i might won't be able to do 10 airtime if i get 9? is this ok?
Sorry, but no. The number 10 was chosen for the 10 year anniversary, so we expect 10 in total.

I count 8 moments of airtime, not hard to extend the layout. Plus it's amazingly small.

It just so happens that blue streak has ten moments of airtime. Could I recreate it for this contest?
Sounds like a good plan, Andrew!
That's what coaster i'm building right now! I just didn't know it had 10 moments of airtime. Since I know it does, I'll probably enter that if I can finish it. I'm done with most of the lift stucture.

I hope you haven't thought of what I have thought of.but I really am happy to be making a coaster no one here has probably thought of yet.... Should be interesting!

Ejector time is an obvious kind of air time. I wonder why you would ask this question.I'm curious when you say air time, that does include ejector time on different elements, correct? Also, I do have to say I love seeing all these woodies, but really am happy to be making a coaster no one here has probably thought of yet.... Should be interesting!
Yes, I would consider this a family coaster.Would my woodie I'm currently building be considered a "family" coaster?
This is a questionable situation. Steep drops always provide air time, but are usually a trademark of a non-family coaster, a coaster that is aimed to thrill. Drops that aren't as steep as the ones found on thrill coasters usually don't really provide air time in the front of the train, but they surely can in the back. When entering your roller coaster, you are asked to provide us with a list of the 10 air time moments and the first drop is up to you to include or not. Your drop is gradual enough to exclude it from the air time list. In case you miss out on one air time moment, you can choose to include it, though. In this case, you argument why it should be included in your list.So I have a question. Does the drop also counts as airtime. I thought that the airtime we needed to use was only the airtime that apears on camelback's.

It's not to make myself sound stupid. I'm just making sure by "air time", it can include other things than just air hills.
Well, this should be interesting, especially since I won't be making a construction thread. Keeps you all on your toes about my coaster. Muwhahahahahaaaaa....
One last question, will this contest be purely based on family/10 air hills, or will there be more to it than just that when it comes to naming a winner? Like, will a special "element" help you in any shape or form?

5 for each is enough.
Would 10 for each be okay too?
