Unnamed Arrow [NL]

[AmyUD06]

Arrow Dynamics was put on the map by their compact Corkscrew coasters that were cloned countless times in various parks throughout the world. Their true glory came in in their massive multi-looper coasters like Anaconda and Great American Scream Machine which held world records for their time, What would you get if you combined the compact benefits of the old with the intenstity of the new?

 

This:

Only 100 feet tall at the peak of the lift with a footprint of 573x142 feet, this yet-to-be-named monster reaches nearly 50 miles per hour and traverses over a half-mile of track including 6 inversions: two vertical loops, a batwing, a corkscrew, and the rarely-seen "cutback."

 

(This is the second coaster that I've finished in NL; the first was a simple out-and-back woodie. I know that it's rough at points and will hit yellow Gs in certain seats, but hey, it's an Arrow...it's supposed to be rough. Anyway, I'm pleased with it but in retrospect I think I may have gone overboard with the supports at times. I've also included a prototype without the cutback element or any supports. Any and all criticism is more than welcome.)

 

EDIT: Turns out it didn't even hit 50mph; Modified some supports; New version uploaded.

FINAL finished version. (Never tested in NL 1.5, so it may not make a full lap without the Improved Friction on.)

Overview

I think it looks nice, pretty creative way to use some unoriginal elements. I like it, but I can't ride it, no Nl.
