DBru Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 ^I have the same problem! My coasters just don't come out as smooth as they look, so I dump them and start over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillrideseeker Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 ^I have the same problem! My coasters just don't come out as smooth as they look, so I dump them and start over... Mine usually come out smooth it's just the G forces go in excess of 17.5 It pi$$es me off and I delete the entire thing just to start over and have the same thing happen again. RAWR. I had such a good layout to, but no... the G's had to go red. So now I am off to make another one. ~Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterNut17 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I have a progress report! I will not give out all the stats yet, but you can know that it is an Intamin mini-hyper, similar to Maverick, that is 105 feet tall, and 1545 feet long. It was a challenge cramming all that track in there! Trackwork is 100% finished, just needs some smoothing, and supports need to be done yet. That's going to be insane! My coaster is called Eclipse. I will post 2 color variations to see which one gets the best feedback. I will also post a teaser or two. I can't get the picture attachment working. I'll try again in a couple hours!

DBru Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Okay, my trackwork is compete! (For now...) My coaster is an Arrow Compact Multilooper called Black Widow, and it is INSANE! The first three inversions are very compact, yet smooth and not TOO forceful... There is airtime, laterals, hangtime, and much more, all built inside this little bitty marked area! Here is a preview: (Be sure to comment...) Black Widow-080413165445000.bmp Cool inversions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DATman Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Here's my rough design. Just needs smoothing and supports. No idea what it's called yet. Compact Contest.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 ^I didn't find that rough at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DATman Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 ^I meant rough as in like "rough draft" not that the ride was rough. Just that it wasn't finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamjar Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 eep, how am I going to support this!? ooh 3545.74ft AHHHHH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.gumbo Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 ^ Bloody hell, does that pass the tunnel test? Well, I should get back to work on my ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmor Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 ^^ good luck supporting that! It looks like a tunnel test nightmare! One thing I notice is that alot of you guys build the entire coaster THEN smooth it out. OMG!!! Why? I think that's double work in the long run. I always make sure before I go to another track section the one im working on is complete and I also add supports as I go so I can get a feel on the proximity of the next track can be located in conjunction to the support. I dont know if I should give suggestions since i'm running in the contest lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.gumbo Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 ^ Well, your not alone in that. I just CANNOT leave the track I've done flawed, maybe thats why I take so long to build my rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
