This is my 2nd woodie. It was built for the 2011 Winter contest, which had restrictions of 100 yellow box max area and 200 max crossties.The coaster is based on green boxes. The total area of the coaster is computed as follows.The layout is an 8*4 green rectangle with 2 half circles of radius = 2 green rods on each end plus 6 green X blue boxes for the station and stairs.Green = sqrt(2)* Yellow Area = 8G*4G + pi*(2G)^2 +3 Green SquaresArea = 8*sqrt(2)*4*sqrt(2) + pi*(2*sqrt(2))^2 + 3*2 Yellow SquaresArea = 64 + 25.133 + 6Area = 95.133 Yellow squares.The entire ride fits on a 6' X 2.5' table.A total of 195 crossties were used.A new custom woodie style train was built for this ride painted in metallic blue with chrome stripe.
