Vekoma Fan Boy Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Looks Nice, and as for a name how about... Frame Eater! Seriously, I HATE the B&M's on no limits, simply because looking at one 3-car train, my framerate goes from ~60-80 to ~3-5. Damn, I can't wait till christmas...

asr Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Looks nice, but short. The immelmann also looks way out of whack, as the exit turns the oposite way it should for how the track is twisting. On the subject of names, how about Wildfire, Wildcat, Peregrine, or Jaguar? Simple, cool sounding, and intimidating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfie Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 ^Yeah... I'm not very good at creating Immelmans, so you'll notice some jerking in it that I just can't seem to get rid of. The opposite banking you mentioned really doesn't wreck the inversion at all - think of the zero-g roll on Montu! p.s. It was inspired by a compact design; therefore, this model is a compact design.

asr Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Actually, in that picture of Montu, I really don't see anything wierd or strangly banked about it. And I don't actually have NoLimits, I was just going of the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfie Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 Ah, whatever - it makes for a unique inversion (just wait until I release it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steffen_Dk Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I think it looks awesome. A bit short, but I don't care about that, when the layout looks like that.. Great job, and can't wait for the download Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfie Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 ^Nice. I'm thinking along the theming of mining (I know... how unique! ) with a mine shaft-type entrance and a few tunnels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corkscrewy Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Has no one else noticed its a NoLimits version of this. http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=36882 haha looks good by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCJared Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Yes, i think we all knew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said it was inspired by that ride. However, looking at that thread again, I didn't realize before that this was an exact clone of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwantRevenge Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 How about: Magnum or Bali Raj (A muslim demon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfie Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 I didn't realize before that this was an exact clone of it. That's because it isn't. The exit out of the immelman turns the other way and the inclined loop is different. It's similar, but not a clone. Instead of suggesting names, I'm going to come up with one. I'm also coming up with a story taken right from the old Wild West, so expect to see something later today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfie Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 Just a little update so you guys know this project isn't being left in the ditch... I'm working with CCJared (once again - he also worked on Nightmare with me). He's taking care of most of the 3ds which will include some mining tunnels and mine shafts. I can't wait to see how it turns out (Because I only gave him some VERY vague outlines). I'd estimate this to take anywhere from 1-2 weeks, so sit tight!

Steffen_Dk Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Hey... Where do you get that white background?? It looks really good when you use it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiCoastal Kid Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Honestly, had you kept the direction of the immelman exit it probably would have worked better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airtime&Gravity Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Very nice, but too bad it isn't real Oh yeah, a name, how about: Ripsaw-theme it to an old lumber mill Adrenaline -science experiment gone awry Pheonix-theming similar to Sheikra(African village) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfie Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 I like "Ripsaw", but it doesn't fit the theming being made at the moment. Can anyone come up with a name to fit mining and caves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 How about Shaft Diver or Coal Dropper? (I know they are weird, my brain is starting to turn off because it summer so I can't think of names very well.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterFreakZac Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 What about something like Cave Dweller or Cave In! I know both of them are stupid but that's all I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
