Unofficial contest: Maurer Compact Launched X-Car

[hyyyper]

Hello fellow NoLimiters! I have a task for you...
I am holding a contest to see who can make the best launched Maurer S?????????hne X-Car coaster! I'd like to see what kind of coasters all of us amateur enthusiasts can think of!


Rules:

-There must be a launch the beginning section of the ride.
-The ride must invert at least 2 times but no more than 4.
-The maximum height must be between 60 and 85 feet (18.3-25.9 meters). THIS IS FROM THE SUPPORT LINE! (this means that it must remain a certain height above the supports on the template that also set the boundaries) For those who have already begun without knowing this, there will be no penalty
-The maximum speed must be between 48 and 62 mph (77-100 km/h).
-There must be 1 moment of ejector air, but no more (-1.0 G's or below).
-Each train must be either 1 or 2 cars, and the track must accommodate 2 or 3 trains.
-The ride must be within the given 60?????????x80????????? space (18.3Mx24.4M).
The template is available here: http://coastercrazy.com/track_exchange/detail/18446

Ways to impress me:

-3D objects and scenery
-Handmade supports


To submit your ride to this contest, post your ride to the exchange and leave the link as a comment! All submissions must be left by Monday, September 26. I'm not sure when the results will be posted, but I will make sure to get back to at least the winners! Make it as best as you can! Good luck!

I approve this unofficial contest. Have fun everybody.

What do you count as an inversion? the standard 155 degrees or more or something else??

this contest is actually pretty challenging. I'm assuming the terrain is unchangeable? if so thats awesome cuz its a downhill (or uphill depending on how you look at it) template.

does a non inverting loop count or the non inverting side loop count..?

Hmm, I think I'll give this a shot

I'm in ;)

Must be a complete circult??????????????????

It's got to run 3 trains dude, so yeah I think it does.

I'm in! Been waiting for another unofficial contest to roll around! [:D]

Sweet needed a reason to finish a track.

Uh, the template shows a space that is about 120 meters by 90 meters. Which measurements should we use. Also would hang time count as ejector air or not. And finally is the max height measured above the base of the editor or above the terrain.

Since when did compact take on the definition of spread out? Lol. I'll probably get in on this.

so does a non inverting loop count as a inversion or no

It's a good question because different people define a loop by different ways (by banking, looks, whatever). Definitions are important.

ill have a go too, nice and quick coaster as i go away for a week in 12 days time

Me enter.

Count me in! When are submissions due?
EDIT: Nevermind, I tried reading everything for a change.

Yeah I suppose.

OH just to be clear, the height is from the support line. It has to be that high above the supports.

I would like to enter, but with school starting Tuesday, I may not finish in time. Would it be okay to enter but not submit?

thats why i am asking, i plan to use a non inverting side loop like on time machine and was wondering if that would work since it is counted as a inversion but non inverting loops and side loops are loops with the tops cut out..
