Round Two


http://xs126.xs.to/xs126/08174/voyage159.jpg

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

A relatively small seasonal park, which attracts just 750,000 guests annually, is looking to build an adrenaline-filled wooden roller coaster attraction that flies through dense brush and vegetation, to boost annual attendance. The coaster will be contracted to the firm of your [the designers] recommendation (i.e. - GCI, GG, Intamin, etc). Due to a small budget, the attraction must be in the range of 2600-3900ft in length and utilize only one (1) train. However, due to future capacity needs, the layout must be blocked to handle at least two trains when the park expands enough to purchase a second train. You may use fully articulating, two bench, or three bench cars, but the train must have a total of at least eight rows.

Due to zoning requirements the coaster cannot exceed 120ft in height and because the park has only prepared the given plot of land, you cannot build (both track and supports) outside the boundaries indicated by the markers. You may not alter the terrain. However, because the park has a large reserve of land, you may add as many trees as you like (that will be relocated from the parks unused land) to give the attraction that epic feel the venue is after.

To adequately fit the layout of the park, the station must be somewhere inside of the box marked with a purple "X". And as a last trick up the park's sleeve, the park asks that at least one portion of track goes over, via a bridge, the box marked with a turquoise "X". You may not add ground supporting anywhere in the area with the turquoise "X". This will eventually become a pathway/queue leading the station building.

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

Good Luck!

Supports can go in the blue box as long as there's no footers right?

Right. So long as there's nothing touching the ground in the box.

^Correct.

Sounds neat! I'll try to finish this in time. Entries are due one minute before my birthday. :smile:

EDIT: Hmm, I was thinking more of a mountainish Boulder Dash terrain...but, whatever.

This is an exciting round! I look forward to building a very exciting low riding wooden coaster! I'm thinking a GCI :thumbup2:

Great, now I have four NL projects going :stick_tongue:

Can't wait to see what some of the other people come up with, we don't see alot of woodies around rcpro.

Rocket, you actually have it blocked for three trains and not two, but I'm sure they won't mind.

EDIT: Nevermind

I like it Rocket, its pretty straight forward, nothing really to critique. Similar to mine right now, which is finished but wont be posted until later.

How do you make a bridge for the path?? and if I make a GCI woodie is it alright to use a drop like Renegade?? thanks!

Tom

With the bridge, what I did, was use H-beam supports that connected to main support structure and angle it so it reached across and had support for all of it. I would just say be creative, that goes with the Renegade-esque drop. Mine has a strong influence from Renegade so.

Easiest way: build the attraction with the auto-supports generator, then go back in and manually delete some the footers/supports. Then transform some structure with steel.

Ok cool, I got it. I changed my layout idea though, I am having G-force problems... So I am going to try another layout :sneaky2:

Apsterling. A few of the supports went outside of the bridge area which is out of bounds. And you need to take a train off.

Mine is comming slowly, but I love the unique layout so far :smile:

EDIT: Layout is done, now just to smooth and finish that darn bridge :p

My entry is coming. I'm having problems attaching it...

Edit: Here it is. Click Here (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZDJVMWS9). I don't prefer to use Megaupload, but the file is too big for this site.

^How do you download it? I can't seem to figure it out.

Also, my entry is coming along, I'm about 1/2-3/4 done with the layout, and I've already finished the bridge.

You have to enter the three letter code in the upper right. Then you'll have to wait for about 1 minute to download the file for free. That's why I don't like megaupload!

I made a track but I accidentally deleted the good file, I still have the old one I think but I really don't feel like making another one or fixing the old one...oh well.
