[Icehouse] Winter IGDC - Coasters?

Since it looks like the Winter IGDC will have a "must use Martian Coasters" restriction to it, I was kicking around an idea of using Martian Coasters with Cosmic Coasters.

My question is this:  do most Icehouse fans own these?  I'm a Looney fan in general and have just about everything they've ever put out.  My fear in incorporating an older game into the mix is that my game wouldn't get played or ranked due to the lack of Cosmic Coaster ownership.

I still can't decide if the "Coasters" mechanic I've cooked up is something that will actually work or is something that is just a gimmick that looks good on paper.  If no one really owns them (or it seems like it would be overly restrictive to the judging process), I'll scrap them now before I've done too much more design work.
