Buster.

That sounds wicked, looking forward to finding it in my mailbox [pshades]

Ok well if i cant have a vertical launch...what angle should i make the Angled launch be. What is the max angle before you consider it vertical....and if it is about the supports trust me you will get your share of custom supports on the rest of my coaster. So tell me the launch angle i need to have because i have some changing to do. Also, just because something hasn't been done, doesn't mean that it can't be done. I personally believe a vertical launch could be created in the future.

This contest is going to be great I can't wait to see te entries. Maybe we'll see "some" B&M and some other one's too.

The maximum angle is 60 degrees. You can also still choose to keep the vertical launch but it will cost you some points.

Well, I sure don't hope to see any B&M rides [:p] (People are restricted to Intamin Hyper only)

yeah - I haven't exactly started it yet - I'm still bouncing ideas around. I'm just gonna sit down this weekend and get it done....besides - they're not due till the 1st of march, so I have time to take my time and get a cool design

I have 100% completed my track including supports and extras now [;)] The supports have taken the most time, serveral hours i guess (doing it the ol' fashioned way) and ill submit shortly [;)]

what do you mean ""the old fashioned way"? is there an easier way to do it??? tell me if there is!!

my track is just about done.. here's the stats:

height : 256 (280 if you include spire)
track length:6623.71 feet
angle of drop: 90
angle of ascent: about 46 degrees
3 large camelbacks
1 overbanked butterfly loop
1 unbanked diveturn
3 bunny hops
1 tunnel
top speed: 85
average speed: about 50
coaster type: 1/2 out and back, 1/2 twister (twister part is hidden from public)
hits the breaks at 40 mph.
lateral g's: i belive 1.2 at its highest
positive: stays in green.. no yellow![:D]
negative: stays in green, no yellow again! [:D]
track vertices: 69
brake segments: 5
lift segments: 2
station: 1
track:62
ride time: 2 minuites 13 seconds
e stop works everywhere on the track [:D]
no train will ever stall in the mcbr or on the lift. ( i played the coaster for over an hour waiting for it.. didnt happen [:D])
this ride prooves that ya dont have to go a lot bigger to be a lot better!

.. now if only i can think of a name!

I think Edge is referring to a new tool for auto-creating supports, but from what I'm hearing, it's not all that great...thus, the "old fashioned way" would be by hand...am I correct?

there's a new tool!!! where can i get it?? (i already finished the supports for this ride so i'll use it on the next non competition one)

www.gravimetricstudios.com but you have to pay for it anyways. And tazanman you hit the nail on the head [;)]

como se dice "booyah grandma"? Anyway - I plan to have 100% custon supports - so....I should probably start on those - lol

ack, tarzanman! 100 % custom?! wow, im going against you so i'd better finish my supports too! ..what's your coaster like so far? have you heard anything from the other guy?


g force- i think you said that points would be taken off if the fps got slow.. how slow do they have to go for that to happen? there is a spot on my ride that gets down to about 10.. but only for one hill. how many points off do you think that would be?

Green: Track recieved
Red: The person dropped out
Orange: Problem with file
White: Waiting for track

coaster992001 - GFA, unless im mistaken, did not say he would take points off for low fps. Also you dont need to terraform, but it sometimes improves the ride.
Namesin green show people who have submitted tracks, and white is people who havnt. Also red name is someone who has dropped out of the comp.

lol at Shorty dropping out, he knew the competition was too good for him. This should be an intresting first round. My tracks bigger thans yours in every way WW, but then again size doesnt matter. Let the best track win

your right, it's not the size of the track that matters, it's how you use it[:p]

[GRIM.657]

GFA- i'm a little confused, in the next round, will we get a new objective or will we be building hyper's the entire time[?]

>[}:)]<<GRIM>>[}:)]<

We will get a brand new template and track style with each new round. Example: last year, the first round was to build a corkscrew coaster in a rectangular donut-shaped area. round 2 was to build an inverted coaster that went through 11 rings arranged in space on a 250ftX250ft area. Round 3 was to build a steel looping coaster in a given template.

ok, BTW i'm done with my coaster, and the supports for the lift, now i just gotta support the rest of the track
