Challenge: The Capacitor |RCT2|

[timetrial3141592]

While a lot of you have moved onto "bigger and better" things (like RCT3, which I recently shredded), I know that everyone has a soft spot for RCT2. In this vein, I want to see the best fairground coasters you can do.

 

The Rules:

 

1) Use the workbench provided. You may not build in the mountains; this is a FAIRGROUND coaster, not a theme park coaster. Any terrained coasters will be disqualified.

2) No adding more custom scenery; I am at my limit already.

3) Allowable ride types: Looping, Inverted, Compact Inverted

4) No more than two stations.

5) MUST run at least four 6-car trains (on Looping) or 7-car trains (on the two inverted types)... more is better. (If I can do 7 trains, then you can do four.)

6) Make it look appealing... no sense in having all the good bits buried in the ride, out of view of onlookers.

7) Must invert at least three times. I am going by "inversion count" on the Stats page.

8) Make it compact.

 

Scoring will be as follows:

 

Capacity: 40 points

Appeal Factor: 25 points (How would it look if you were standing right in front of it? Look at Schwarzkopf's designs. He knew how to draw the punters in.)

Station: 10 points

"Flow": 15 points (e.g. does it keep its speed?)

You may get bonus points for any of the following: Station fly-throughs, swing-outs (once per ride, the track may leave the "box"), and inversions beyond the minimum.

 

If full trains "stack" more than once per ride-through (1 train completes the course = 1 ride-through), then you lose points. HOWEVER, "stacking" may occur where riders are not on the trains. (For example, you may have an exit-only station, a bunch of block segments, and then an entrance only station. The trains waiting to enter the entrance-only station are not "stacking" by the "lose points" definition.)

 

This shouldn't be too hard. I will accept up to three designs per entrant. These three must be in the same saved-game file.

Looping Stat, Well it's a compact SLC with A BONUS HELIX!!!!!!!!

I actually do like Wired. It is creative, and the only problem that I can see with it is that you stacked trains. It's always good to see someone actually using the custom scenery I put in there.

Here's my own entry. (This will not be part of the contest, as there might be a conflict of interest, seeing as I am the judge.)

Funfer Looping, a five-loop, seven-train Schwarzkopf. (The camera screwiness is completely unintentional.)

The file.

Redunzelizer, a 4-looping custom SLC.

Euro Scream, a multi-looping invert (also 7-train operation.)

The stacking is not that bad it olny stacks 1 train (on test run) and it's only stacked because it's closed.

Oh. That makes sense.
