Compact B&M Hyper - Results Page 7 Bottom

A park recently removed a rollercoaster and they are now looking to build new unseen coaster. B&M Hypers are all around but have you seen one squeezed into a small area? No? Well thats your job.

TEMPLATE!!!!!



Link to template: http://www.coastercrazy.com/track_excha ... ?tid=16288

RULES!!!!!

- Track may NOT exceed 225 feet in height.
- No structure my exceed 230 feet in height.
- Must pass E-Stop and Tunnel Testing.
- Must use a lift hill.
- Lift hill speed may NOT exceed 10 MPH.
- You may choose to use a pre-drop if desired.
- No track my be outside the template.
- Supports my not go out of the template.
- NO supports on the area marked with a RED "X".
- NO track below 30 feet in the box marked with a RED "X".
- NO supports or track below 30 feet in the Purple box.
- Terra-forming is NOT allowed inside the template. (IE: No underground tunnels with a 3Ds land mass.)
- 3Ds other then a station and tress are allowed. Please note that 3Ds will be turned off for scoring.
- G-Forces: Vert: -2 +4
Lat: +/- 1.7
Acc: +/- 1.75
- Train must have no more then 9 cars but no less then 7.
- Run at least 3 trains.
- Track MUST have a Service, Transfer, Safety, and "Waiting" (Holding) block. (IE: 4 brake blocks and station. Transfer may be placed between the lift and the station.)

HINTS!!!!!

Try to make the colors stand out. There is a highway nearby and you want people to see the ride. Keep cost in mind. Your budget is $10,000,000 USD. Try to hit a high capacity. This is going to be the new star attraction of the park. Lots of people will want to ride it throughout the year. Capacity goal is around 2800 PPH.

PRIZES!!!!!

Grand Prize: One all expenses paid trip on the RV for the PA Road Trip (Non-transferable. You pay for airfare if needed. Parks are paid for you.) or, 10,000 Points.

Second Prize: 5,000 Points

Third Prize: 2,500 Points

Honorable Mention: 100 Points

Deadline!!!!!

December 31 at 11:59:59 PM. Just before the new year ball in NYC drops.

People have been asking about the red and purple areas. The red area is a ride. The purple area is the parks access road. That should answer those questions.

Another question is can you place a footer in the purple zone? The answer is yes, only if no support is attached to it. (IE: Footers to simulate a road.)

I'm going to try this, lol. Sign me up.

-2? Real B&M hypers are like.. -.5.

Also there are B&M hypers with less blocks than that I believe. If I remember correctly Raging Bull just has one block, the transfer as another block, and into the station. It even uses 3 trains.

Can the station building be outside the blue box, as long as the track is in the boundary? Also, IMO the capacity number is rather unrealistic. Even using a 9 row train, that works out to a dispatch every 46 seconds, and I've never seen a B&M hyper come anywhere CLOSE to that in real life.

$10,000,000? That's the cheapest B&M hyper I've ever seen.

I'm in.

But yeah, the blocking is a bit of trouble, and the lats/positive/negatives are a bit off.

This template is way too small for a hyper. Using a normal lift angle the tallest lift you can fit (and this is with a tight flat turn at the top) is about 150ft. If you want to hit actual hyper coaster sizes you have to use a lift steeper than 45 degrees...which just looks completely retarded.

Yes.

So yea, I just checked...an SLC doesn't even fit in this template. I'm all for a challenge, but geez...

does it HAVE to be over 200 ft? or can it be lower like hollywood dream

[hyyyper]

How do you want us to build something like Raging Bull in such a small template?

No offence, but I'd like to see your track, Tetsu

interesting. Seems a lot of people seem to be thinking the same thing. Dunno why :p Good challenge, count me in.

I'll give it a shot!

[slosprint]

i'm in

[slosprint]

even though this is not technichally a hyper because it is under 200 ft i think some of the elements in this might be able to be positioned in a way as to make it compact. [url][/url]http://www.rcdb.com/3621.htm?p=18659

Wow, you had to do this as soon as musicmonkey finished. I'm in for now. I may not get something good but I'll try.

[Dirk_Ermen]

Always in for a compact challenge. I'm in [:)]

Can we make a 90 degree lift? It seems that is all that will work.

Edit: Better Question! Even Though it is suppose to be a Hyper coaster does it have to be over 200 ft.? I know that ruins the idea of a hyper coaster but might as well ask!

[slosprint]

That seems unlikely to work on trains as massive as B&M hypers. i think the smartest thing to do would be to make a 2 part lift eg go up 100 ft make a 180 degree turn and go up the rest. i know that idea sucks but it is more likely to work on a B&M than a 90 degree lift

I'll give it a try. Can track go within the red x?

[slosprint]

Just to clarify, the deadline is in eastern standard time?

[Oscar]

Wwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa it can't be done!!!

Would it be a bad idea to have a curved drop or should the ride have the traditionaly Mega drop?

[slosprint]

and also is part of the station allowed to be outside the template as long as the track is inside?

Dead lines are CST.
