I'm assuming the station building (but not the track) can extend outside the boundaries?

Yes the station can extend outside of the boundaries as well as custom scenery.

As long as the track and supports are in bounds then you are fine.

It's my first post on the forum but: I'm in..

[Blase Rhine]

Welcome to the forums!

Your name has been included to the contest. Good Luck!

Welcome to the forums jet scream

^ckidd if this goes well me and blase will be doing more!!

That all sounds really confusing. Downloaded the template. I??m all in.
The no inversion thingy and the unique element will be tricky.. but well,.. it will be done '

Edit: Well,.. to read correctly is sometimes a win. Solved the no-inversion problem already XD
Edit 2: Maybe a small tip,.. i copy and pasted the rules into the coaster description, so i don??t have to go back to check them =)

Are these supports fine?

^^ Magu, you're also in! Made a really good decision!

All I can say is good luck to all participants, instead of me the NL1 user.

I'm sorry but no. The footer must be inside the boundaries, not on or outside of them. My apologies for not being clear. I will change the first post to include this.

So to clarify any clearances will be checked in frozen state?

Another question ...can the station be repositioned or have it to remain in height and space as it is delivered with the template? Since there are boundaries i??m not sure. The height of the station is a bit high so i would either lower the station or increase the terrain height, if that is not against the rules.

ya, wth put me in.

I also wondered this, can you move the station? I assume no, but you didn't specify if it had to stay in the same spot.

The station can be placed anywhere as long as it is inside of the boundaries. When I built my "test" coaster, I found that putting the station where it was worked best for me. However you are more than welcome to move the station anywhere. Yes you may lower or raise the station depending on your design.



Hope this helps!

Remember everyone the deadline to enter is tomorrow so hurry and sign up!

Yes. This whole contest was introduced in the CC skype group chat by deere. I decided I wanted to Join in and host/judge and Oscar said it would be a great idea. Right now there is deere and I that are judging each coaster very thoroughly to pick the top 3 places.

The rating system by other members is not included in the final placements (Example: If a coaster has a 9.6 rating and another has a 8.3, The 8.3 rated coaster could possibly win due to our rating guide listed on the first post).

Can there be a Zamperla spinning coaster with -1.9 gs of Skyrush airtime in this contest?

[Blase Rhine]

Read the last rule.

Can the catwalks/handrails go outside of the area?

[Blase Rhine]

As long as the track and supports are inside the boundaries, yes.

Looks like a great contest!

[Dirk_Ermen]

Sure, I'll give it a try. Not sure if I get anything finished but compact coasters usually go fast for me.

Oh, can you do a conversion for the length and height requirements as well? To avoid any wrongly rounding up/down.
Also you mentioned we are allowed to move the station anywhere we like. But why do we have these x marked boxes in the template? What are they for?

[Blase Rhine]

That is for where the station was originally placed. You can move it wherever you would like. I just found it easier for the station to be placed there.
