnel test "trap" I had closed myself into. The last inversion was another crisis, where I had almost zero speed in Newton so the forces and rolls had to be very careful and precise - and I had to figure out how to do another inversion. Luckily I found a straight-shot escape route out of my boxed in layout so I constructed a heartline roll. However it had to be force-based so that it would roll off of the transition in, so I spent hours working with 20 mph and 4 second long transitions with some careful warping.

I was surprised I pulled it off, and now that I look back at the entire thing in retrospect I'm surprised I pulled it off as a whole. Reason being: look how much I waited between the 2nd inversion and the 3rd inversion. The 2nd was shortly after the lift, but the third was after a helix and 6 turns/hills. I was so busy making cool stand-up swoops and spirals that I ended up barely getting my corkscrew in (speed-wise) and shoehorned a heartline roll in.

I guess I really didn't do that bad lol.

Just waiting on AJ to do his rates. While we're waiting, I'll make sure all the tracks follow the rules. I don't think that I'm going to disqualify anyone for minor violations (i.e. the spine crosses the boundary by a small amount). I think for any minor violation, 0.5 points will be deducted from the overall score per violation.

Rated all!



EDIT: Is anyone else gonna contribute to ratings? It's kinda weird just rating each other lol. We need some outside judgement.

^Yeah I say we wait until the end of the week. If we can even get any more ratings.

That sounds reasonable. I was really hoping to have a few more people get in on this contest, but we can wait to see if anyone else rates them.

The more ratings, the better, and hopefully the more accurately representing. I generally don't like being the only rater because the feeling of a ride's "destiny in my hands" is too much pressure, and I generally don't like trying to decide scores, but how else is there going to be any meaning behind the results beyond mere feedback?

Express 90 is a killer coaster literally!

I wanna know how to do the open harnesses during the ride glitch. I read that it involves manual dispatch and great timing.

[coolbeans326]

It's as simple as clicking the dispatch button almost immediately after tapping the harness open button.

Oh gfarce that's just an e-stop evacuation.

Obviously.

Everytime I open the harnesses it won't let me dispatch no matter how immediately I press one after another. I hope the 1.8 update didn't patch this glitch.

hi i made a video

I guess AJ wins it then? Haven't heard from NightwindElf...

This contest/topic is so dead. It's like 4 people having a conversation and making some stand-ups for fun.

Better than my topic for the ride started on NL-E though lol. That was just a 2-way conversation.

better than the contest i tried to make a while back

i had 1 entry yay

^I don't remember you doing a contest....

I've been a bit busy with my current project, and this fell off the front page. Congrats to AJ for winning! Yay!
