No Limits Competition VIII- Spinning Challenge
Welcome to the No Limits competition number eight! This time we are looking at the Spinning Coaster by three manufacturers; Gerstlauer, Mack and Maurer Sohne.
The new Northern Quarter development in Portsmouth is looking to install a roller coaster in the main open area of the food court and has asked us to commission a design for it. They have given me a blueprint of the size of the building, height, width etc. They have also told me there are several support columns which can sustain additional weight, and also the location of ventilation shafts and lift towers.
They want a good fun family ride with good speed and some good thrills as well! Simplicity is a key factor to consider.
Rules
- No use of tools (like AHG etc. Circles are allowed as they are visual guides)
- Cannot post construction pictures in the topic
- No prefab supports, unless you’ve run out of time (points will be deducted)
- All supports, heartline, track, railings must stay within the box!
- No 3D’s, or Car Textures
- No NLpacking
- No Launches!
- The station CAN be moved anywhere inside the grid
##IMPORTANT##
Once you have finished the track you must EMAIL the track to me, not PM, not over msn, as then I can easily sort the files out when it comes to marking them.
Marking Scheme
Building Technique /10
Adrenaline /5
Originality /5
Realism /5
Bonus Points
Remember this can make or break where you end up in the rankings!
Option A- For Gerstlauer Spinner
Use all the support columns in some way and be able to run 5 cars without excessive stacking.
Option B- Maurer Sohne Spinner
Run 5 cars without excessive stacking, and also have a track length of over 3,000.
Option C- For Mack Spinner
Creating over 3,000ft of track and having 3 trains without excessive stacking.
Bonus points are 10 points.
This gives a combined score of 35 points! Which isn’t much so build good rides to fill those points up!
