mattnmatt Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Last time I checked it had been a while since there was a NL contest... So I figured why not? Time for one! This contest is going to be very simple, and should be lots of fun for everyone! Here are the rules... ...Coaster... - Must be a X-Car coaster. - Trains must be either 1 car, 2 cars, or 3 cars. - Must be a full circuit. - Must be able to run at least 2 trains. - Must pass the E-stop test, and tunnel test. - Must not have any pos. neg. or lat. "red" g's. - Must have a top speed of at least 60mph. - Must be realistic. - Must not above 200ft. - Track must stay inside of template, supports, and scenery may extend out side of the template. - Track must be uploaded to this site no later than December 18th 2009. ...No No's... - No 3ds things... This coaster needs to be something anyone can build to make it fair! - No Shuttle Coasters... Remember it must have at least 2 trains. ...Bonus For... You will receive 5 bonus points for each of the following for a max of 25 bonus points. - Having a launch, and a lift. - Having an element that has never been seen before. (These elements must be a different color from your ride so we know where they are.) - Having a drop beyond 85*. - Having 4-5 trains. - Running 4-5 trains without stacking more than 2 trains. - Having a great island location... So break out that terraformer! - Having a "Skyloop" element. - Having dual loading stations. IE: Top Thrill Dragster, Maverick, SheiKra. - Having 2 inverisons that are NOT a loop or corkscrew. (Not including the skyloop) - Having a transfer track, with storage tracks. (Yes it can be done with supports, remember no 3ds) ...Judging... - When a coaster is uploaded I will review it, if you fail to meet the initial criteria you will be disqualified. You only get 1 chance. Once your track is uploaded that is it. No revisions will be made. - Once your coaster is uploaded and I test it to make sure it passes the initial criteria it will be placed in a poll on this site for the public to vote on. ~Matthew ...Who's Playing... -hyyyper -Vekoma Fan Boy template.nltrack
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 I'm in. Also, would you consider stacking to be 1 or 2 empty trains sitting in a layover section between the load and unload stations?
mattnmatt Posted November 19, 2009 Author Posted November 19, 2009 I'm in. Also, would you consider stacking to be 1 or 2 empty trains sitting in a layover section between the load and unload stations? That would not be consider stacking. Stacking would be two loaded trains sitting on the brake run waiting to enter the station.~Matthew
dr.gumbo Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 I might have a try. Not sure if I'll finish anything, like.
kumba830 Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I'll give it a try! (haven't done a contest in FOREVER)

themeparkologist Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 Um...........i thought the due date was tomorrow? No progress? Anybody even try? I really wanted to see some of these! Sorry if this is a dead thread and i'm posting to it.
Koolkid Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 I have a awesome layout , but I've struggled to find time to sort out the G's and to support it.
thrillrideseeker Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 WOW... I am so glad everyone got their entires in on time... Well regardless, thank you to those of you who tried!! Sorry this contest ended in disaster! Have a Merry Christmas all! ~Matthew
themeparkologist Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Wait just a second...I havent seen a single entry. Did they just PM to the creator of the contest?
kumba830 Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 I had a pretty decent ride going on, but my PC crashed and I switched to Mac. Thus I did not have NL available to complete it. Sorry I couldn't get my entry in!
KrakenKing Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 I have a track made, the final turn isn't banked correctly and I'm too lazy to fix it... also too lazy to support the ride. But the track is done. template_120.nltrack
