For the month of July, ThrillNetwork will hold a coaster design contest using the NoLimits software, the winner of which will receive a Six Flags season pass good at all Six Flags parks. Additionally, second and third place winners will receive a NoLimits ThrillNetwork T-shirt. All winners will have their coasters posted and featured on the official NoLimits web site.
Six Flags season pass prizes for the ThrillNetwork's NoLimits Coaster contest made possible by the generous sponsorship by Six Flags.
July Contest: Mega Mouse
Contestants must create a wild mouse, only this mouse must be on steroids. Here are the requirements.
- Your choice: Steel or Wooden coaster style, Inverted style is also allowed (Best Options: Steel Looping Coaster, Inverted Coaster (2-Seat), Wooden Coaster (classic 4-Seat))
- must be compact (like a wild mouse)
- 8 train minimum, one car per train
- Minimum twice as many blocks as you have trains (8 trains = 16 blocks, 10 trains = 20 blocks)
- 1 or 2 stations
- No taller than 125 ft.
- +5.5/-2 vertical Gs, +/-2 lateral Gs
(we increased it because wild mice tend to have higher G forces)
- maximum of 3 inversions, but you don't have to have any
- E-stop must pass (must stop at the block segments, and make it back to the station)
- Must pass tunnel test
- No terrain, theming, or cartextures
- Must use a lift hill and only one lift hill. Launches are not allowed.
- No wheels on the block brakes situated throughout the course. However, you can have wheels in the station and on any blocks that are used to park trains before the station (as ready brakes), and any block brakes after the station but before the lift.
