LaunchersParadise.jpg


Welcome to the second NoLimits Coaster competition of 2010. With several rumours that a B&M launched coaster is in the works, a park have contacted the designers at CoasterForce to come up with a design for a B&M launched coaster to replace their aging Arrow Loop & Corkscrew coaster. The requirements is that it should fit in the same area, have more inversions and that would have a capacity similar to the old ride.
They have recieved a planning permission to build up to 30 meters on the site and they have already decide on a station/launch location that fits the surrounding area.
To help the designers then they have made a template with the space marked out and the station and launch placed.
So good luck to everyone and have a fun build!!

I was thinking of a launch comp before, and lo and behold...

Great idea for a competition, sign me up right away!
 
I'm in.

As in, I'll try to come up with something, and actually finish it this time. I was away the last week of the previous competition, and couldn't finish the design in time.
 
^^ Dave is right, everything must be inside when viewed in the editor (it's hard to judge in the simulator, and the sizes change depending on tube sizes in the simulator).

If anyone have doubts that a coaster will work in this area, I have made one that works fine. It will be entered in the riders choice, but be left out of the competition...
