Round Three


http://rollercoasterpro.com/gallery/at/spinball/02.jpg

Objective:
[You are a designer that will build a layout for the manufacturer.]

A relatively large park, which attracts over 1.5M guests annually, is looking to build an adrenaline-filled spinning roller coaster attraction that offers mild to moderate thrills, to boost annual attendance. The coaster will be contracted to the firm of your [the designers] recommendation (i.e. - Maurer Shone, Mack, Gerstlauer, etc). The attraction must be in the range of 1200-1500ft in length. The park requests that the ride cycle at least 24 guests. You may decide how you want to achieve this: be it two trains, with three cars for 12 guests each, 24 total, or do six individual ride vehicles. You may even choose another configuration. It is your choice, however, if you use more vehicles, be sure to have the layout blocked accordingly so trains do not stagger.

There is no stagnant height limit, however the park says the lower the attractions height the more aesthetic the park retains. You cannot build track outside the boundaries indicated by the markers, but you may however add supports outside (provided you do not remove any trees/foliage). You may not alter the terrain. You may add as many trees as you like for visual illustration, but the park will be adding their own landscaping after the attraction is built.

To adequately fit the layout of the park, the station must be somewhere inside of the box marked with a purple "X".

Remember, build within the parameters the park asks, yet be creative and realistic!

Good Luck!

I didn't realize the land area I made was so big in relation the length of the layout. That's my fault...

Wait, it can't go over 1500 ft? Dangit, I'm at 1900, I thought it was 2200 to 2500.

Ok so I tried a layout and I pretty much am horrible at these rides.. the car didn't spin one bit. Frusterating.

^To make car spin you have to highlight piece of track and edit it from there. I like my first run through. I was surprised, actually terrain this time.

I'm not sure if I feel like editing my layout, its really rad and bad ***. I might just make a new one or just not enter.

Yeah, I accidentally made the plot of land too large so it's deceiving.

The 1500 figure is because I estimated the average length of spinners was around 1350ft.

Would a Euro Fighter like Rock Bottom Plunge be fine?

Save your track as an element and re-insert it at like 95%

well, rcpro got down before the deadline so i don't know if submitting a track is still allowed..

here is mine i finished at 19.july

i did the track in a one and a two cars per train version..

the two cars per train still has blocking issues in the "station"

I had mine completed... but since the site going down, my computer is being repaired. Luckily I didn't lose any files, but I've been using my parents' computer for a while now. I'll post mine once my pc is up and running again.

The ride's name is Buzzsaw and I created it as if it was Dollywood's new coaster.
