Tight Fit Spinning Coaster Contest



Concept:
A small time park is looking for a new coaster. Unfortunately, there tight on money and can???t afford to waste any space. Your job is to design the best spinning roller coaster you can.

-Groups are allowed but only two people per group.
-Custom Content is allowed: Custom scenery, Custom Skyboxes, Colors, Terrain Alteration, Themes and Names are up the creator.

I'll give it a shot.

Is this enough airtime in the very back car for a jet coaster like zamperla spinning coaster?

I am not entering by the way.

I will not win, but I'm going to give it a shot. I like challenges like this.

[mkingy]

Sounds fun! I'm in, also can we define inversion?

Im not a very good designer but why not! Ill have a go.

not sure if i'm going to join, but could you post the speeds in km/h.
I could calculate myself, but to make sure everybody uses the same limits i think it's better if they are already in the rules.
It wouldnt be the first time that some people had miss calculated.

Challenge acepted! I want to play!

One question... What are maximum dimensions?

The maximum dimensions are in the park file provided.

Yeah do that because people intuitively round differently.

This is over my exam period, but I'll try and fit an hour or so in during the late evenings when I'm not doing much anyway. I'll do it for some fun Count me in!

It's been official CoasterCrazy contest policy for years that an inversion is any piece of track with banking over 155 degrees in either direction.

Of course! Here are the speeds converted to km/h. They are rounded up or down depending on the numbers after the decimal. The first post has also been edited to convey this information.

35 mph-56 km/h
4 mph- 6 km/h
7 mph- 11 km/h
50 mph- 80 km/h



To answer the question about the inversion. Anything over a 155 degree bank is considered an inversion.

If anyone has any other questions just ask!

count me in.

I am using the template for my own fun challenge.

That's brilliant news Meta, I'm sure your more than aware that a new member won't have been on CoasterCrazy for years to see this contests! Having them in the initial post gives great clarity and makes sure everyone knows the rules and not just those who have been here a long time.

Hey! Would anyone be willing to team up and help with making a logo and car textures?

I was stating it in a simple, matter of fact manner (for those very same people who wouldn't otherwise know) because it originally wasn't stated in the rules (it has now been edited to reflect this information). Furthermore I didn't write the initial post so I don't see how it's relevant to my post.

[Coasterkidmwm]

I'm assuming the station building (but not the track) can extend outside the boundaries?

Count me in! This sounds awesome!

Its been a long time since we've had a contest, I'll give it a shot
