Six Flags Enthuseast Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I JUST noticed that! I wouldn't really associate it with a bad coaster, it looks pretty cool. Maybe think of it as a Premier LIM Shuttle; the track looks like the same structure as that........ Wait, Premier wheel failure! Is this just destined to not be popular due to similarities of previous failures??? But you know what I mean. Maybe it'll end up being a good element, like that one on that Japaneese coaster that everyone rode on that 2004 trip to Japan. Remember, the one that had both that element and the one from Viper?(SFGAd) That was one of the most screwed up coasters ever! Made by Togo (was it??? ) had elements from two horrid catastrophes, but ended up being ok. But yeah, don't make the next element based on a messed up coaster that 86% of the world wouldn't care for. Just a suggestion so nobody freaks out saying "Oh no! Windjammer has returned!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I'd go with an original name, such as... CLIMB & TWIST! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrX8991 Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 It can be called the What-cha-ma-call-it. Anyhoo, more support work is done. And the overbank. More supports. Yay. Rest of the inversion done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Interesting........ So the What-ch-ma-call-it looks the same, I like the overbank, the supports are good. Nothing too concerning here! Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when we rode it last year, it was still awesome, like every other Togo/Mesiho coaster we rode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 That's weird! I thought most Togo's were classified as horrible pieces of junk most of the time. Weird......... I figured it out; Togo is Japanese, so they make good coasters ONLY for Japan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Come on! We need UPDATE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrX8991 Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 Sorry, I've had an English project, and haven't done much. That project is over, so expect an update tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrX8991 Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 Here ya go, as promised! Here's another view from the top of the lift. The 90-degree turn. Zero-G Roll. Low to the ground turn-around! 2nd major camel back. View from the top of the lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Ok, for this weeks critique, I noticed that in the Zero-G Roll one of the supports went to another footer. Kinda like that one with the hill where 4 supports went to one footer, but this one only has 3. I also noticed the same thing for the 2nd camelback. But those two aren't so bad, so I'll let you decide what you want to do with it. Still nice job as always! Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrX8991 Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 I think the zero-g picture must be misleading because it only has two sets per footer, not three. However, your point is valid for the camel back. Thanks for the input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six Flags Enthuseast Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Yeah, I noticed that I was wrong about it too. Thanks for correcting me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrX8991 Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 No problems! Anyhoo, finished the supports for the ride. It didn't take long as all but 2 hills and a turn are so close to the ground, I just used pre-fab supports. Whoa! The last few hills and the brake run. Bigger hill and turn. Two small bunny hops.

MrX8991 Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 Okay, landscaping is done. I tried to make paths and other things, but couldn't make it look good enough, so scenery is confined to trees. First, the photos! Jolt (Intamin Supports).nltrack The ride. Now, it's your turn to ride! Overbank and the sun. View from across the lake. "GOING DOWN!" Overview of the ride. View from the top of the lift.

Six Flags Enthuseast Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Although I don't have the proper track type, I really love this coaster! It has no yellow forces, it has a few good inversions, and I like the -0.4 g on the hill! I think it's a cool ride, and I'm glad you were able to complete it!

MrX8991 Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 What coaster type are you using? With the X-Car type, it gets up to -0.7 g's on the hill and -1 g on the first inversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 On my game it counts it as a normal looping coaster. How do I get the X car thingy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 ^ You have to download No Limits 1.7. It's a free download. Good ride, it was really fun, it had little pumps but it was still awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrX8991 Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 Thanks for the feedback! Here is the video, sorry for the delay! By the way, I think I am either going to try an Intamin launching coaster similar to Maverick or a woodie similar to the Gravity Group's creations.
