  • One other launch (rubber band, Jesper, etc)
Other than these limitations, your model may contain any amount of pieces and elements.

Eligibility
Only K'NEX and CoasterDynamix roller coaster models may be entered.

Prize
-Winter Contest Tag
-Builder Status
-K'NEX Pieces to be determined

Determination of Winner
The ultimate winner will be decided by a staff panel.

You do not have to have a launch. Those are limits on launches. And 3 feet includes the trains.
