I'm not going to put this lightly dude. I thought your track should have been disqualified for those two extra over banks, I liked the ride, but when I saw those it dropped your score immensely. You need to read he rules and make sure you follow it to the T, because anywhere else that would have been inexcusable. Case and point, a few years ago I entered a competition on coaster crazy and was DQd because half a footer was outside the build boundaries.
I mean, I agree, but I think that rule was a bit... pointless(?) in the first place. So much so that I actually had to go back and re-read them as I didn't think it existed.
Here's my logic. When doing an RMC conversion you could do anything you like, but it wouldn't be realistic. You could have made everything inversions, just spiralling away for the whole track, but you'd have scored (really) badly on realism. Likewise with track modifications. Where do you draw the line on something so subjective as that? In my opinion (and you're perfectly entitled to disagree), the overbanks were a fine addition to the ride, but they weren't generally built very well. I wonder if you'd have a different view on them if they were done perfectly?
Must have at least three inversions - easy, you'll be DQd (or at least heavily penalised) if you don't do it.
Must stay within the box - easy, see above
Must reach 90 mph - easy, see above
Must not have too major modifications to the original track - define major? Most of the RMC conversions to date pretty major. To my mind they could easily start adding whole new sections of track and we wouldn't be that blown away.
Maybe I'm labouring my point too much now... :lol:
