Coaster Scripting Cube
Scripting

Hi. Have you configured the whole coaster (also the block of the transfer table) with the Coaster scripting cube? If the train doesn't move, the issue must be related to that cube, the blue one. Or else, did you turn the "Enable transport device" in the transfer table's "Brake section settings" on?

Double Trouble - Transportable Coaster Contest (Results out Now!)
Contests

Brief:

A largely successful showman is looking to restart the transportable coaster scene with a bang, and has put out a commission for not one, but TWO transportable roller coaster designs. They wish for one of them to be the modern-day answer to the classics such as Olympia Looping, and the 2nd coaster to be a fresh take on a family orientated design that manages to pack a punch in a small footprint. It is up to you now to design these two industry-changing attractions, and have some fun along the way while competing with other bidders.

Judging Criteria:

Ride Layout Design

Both coasters will be rated based on the layout flow, train clearance, safe rider forces and uniqueness. Both rides must also pass an e-stop test, and also be able to run without stacking mid layout. Pretty much par for the course with any roller-coaster contest. Make sure that both entries do not have too many similarities, building the same kind of coaster twice but one having a couple of inversions makes for poor variety. Also, make sure each coaster is suited to their target market respectively (i.e. make sure the family coaster isn’t too intense and has no inversions). Your overall score will be based on both coasters combined, there won’t be a split category ranking

Structural Stability

Both coasters will require a base frame support structure, no footers of any kind are permitted. Two coasters are included that use a base frame as an example if you are not familiar with this kind of design. The structure will need to be constructed at funfairs using conventional road cranes, which gives a height cap of 120ft/36.5m. Sorry, Intim305 and Tim, the Gigas and Poler Coasters are off the table for this one. Points will be taken off for any structures deemed unstable or unsafe, and points will be given to efficient designs that don’t overuse steel as well.

Capacity

Each coaster will need to be built with high capacity in mind. There is no minimum capacity requirement, but more points will be added to this category based on the total hourly throughput. It is advised to aim for the 800+ pph mark

Space Usage

You are not required to use all of the area provided (See this example by LeFlo) , but you will be scored on how well the coaster has been squeezed in the space you do choose to build on. If you would like an example of poor space usage then look at Super 8er Bahn in Wiener Prater, and for an example of really well-used space you have rides like Olympia Looping and Eurostar

Spectacle

One of the things that make travelling coasters stand out is how they look visually to fair visitors. Having something striking like the large coloured loops of Olympia looping or the large drops on Wilde Maus XXL really draws in the crowds, and makes them really good to even just watch in motion. Not to mention, having lots of trains in motion around the layout at once would also add to the spectator experience as well.

Rules/Requirements

The base of the supports MUST be within the given space, however, track sections are allowed to go outside the space if at an elevated level (Minimum of 4m from the ground level)

The station platform must be within the boundaries and must have an entrance and exit route

You may use any coaster style available, and if you so wish you can use custom trains and track. Please be aware any custom objects will not be taken into account when scores are being decided, however, they will be acknowledged in the writeups.

Each coaster requires storage space for as many trains as possible unless you are using a single train on your coaster

The rides must have a perimeter fence, and the stock NL2 fence sets will be accepted if you do not wish to make your own models

Wooden generated supports are not permitted

Use of NL2 Footers are not permitted

Guess the Coaster
Theme Park Discussion

For someone like me, i'm overseas, its not to easy to guess. Coz an importand object such as train or track is missing in this image.

Rules:

-There must be coaster track in the picture, or something that could easily help identify the picture (ie. the catch car of a Vekoma Boomerang or a bogie).

The Cinematic Video Thread
On Topic

Late to the party, but I’ll do a bit of each: a video of mine and 2 videos of someone else’s.

I guess I’ll start with mine.

Scenery will never be my strong suit, which means for me if I ever wanted to place in a mega roundup I’d need to do some good video work, and this was the fruit that work bore. I placed 6th that roundup, and it’s still one of my proudest moments, like, ever. College graduate? Nah, fam. I made a video for a fake roller coaster that placed in the middle of the pack for an online contest.

I’m a fan of CG Coaster’s videos, easily one of my favorite video makers in the community. His stuff is always really clean in my opinion, and this video has some great transitions in it, especially the one towards the start of the last chorus.

Speaking of transitions, this video inspired the video for Superbloom immensely. Everything about it is just incredibly crisp and polished. The wipe transitions are really cool as well. All around a really great video.

I’m also going to +1 intim305’s AGRC-1 video because it’s great as well. I’m a sucker for slow motion and that part is easily one of my favorite bits of the video.

The "What Did You Just Do In NoLimits" Thread
NoLimits Coaster

Been away for a while, but I made a thing!
Trying to get back into the swing of things after the covid slump, I started fresh with this little invert project. I think it turned out really nice; I'm really happy with the track shaping and nostalgic layout.

I'll get Godzilla, a B&M giga project from upwards of a year ago, going again very soon. But for now I hope you all enjoy this one. I'll be uploading the ride shortly, so be on the lookout! :)
