DisconnectTheDots Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 This is a work in progress that still needs to be smoothed, have supports added to it, and some other stuff. After I do this, I will post the track. Also, if you were wondering what akui means, it means spite in Japanese. I would appreciate input, thank you! The turn type thing after the cobra roll originally was 0 vertical and lateral g’s for a fairly decent amount of time, but I accidentally changed it and have been trying to get it back to the way it was.
Théo the little french Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Wow!! That looks so original and awesome! I can't wait to ride it!
Tanks4me05 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 It's about time someone makes an original yet realistic ride. I am very impressed! I just wish the second lift hill's drop was a few degrees steeper. Otherwise, I think it's amazing!
kraken613 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 It looks very original. Cant wait to see more!
DisconnectTheDots Posted February 10, 2008 Author Posted February 10, 2008 Thanks for the suggestion about making the second lift a few degrees steeper. I’ll probably do that while I’m smoothing out the entire second part of the ride. Also, if anyone has any ideas of how to reduce the negative g’s on the airtime hill, without adding in a brake segment, that would be great; it is currently getting around -2.1 g's at the highest for a split second. The first drop also gets -2 g’s for a split second but decreases fairly quickly so I don’t know if I should change that or not… I might.
Tanks4me05 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 If you mean the hill right before the loop - it should be simple. Make the hill shorter and of an angle not as steep. But if you do have to use a trim, add in a small boost as soon as possible to gain the speed back up.
DisconnectTheDots Posted February 11, 2008 Author Posted February 11, 2008 I should have specified which hill; I’m actually talking about the one right after the loop. I’ll play around with it and it should work out well in the end.
DisconnectTheDots Posted October 19, 2008 Author Posted October 19, 2008 After a really long time of working off and on my ride, it is almost complete! I finally finished supporting and smoothing it, though it isn't as smooth as I'd like it to be, I'm pretty pleased. I don't know when I will be able to finish it because I've been very busy and I still have to add a bit more theme to the ride, but I'd guess sometime around Christmas or later. As for the theme, back-story, and the new name of the ride will be released at a later date... but here are some pictures! Here is the lift hill with its very bizarre supports. More lift hill and drop... (If my geometry class chose not to fail me and I did the math right the first drop is 99 degrees ) The super exciting first element(s) of the ride. This little element makes me really happy. The first airtimeish hill into the loop. Now the car is diving out of the over-banked turn into... where will it go? That will be revealed next update! (And no it's not just the cobra roll seen in my first post) (Please ignore the "pause on.")
rollerboy Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Wow, looking good so far! I have a Euro-Fighter which I am going to post when I get home, yours looks really unique! Good job.
Kalepi_Konei Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 I really hope you still have that 90 degree turn in there, and if you don't please put it back in and actually OVERBANK it, how cool would that be!? Looks AMAZING! And as for the track colors I LOVE the supports, but the green/purple ehh, not so much. Try variations of the green and purple please. (maybe a slightly darker green or purple if there are any.) P.S. PLEASE! I beg you make a POV on youtube for me!
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 Very cool and original! The colors are awesome, the 99* drop is the steepest in the world (call Guiness World Records; they can't deny that!), and the element changes look smooth. Great job, and keep up the good stuff!
DBru Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 the 99* drop is the steepest in the world (call Guiness World Records; they can't deny that!) But Indiana Beach sure can!
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 ^Oh yeah! Just remembered that! Ok, 2nd steepest drop in the world...
ECZenith Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 I wish they actually made a Eurofighter like this. Nice work!
DisconnectTheDots Posted October 26, 2008 Author Posted October 26, 2008 Thank you all for all the positive feed back! I really appreciate it Sorry for the slow reply though...

Taiko Laughing You do not have worry about the track being changed; everything is essentially the same. The only actual change was that the second lift hill was moved slightly to the left so the ride would pass the tunnel test. I understand not liking the colors, but because I love them too much they will stay the same. I do plan to make a POV, but I don not know how to record on ride footage... so if anyone knows how I would love some help! (That won't be happening for a while though...)

It is kind of weird but that's okay it's a hint to the theme at least! Oooh what could this be?
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 ^Looks like Volcano to me! Well, the name sounds Hawiian to me, so it must be volcano if it's redness!
ECZenith Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 If hell has a Eurofighter like this I'm going to start being extra bad. Heaven only has Vekomas from what I hear anyways.
DisconnectTheDots Posted November 4, 2008 Author Posted November 4, 2008 Sorry for the slow reply, I was on a trip this weekend. I like the hell theme and yes, if Eurofighters are in hell, that is where I am going, but that is not the theme I'm thinking now maybe I should not have made the image so red... that is okay I guess. Six Flags Enthuseast: ^Looks like Volcano to me! Well, the name sounds Hawiian to me, so it must be volcano if it's redness! That is a small part of the theme and the name is going to be changed. The theme of the ride will be based on a place, but not Hawaii, even though it is super cool. Here are two more quick pictures! (They are the same general picture, but not modified.) Ooh fun head choppers! A Larger update is to be this Friday, but may happen earlier or later.
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Ohhh! Ahhh! Looks interesting. Your right about the head choppers, arm choppers if you stick them up too. Can't wait for more!

After hours... hours of painful work on the object placement...
