Freefall Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Hi guys, I'm building my first euro fighter! I want this coaster to be as realistic as I can make it and that includes the supports. however I want this coaster to have many new elements never before seen on a coaster. The 1st one of a kind element is show bellow. my beyond vertical lift, into beyond vertical drop, this element will push riders from one extreme to the another and will add to the already very scary drop especially as once on the beyond vertical climb you will not see the track in front of you until you are on the beyond vertical drop! The lift is 50 meters (160ft) tall and produces speeds of 110kph (that's nearly 70mph!) As I said I'm trying to make all the supports as real as possible so please tell me what you think on what I have done so far and to make it easier for you I have labeled the problem areas. you might also notice that the top of the lift is not supported, this is mainly as I want it to have proper euro-figher supports and I'm not sure how its supported at the top. as always any help would be appreciated, thanx! Nice and high. One extreme to the another... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP_RULES Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I dont see anything wrong with A or C, but B is extremely unlikely, probably painful, and if nothing else, pointless. I say keep building this, but remove the beyond verical lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DATman Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 ^If B is unlikely, than how could any of the X-Coasters exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesissoocool Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 ^If B is unlikely, than how could any of the X-Coasters exist? because of a big fat lap bar that staples you in with OTHSR part B would be painful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DATman Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 ^Fine. But this wouldn't be painful at all, as you are barely byond vertical and it is so breif it wouldn't do much anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Structurally the over vertical lift is daft, since it would 'pull' the tower over right from the top IE with great leverage. You would probably need some leg supports as a result: two tripod style ones should do it - I say remove the over vertical lift since it is pointless, both in terms of ride experience and expense structurally.
