May I present you the new NL Coaster of the Month Contest.

For this month, we'll see who can make the best B&M or Vekoma Flying!

Here are the rules :

- The lift hill must be inverted for B&M and Sit down for Vekoma.
- The train must be at least of 6 cars or more.
- Must have a lake and trees.
- Must have a Pretzel loop if you are doing a B&M.
- Must have a loop if you are doing a Vekoma.
- No MCBR. (Mid-Course Brake Run)
- Must have a pre-lift section. (Turn or maybe inversion)
- You can use an Inverted train if you are doing a B&M.

You have to send me at least 2 pictures of your roller coaster and an off-ride video. PM me when you are finished. You can use Scream Machine if you're more confortable with it.

The contest ended on October 31th.
Votes will be on early November.

GOOD LUCK to everyone!

Hmm... I'm pretty sure NL doesnt have a B&M Flying train option.

Also, Pics and Videos dont work on my computer.

^It doesn't. Flying Dutchman is the closest thing.

I will not be entering, I am horrendous at upside-down track of all kinds.

[Pyro]

Can we just use the invert train? And when your making a Vekoma, You start on your back, and the lift isnt inverted either.

EDIT: Also, Pretzel Loops are only made by B&M.

Ok, I edited the rules. Now, let's begin this Contest.

I'm definitely entering.

Just wondering, what constitutes a "pre-drop" section? Like, the B&M sort of small predrop, or any drop before the main one?

Yes, any drop before the main one and any turn.

[Pyro]

Umm, that's kind of a dumb rule. If you really want to make a unique coaster, it will most mikey have a predrop. Hang on, ALL vekomaz must have a predrop so the can flip over.

When they flip over it's a part of the drop.

[Pyro]

I disagree.


Mine is actually quite interesting. It will hopefully be allowed. Just take out the predrop rule. Its pointless.

This is what my lift is like. Im doing a Vekoma, there is no roll after it though. If i need to redo the predrop, I would need to scrap the whole thing...

Mines a New Element then. XD The double dip of flyers XD

[reaperdoctor]

I'm not sure, but I think Pyro is right...

I may enter this, if I have the time.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Pyro and some of you others are wrong. It says it must have a pre-lift. It doesn't say anything about a predrop.

[TripleHelix]

It said "no pre-drop" before he edited it last night at 10:31pm.

So, I guess we can have pre-drops now!

[coasterfanatic11]

I'll attempt to make one... I kinda suck still though...

EDIT: nevermind! Apollo's an invert! whoops!

[Pyro]

Just finished the Lift spine. It looks great. BUT, I dont like my layout after my "twisted pretzel loop."
