Magic Mountain, please get this flatride!
davisal771 replied to alexinla's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Why is it playing the Jurassic Park music in a transformers flat? I don't know if I could handle that one, I'd probably get really sick... It still looks fun, though. -
Umm, I sit at home and play video games. Sometimes I'll walk to the store, but it's too far to walk there on a daily basis. When I'm at my dads place, I'll go swimming, he lives in a condo complex with a pool But otherwise my summers are epically boring. I'm just glad my dad has such a flexible schedule that he can drive me and my friends around town And about 16 year olds taking road trips, me and a few friends are already planning on taking a road trip to a theme park (as soon as we are of age ), I just have to convince the girls to sleep in the car... They would pay for a hotel Now convincing my parents to let me go, that's another story...

[NL] Sterling- The Ride
davisal771 replied to davisal771's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
Is this ride worth a 5.33? That's what I got on NoLimits-Exchange... -
^ Yes. I agree. The only major theme park we have here is Elitch Gardens, and pretty much every coaster that is here is a cookie cutter/clone. We have Mind Eraser, an SLC, Boomerang which is, err, a Vekoma Boomerang, Halfpipe, which is an Intamin Halfpipe, Sidewinder, an Arrow shuttle, and we had The Flying Coaster, a Zamperla Volare I wouldn't be so fast to complain about long lines/lack of flat rides when your park is one the best in the country. Believe me, I'd rather wait in a 2 hour line for El Toro or Nitro or Kingda Ka or S:UF or Bizzaro or Batman: The Ride than wait in an hour line for The Boomerang or Mind Eraser because my friends don't realize how crappy those coasters actually are. This probably isn't making much sense but the gist of it is don't complain about the minor details of your park when your park is one of the top parks in the country.

They need to keep that music in the station. It's one of my favorite station songs! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCV-7gxJI0E I wouldn't like a retheme, either. I do think a nice, fresh coat of paint would be nice, though. Thank you soooo much for posting that song. I've been dying to hear it since the last time I rode, which was 4 years ago I can relive it now

In the end thats all these people want anyway... -
So I'm back with another coaster, this one my personal favorite. Its an Intamin Stand-up made in the late 80's. It is the only stand-up coaster made with an Immelmann loop. It stands tall at 154 feet, reaches a speed of 61 MPH, but is on the short side at a track length of just 2250 feet. It has a maximum positive G force of +3.7, and a negative of -0.4. Its highest lateral G is 1.2. I'm planning on making roller coasters named after all of my friends (for whatever reason this seemed like a fun idea) so that is where the name came from. The supports are all custom and are made based on other Stand-ups. Without further adieu, here are some pics, and a track download. Tasty first drop Big A$$ loop Nice little Immelmann to spice things up On the MCBR The corkscrew is taken at a high speed Your journey begins here (With a wayyy too long predrop, any suggestions to make it a bit shorter? IMMELMANNNNNNNN Screwin' the cork Sterling-The ride.nltrack And finally the download.

[REL] Revamped LIM Launch CTR
davisal771 replied to Krypt's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
I already saw the trains on Wilhelm's mine train coaster, and they look great! How do you make them? I know it involves modeling, but what program do you use? and how do you make it fit on the track perfectly? That seems like it would be incredibly hard to do! -
Over The Shoulder Restraints. (OTSRs)
davisal771 replied to Movieguy's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Like a skyfire/kamizaze? those are double inverting ships and have metal OTSRs that don't hold you in at all. It was utter chaos in that cage... me and my friend were actually screaming for our lives -

^ The Chance Chaos restraints are pretty comfy aswell. Top Spins are the worst, mainly because they break your ribs when they close... (that was a little bit of an exaggeration ) -

I feel bad for the donkey, but at the same time I can't help but laugh -
[RCT2] Six Flags Over Lake Erie
davisal771 replied to Pingu1651's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
Huh, I guess I never thought that could be a franchise name that SF gave to their water rides. I'm looking forward to the new ride! 1994, I hope its a B&M stand-up -

Wow! The 3Ds look amazing! Are you planning on uploading this to No-LimitsExchange? This could easily get in the top 10 if its a good ride! -
Cedar Point's New Woodie [NL]
davisal771 replied to davisal771's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
I had thought about that, but I figured not many would be making them, plus, I didn't want to just completely rule out inversions, as I don't care either way. If anyone has progress they are welcome to post it here -

davisal771 replied to davisal771's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
^It will really depend on the severity. If you have one G spike for a split second that isn't very high then I won't count it (Really just need to wait 'till judging day). But if I see constant spikes of 100+ (I've seen it before, just look at some of the low rated coasters over at nolimits exchange ) I've added everyone to the list -

Its looking quite good! I also love how your water ride is called "Shipwreck Falls". Thats the name of the one at Elitch Gardens. And at EG, it has a splashdown bridge... coincidence?
