Some train closeups of the recent test runs: http://www.coasterthrill.de/viewtopic.php?t=184&start=10 Judging by the amputational capabilities of the Mamba (look at these dummy riders!), clearance is expected to be tighter than anywhere seen before on any other coaster...

Another video, (credits: Moritz Rawe aka Phantasiafan from onride.de) (Warning *82*Megabyte for 1:05 of a complete offride) http://rapidshare.de/files/15267867/-_104.avi.html Who cares wether Mamba is a tad slower, faster or just the same speed (as itself???) with this beautyful motion... EDIT ADD: plus lots'o current pics (including train on track) here: http://www.onride.de/viewtopic.php?t=21366&start=120&7281

Here ya go: (credits to Lauf Forrest from onride.de) http://rapidshare.de/files/15171540/MOV01324.MPG.html EDIT ADD: This one is the *47MB version*. In case too large of a file for you, look a few posts later down, where Robb posted a downsized version of ~4MB only...

Ahem... Dueling Dragons not an US-located B&M Inverter? Or not two?

That's IMO absolutely OK, as long as the overall skill clearly shows that you are *able* to intentionally do so. Otherwise... Just like stated, it's not always the case, and when a designer like you is in particular *caring* about these wiggles in a coaster typical way, I'd even regard this as clever & improved BT. But only then. redunzelizer

Yet more construction site messiness from 4th of March. Who else dares to think that these impressions suggest an opening within this century already? http://www.achterbahn.org/index.php?page=792208428&f=1&i=792208428 plus some more impressions: http://tinyurl.com/jgjrn

Wronk! You may well use your own tree textures and scale trees in NL by setting these tree textures plus according heights within an environment file. Just that's the reason - like awclark already pointed out - why tree sizes sometime go bonkers with a false environment file.

No, IMHO you definitely did not. Not at all. If you really had had Vekoma specific "pain" in your mind, you would have at least put some effort into mimicking just that kind of pain. It would even have taken quite some NL-skills to actually accomplish this. The only thing you might be able to find with this one is a 5 minutes effort of creating something as lazy as possible, lacking any resemblance to either Vekoma/Arrow or any other real "rough" track. In a way you remind me of these guys declaring whatever detail on their NL-tracks as "intended" because they either did not care or were not able to handle it. The cheapest possible excuse ever.... I think we were given such excuses way to often already. You might only take the risc of leaving the impression that you are a lazy & boring person. But I would hope and will assume that this is not true. redunzelizer

Well, at the moment we at least may safely assume that there are quite some of these...

Quite live, but not a life.. A depression feeding view out of my office window...

I am seriously missing "Felix Salten Memorial Pr0n Rides" with any Disney parks! So, many of you might not get the hint, but this is clearly intended...

Black Mamba track is now definitely closed. http://www.phantasialand-bruehl.de/image/bilder/bau/bau_cl/org/jan06/010.html

Black Mamba is rumored to have two different trains. One for the true enthusiast devoties, the other for peeps failing at worship. The latter will directly pour riders into that dumpster! Black Mamba.sv6

more details & pics ahead: http://tinyurl.com/byugh only one or two rails missing for closing the track. (within final tunnel to station brake)

Still disoriented somehow? Never mind... Urs Höer did a nice rendering, thus providing an overview of the layout: http://urshoeer.de/images/blackmamba_layout.jpg

Great one, Thanx. Had a good lough...

the last glitches to be handled: http://www.onride.de/viewtopic.php?t=20134&start=356&7281 plus 1st wingover assembly footage http://tinyurl.com/b9uyo

Since there has not been any progress for months and not any pics have been posted yet, i thought i'd give it a try... http://phantasialand-bruehl.de/park/bilder_/b_jan06.html

fine! so how a bout some more hell(ix): http://tinyurl.com/9xwax

Plus, it depends where you come from. There are regions where anything below 300m (~1000ft) is just another "hill". And what's "10-20 meters" (~30-60ft.) then? redunzelizer, waiting for them Norwegians to build the ultimate "Fjord Dive Coaster"!
