I just downloaded the template. After what Treeis said, I zoomed all the way in on side view to see how high the height bar is, and it comes up as 196.85 feet. Can we keep and use that, if it's what it was when we downloaded it? Thanks for getting another one started so soon! This is my first...

I had what may have been an NL first today. It was definitely the first time I've ever seen it happen! I was E-stop testing my track, and when I disabled the E-stop, the train that was in the station dispatched, with the OTSRs in the "up" position! Talk about having another reason for E-stopping...

I mentioned Drachen Fire in an earlier post. (No, I'm not recreating that!) Is anyone familiar with the story behind it? As I understand it, BGE approached B & M to do a coaster for their 1992 season, but B & M was busy with their first inverted jobbie. They said they wouldn't be able to build...

Thanks, Xpress! :--D I knew from way back in the day that I'd be in trouble if I were ever up against you in a comp! Congratulations to you and Jer for making the top two entries! Like Antinos said, great job on everybody's part! I still have trouble working bumps & pumps out of tracks, and...

There was sort of a tradition way back in the day, when the judges posted the announcement that a comp was closed to any further entries and that the judging was about to begin, for them to finish the post by saying "Bookie anyone?" It was a humorous way of encouraging bets on whichever one you...

I guess to the untrained eye, the track and vehicles of Arrow and Vekoma look about the same, which is probably why they only have one corkscrew coaster type in NL, but the support styles are another story, as these three pics tell: http://rcdb.com/4.htm?p=16 http://rcdb.com/40.htm?p=108...

Re: The BBH Attack and Release Thread I had a bit of a time myself this weekend doing that - getting a coaster file into a folder where I could access it for posting or e-mailing. It had been a long time since I'd done it! As best I remember, what I finally did that worked was to go into NL...

Just wanted to leave the download link in case it was missed in the first post after the edit. http://www.mediafire.com/?59g7a67gtkgxm4j

Do the corkscrews have to be two consecutive ones, or can they be two interlocked ones? Also, can we put more water around than the ride than what's already there?

Just the numbers, or do you want any kind of reason as to why we took off points - red g-spikes, collisions, or whatever? Come to think of it, should we rate our own entries too?

Thanks, I visited that site and got a freebie month membership. I did the upload, and here's the link it gave me: http://www.mediafire.com/?59g7a67gtkgxm4j If the link doesn't work, I'll go back to the original plan, getting anyone who'd like to see it to send me a PM and I'll send them the...

Well, I have - at least I hope it went through! I had a bit of a time getting it from the NL track folder to a "Documents" folder where I could access it for e-mail. I sent it, and then remembered about 45 minutes later that I probably should have saved it as a compressed file first. I re-sent...

I hope that means you're going to finish yours. If memory serves me, you came up with some really good ones way back in the day, when Loefet and I had some comps going!

In case any of us are finishing up "under the wire" on Saturday night, I thought I should see which time zone you're in, or which one you'll be using to close out the comp to further entries - 11:59:59 p.m. UTC or whatever. Also, to make it easier when you're going through all of the track...

It's great to see you're still around the site, coming up with awesome coaster designs! I must not know my way around the Track Packager yet, because I couldn't save and open the file with any of the 3DS objects you made, but the track itself is great! I haven't tried making a Gerstlauer track...

The train in bmac's pic looks like the 4-seat PTC type, but when I downloaded the file it came up as a trailered 2-seat - GCI, I guess, like Thunderhead at Dollywood. Which kind are we supposed to be doing? Or can it be any type of woodie trains?

I'll try to come up with something, but I'm still finishing the station work and tunnels on that woodie in the video link. Not sure if I'll have enough patience left to try to build queue areas and exit ramps! Of course, that's assuming people would stand in line to ride it in the first place...

As you may have seen, I'm in the final stages of a woodie myself, but I guess it's a little outside the parameters you mentioned! Several years ago, Loefet and I did some comp judging. One of the ideas I had was for a woodie comp, with no limit on size or length, but the "catch" would be that...

Thanks for checking it out, fellas! I'm sure it's hard to rate a track without having the actual download, so I'll keep working on the remaining steps - hopefully including some custom double-wide tunnels where both tracks go underneath other parts of the ride. Here's a pic of further progress...

UPDATE: DOWNLOAD FILE NOW AVAILABLE! http://www.mediafire.com/?59g7a67gtkgxm4j Got it finished just in time for a St. Patrick's Day grand opening! If that link doesn't work, PM me with your e-mail address, and I'll send you the file. I can't actually post it here, because, even in its...
