July 2024 - Heartline Twister Coaster Contest!
Hey everyone!
The Heartline Twister coaster is a coaster model that was made by the Japanese company Togo. It is notorious in the RCT games for having terrible stats. However, it can look pretty nice when constructed well! Several of these have been constructed around the world, some with a switch track on both ends, and some with a dive loop on one end of the track. These coasters would always be built in a line, with all the track in a very narrow footprint. In OpenRCT2 most of these constraints are gone! You could make a traditional heartline twister with all the track in a narrow plane, or you could expand the track with elements it could normally not traverse.. You could even merge it with some bobsleigh track and give it some curves!
Rules
You are allowed to team up with one other person in this round!
- Rule 1: You have to build a Heartline Twister coaster on the map! Your Heartline Twister coaster must mainly use the Heartline Twister coaster track, but you are allowed to splice in sections of other track.
- Rule 2: Your Heartline Twister coaster must use the heartline twister coaster vehicles from RCT2 or one of its official expansions as its vehicles.
- Rule 3: The deadline for this contest will be on the 27th of July at 19:00 CEST!
- Rule 4: For this contest, you are only allowed to use objects from the RCT1 and RCT2 base game and their official expansions, OpenRCT2-official objects, and custom objects that are included in the DKSO v2 bench. Custom objects that are not in the DKSO v2 bench are not allowed, so make sure you don't use those. You are also allowed to use a custom palette if you want.
- Rule 5: The maximum map size for this round is 2500 tiles. This number will be calculated by multiplying the size of the map edges. You could for example make a map that is 25 x 100 tiles, or 50 x 50 tiles.
- Rule 6: There is no limit to the amount of opened rides you can have in the park.
- Rule 7: Have fun!
