Height Score

Post by vehicleguy »

How have you guys been using the height score? Do you use a low, slow moving coaster to get time points or do you have taller ones to get more jumps?

It's not a philosophy, it is just a fact with the way the rules are written. A perfect 45 sec out of 45 sec run at literally 1 cm would only earn 189 points, while most competitive coasters earn more than that on just gaps.

My height is legit 80.0 . Don’t go for height,, go for jumps. I nearly have double the total score of someone who goes for height and time just in my jumps

Do you guys think that it's more important to worry about the Gaps of the height?
