For the month of April, 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. For those who win that are not living in the United States, you will be receiving a prize package instead of the season pass. You may only win once.
Six Flags season pass prizes for the ThrillNetwork's NoLimits Coaster contest made possible by the generous sponsorship by Six Flags.
Goal For Design
To travel through as many gates as possible. There are 30 gates total. The entry that passes through the most gates at the end will be the winner. Ties will be broken by looking at the over quality of the two tracks
Rules
*You MUST use this template for the April No Limits Contest
*No moving the location of gates or changing the height of gates.
*No terrain allowed
*You cannot use the gates as supports or attach supports to them, they must remain totally separate.
*G limits: -2 to +5 vertical G's; -1.5 to +1.5 lateral g's
*You can only have 1 lift hill or 1 launch. You may use transport wheels to get to the launch or lift, but if they appear to be a second launch or lift, your track will be disqualified. This allows for inclined launches like on The Incredible Hulk.
*3Ds can be included, but will be deleted before judging and not scored.
*Your track length must be under 10,000ft (3048m)
*Track must pass tunnel test
*No curving lift hills or launches
*Have fun!
Be sure to check out
this thread, because we have some new rules in place for future No Limits Contests.
Entering your track
1) Log into the site (from the main site at
http://www.thrillnetwork.com/ or SpeedZone, but not the forums)
2) Go to SpeedZone at
http://www.thrillnetwork.com/speedzone/
3) Select the file you wish to upload and any pictures in the "Upload/Manage Files" tool. Only the track file must be zipped. Also, be sure to include as detailed of a description as possible.
4) When uploading your ride, be sure to check the box that says "Check this box to submit for this month's NoLimits Contest".
5) When the above steps have been completed, click on the "Submit" button. Your file should upload and your track will be submitted for the month's contest.
6) If it fails, check your file sizes, whether or not they are correct extensions, or if you are behind a firewall that may not be properly configured. Those are all common reasons for upload failures.
The limit is one contest entry per month. First place winners become ineligible once they win a prize (2004 winners may participate, however).
Feel free to post any questions, and remember to download the template! You MUST have the template for this contest.
RULE ADDITION!
Passing through an individual gate more than once will not help your score.
