I think I might push it back a bit. Perhaps August 1st?

Thanks for the info Robb. I'll remember incase I see another "Email Dan" link

^I just got rid of it. I think I'm getting adjusted to the program now Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

Uploaded with ImageShack.us This is the best I've got so far, I think.

Heres what I came up with: Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us The loop now looks more B&M-y

Press print screen on your keyboard, open up paint or something similar, Control+V and save.

^ How would I do that? like, make the g's at the bottom of the drop larger?

^ Okay, that turned out better than I thought! Anything else I could fix at this point?

^ Kinect is basically an advanced Eye Toy, which I still have, and still use (rarely) But I agree the price point is much too high. Not to mention the games are gonna run $40+ which is gonna make it even more expensive. I probably won't get this unless it drops to $99 and if my brother is willing to pay half.

^ Thanks for those tips. And that track was pretty much just a play-around thing. I wasn't going for good element shaping at all Right now I'm making a full track with Newton... and I'm running into some problems. After the drop, I try to make a loop with single zone force, and I can't get the track to curve up! I've changed the parameters and everything, it just isn't happening... EDIT: Okay, I'm messing around with the normal force, and if I change it to a sextic transition, it points upward, but the loop doesn't take shape if I increase the time...

Actually, I'm having a problem saving Newton tracks for later. If I save the element, It saves as a NLELEM file, but when I try to open, the file doesn't show up. I'm confused on this one...

I haven't really given myself enough time to get acclimated to the program. I have those tutorials handy. They are helping I'm getting the feel of the program and how the transitions work and stuff, I just need to get past the learning curve and start to master it.

^ No don't need it done fast at all. I guess I could try to do the whole ride in Newton2... I'll give it try.

Does anyone know how I can smooth out the transitions between elements? i'm making a half-newton ride with the main elements Newton-ed. Between the elements, there is an incredible bump. Anyway to fix this? I've included the track file for anyone who wants to take a look. Sterling-The ride.nltrack

Hostel. I had nightmares for a week after that one.

^ I enjoyed the floorless coaster I rode... I didn't think it was gimmicky at all. Nor the stand-ups. Gravity Max, now THAT is a gimmick...

You just opened up a realm of memories for me I was there 4 years ago, I'm just reminiscing on the fun times I had. Me and my brother rode every ride that was open. Anyway, X2 looks very good in its new paint. I'm looking forward to the rest of the pictures

Haha, pretty much the same here. I'm fine with swiss cheese but things like when something is overly bumpy (can't look at an extremely acne filled face) I just cringe and want to scratch it until it is smooth. Also... I can't look at a potato when they start sprouting the little twigs... I cringed in fear and started shaking just typing that sentence. If I see one I run away super fast and start jumping around. Its that horrible

^^ I think we can expect something B&M-y but also with some new elements. They have never tried tackling anything near this, and if I were them I would put some cool elements in the really make it stand out from the WingRiders and the Arrow 4th dim. ^I'm guessing it could have new restraints, but I'm not counting on it.

^ Or better yet have a whole NEW theme park open down here in the Springs! It could have this! Along with the new 500 foot Intamin!

^^If all goes well I'd love to see one at Elitch Gardens

That was unexpected, at least by me...

UGH. Those restraints look horrible. Almost as bad as Intimidator. Why must EVERY good coaster (because this has already been built) be butchered with OSTR's?!??!111? Snarf snarf. Don't people understand that this is CONCEPT ART. Its obviously photoshopped with a picture of Furius Baco... I never thought this would be in B&M's market for this kind of ride, but I'm sure they will find a way to make it great. (Unless this becomes B&M's first failure... I really don't want it to be )

^ Haha, sex education is teaching abstinence, but it doesn't work. during my middle school years I know at least 5 girls that have been pregnant Quite sad.

Riddler's Revenge came in 1999 if I recall correctly. Maybe its just because I absolutely loved my 2 rides on Riddler's Revenge on my one sole trip to Magic mountain 4 years ago that I want to see a B&M stand-up.
