I'll take the time and make something else

The vote has settled at 53% in favour of extending the ride at the time of writing this. In the hope that the contest will last longer than ten or so turns, I'm going to reject that submission.

JP, if you want to make another submission you still have plenty of time to do so. Otherwise, let me know and I'll pass on the turn to another person.

Nope.

^^ i did take a quick look at the submission, did forget about supports tho which would be quite a challenge, i still think it would make for a really nice ride to keep it but if it makes the ride too difficult to support then i guess its for the better not to use the submission. or possibly edit it so the track exits more to the right of the mountain.

I agree in that it's too short. Just feels like the ride cuts off very quick when there's opportunity for there to be much more. We don't want a ride that ends too quick because, with that being said, only around 5 people will have a chance to add something in the 2nd half.

here's an update on an RMC i started a while ago. added a bit of airtime and removed and inversion at suggested, other than smoothing, what should be changed?.
here the old post:

here's my first RMC please tell me what i could improve on layout wise.

^ Possibly, take a look at the submission. There isn't much room to manoeuvre, and I'm worried that the launch area is already a bit of a supporter's nightmare and another turnaround is one complication too far in that regard.

^^ The block timings are excluding launches. The first train needs to reach the brakes before the second train reaches the second launch, as it isn't supposed to stop there under normal operation, hence two blocks of equal duration, plus a buffer in the form of the first launch duration.

even with the submission as it is, it doesn't mean the ride has to go straight into the second launch from there, i can already think of some cool things to continue from here and add a challenge for a later submission. id leave the submission as it could also lead for some more interaction later on in the ride

From launch to the end of the track, it's 27.6 seconds, meaning the train would get to the second launch almost right at 30 seconds, which I mistakenly thought was the goal for block sections. Sorry, guys

The two blocks don't need to be any specific duration, they just need to be equal to each other to run optimally.

The first block is currently just under 24 seconds in length. This would end the block a lot sooner than I had anticipated, and your submission has made it awkward to navigate anywhere other than towards the second launch. Edit: the complete 2 block ride would be approximately 55 seconds from launch to brakes in this case.

I'm unsure of how to rule in this case, so I'm going to put it to a vote. Please vote, and voice your comments below as well.

Vote on this submission

Okay, so there's a mountain now. I'm pretty sure I met all the requirements; <80m, vertices locked, tunnels used & terrain only near my submission, no additional launches, no support collisions, and the track is handmade. Additionally, this setup will allow for the train to reach the second launch within 30 seconds of the first launch.

The downside is, whoever has the next turn isn't exactly going to have the most thrilling time:

I tried to connect the element to the launch to save someone that boredom, but I couldn't do it while meeting all of the other constraints. Hopefully this checks out.

Nope. Its in the Western United States. That almost gives it away lol.

Yummy deep-fried pretzel loop.

Probably been done before, but I'm still intrigued.

Too twisty? The hive mind disagrees. Requests are open for the next turn, who's up?
