Unofficial September NL Contest!

Submission Date Changed to October 15th!

ONLY POST LINKS TO YOUR RIDE THAT YOU UPLOADED IN SPEEDZONE HERE

Unofficial September No Limits Contest - Mini Hyper
Your goal in the Unofficial September No Limits Contest is to create a fantastic Intamin mini hyper to prove once again, that size does not matter. The catch with this contest that you must not letdown on the adrenaline. Your ride MUST enter the brakes at a speed faster then 35mph. You will be disqualified if your ride hits the brakes at a speed below 35mph. Remember, Expedition GeForce is the number one roller coaster in the world, and it's only 173ft tall. Rules are below, as well as a small FAQ's:
-------------------------------------------

Rules:
Max Height: 185ft
Max Chain Speed: 10mph
Minimum No. Of Trains: 2
Minimum Speed Limit (AT THE FINAL BRAKES) - 35mph
Max Positive G's - 5.5
Max Lateral G's - 1 (postive and negative)
Max Negative G's (-1.5)
*Ride must be an Intamin hyper coaster ("Hyper Coaster" according to the game.)
*Ride must be realistically supported.
*Terrain, cartextures, 3DS, trees, custom environments, etc are allowed, I will not judge them however.
*If using a terrain, you cannot jack up up the height of the coaster by making a hill and then constructing the lift hill. Max height the track can go in the game is 185ft. If you have any issues, send me a screenshot and I'll tell you if it's okay.
*Ride must hit the final brakes it at least 35mph
*Collisions allowed, but you will be marked off harshly
*The ride cannot contain inversions. Anything banked over 150 degrees will be considered an inversion.
*Minimum number of cars is 5.
*You can do anything else you want, if you have questions, post them in the "September Contest Questions" thread.
*Failure to obey these rules will result in a DQ.
Contest ends October 15th!
There is no prize for this month!

--------------------------------
FAQ's
How can I tell the height of my roller coaster?
Move your curser to the very top part of track, (the crest of the hill), and look at the Y value displayed on the left of the editor window. Below is an illustration of what I am talking about. I had to draw in a curser because the screenshot did not capture it. The Y value is circled in red.


Can I use custom scenary, 3DS Objects, cartextures, terratextures, custom environments, etc?
Yes. I will not be judging them however.

What do you mean by "When the train hits the brakes"?
I mean that when the train enters the brake run, BEFORE is begins to be braked, it MUST be traveling at 35mph.

My ride goes 22mph over a hill. Is that illegal?
No, the only speed restriction is in the final brakes. MCBR's do not count, as they're not the final brakes.

Is their a prize for this contest?
No. No prizes will be awarded for this contest.

I accidentally placed a tree in the wrong spot, deleted a vertex without knowing, placed a support wrong, etc, and stupidly uploaded my ride, can I reupload?
Yes. You can reupload your ride anytime you want, I will not be downloading your tracks until the contest ends, which is September 30th.

When will the results be out?
When I get a break from schoolwork. Their's a 99% chance on weekend after October 15th, it will be done. If not then, then the weekend after that.

Contest ends October 15th!
There is no prize for this month!
------------------------------------
Some suggestions:
*Make your track somewhat realistic, a 135 degree lift hill or soemthing like that will just piss me off.
*Looking at pictures of Expedition GeForce, or Goliath (at SFH) for ideas and trackshaping/realistic supports references.
*Heartlining is good for everyone!
*Remember the minimum speed limit in the final brakes rule.
*Utilize the new kick ass spines

Finally! A participant to this contest!

This is my track. It's called Japanese Revolution by my brother, who found the colors looking "japanese".
