Well I just came up with a whole new idea. out with the old and in with the new I guess.
Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

@haddock: Sure, you can post teasers. Also, trenches may be up to 5 feet deep and 10 feet wide, to allow the track spine of very low to the ground track to clear the ground. However, water is not allowed, and neither is any raising of terrain.

@gazag: Any point at which the track is banked more than 155 degrees relative to the banking at which the train leaves the station (0 or 180 degrees, depending on whether you're building a Vekmoma or a B&M), is considered an inversion. Example: If the track contains a lie-to-fly, and then a fly-to-lie, with no other inversions, it will be considered to have one inversion.

Fine. Intamin makes rides with a similar track shape. now guessing it is only worth 75 points.

Yeah, I'd assume Gerstlauer. Eurofighters are perfect for this contest.
