davisal771 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) Cedar Point is looking for a new woodie to replace the rough and unpopular Mean Streak, and they've hired you for the job! They want to get started as soon as possible, and want your design in by August 21st for approval. Cedar Fair has put together a list of do's and don'ts for your coaster. Rules 1. Must be one of the 4 wooden coasters available in no limits, however it can be a hybrid (steel supports) 2. Must reach a top speed of at least 65 MPH. 3. Must stay within +/-4.5 Vertical and +/-1 Lat. gs. (You may go over, but you will be deducted points) 4. No transport track is allowed, unless used for transporting train from station-lift or brake-station 5. Must operate with at least 2 trains, any length. (E-stop tested) 6. Inversions are allowed. Everything else is up to you! There is no template. Scenery is allowed but it will not add to your score. Scoring Rubric: Up to 10 points for Technical (smoothness, etc) Up to 10 points for Fundamentals/Technique (Creativity) Up to 10 points for Thrill Factor Once again, the deadline is August 21st Track not submitted Track Submitted Possible entrant Entrants: 1.Sasquatch 2.thrillseaker92 3.HCLcoasters 4.the ghost 5.CCJared 6.RCT3D 7.gci2011 8.inflameswetrust21 9.james.sylvester 10.Rocket Rodder 11.Ace Of Spades Edited August 20, 2010 by davisal771 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatch Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I'll get a couple of ideas cooking first before committing... its safer that way! But seeing as every coaster I have uploaded here is some kind of woodie I might very well be able to achieve something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davisal771 Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 I'll make you a possible entrant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillseaker92 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Ill give it a go... I'm not great at NL but I'm better at wood coasters than steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HCLcoasters Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I'll try maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I'm in...finally a wooden coaster contest. Even though we will all be owned by sasquatch and his awesome wooden coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJClarke0912 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Hmmm, with the deadline of July 24, that means that pretty much everybody will use Wood Magic supports...which means that I don't have to support...which means I'm might be in. You don't have to put me on the list yet though, but consider me interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davisal771 Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 Well I'm gonna have 3 judges, and supports won't be judged much at all, considering we know how hard it is to support wooden coaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goliath513 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Sounds like a great idea...except for the part where inversions are allowed. With the whole SOB ordeal, Cedar Fair would do everything possible to distance themselves from the problems with that when building a new ride, the loop being one of them.

RollingRunner Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I'm interested, but put me on the 'maybe' list. Would it be possible to make the deadline somewhere near the first week of August? I don't really want to be in a mad rush to complete the track in one week. If you do, i'll join! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCJared Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I'll give it a go. No promises though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatch Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I think I'm definitely on to something... Hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.sylvester Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I'll give it a go . Deadline a bit soon though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rckrazy06 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I would give it a try, but I'll be on vacation all next week so won't have any time to work on it before the deadline. Good luck to everyone else though and I can't wait to see some of the entries when I get back. EDIT: Count me in if you decide to push the deadline back as a lot of people seem to be asking for that.

davisal771 Posted July 17, 2010 Author Share Posted July 17, 2010 I think I might push it back a bit. Perhaps August 1st? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollingRunner Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I've been caught up in a few other plans so I won't be able to compete anymore. Sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gci2011 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I'm in, not promising anything terrific, but I'll give it a try. How many points are deducted if the G's go over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gci2011 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I'm in. Been working on something like this myself anyway the past few days. Not promising anything terrific, but I'll give it a try.

davisal771 Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 ^It will really depend on the severity. If you have one G spike for a split second that isn't very high then I won't count it (Really just need to wait 'till judging day). But if I see constant spikes of 100+ (I've seen it before, just look at some of the low rated coasters over at nolimits exchange ) I've added everyone to the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the whole SOB ordeal, Cedar Fair would do everything possible to distance themselves from the problems with that when building a new ride, the loop being one of them. I had thought about that, but I figured not many would be making them, plus, I didn't want to just completely rule out inversions, as I don't care either way.
