I am totally in!

 

Also, are we allowed to move the track you have put in there?

The track, and station can be moved any way you would like to make room for a prelift!

^Uh...are you serious? I already have over 2,000ft of track and a MCBR built and AHG'd...but I moved the beginning to make room for a pre-lift.

 

Considering you didn't include that in the first set of rules, I don't think it is fair to add it in now.

[thrillrideseeker]

^ I figured it was common knowledge, but you are right. Since it was not in the first rules, then we will not make it a rule, feel free to move the station and track already in the template!!

I guess ill give it a shot.

 

Edit: some of those boxes are pretty close to the area you have the keep the coaster in and seem almost impossible to get the coaster through while keeping it in the designated area.

I have built a complete stand-up coaster that meets all the requirements of this contest! So it can be done! It might just be a little difficult!

[DBru]

^I would like to see it, because it seems quite impossible to me.

[thrillrideseeker]

OK! Since you guys see to think this contest is the end of the world, here is a screen shot to prove to you that it is possible. All my G's stay green, it stays inside the pink box, the track passes through all of the yellow boxes, and it has 3 trains. I am telling you guys that its not that hard!!

I have another question. My track goes through the yellow box but the top beam in that box goes through the tunnel... Is that ok?

[thrillrideseeker]

Oh yes! That is very ok! The yellow boxes do not count in the tunnel test. As long as some part of the coaster track goes through the yellow boxes that is all that matters!

~Matthew

[Eric_Smith]

Does this qualify?

Yes? No? I hope so!

[thrillrideseeker]

^Now as much as I want to say "Yes that counts!" I simply cant... I mean the track has to go through the box, not just touch the box. When I say the track has to go through the box, the track spine should at least be going through the box. Yours is really really close, and from what I can see it looks like a turn to me, so maybe just make the turn a bit larger!! So all in all... That does not count :-/ But you are close! Just move it a little so at least the MAIN track spine is going through the box!!

[4rturo]

I guess I can have some fun, so sign me in please!!

 

PS. I don't see any yellow boxes. they're all red!! and the pink area is actually quite reddish to me LOL

Just a fast question, It doesn't have to have a tunnel does it??

[thrillrideseeker]

Just a fast question, It doesn't have to have a tunnel does it??

It does have to pass the tunnel test, the only exception is the yellow boxes, it does not matter if those are in the tunnel, or if they hit the track, because eventually they will be removed!

^ I'm just wondering how the winner is going to be determined. Are you doing a poll or are you judging it yourself?

[thrillrideseeker]

^ I will check every coaster to make sure it passes the test's and everything, and then I will post a poll! The poll will run for one week, and then the winner will be announced!

~Matthew

[Eric_Smith]

Does this pass?

Better?

[jarmor]

The ENTIRE track must be in the box...not 2/3rds of it!

[DBru]

^I thought you were done with this.

[rckrazy06]

I'm pretty sure he said the spine does, so I'd say that counts.

[thrillrideseeker]

I'm pretty sure he said the spine does, so I'd say that counts.

You are very right! I know how tough it can be to get the entire track in the boxes, so yes... Eric_Smith's does count!

~Matthew

[Eric_Smith]

Thanks for confirming. I don't know what I would have done if that wasn't legal!

 

EDIT: I found another way...

[Eric_Smith]

Hate to double post, but can those who are finished email/PM you to see if our coasters qualify? I really wanna get rid of the lines and the boxes!
