News / QFTB-X Round 3 Assignments

The Quest For The Best X Official Bracket

Here you can find your assignments for the next round. We are going back to designated coasters for this round, this time giving you the type of coaster company you are allowed to use. I will now give you the types of coasters you're allowed to use for each company in the reply to this thread. Congratulations to all the winners and good luck in the upcoming round!

No damn forfeits this time.

I hope that accuracy counts major in this round due to the assignments. I'll assume that the judges will know their stuff.

I knew you would say that.

If it is so, then I don't stand a chance, because I know nothing about real life coasters, at all. It wouldn't really be fair, because it is an RCT contest.

d4rkj4nu5, just look at RCDB.com.
There are 122 coasters built by Arrow.
That should be enough to inspire something accurate.

Ditto dj...and I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesnt know jack about real-life coasters....When I first joined NE, I thought 'B&M' was some kinda secret NE thing... , but now I think I have a better idea of what it means.....looking forward to this round....bring it Scarface!

I think it should be judged just the same as the first round. If you wanna do something zaney, then go ahead. I think the idea of having the companies was to give a wider range of choice, not limit participants to having to build realistically.

Haha, yes, it took me some time to figure out the meaning of 'B&M' too

B&M is a brand of baked beans, is it not?

I KNEW it!
I saw their plant, it's in Portland, Maine!

Oddly enough, B&M is also an commercial insurance industry term for Boiler & Machinery. Not that anyone cares, but it was enough to confuse the hell out of me...

Is it okay if I don't use Intamin track if I want to make, say, an Intamin inverted or stand up, or are we expected to somehow merge tracks or something?

Anyway, I think Impulse Coaster is my thang.


Oh yeah, and I too would like to know whether or not we're supposed to be realistic or not, or whether the company name is just to give variety. So do we have to make our coasters feasible in real life, or could we theoretically make something that'd prolly be impossible... like with segments that "jump the track" or reverse tracks at a high rate of speed or whatnot? Similarly, if I want to make, say an Intamin woodie, can I make it a terrain woodie, even though there are no Intamin terrain woodies, or do I have to keep it in the style of the Intamin woodies that exist?

Oh yeah, and you might want to add Hairpin coaster (i.e. Flashback at SFMM) to the Intamin list. After all, if you're gonna put something as useless as a reverse freefall, well, might as well do hairpin.

Oooooh, CCI. Nice challenge.

This sucks, deadline is when im in school.

Realism is not important. I just gave people a group of designated coasters to choose from. I'm still looking for well themed, original ideas. Recreations are fine too, but I'm looking for stuff like the first round. I just gave people (on average) about 5 coasters to choose from instead of picking the coaster type for them.

Have fun.
