Ish Im sure if you contact any of the woody fans here they will explain about CCI to you in detail. Like IntaminFan, TConwell, Tyler, Bobcoaster, Jayman, and then theres me!!!!!! But im not the greatest at making woodies so its better to contact one of the first people i said, lol. Like IntaminFan said they were a huge coaster company dealing in wooden coasters. In the link I.F. gave it shows all there coasters, If you study the pictures of them you my notice the sort of style CCI had. A couple of years ago they stopped trading though. It was a very very very sad day!!!!!

I still don't understand why you didn't just post your track on the exchange...

Oh, and the reserves are the highest ranked losing tracks. So in the next round, the best losing tracks from this round will take the place of a would-be winning track from a group without a submission. Sorry, Edge man. [:(]

Basically, ish, you just need to be sure to have a good combination of low-banked curves with good lateral g's, floater air, and ejector air.

And a pre-lift inversion. It's my favorite CCI element. Too bad Gravity Group doesn't do pre-lift inversions...[:(]

I was joking about the pre-lift inversion, just incase you didn't know...


That'd be funny though, if ish is currently redisgning the beginning of his ride, and including a Jojo roll because of my comment about CCIs with pre-lift inversions. Then everyone starts laughing and making fun of him because of it....and he mentions how I told him that CCIs have pre-lift inversions, and people start saying how I can't tell a steel coaster from a wood coaster, and WWS and fellow staff members laugh at me and say I don't know enough about wood coasters....so then I'm banned from WWS, and I try desperately to say how the pre-lift inversion on CCIs claim was a joke, but I am IP banned, am never able to access the coaster world of WWS ever again....

[shocked]

Man. I just woke up and the new forum page has five pages already. Good luck to everyone. And good luck to myself. I suck at building on large scales. 50m is just way too high for me. Oh well, I'll make due.

I have a quick question, does the layout have to be EXACTLY CCI-esque, or can it be a little more original? Cause I have an awesome coaster so far, but it doesn't exactly follow a CCI coaster layout. Just wonderin cause I don't want a lot of points taken off.

Good luck other people![dorkhat]

Contest is going to McFly probably. I rode Rover over and over again, and for a second, I thought it was a real ride some where. Really realistically built. In fact, have used it to help improve my designing.

i've just finished the lyout.
i'm going to smooth it out a bit.
then the difficult part will come:

but i'll try my best.

Knowing that, I'm pushing myself to the extreme to make my coaster, Zombie. But still, what the hell...if I manage to make it to the next round (highly...HIGHLY doubt it) you people at least got my best coaster so far.

Oh, and can I use a transport? I'm stuck without one! xD [dorkhat]

Woodies dont really have transport sections though. Im stuck, i have been struggling at making woodies now aswellk for the past few months since shadow rider. Its just like a dead spot, i get to a certain place and cant make anything good. I have a turn around, lift hill, drop, airtime, huge turnaround, huge drop, huge airtime hill, small airtime hill and then im stuck. [V] Oh well something will come. Actually ive just thoguht of something while writing this, but im not sure if it will work, or even if it will be safe, lol. yes TJ im glad you're not in this one too! [lol] I would say McFly is the one to be worried about, then tyler, ive never seen one of busters woodies ever so cannot say.
