Tight fit B&M dive machine contest

I'm in I think. Quick question though, does it have to be Traditional B&M? without giving too much away my idea is what another type of ride would be like with Dive Coaster Trains

I'm having trouble moving my coaster around in the template. How do I rotas?te it 180 degree

I guess you can count me in

The whole point of a dive machine contest is to build a dive machine. While it's not a rule to make it a "traditional" dive machine, you may lose style points from other contestants.

have so much going on now but I want to do it. plus I suck at dive coasters.

I think most people signed up probably suck at dive machines. Myself included. Why not give it a shot?

Edit: While I'm out at Hershey tomorrow, Turbo will be taking care of any sign ups and giving out free hand jobs.

Well since B&M is doing LSM now, can it be a B&M launched diving coaster?

Impossible can be at best, possible in some years, so yes it can, I hope so! Manufacturers have shown their earth-shaking results so far!

I'm in!

the deadline is a bit close to the one from the tournament ... pity ;(
maybe ill try, but i wont promise to submit anything

Explain without interruption. Does this mean it can't stop during it's course, not even on a final break run or something? What about a break before a lift or a launch?
Oh, and can we put signs on the supports? I know it says you can't put 3DS anywhere on the track unless it interacts, but I think it would look nice having a sign that has the name of the ride on it on some supports somewhere.

Oh, and no trees inside then if it has to interact? No trees gives it a lifeless feel.

We can't have a path going to the ride inside the square?

Observation area? Photo booth? Queue Line?

Trees are ok inside the template.painting terrain is also ok. You may also use support railings and fences for technical details, but scenery to just look nice is prohibited unless it interacts with the ride. Please try to keep photo booths, etc out of the template.

Darn, I already put my path inside the template because I had quite a bit of space left in the template and had some benches for sitting on in there.
Can't you just ask for ratings to disregard scenery?

man it's a template lol having restrictions is what makes these contests fun

A template I got a basic layout down for and supports and noticed I had a great big huge gaping gap to the left.

I'm a bit confused about some of the stipulations, namely:

- Track may not go over or through the "fence" on the bottom of the template

and

- The station must start below the top of the "fence". (...)

Can you please clarify? Is it that shorter, vertical rectangle that you're calling a fence? So we can't have any track above it either? I seem to recall you saying somewhere above that one of the beams was meant to be deleted; which is it?

Thanks!

If you're going to cross the fence, it must go under. Not that hard to figure out.

Go to perspective view. Look for the fence. The top of it is at a certain height. The station may not exceed that height.

Without interruption means that the coaster must run without having to make emergency stops.

You still didn't answer my question; I still don't know what you're referring to as a fence, that's what I'm trying to ascertain. There's no need to be a dick about it, especially after you released a template with a mistake in it that may be part of what's causing the confusion.

Theres a vertical rectangle created with the beams thats the fence

i am sorry but i have to cancel my participation. There's too much to do in my job.
Additionally i have some ideas with the Dive Machine i want to realise, but i cant do that in this template.
Good luck to the contestants.

I edited the first post to reflect you dropping out.

So if I intend to have paths linking the ride station to the concourse then these have to be made out of supports & terrain painting or whatever? Or can I use some basic 3DS fences & paths?
