What coaster type are you using Skyscraper?

Gerst Bobsled.

I'm in if I am still alowed to join xD

If I can get something together before I leave for Florida in a couple weeks, I'm in. This is going to be a tough one, but I think I've got a pretty good idea.

Would it be classed as cheating if i PM'd someone the file and asked them to make a bridge out of supports?
(to go across the support structure)

I'd prefer you do your own work. Unless other contests believe I'm being too strict, I'll say no, but you're free find and receive help with that sort of thing; just do it on your own.

I'm quite tempted on just importing my old NL1 ride: Y2Z. But I would need to find my NL1 files first.
It was a mini traveling launched maurer ride. I believe the template was something like 30m by 20m or so. Really tiny, yet still awesome.

Edit: Found it and imported:

That looks genuinely horrifying - I love it

Tunneltest is like pitch perfect. Everything is literally cm away from the clearance envelope.

Little update on my creation thus far:

Some support work

Some layout

Just about 5 days left! Send submissions to kgadaw2@uic.edu

Just submitted my entry! *breathes a huge sigh of relief*

To those that have submitted, check your inboxes again for comments and suggestions. Anyone: feel free to submit now. I can give you constructive feedback to aid and polish your final submission.

Copenhagen somewhat scuppered my plans to finish this submission in time. Only need to create some sort of makeshift station to finish it but that might not happen until Tuesday/Wednesday!

Might as well finish and submit. I only got two submissions, so why don't we extend this deadline out to this upcoming sunday?

[Dirk_Ermen]

Welp, had no time to make any additional edits other then to make it run compatible in NL2. I guess I'll submit whatever I have. ^^;;

Final Pictures

Will be on the exchange in the future - I think I want to do a proper job with the station and tweak a few things before full release!

Great job on the supports.

Check your email for any fixes/suggestions I have offered to reduce your chance of a low score/no score!

That's some fierce competition, yikes! I can't wait for the results.

Yeah - 4 (?) submissions isn't so bad given everything else happening in NL2 atm. I know there were some other people doing some stuff too that hasn't been submitted, looking forward to the results!

I hadn't enough time to finish my coaster, here is what I got:

Are we allowed to upload our entries to the Exchange, or should we wait until judging has finished?

If you'd like to upload, go ahead. I'll steer my eyes away from any ratings given as to not bias the scoring.

Pifke: you do have until Sunday night if you've got some free time.
