Your Mission
We have gaven you a plot of land with unlimited space to use. Your mission is to use this plot of land to build the world's best Arrow Suspended coaster. However, there is a catch.... On this plot of land is 10 tunnels on edited terrain. You must use your creative skills and build your suspended coaster thru all 10 tunnels. Sounds simple?! There's more, your suspended coaster must be the world's longest, tallest, and fastest suspended coaster, based on real world stats. That means your coaster must surpass 3000 ft in lenght, 138 ft in height, and 61 mph in speed. If you choose to except this mission, reply to this topic. You have intill Sept. 9th at 11:59pm (est) to complate your mission.

Q&A
Q:I've got a question regarding the height. What determines that exactly? Lift hill height, longest drop, total height difference, height above the flat ground?
A: The lift height equals the distance from base of the lift to the very top of the lift, in other works from the lowest point to the highest point on the lift. Only one lift hill needs to exceed the 138ft height limit.

Well, I'll give it a try. Put me on the list.

Pretty interesting. For the lenght and hight, do you mean 138 feet high or over
and 3000 feet long or over? let me know.

[Dirk_Ermen]

sounds fun and diffcult, i'll try [:)]
Put me on the list!

I edited those requirments above. They are:
- Height: 138ft or higher
- Lenght: 3000ft or longer
- Speed: 61mph or faster

[Dirk_Ermen]

are launches allowed?

No launches, lift hills only.

Im in!

Okay, I've got two questions:
1. Can we place more tunnels as scenery/theming?
2. How many points will be deducted if there is ONE single spike of 2.6 lat-g's to the right?

1. You can not place more of the tunnels used in the contest, however you are welcome to use your own 3D models(including custom tunnels) as scenery or themeing.

2. It depends if the g's force can be advoided, and/or how long a person is exposed to those high g's.

i wanta do try it!

I guess I will attempt this

[Dirk_Ermen]

can we move the station?

- Station can be moved anywhere on flat ground

It says that you can, and I did, so that better not be incorrect. If it is, my entire coaster is a failure...

Oops i guess i mis-readed the rulez [B)]

shaggszgn, I sent you an e-mail with ver. 1 of my contest entry just in case you didn't get it.

It's too hard. I suck at SM anyways. Count me out.

[Dirk_Ermen]

i think i can't enter this contest, i'll try my best to get the track done...

I just decided to drop out. I just got hit with personal problems and to deal with my
own personal situatin:(

I basically have like 3 days and I think I could do something...who knows.

Wee peoblem here...I installed the new SM and now, the tunnels are gone.

I have even checked in the SM Object Editor, and it shows up in there, I even made a duplicate and saved it to another type to get it to show up in the objects in the SM editor...no go. They dont show up in the park because they wont even load to use. Anyone else have any issues?

I was ok a tight schedule anyways...this probably puts me out.
