2016 CoasterCrazy No Limits 2 Tournament! RESULTS POSTED

Just a thought before I get too far in my creation, do you have a preference in which style we do the supports? Say we have B&M designed by Vekoma, would it better to support it as a traditional B&M or Vekoma coaster?

B&M if it's a B&M no?

What counts as an inversion for a 4D coaster?

I guess the inversion of the rails.

Here is an update of my coaster. I added a camelback supported as those we found on the Togo Ultratwisters.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD put these TOGO and RCCA trains on it if you are making a togo and rcca coaster!

What have you talked about cool5?







PS: A friend made it for me while I was supporting my camelback.

It is looking very good. It just needs the padding to fill in the spaces.

What do you mean? Where do it needs padding?

Here where circled and the cars need that black covering that I circled also.

I txt blase and he said the following:

"An inversion (not counting seat rotation) So loop, Immelmann, Raven turn, etc."

If you need further clarification, let me know so I msg him.

B&M if it's a B&M no?

I'll paste my reply to a similar question on NLE:


Depending on which two manufacturers you choose, you must be true to one of their supporting styles. As the supporting judge, I'll be looking for accuracy, quality, and innovation (though for the first round I'll be lenient....if your track is fully supported in a reasonable manner, you'll be fine by me). So no, it doesn't matter if he's using Vekoma supports for a B&M, as long as those are his two manufacturers. If he were making an Intamin/Giovanola and used arrow supports, that would be against the rules as it brings a third manufacturer into the mix. hope this helps clarify things a bit.


As for inversions......same way they've always been....judged by actual track banking of 155 degrees or more

So Finally, I dont wanted to be favored so I made a real tunnel. A part of that tunnel is over the top of a crest so I think, I'm good with the rules.

A little preview, Get your ticket to space!

So for the tunnel, is it OK if it covers a valley AND a crest, like the tunnels towards the end of Magnum or Wild Thing or other hypers? Or no valley/straight section at all?

Also, I don't fully understand how you are judging on blending manufacturers and how this is different than, say, designing a B&M inverted coaster and simply changing the coaster style to a woodie (for example). Can the tracks be something of a hybrid between the two, or are you looking for a full TOGO track with intamin trains if you blow at building TOGO?

Yes thats fine

and you have to take two specific manufacturers. Such as B&M and GCI and take inspiration of the two. If you make an B&M invert and add wooden supports to it then that wont score as many points as someone who made an invert as a GCI woodie. You can cross trains such as arrow track and a B&M train for an example.

Well with a layout I really enjoy, and track work that I'm moderately ok with, all I have left is supports and scenery

[Coasterkidmwm]

Yeah I've made two turns and a loop so far lol

Unfortanately I feel like mine became more of a launched mega looper than a Storm Runner- Mega Looper love child.

[Coasterkidmwm]

It's okay. I'm doing a Schwarzkopf intamin LSM coaster and it's um.....special

This is my project!

I have to drop out, college work's been a nightmare

Welcome to college lol

Well, I had to scratch my original design because the result wasn't looking good at all, so I'm hoping I can still get something done by the 9th. I've got an idea, I just hope I've got time to build it in the next week.
