KDCOASTERFAN

How do you use the AHG?I downloaded it,as well as the auto flanger from the NL exchange last night & am a bit curious as to how it works before using it.

I think they put it on the ride building because before it was on the queue building & could be seen as you entered the FOF midway....it definitely looks better now.

Looks like the webcam is down since all I get is a blank window with a red X in the upper corner of the screen.

In my opinion, Dominator is one of the best (if not THE best) floorless coasters out there... Totally agree I find it to be better then Medusa and Kraken personally. I find it pretty funny that the park doesn't even know what the restraints will be like... So maybe we should complain right to source - Intamin, then? Keep in mind that Dominator was custom designed to fit the proposed site that it originally occupied in Ohio so that's probably why the layout turned out to be rather original when compared to most B&M's.

Looks nice,what EP's does it require?

I had to scrap my intimidator305 recreation because it just wasn't working out even with help from downloading the renderings from the official site.

KD's is already a bit further along with construction but since both parks appear to be opening in april next season anything's possible.

Both rides have their strengths & weaknesses but after watching the animations for the zillionth time I think that KD's will be pretty good.

^Nice but how'd you get two different colors for the spine of the lift on that invert? I'm still working on my intimidator recreation,just been too busy lately to get around to completing it at the moment & it's a long way from completion that's for sure.

Good to see the crews getting back to work following the monsoon the park experienced on saturday.

Exactly & this is why two face was yanked from SFA because the local media had the nerve to show still images of the ride going through it's vertical loop making it seem as if the train had somehow stalled there rather than on the lift. My guess is CGA's invertigo will be shipped off to Brazil & join two face at it's new home to form the worlds first pair of inverted racing shuttle coasters or something.

Just what I said,I tried it when working on my intimidator recreation.

So if you wanted to one could just type in x,y,z co-ordinates for a node instead of having to shape it by hand? Whenever I try building from the back of the default start node it just connects & twists the track.

Well we can't really rate a ride that hasn't been built yet now can we?The transitions on th is coaster will be more drawn out to accomodate for the forces & besides would you rather have the type of OTSR that's on volcano or drop tower? I for one would not because those things HURT worse than those on an SLC.

It was a decent layout but the overkill on the supports caused major lag & inversions just don't really fit in on a mega or giga coaster so at least try to remember those two things in the future.

Looks good but I'd change the color of the supports because there's just too much blue.

That's what many of us who were young enough...or old enough depending on how you look at it remember about the park from back then,I think it has to do mainly with that first impression you got as a kid walking around the place for the first time & seeing all of these attractions that were considered state of the art for their time. The early years of KD for instance reflected the change in times from the traditional parks to the theme parks....the grove area started out as coney island to fit the theme of a seaside park like those that were seeing their last hey days around that time.I just loved going through that area back then,along with the original congo area back when the mountain was huge(to me any way) & had all of those attractions in it. Also one can look at the paramount era in the same way as many folks on this site were just beginning to go to the park back then & had no idea that it was much different just a few years before,now once again the place is changing & they've gotten a bit older & when they see pics from say circa 1993 to 2006 then they'll be taking that same trip down memory lane that many of us "old schoolers" are taking when we see the glorious pics of the park's early years.

They're the same restraints,just with nylon or rubber padding over the "shoulder strap" portion.

Did anyone else brave the elements at the park yesterday?

I like the entrance plaza & carousel building.

I don't think it's that easy...you're forgetting that not all of us have the means to visit every single park on the planet & the nearest B&M hyper is some 3.5 hours away,which is kinda hard to get to when you don't drive.

I agree but not until 2011 or 2012 for KD.

Take a look at the arial video on the ride site & after watching it cycle a few times some of those hills do actually look like they'll deliver some air....I just would've liked to see a bit more of that & less of the low to the ground turns but that's just me. Is it just me or has th e webcam not been updated in the past 24 hours? it's still showing the SAME image it did yesterday.

You hit it spot on & I think that's what MANY of us are upset over,because after the lift it appears like the ride just loses it's punch. A hyper/giga should be about the height dirrentials throughout the ride's course(that's why they have no inversions & are like giant versions of out & back woodies) but this is more or less an oversized version of BL:SC with too many small hills & way too many curves. I would've taken a Behemoth clone,or even carowind's 2010 coaster over this personally but since we're stuck with it I'll give it a spin next season.

Good point. Since nobody's done any NL recreations yet I think I'll give it a go. OHH YEEA!!!. Cant wait till a NL version is released of this MONSTA! I'm already working on it & have gotten the lift,drop & pullout done,now I just gotta work on the first turn following the drop.I'm using two of the renderings of the ride layout as a rough guide but be forewarned that my coaster design skills in NL are still on the newbie side as evidenced by the complaints concerning the four rides I've uploaded to the games sub-forum so far.
