Exceller Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 This is my looping Schwarzkopf, Nightmare. Download at the bottom. Showing some of the new support work in the 2nd helix. Heading into a helix in bright sunlight. A train about to go through the second loop. The train going through a support. An overview of the ride that shows the dense amount of trees through the course. A station fly-by. A steeply banked turn. A train getting ready to enter the third loop. A train about to enter through the first loop. A train navigating the first drop. What was... ...and what is. As always, comments and criticism are appreciated.

Team Thriller Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Defiantly has the look. But I don't care for the end after it goes through the loop. I think it should stay more compact and not run through the woods. EDIT: Acually, with the second look, it's pretty cool with the turns over the water. But It looks very nice --James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 It was alright, seriously this ride would have been so much better if it didn't have so many pumps. The ride was great until the end of the second loop, then it got quite pumpy. Make sure you smooth out those pumps and then this ride would be awesome.

AlmereStars Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I agree with the comment above... Nice layout but it has some real pumps, especially just before going into a turn. If you can fix that the ride would be cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xpress Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Those supports. EWWWW, AWEFUL! Swartzkopf has a very very unique way of supporting their steel loopers. Here's their compact ones: http://www.rcdb.com/ig240.htm?picture=23 http://www.rcdb.com/ig197.htm?picture=10 http://www.rcdb.com/ig197.htm?picture=2 http://www.nolimitsdevcenter.net/i24864 And their spread out layouts: http://www.rcdb.com/ig130.htm?picture=34 (loop) http://www.rcdb.com/ig130.htm?picture=37 http://www.rcdb.com/ig130.htm?picture=19 With NL, you can either make your own 3Ds track connectors, or make a track connector out of supports. They aren't hard to make, and they add a very big ammount of realism to the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatch Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Actually, the grating loop support was only used on a few coasters until thy developed the box-beam support. there are open layout coasters that use this, such as Mindbender, and a few others which definitely exist but i forget them lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
