So the skype chat thought it'd be a good idea for a compact coaster. The template ended up being this:

Track must be in 10x40m from the top down view
Supports must be in the 10x40 below 5m, may only extend 3m above that
Station may extend 5m out from the template
Bonus points for over 140km/h

I'll be streaming my build in 20 minutes (1:30pm PST)

Come join me! Or attempt your own ride :D

Well poop, if you can't do it, then I have lost motivation. Unless I felt like making a Wacky Worm.

Maybe 20x20 would be more possible? it comes out to the same amount of land area
What are these for?

I tried to go wingrider on this:

10m is too small for a decent attempt with the wingrider. :lol:

Perhaps 500m2 total area (you can form this however you like) would be an interesting restriction?

That sounds pretty big again. Seeing 40m x 10m is only 40m??????

I guess I'm going to slight double the size. So 50m x 20m. That seems more reasonable for a wingrider. :mrgreen:

Maybe make it so the track can leave the area, but supports can't? And make it smaller, maybe 40 feet by 90 feet. I'd have a really could Idea for it then.

Edit: The track would only be able to leave the area above 30 feet.
All hail your great Arrow Dynamics overlords.
