New Age Retro Looper [No Limits]
Cygnus12 replied to Cygnus12's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
The supports for an Arrow cutback are on that side. I used the cutback (the only cutback ever made I think) on Drachen Fire as reference. history.amusement-parks.com/Drachen%20Fire/drachenfire2.jpg The vertical Gs in the cutback are: Entrance: +3.5 Top: +0.6 Exit: +2.5 I have no idea if that's the way it should be but it seems fine I think. -

New Age Retro Looper [No Limits]

Hows this? I made the width smaller and raised it a bit. To get enough speed I raised the brake block a bit. -
New Age Retro Looper [No Limits]
Cygnus12 replied to Cygnus12's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
The Gs are fine but there is a bit of hangtime. I'll play around with it and see what I can do. It has to be sort of low though since I don't have a whole lot of speed at that point, which is why I made the track dip down into a ravine before going into it. -

A space shot or turbo drop tower. -
New Age Retro Looper [No Limits]
Cygnus12 replied to Cygnus12's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
I fixed up some areas, worked on terrain a little and took out the final corkscrew. Here's the new sections: In place of the corkscrew is a turn that heads under the first corkscrew. The train dives into a ravine, into a turn... ...and then heads into a cutback over a section of track that leads from the station to the lift. I still have some more track bending to do before I start support building again. -

It really does look like one of those Japanese coasters. I always like how they have the catwalk running the whole length of the ride. -
It's been quite some time since I've built a No Limits coaster. My last upload to Coaster Crazy was on 09/21/2007 with a wooden track called Seedy Point Roller. My last steel track was uploaded on 04/03/2005! In lieu of not building a steel coaster for years now, I decided to build New Age Retro Looper. Let's say that Arrow Dynamics never went out of business; how would a 2008 Arrow megalooper look? That's what I tried to do with this track. I'm still going around and smoothing different sections out, but the layout is pretty much set. I'm thinking about switching out a corkscrew with a 'cutback' however. Going up the lift and coming off the block brake. A tight but incredibly tall Arrow style loop. Interlocking corkscrews. They tried it on Drachen Fire! A bowtie, no megalooper is complete without one.

You should have put it out in his frickin' eye with wreckless abandon. lol -
What Was The Last Coaster You Rode?
Cygnus12 replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think it was Batman: The Ride at Six Flags Great Adventure Here's a picture I took of it just before my camera died. I even got Nitro's train a little bit! -

Haha that thing is cool. It kind of reminds me of the Tivoli manufactured 'Force 10' in appearence. However the Force 10 is more like an insanely fast Enterprise that can spin the wheel horozontal while in the air, much like a Chance 'Chaos.' You can't spin the cars or anything though. Here's a video I found of the Force 10. -

What the heck? I thought that the Hang Ten flatride was made by SDC! -
Do you like videos with onride commentary?
Cygnus12 replied to JFrombaugh's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I like the ambient noise as well as opposed to commentary. Like DenDen said above, some of the people sound really dumb! I always remember those Discovery Channel coaster shows. Half the time the person would be like "oooohhh! heres the high G helix!! The best par...uuuuwaaaahhahhahahaaaaaaaahhhhgggggggh -art!!!!!!!!!!!" -

Top Thrill Dragster Stalls Again
Cygnus12 replied to yankees15's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I didn't even realize it was only 4 riders...even though it's in the first sentence looking back . Maybe if they worked at it for a while lol. However a full trainload most likely could have. -
Top Thrill Dragster Stalls Again
Cygnus12 replied to yankees15's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I wonder if the riders could have leaned forwards and backwards in unison and gotten the train to start rolling again by shifting the load. That would have been a site to see lol. -
Nice TR! I really need to get myself over to Germany next year and go to one of these fairs. For a flatride lover like myself, it would be heaven. lol Also, I remember seeing a video of one of those Inversion rides when the seats were unlocked; the way they would snap and spin looked really viscious!
