[RCT3] ToPa Attraction Park
Reon replied to AlmereStars's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
That flyer looks sweet! I love how it pops over the midway, but you might want to do something about tha tunnel next to the station. It looks a bit ugly, compared to the rest of the ride IMO. -
I want a crazy merry-go-round

You dont NEED rails. They just make the ride a bit smoother.... *points at question about wheel arrangements and the bunny hill*

Looks do-able, but make sure that you have the room to build it. Like I suggested for my own coaster, make the basis of the track out of strong wood (2x4ish), then smooth it out with a few layers of plywood strips on top. Use 2x4ish wood again for the supports, and piece stuu together with screws and stuff... As for Wildcat, I need suggestions for the lift device. Anyone?

Death Dropper
Reon replied to christianscoasters's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
Great work! If your taking requests, I want to see how this would look (I've previously drawn overhead views and such) Accellerator coaster. It starts out with a 200 foot TTD-styled tophat, with a drop about 20 feet taller than the way up. After that, it goes into a 100 foot hill, which twists back towards the station and dives underneath the launch track before turning back (Looks like an S on the way down.) After the ride hits the bottom of the s (second curve), it goes into a large upwards 540 degree helix, then drops back to the floor. From here, it goes into a zero-g roll, which dives into a large 180 overbanked turn around the tower (the previous elements should bring the train back to about that point), and then pops up into another smaller zero-g roll before diving down to the brakes. Think you can do it? -
I'd love to show you, but sadly I wont be home again till May>.> First I need some answers to the questions before I can start construction.

I'm going to start working on Project wildcat again, but I have a few questions first off: 1)How do those first gen boomerang lifts work? I'm thinking of doing something like that for the back spike. 2) Can I safely include a bunny hill in the ride using only top wheels, and a bigger wheel on the underside, grasping to the two main rails? As for the layout, it depends on question 2. I plan on making the basis of it two verticle spikes, with some trick track in the middle. Depending on how gravity works, I might make the trick track into a curving hill, resulting in a S shaped layout. Also, I'd like to make the front spike past-verticle, but I dont think thats possible unless I modify the carriage with a set of undertrack wheels. As for the actual track, I'm thinking use 2x4s and such for the base of the track, then cover it with a few layers of plywood to smooth things out. The verticle spikes will come out by linking the track pieces up at a constant rate of 18 degrees per increment. (It should take 5 segments to get it smoothly from horizontal to verticle.)

The only thing I can really complain about is the station height right now. It looks too low compared to how it was back at GL. -

Aren't the Marvel Chars also owned by Universal? If so, we can expect this to be a new expansion for them aswell.. -
What Are Your "Coaster Goals" For 2007?
Reon replied to jappi's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
You mean the 40 ft tower? Its alright, and gives a little air (I worked Coney last year, and will again this summer.) From what I've heard, we're supposed to get either a rock or rolloplan. I forgot which one. Either way, another great classic ride comes this way -

Pearl Island Vacation Complex
Reon replied to Ccron10's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
Could you post some overview shots of the coasters please? Also, I can't remember, is that the same version of Axis that you're making the model of, or is a different layout? -
New drop tower for Gullivers.
Reon replied to The Undead Creature's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
SO you bought it and installed it there? Because I've seen (and worked) these things before, and I don't know if you can say it was 'yours'. Still, pretty sweet deal. I'd love to have enough to buy a small coaster, possibly a mouse or one of those MiniMegas.
