Lakeside Park Adds Two New Rides For 2007
rollerdude replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I have driven by Lakeside on my way to ski resorts in the mountains twice. Too bad it was in February. I really want to go ride the Cyclone, and I have heard so much about the lights. Hopefully these are great additions to the park. -
Caliber is a GCI wood twister and is about 110 feet high. It features 7 high banked turns, a buckel, two low airtime hills, and an ending figure-8. There is one spot on top of the last big hill where the airtime goes red, but Im too lazy to fix it at the moment. Undertow is a Eurofighter about 115 feet high with only one inversion. Its fast and intense, but pretty short. The heartline roll was completely custom, so go easy on that. All the gs are in the green except for one part where it barely goes into the yellow. Blaze is still being worked on. It is a B&M terrain giga coaster. The trackwork is finished and the supports are about 70* done. Undertow.nltrack Undertow Caliber.nltrack Caliber

Lightyear

I knew there were close calls, but not THAT close. I will have to fix those. -
Patriot media day!
rollerdude replied to Hobbesx2's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Although this is cool stuff, it is old. Patriot does look good with that white stripe though! -
Lightyear
rollerdude replied to rollerdude's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
^^^I had to modify it a little bit so it would go faster through the elements, especially the immlemann. I would have liked a faster coaster, but I didn't want to add LIM's on a ride that wouldn't have them. Im going to try and stay as realistic as possible with this game. -
This is Lightyear, a 150 foot tall floorless coaster with a max positive geforce of 4.2. It took me about a week to create it all. Here is the track download. I hope you guys like it. Lightyear.nltrack

ST is still my favorite wooden coaster. I guess that shows that I haven't been on very many good woodies, or that it rained right before my last two rides the last time I was there. It is getting rough though.

Thanks for all the help guys. I will run to S:UF first and go around the park after. You guys are awesome.

Hey guys. In a couple of days, I am going to Chicago and will visit SFGAm while I am there. I want to ride S:UF (Never been on one), but I heard the lines were really long. What is the best time to go ride it during the day? I am going on a Thursday. Also, how are the lines for raging bull, Deja Vu, and American Eagle? Thanks.

Woah. I agree with Carnage and Canadmos. I still hope I can get out there and ride it. -
Cedar Fair's "Maverick"
rollerdude replied to MJHammer1's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
New theory, but I have high doubts. Take "bear" and "a-foot" and mix them together. A new ride could be called Bearclaw? I have high doubts though. -

Sorry to sound stupid, but what is extra ride time? -
Some new stuff for the Patriot
rollerdude replied to OzCatter's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think its supposed to seeing that it's called the Patriot, its painted red, white, and blue, its in the Americana section of the park, etc. -

Ok, we have confirmed the vertical drop. From what I can see, it looks like there is a support beam every 5 to 10 feet. Wow. -

rollerdude replied to OzCatter's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
They really did a great job with the paint job on this. I really love the racing stripe on the track. I hope we will see that more often. That drop looks like amasing from that angle too. I don't like the trains too. I don't think they should have done the restraints red. If they did blue, I would think that there would be too much. Maybe white? That would get too dirty. Black? Un-American, but so is yellow. I just dont get it. -

The beginning looks like it will suck. The turnaround is very wierd for sure and the whole ride seems to lack speed from what the animation looks like. The S-turn into the overbank looks like an amasing combo full of lateral Gs. The ending looks very fun with those pops of airtime. -
^I have skipped school to go to CP on opening day. I just didn't go for a big coaster and stand and wait for it to open. I was just happy to ride a roller coaster in six months.

Cedar Fair's "Maverick"
rollerdude replied to MJHammer1's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I like that name. I think it would fit good in Frontiertown too. For some reason, I have this gut feeling that CPs next coaster will be from B&M and the track will be painted aqua. Strange. -
IMHO, I don't really think the lines will be that long. On TTD, I have waited 1 hour and 45 minutes and we had to go through four or five queue sections. This queue isn't anywhere near the size of the queue of TTD. I don't think the trains will slow down capacity either. Correct me if I'm wrong, There are 5 cars in a train with either 18 or 20 seats in a train. There are three trains too. Thats not that bad. Also, its a school day, Only die-hard enthusiasts and people lucky enough to be at the park that day will be riding it.

I wonder how much more amasing the ride will look after all the theming is complete...
