It's been a while since I've seen a tight fit challenge, and those are good fun. I am also quite fascinated with layouts that try to so much inside a smaller footprint, and that in itself can be a puzzle. I tried a rough draft sample layout beforehand just to make sure it was possible to squeeze something decent in.

Rules are explained in the track info.
This is NOT a contest. This is just for fun. Right now this is the only one I have ready, but I am thinking about a Euro-fighter challenge as well.
If there is anything I overlooked, don't be hesitant to tell me. Maybe people can make their own challenge templates for others to try.

Anyone that wants to use this pit, please be sure to give me full credit if you do use it for your coaster projects. Thanks.

Dang, I made the rules say steel coasters only but I guess there's nothing stopping you from pursuing your desire [;)]
I'd like to see that.

Mine was FAR harder than this contest....

AJClarke0912 had the ONLY entry, and he got disqualified due to the length being a few hundred feet short.

Look up Compact Inverted Challenge.

It was the most bloody hell of a challenge ever conceived in NL.
It was HARD. Nobody won though.

This has been pretty fun so far. Making some nice progress.

Any ideas on what spine to use for the first mcbr thing? I like the strong, structural look of the looping box spine but I feel as if that is overkill. I don't want to use the 3 tube spine as it is ugly.


And, in case you were wondering, the turn out of the station and the lift hill were made in FVD++ to get that perfect lift angle and turn angle. The first drop and the rest of the ride is all handbuilt though.

This 4,735.28ft portable coaster should beat them all! It crams in two high G loops, a two level wild mouse section, three helixes, a fan turn section and a heartline roll among many dips and turns.

Should I host a "Can you support this coaster like a Pinfari contest?" After I get the Gs and tunnel testing finished on this one?

Oh okay.
You don't have to do anything specific nor is there a deadline. You can upload if you want or have someone test.

I'm pretty sure it's not a competition, just for fun.
