Tree Top Challenge - Closed

Put me in. I'll try it. Idea is kinda fun.

I opened the template and somewhat refused to enter because you couldnt make a realistic wooden coaster with a lift and have any adrenaline. The restrictions are far too tight.

Especially when you can just launch a ride to like 60mph and go nuts. Youd need to allow more digging or more height to get a proper lift going for a wooden coaster. They just dont carry the same speed like say, B&M's do.

One word: Boulder-Dash!

I'm sure users would appreicate your design skills if you could make a coaster whihc isn't the same generic drop - loop etc etc standard layout [;)]

Damn. My coaster is way too small to have 3 trains. Well, never mind. Really nice contest idea. Thanks!

By the way I have a question. I didn't find an answer from the questions and answers section. Can i build two stations?

Yep

Edge! I've posted two tracks to you. Please use the update of the track.

Il well aware of good terrain coasters, but your terrain isnt hilly enough. Boulder Dash is built on the side of a hill/mountain foothill. Its got a 115ft drop. From the highest point to the lowest point on the template its under that. Plus, they were allowed to remove way more trees and because its built on a hill side, they could utilize more speed.

Theres not much in this template other than small hill crests, but no defined hill to climb up, go down and then sprawl on.


Dont get me wrong, great template, but you cant generate anything like a boulder dash from it.



I know users would appriciate it, but Im committed to another contest. While I think its possible, it would take alot of planning and design to get something that would appease me. Plus Id want an actuall hill to use and such, not mounds

hm.. thats odd, my ride reminds me a lot of boulder-dash.....with LIMS! hehe.

FINISHED

What a great time to get grounded. I'm going to have a total of four days to make this. I'm sneaking this message right now.

Boulder-Dash

that's a big coaster with a massive drop.
but anyways, the person's thing about not enough hight is not even a problem you really have to concentrate on. Its more of a tree issue.
As for finishing before deadline, I thinks its possible, but because I'm grounded right now, I won't be able to add the supports like I wanted to.

Here here.

Im dropping out (what a suprise). I have a presentation thats due April 1st at a state competition. If I do well enough, I go to Nationals in Orlando, Florida, so I'm doing alot of planning and practicing.

"big coaster with a massive drop"

er-no. boulderdash is a massive coaster, but the drop is only 115. the largest drops on my coaster are a 60 foot drop about 1/4 the way through and the second to last drop which is about 70 feet. so it is possible to build a coaster like boulder-dash, at least if you're only looking at the height of the drops.

2 questions:

1) My coaster is above the trees, but under the supportline (tallest treeheight).. is that okay?

2) My coaster goes trough the mountain, like a tunnel.. is that okay?

I know I've got to build under the tallest treeheight etc.. but these questions couldn't stop buggin' me..[;)]

erm, I have some major problems with my computer right now, I can't use it for more than about 15 minutes before it then resets itself for some reason, I also can't open NL editor or simulator so basically, I'm buggared with this competition. I may have to drop out of it altogether, I guess that doesn't matter so much because there is a lot of contestants in this one. *Massive sigh*, I'm writing this from school because obviously I have problems with my own computer, it shouldn't be too long before mother finally buys a new PC, but it certainly won't be before the deadline of this competition, which is a damn shame because I quite liked my track ... ahwell [V]

[hyyyper]

I once had this problem, we just reset the computer like "delete everything on hard disk", and it worked.
And it won't cost you a new pc...

[Dirk_Ermen]

you mean like format c? And re-install everything?

This is exactly the same which is happening with my computer. It randomly shuts off every 5-10 mins and i cant open NL at all. I even sent it off to a professioanl where they installed a mother board graphics card and other stuff but still nothing worked. If anyone has any insight into thow to fix this then please...lol

[hyyyper]

Just format every thing disk A till Z (older pc's only have A,C and D, my pc has got A till S excluding B).
Then reinstall....
btw how old is your pc?

Ive tried that several times with no effect

Could be a number of things, Bios settings kicking in if CPU gets to hot,Faulty RAM, The best thing to do is if you have a lot of hardware in the PC is to strip it to bare essentials then test it!. If it works ok then add another piece of hardware then test it!. Also what is the power rating of your PSU!

I had the same problem last year. Your going to have to clear off your hard drive and re-install your operating system. It some problem with the OS.

"big coaster with a massive drop"

er-no. boulderdash is a massive coaster, but the drop is only 115.

for what it is, I still consider it a massive drop.
My coaster is gonna be the gift that keeps on giving, sorta like diarrea

Well, I guess I'll be joining you gouldy. I'll be in Des Moines the day I am ungrounded and will be there till monday. We are playing our last tournament for the hockey season. This really sucks man. I would liked to have participated.
