Does it have to be a square or could it be a rectangle? Is there a height restriction? Is that 5 greys tall?

[Ghostbuster]

Thanks for increasing the building space for the VV coasters Staff !!

Of course your model can be smaller than the 5 greys wide, 5 greys long and 5 greys tall. But it can, in NO way, be larger in ANY of the three dimensions.

^Okay thanks just wanted to know. I didn't want to enter mine and it be wrong.

So, duelling roller coasters. Would I be allowed to make two coasters inside my 5x5x5 square?

[pkiknex25]

^ If you can make it fit, yes.

[Micronex]

Can I build a K'nex platform (just to add height for a possible display) provided that all track, theming, supports, and motors stay within a 5x5 area?

[Maxlaam]

The coaster itself and theming must stay inside the 5x5x5 cube. Building a platform for the sole reason to raise the coaster to a display level does not add to your cube. So yes, as many dutch people mistakenly say:"Go your gang!"

Thanks for giving VV a larger space

sorry but what does cube mean

Let me google that for you

A cube is like a 6 sided dice. Each side is a square, and is the same size as the other squares.

You're welcome

I don't trust Wikipedia. It lies.

[Micro Mike 21]

if you build with VV the cube goes up to 5 blue rods wide, 5 blue rods long, and 5 blue rides tall. Look at my ride for example. http://www.sscoaster...i-iceman-14998/. Hope I helped. this message was for Jamieboy1234

What i'm wondering is if you make a base for your coaster and you have tube supports if you're allowed to extend the tube supports down to the bottom of the base without having the base count as a part of the cube.
Example:

Thank you staff for the new cube size! Now I want to participate in this contest.

What i'm wondering is if you make a base for your coaster and you have tube supports if you're allowed to extend the tube supports down to the bottom of the base without having the base count as a part of the cube.
Example:

The part in the base is still part of a support so it does count as space used within the cube. A good way to compensate this loss is by making your track dive through the base, which makes for very nice tunnels!

[timtimlaz]

^ That's what I'm doing. I was also do that same layout that the picture has so far. Looks like I have to think of another idea.

[Zem]

Does the station count as part of the coaster or is it counted as scenery?

[jp95]

i'm think that i make a coaster for this contest. i just need some space for a sqare.
