NEW YORK, New York, March 31, 2004- ThrillNetwork is proud to announce the first
official NoLimits design contest and its consequent partnership with NoLimits
Coaster Simulator. Beginning April 1st, NoLimits official design contests will
be run through ThrillNetwork’s SpeedZone at http://www.thrillnetwork.com/speedzone/.
Starting April 1st and running each month thereafter, 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. All winners will
have their coasters posted and featured on the official NoLimits Web site,
located at http://www.nolimitscoaster.com/.
Additionally, second and third place winners will receive a NoLimits
ThrillNetwork T-shirt.
Numerous judges on and off ThrillNetwork’s staff will critique entries, and
entries will have to meet a variety of requirements to be deemed eligible.
Coasters will be judged on G forces (positive and negative, lateral and
vertical), smoothness, creativity, realism, adequate support, correct train use,
and various other standards that exist for real roller coasters. More
information about the official contest can be found at http://www.thrillnetwork.com/features/nolimits/contesthome.
Ole Lange’s NoLimits currently features nine steel and four wooden coaster
types. Released in 2001, it quickly became the number one coaster simulator by
featuring lifelike graphics and user-defined flexible coaster designs. NoLimits
is currently available for both PC and Mac OS X.
ThrillNetwork is a leading roller coaster and theme park Web site featuring the
latest news, a ride and park database, message boards, chat, roller coaster
