Does height go into the prestige in the go karts and is it needed?

[BJohn05]

I was wondering for the Go Kart competition if the track needed to be high for a good prestige, also can we use steam workshop blueprints in our tracks?

Thanks.

height is not the same as fast or steep, uphills will go slower than downhills so dont place turns right after a big drop, but height probably doesnt matter

yes

I watched the community stream yesterday that featured the competition and Go Karts in general. If I recall correctly height isn't part of the prestige score.

Prestige seems to be a combination of 3 things: the ride's excitement rating, the ride's duration, and the ride's scenery.

Altitude of the track above the ground surface has a very, very slight effect on excitement (like 0.01 per meter). You can see this if you plunk down a blueprint ride, test it, then use advanced move to change its height very slightly, and test again.

So to answer your question, yes, the height of the track does have an effect on prestige. But it's very tiny. It's an itty bitty fraction of excitement, and excitement is a fraction of prestige. So in general, I wouldn't worry about this.
