For one, you can't really use so little supports since the dual track isn't as rigid so you have to use loads of supports, but if you make them the right size and space them properly then (all according to the force load on the track) then you should be OK! And please remove those fake blocks you have on the ride, since they really destroys the safety on the ride. Either build a true MCBR or change the timing in the station so that you won't need them.

One step closer to an AT-AT walker It really looks like two guys facing each other with the upper body inside the main structure, creepy.

^ Fixed! Hope you get it this time.

A really nice video, but it's to bad for the animals. Gimme gimme...

Second post: http://www.coastercrazy.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=16592top But next time try and find it yourself before asking... It only took a 30 second search on Google to find it, probably as long as it took you to post that.

Sorry but I won't take part in this competition, just no time for it. I want to finish my Project Power and also I'm going to start on my next big project. But by not participate I give someone else to take the win from me..

^I think that's Ridehost where I have the file is down at the moment, just check back later.

I use XnView, a free software, that functions very well. http://pagesperso-orange.fr/pierre.g/xnview/enhome.html And the best thing is that you can batch convert, and that you can save scripts to use later on. And the result are really high quality. It takes about 1 minute to convert 30 pictures at highest quality setting.

But by the look of that video, they seems to have some kind of seatbelt over the shoulders, so it's not just a standard lap bar.

^^^ ^^ ^ Thanks for the kind words!! Trade secret, but I can tell you that no other program was used to make them. I have after some tries come up with a quick way to make such things, The whole track took me about 4 hours and about the same for the supports.

I think I'm in love, can it be September now!! I just would win the lottery, then I will get on the first possible flight over there.

I might give a crack on this competition also, don't put me up on the list until I'm 100% certain.

Not too bad for a non tool built coaster.

^Pictures are hard to get, but here is a POV: Yeah, Eagle Fortress Is one of the best coasters I have ever been on. I didn't have any ideas how the ride would be, but it really blew me away. Even if we got a few good rides in the morning, the one I got later in the day was a lot better, just want to ride at night.

Should we post entries in this topic?

^ I' would say no, since it's not going to open until next Friday. But then there will be plenty, both videos and pictures.

To give a little hint on what I'm been working on:

^ My guess would be the same, but it's the length of time you spend in high G that makes people black/grey out. But most people thinks that it pulls 6+ g's since they black out and not care about the time they spend under high force.

^^ That would be preffered, but the program that is written doesn't do more then just print out the graphs, but I think that those spikes will disappear if you add a noise reduction formula to them, and it will make it look a lot better. ^ I guess he means the B:TR that before was B:TDK, which got renamed because the new Dark Knight mouse, that goes to SFNE.

Pepsi Python pulls 5 g's. I have the sensor around my waist and I can pin myself down really good on a B&M so I don't really move much. But then again, we get most noise on the lateral direction. And if my body move around in that way, then everyone else who rides will feel the same.

I have no idea of those, but compared to the data we have on other B&M coaster I would say that they pull around 4-4.5 g's max. But if you can wait with this question until august and the TPR East coast trip then we (me and/or my brother) could give you an exact reading of all of those coasters. Like the one below that is from a B:TR Invert. (Blue - Vertical Force, Red - Acceleration, Green - lateral.)

^ It works for me. I have also used those, but decided to do my own since I need higher resolution objects, to make better tracks.

Finally decided on how I will support my ride.
