DBru Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 ^Lol, thanks for the support. But nope, it is 100% handbuilt. (Just like everyone else' in this contest will be...well, according to the rules, anyway.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pruje Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Those look really cool. How did you get those "normal" looking hilly/backgrounds? Are those some kind of hack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCJared Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 They are custom environments. It's not a hack at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xpress Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Methinks CCJared needs to post a tutorial on how to create an environment, or at least teach me Meanwhile, I'm at my MCBR! I have not a lot left to add, like a thousand feet. Then the custom support work will begin. Sofar, I've got about 20 feet customized, so i still have another 3,080ft. to go...........

CCJared Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Well it's going to be tough to get it in on time, but I'll sure try my hardest. Even if I don't make it in for the contest I will be releasing this ride for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolkid Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 This is mine I honestly believe this meets the target of being a wooden roller coaster riders will fear but enjoy and come off thrilled to the max. I'm not as experienced as many of you and haven't mastered creating glass smooth tracks yet but I really think this meets the criteria set.

Xpress Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 ^You would be suprised at how a woodie is constructed. Think circles and parabolas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkman25 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 ^^ Just a heads up, but the track needs to be able to pass a tunnel test and I don't think yours does. I tried doing it myself to check and I couldn't get it to work, but just calling to your attention that on the second half of the ride a mountain goes through part of the catwalk.

CCJared Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 It fails with 1 terrain & 1 footer collision. Remember you test woodies with both the wood and steel tunnels. If it passes with one of the two it's a pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr.gumbo Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Here's my rate for Koolkid's ride: What I liked -The twister/terrain approach of the layout. -The pacing was good. -I actually found it quite fun. What could be improved -The layout had no sense of planning i.e. it was a mess. -Some of the elements were far too big. -The supports were an Auto-generated mess. -Lifts/brake runs weren’t straight. -The forces were too unrealistic. -The turns had no lead-ins as far as banking is concerned. -Some elements were taken far too fast. -The track work was quite sloppy with a lot of pumps and inconsistent track shaping. -The terraforming felt rushed. My Verdict Clearly, you aren’t the most experienced contestant in this challenge but it was a refreshing entry none-the-less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric_Smith Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 Announcement In light of two early entrys and other members critiquing them, I, along with all 3 judges, have decided that once you say that "this is my entry", that is your entry.

Xpress Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I now have a little over 1/4 of my track supported.It's Wood Magic, but different, like, realistically different.. I NEED TO HURRY UP!!!!!!!! Actually, I can knock out these supports in just a couple days, if I get at it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
