COMPACT GIGA COASTER COMPETITION: https://nolimitscentral.com/forum/topic/1282?page=1#c20868

An eccentric billionaire has just bought an island and wishes to built their own personal giga coaster. They are accepting applications for layouts and ideas and these are the restrictions they are imposing.

Size:

  • Permitted plot: 140m (459ft) by 140m (459ft) plot, no part of any track or supports can lie outside the boundary but they can lie on it.

Coaster Attributes

  • Minimum height 300ft/ 91.4m
  • Minimum capacity 1000rph
  • Must have a lift hill or launched lift hill, if it is launched then the launch track must incline a minimum of 45° and a maximum of 65°, and that must be the only launch.
  • Supports and layout must be plausible and realistic and fit with the manufacturer’s style or the direction they’re heading.
  • Must include at least 1 inversion
  • There must be storage space for (n-1) trains where n is the total number of trains your coaster runs. Storage and maintenance must also lie in the boundary.
  • Forces must not exceed +5g and -1.6g vertical and +/-1.4g lateral in all seats, consider this if you designed in FVD++ and your trains are long.
  • Hybrid and wooden coasters are allowed, but be aware that it may affect your supports score to just use the generator for the entire layout as there would likely be steel trusses or other support structures for taller elements

Scoring

Scoring will consist of 4 parts:

  • A track score /10 considering smoothness and elements.
  • A supports score /10 considering stability and realism.
  • A plausibility score /10 considering manufacturer realism and realism in general.
  • A design score /10 considering visual appeal and ingenuity/creativity.
  • Deductions will be 3 points for every support footer which sticks out from the edge of the boundary and 3 points for every foot/ 0.31m of track outside the boundary.
  • There will be a 3 point deduction for every clearance violation
  • There will be a 3 point bonus for a unique coaster style no one else enters with.

The deadline for submissions is midnight on Sunday 10th December 2023.
