The Challenge: RMC the Son of Beast

Park owners were curious to see what Son of Beast would be like if given the full RMC treatment by RMC. Only problem the ride was torn down years ago. Solution: Son of Beast lives on again, rebuilt from scratch to the exact dimensions it once was! Now it's up to you to RMC Son of Beast!

Primary rules:

• Build one RMC style coaster following the general footprint of Son of Beast.
• You may use either the Hybrid or Launched Hybrid style.
• Son Of Beast and a separate outline of the support/track footprint are provided for your reference.
• Do not change, modify, or move the Son of Beast recreation, base outline, or any terrain.
• A separate coaster has been created for you to build with.
• You may use the "hide wireframe" option to hide Son of Beast and/or the base outline.
• Adequate storage for all trains is required.
• Adequate clearance must be maintained at all times.
• Your coaster follow the footprint of Son of Beast and look like it is reusing as much of the original support structure as possible.
• You can use the auto-support generator to build a new support structure.
• You may add as many inversions as you like.
• Coaster must run minimum 3 trains.
• Below ground tunnels are allowed.
• Coaster must be fully contained inside the yellow border area to avoid interfering with other rides/scenery not visible in this park.

Time Rules

• The 5 hour build period begins on June 11, 2022 at 4:00 PM GMT when the contest park is available for download.
• You must build one coaster in the provided contest map.
• You will have until 9:00 PM GMT (5 hours total) to upload your finished park to a file exchange/download/FTP site and fill out the official entry form with the download information, coaster names, your name, and your email address. Allow yourself spare time to upload your coaster and fill out this form.

Support Structure Rules

• Use of the auto-support generator is allowed and encouraged.
• You may opt (but are not required) to create your own steel spine for inversions similar to how Son of Beast used a steel spine for the loop.
• Support structure must look sufficient to handle the speed and direction of the forces throughout the ride.
• Adequate clearance must be maintained throughout the entire ride.

Other Rules:

• NO custom or pre-packaged scripts can be used on your coaster. Just keep it simple.
• Any submission not using the template and/or submissions built prior to the contest will be disqualified.
• You can only use NoLimits 2 and entities packaged with it - no custom 3D scenery, environments, or car textures.
• You may add scenery, however all scenery will be hidden and will not be judged as part of your coaster experience.
• One entry per person. If you upload more than one entry, we will only consider the last one entered.
• Please include your name and coaster name in the file name submission.

Judging criteria:

Realism - Forces, track shaping, coaster operations.

Supports - Support adequacy, clearance, design, density.

Fun - Pacing, creativity, variety, flow.

RMC-ness - How well your ride feels like a ride "RMC" would design: maintains the "heart" of the original ride while becoming a new RMC experience.

Disqualification criteria:

• Any part of track, trains, or structure (in Frozen state) go beyond the yellow border.
• Track or any part of the coaster goes below ground (without a tunnel).
• Collision with any part of the coaster: supports, track, trains, footers, station building/stairs, transfer track frame.
