I would like to see how both Giovanola Goliaths would run if their MCBR trims were reduced a bit, when the train slams into them it seems to mess up the pacing of the ride a little... I mean, the second half still looks fast but the dropoff from the MCBR into the corkscrew-transition is really, really slow.
Of course, this is judging by videos of the ride, I haven't actually ridden either of them
-
Here's what I'm talking about:
That is just the chassis, the seats and such probably aren't attached yet.
Anyway, it's already been confirmed that it will be a 6-across seating arrangement, like Oblivion was going to be.
-
I imagine a lighter train would have less resistance from the air and track but have less momentum, whereas a heavier train will have more momentum but will make the structure flex more, which will deplete that momentum faster...
The engineers probably know what they're doing, I'm not thinking about it any more [/brainfry]

It's not like Intamin didn't build this same concept 3 years ago, and Arrow way back in 2002.
Here's the difference: BM will do it well.
-
It looks like they have added extra wooden beams to make it look rickety... awesome!

Wouldn't a Sreamin Squirrel have almost a 180 degree first drop?
It's more of a downward turn that an actual drop...

I munch anywhere between 300 and 700 texts, if I run out one month then I always use less the next.
500th post!

How were you able to create the large "panels" of wood? Did you use individual beams, or did you use catwalks?
I create a long straight bit of track and make tons and TONS of catwalks from that, and use those for the faces of the building.
Then I cover over the edges with wooden beams because in the simulator you can see a gap where the "seam" is.
At the moment I'm working on a new station with an entrance foyer and queue lines contained below the coaster station, and it is proving extremely challenging...
-
I really really love that first station. Were these done using only No Limits support work?
Yep, they're all done using wooden beams and the catwalks found on the WoodMagic auto-support structures.
I'm pleased that you like the first one, I'm jolly proud of it

Any Good at RCT3 Stations??? Because I need Some Serious help on my coasters!
No sorry, I can't even play RCT because my CD drive is bust!
-
Want a custom station building, but no good at 3Ds? Give me a shout!
I've suddenly realised I'm better at building stations than the coasters themselves, so if you would like one making for you please PM me with your track and the following details:
1. Number of blocks within the station? (Such as load/unload points, station segment and brake segment, etc)
2. Single or dual level?
3. Queue included?
4. Any specific colours?
- And any other details which you feel are appropriate.
Here are some examples of stations I have made recently for different coasters. Let me know what you think!
Wooden coaster station
Inside view
Small steel coaster station, with multiple blocks
Mine train station, with station drop-off tunnel and entrance/exit fencing
Wooden coaster maintence/evacuation bay

swap regular drinks for diet
Or even swap those for fruit juice or water.

The Ultimate... a totally life-changing amount of pain but GOOD LORD the adrenaline rush is beyond words!

The Bullet and Magnum Force - Flamingoland
Both turn your insides to pancake batter, Bullet because of it's awesome vertical forces, Magnum Force because of it's general beat-the-sh1t-out-of-you-ness.
Nemesis - Alton Towers
At night after a hot day and rain is the most fun way to end up hospitalised! (obviously not really)
The Ultimate - Lightwater Valley
I'm sure my ribs are still jammed into the inside of the trains...
The Giant Drop - Dreamworld, Australia
7 full seconds of freefall... in the rain?! Awesome!!
Whirlwind - Lightwater Valley
This just about ripped my head off, it was running a really incredible cycle that lasted at least 5 minutes! It actually put me a little bit off Top Scans...
-
That's incredible. I'll be happy if I can still ride them at 60!
60?? Bloody hell, that isn't even old unless you have leprosy or something!
-
I saw Ash a few weeks back at The Duchess in York, they were absolutely brilliant and played for nearly 2 hours in 40+ degree heat!
Absolutely phenominal
-
I would *really* like more choice in trains and the ability to mess around with how the track looks.
And simulated crashes.
-
Oh, and for a coaster to show more wear and tear the more you ride it.
I'd want more of an age simulator - put in a time in years and it would adjust the condition of the coaster accordingly. That way you can still test it however many times you want and still have it "new" when it's finished.
Which is exactly what I meant
-
Swinging Coasters and the ability to make your own track and car types.
That would pretty much wrap up the whole package for me.
Bingo.
Oh, and for a coaster to show more wear and tear the more you ride it.

Ha, it looks like a duck's face!

The topic should begin and end with Salo.
What happens?
If it's gory I probably wont be bothered, but anything psychological really gets to me (Threads, Blair Witch, Shining)

Oh my god, I'm watching parts of Men Behind The Sun and it really is beyond words
QFT. Especially the scene where they drug the little boy and take his heart out.
The part with the man in the pressure chamber was just... I dunno, just really shocking!
The part where they take the boy to bits wasn't that bad because he was asleep, and didn't suffer anywhere near as badly as the woman who had her arms frozen off, or the people who were blown up with ceramic bombs that had fleas in them...

Hey Robb, where has your Wiki disappeared to? Went looking for it and it seems to have vanished?
