Euro-Fighter Contest [NL]

[CCJared]

No it is not. Thorpe Park's new Gerstlauer has a Prelift that has a JoJo roll. so its all good.

[jarmor]

^ Ditto!

[CCJared]

Well i am now in, i like the template and have great vision.

[DBru]

^^^To add to that, most of Mystery Mine at Dollywood is pre-lift track...

[thrillrideseeker]

Thank you guys! Now at least I know my coaster is realistic!! Oh and if you guys want you can post construction pictures and updates about your coaster!

~Matthew

[jarmor]

Unrealistic is like having transport track in an inversion or something like having the station 100ft in the air from the start!

[ArrowHater]

Here are some previews=]]

 

"Capacity"

Is the name of the ride

 

-What would it feel like shooting up the drop of a Gerstlauer?

 

Well this new one-of-a-kind coaster is now here at SixFlags magic mountain!

 

In place where the former Phsyclone used to be.

 

 

-105 FT Drop

 

-0-52 MPH launch in 1.5 seconds

 

-High speed rush you wont forget!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[DBru]

^That looks really good!

 

I've tried 2 designs, and I don't like either one of them, I guess I'll start a new one tonight...

[ArrowHater]

CAPACITY

 

"Can you feel the rush!?"

 

 

 

 

heres my track!!

 

Im finished!

Capacity.nltrack

Capacity - Can you feel the rush?!

[DBru]

The layout was really good! BUT, I'd try to fix some of those pumps before the designs are due...

ArrowHater!! Great track!! I love the launch! Great idea! There were just a few problems! It fails to pass the tunnel test in 3 places, and it does not pass the e-stop test, plus the kicker wheels on the turn at the end of the ride should not be there. Just work on your coaster a bit more and I think it will pass the guidelines for the competition!

Don't feel bad! I have gone through 8 different layouts and I still have not found one I like! Just keep trying!

Man... now I have to place my station somewhere else and move my transfer track. J/K!

~Matthew

[ArrowHater]

I think I fixed the problems

Capacity.nltrack

[thrillrideseeker]

Alright... so I downloaded your new version, and there are still a few problems.

The problems are:

--Places Of Red G's--

- You have red G's going into your first hill.

- You have red G's at the bottom of your first hill.

- You have red G's at the top of your first inversion.

- You have red G's in the middle of your first inversion.

- You have red G's in your second inversion.

- You have red G's going into your mid-course.

- You have red G's in your corkscrew after the mid-course.

 

--Places That Fail The Tunnel Test--

- The bottom of your first inversion.

- Right after your corkscrew.

 

--Transport Devices--

- Your mid-course does not need a transport device. Your coaster should be able to be E-stoped and make it through the rest of the ride with no transport devices.

- The turn in your break run does not need transport devices at all. Just leave it as normal track.

 

I think that is about all. Try to fix these problems and your coaster might be ready for the contest!

~Matthew

[ArrowHater]

ok

 

i fixed some ; but before you tell me.

 

Have you tried checking the "Improve Friction" button?

 

I think that helps alot.

[thrillrideseeker]

Good Try!! Still a few problems!

 

--Red G's--

- Your G's go red when your coaster starts going up the first hill.

- Your lat. G's go red on the first drop.

- Your lat. and pos. G's go red on the top of your first inversion.

- Your G's on the turn going into the mid-course.

 

--E-Stop Test--

- Your coaster fails the E-stop test. When you E-stop the coaster on the end break run it does not speed back up. Try sloping the break run.

 

--Mid-Course--

-You need to take of all transport devices on your mid-course. Just leave the breaks, and try sloping your break run.

 

--Tunnel Test--

- Your coaster does not pass the tunnel test after the first loop. There is a tree on the right side that enters the tunnel.

 

You asked about the improved friction button. My computer always selects improved friction but I checked just to make sure and it is selected. Just try to work on your track work a little bit. There is no rush... you have until the end of the month to enter your coaster so just slow down a little bit and make sure that your coaster meets all the requirements. Good luck!

~Matthew

[apsterling]

I'm in for it. Sounds like fun.

[DBru]

Okay, I've worked for hours on this, and all I have is this one stinkin' element! lol. The g's are somewhat high (no red though ), and it's a little pumpy. If anyone can help me (suggest how to make it smoother), that would be AWESOME!

 

Thanks!

Xcalibur.nltrack

So far, so.... okay. lol

The 1st element, inspired by jarmor (Thanks!)

[thrillrideseeker]

I...Well... It.... Umm... WOW!!! Just wow!! That was a very unique layout! I do not really have any ideas on how to help you. Your slow down on the breaks at the top was very dramatic maybe lower the deceleration G's, and you pulled red G's in your loopy thingy. I don't really know how you can fix it... just play around with it. You might want to move the coaster back a little because I don't think you are going to be able to support those loopy thingys while staying in the template. Good luck, and great start!

~Matthew

[DBru]

Oops! Yeah, I totally forgot that supports couldn't exit the template...

 

How do I move the whole thing?

 

(And where did you see red g's? I thought I got rid of the major spike... )

Dont worry about moving your coaster. I will just allow supports to extend out of the template. I have tried building mine and it is sooo hard to keep the supports in the template. So now EVERYTHING EXCEPT TRACK CAN EXTEND OUT OF THE TEMPLATE. and your red G's were at the bottom of the second loopy thing!

~Matthew

[DBru]

Thank you! I think you're the only person whose helped me with my coasters all day!

[thrillrideseeker]

Thank you! I think you're the only person whose helped me with my coasters all day!

 

Glad I could be of assistance! Just don't rush the coaster! You have quite some time left so just work on it a little at a time. We all know what happens when you rush a coaster

~Matthew

[CCJared]

Are we allowed to put trees out of the template?

[DBru]

So nowEVERYTHING EXCEPT TRACK CAN EXTEND OUT OF THE TEMPLATE.
