There are some images from the erection of the first pair of supports on RCDB. Just look at that!! RCDB -
Need some help
Loefet replied to Intamin10's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
^^ You know that a picture says more then a thousand words... But it sound you have some problems with your texture settings. I don't have Rhino so I can't help you with what you should do. -

Your forgetting the world's first coaster at Skara Sommarland and the first coaster at Kolmården. 2009 seems to be the best year for Swedish amusement parks yet. I hope that they start building this thing soon... -
Source. Not really surprised by this news, I just hope that they find a new home for the B&M and the Togo Wildstorm, since they were both ace. I'm also happy that I was able to get the credits there when I visited the place during the 2007 TPR trip.

The mysterious yellow B&M!

^ The clue is in the name of the file... I have to say that this looks pretty good, but there is a flaw to your plan. A mega coaster don't include looping parts... -

Theme Park Review's 2008 Asia Tour!
Loefet replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ It's a standard observation tower. Sea Paradise is a really nice little park, then only thing I think is odd with the place is that they get so many million visitors every year (it's in the top 10 of numbers of visitors in the world, if I remember correctly). -

^ The HQ and European division is based in Wollerau, Switzerland. I have no idea on how they produce their coasters but I would guess one at a time, since it would be easier to keep track of all the parts. -

^ That is the Heart-line. ^^ You really need to tone down the hills in the end, it's way too much. Half the number of them and you would get a better ride. Also, if you have to smooth/tweak the ride quite a bit then you would have killer ride in the end. -

Splash Party - Vekoma's new coaster?
Loefet replied to AlmereStars's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Nope non at all, since it will feature the new seats found on the new Family coasters, just lap-bars. Looks like a cool project, and if it will ride like the newer family suspenders then it will be pretty awesome. -

Mmm, looks so nice. -
X-work, it's really simple what it is... It's the upcoming re-tracking work of X/X2, bring on X3!!! Duh!!

But then again, Stand-Up coaster could have had an SU abbrevation so that the Sitting coaster has SC, just a thought. Does anyone have some close up photos of the track on Led Zeppelin? There are a few decent shots on RCDB but they have been scaled so you cant get any fine details, but the full size image could tell what we need to know.

I'm now 99% sure that this will either be a Sitdown-Looper or a Floorless coaster. Why?? First: It's way to small to be a Dive Machine coaster, so that will rule that out. Second: And then some pieces show that this will have inside looping elements, which rules out the Speed coaster (unless they are going beyond vertical, which is highly unlikely, it's B&M we are talking about). Third: It's all in the track-ties. Pictures from RCDB Only the sit-down and the stand up have straight ties on the underside, which rules out both inverted and flying. Final: I'm pretty sure that it won't be a stand up, since no one have built any of them for years, but then again it's is a tiny possibility.
-
^^ It's definitely not an Invert, since the track pieces show that it will have inversion with the train on the inside, which an Invert don't do, and the connector have an angle that is very different to that of an Invert airtime hill. So the only designs left are Sitdown/Floorless or Flyer.
-
Th only thing that pops into my head right away would be a coaster for Universal Studios in Singapore. Maybe it will be their version of Hulk? But by the looks of it then it's most probably a sit-down looper, maybe a flyer. Since it's (as some already have stated) too small for a Dive Machine, and some of the pieces in the background looks like parts of a sit down loop or flying Pretzel.
-
Thanks all for the kind words!! ^ Note that the Gyro Drop and the Screaming Swing are just static models I have created, I just wish that they could have been animated, that would have been awesome. NoLimits is still worth it's money though, but be prepared that it will take you a fair bit of time and effort to get a good track going.

Game - Guess this coaster...
Loefet replied to coasterlover420's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
^ Just because I always check up on my "guesses" to see if they are correct, than just post a random coaster that in some cases is nowhere close to the one pictured. -

^ Your picture showed clearly that it was a Schwarzkopf Wildcat model, so it wasn't too hard.
