well...this is what the patent says... Now there is no question that is was designed as a braking device...

I highly doubt it. They are just for visual effects, and to cool off guests for the rides that do have a "splash zone," in my opinion. When riding Sheikra, I barely felt it, if I even felt anything at all, when going through the splashdown section. The train seemed like it came out going the same speed (or very close) as it was when it went into the section. I'm almost feel its impossible for the train to maintain the same speed due to the laws of velocity or something. Drag is being produced thus slowing the train. Even if its just 5-10 mph it is natural and doesn't require any operating cost

sooo...what does everyone feel about a spashdown being on this coaster? Are they getting to gimmicky or is it still far and inbetween to say its a new trend?

yeah do they have a ride cycle time?

for those who just need the coaster... Thunderhead_Falls_[R]_(Phyter)[1].nltrack

here it is for everyone! Thunderhead_Falls.nlpack

nah im not gonna be able to do this one...offically

heh heh heh...you said fat wiggle

of course! im not finish even constructing lol...I just added supports to make the track more prominent... See more track!

lol lol I felt that one below the belt lol lol...i'll give it some thought...

yeah its not for the contest I was thinking of doing one but im not that experience with wooden coasters but this one is turning out to be smooth as glass... not quite 90degree banking but close!

I have progress shots of a woody im working on but its not for the contest lol... But humm...it could be... for a 5 car train the back seat only gets -1.3~ g's. oh yeah baby!

lol lol thats the first thing that ran thru my mind lol lol

for someone who doesnt really follow harry potter can someone please give a brief description of what those things are. I just dont wanna vote for the sake of voting I wanna kinda be fair lol

http://www.thesunnews.com/news/local/story/894801.html Well it seems someone hurt themselves sunday during an AUDITION (but then it says rehersal) for one of the shows... Hummm...auditioning for a show that opens in less than 2 weeks. Makes one really think whats really going on for the park...

Whoa...the park AND shane is hawt!!!

ok another question...where can I get the catwalk planks in nolimits other than the autogenerator

how can a coaster that launches pass estop?

24.95 is too much when the whole day is 39.95. I could see if the half day was 19.95 then yeah but 24.95 is a no go for me and my millions of friends!

how about do it the old fashion way and no tools at all... Matter fact no auto support generator!

I never use tools...leave that to the pros at the coaster companies. i always thought when you use tools its not really showing off your talents

^ Looks like you are gonna be able to still get park merchandise http://www.hrpusa.com/merchandise.php I just wonder what all they will sell and if they will use the hardrock name...

Please show me in that where it says MUST...i took it as a typo and that you left out the "a" in "maybe as being an option. If you are waiting for me to "custom" all supports when a prefab (which were made exclusively for B&M coasters in the simulator) work even better than some custom supports. And besides isnt this a polled contest so lets let the people decide...

Better late than never! I really enjoyed your coaster. Really unique and very fun The hammerhead was perfect...so perfect im jealous lol

a shame I cant see that linked site from work... even more a shame TPR went thru all the trouble to make this site large to handle uploads and no one seems to wanna post over here.
