sixflagsjunkie88 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Just a project that I thought I would share, its an Intamin Prefab woodie. It is named after an Avenged Sevenfold song, Unbound (The Wild Ride). I have been playing No Limits for a while now so I thought it was time to show some of my progress. Length: 5,940 Height: 168 feet Drop: 158 feet Speed: 67 mph Features: 3 90 degree turns. 3 trains 7 cars each. Silver Gold and Black Comments/Criticism GREATLY appreciated Unbound.zip Unbound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfkk339 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Wow I kinda enjoyed that! The Good: 1.Very Awsome layout 2.Nice speed all the way 3.Awsome 90 degree turns The Bad: 1.Lift wasn't streight 2.Friction wheels on a wooden coasters is a no no... 3.Some bad transitions. I really liked it! Just smooth out some bumps here and there and it would be a great ride! Keep it up! My Verdict: 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 2.Friction wheels on a wooden coasters is a no no... Intamin prefabs actually DO use friction wheels to transport the trains... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyweird Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 ^^ Intamin prefabs tend to have more in common with steel coasters than woodies, this includes the presence of friction wheels, cable lifts, polyurethane wheels, etc. Now on to my rating: I give this a 5/10. Now before you all go ballistic and start crying "underrate!", let me give you my reasons for this. Good: -Nice original layout. -Plenty of airtime! Bad: -Track is ridiculously pumpy! -Lift hill is not straight! -The train collides with itself on at least one occasion. -Banking is off. -Intamin prefabs do not have a steel support structure! (as far as I'm aware) Other comments: -If your going to build an accurate Intamin prefab, I suggest you at least use the AHG to heartline it, since real prefabs are heartlined, and it will fix that banking issue I mentioned. Overall, a great concept, it's just the trackwork that's the problem. Try to improve that in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixflagsjunkie88 Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 I like the constructive criticism, it helps me out a lot. I have been trying my best to work out all the kinks in wooden coasters, my predominant coaster style, so it helps, so thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
