coastb2 Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Support and tunnel progress. Texas Tornado-090629162000000.bmp
rcroques Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 I am working on a nostalgia project on NL, but I want to see if you guys can guess what ride it is based on one single picture. It's a rough draft thus far, lots of smoothing and adjusting to do. Guess that coaster!
rcroques Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Indeed, I am trying my hand at a Cyclone coaster, namely the late, great Psyclone at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Painful or not, I spent nine months of my coaster operating career on that ride and got to kind of know the coaster to the point that I love it. Today, I was fooling around with NoLimits and I started building and built pretty much the exact layout. Terminator may have replaced Psyclone and it also is miles better than Psyclone... but Psyclone to me represents memories... nostalgia.
PaulMartz37 Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 That first drop looks rough o.o Id reallt like to see how it turns out though Ive got a woodie of my own but I doubt Ill ever finish it. It would need custom supports and I highly doubt Ill be able to pull that off :/ Layout View from the brake run. Turn around under the lift. I want to tunnel it. The turn after the first drop. I also wanted this to be tunnelled
rcroques Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 ^I actually quite like that layout... I really hope that you get the chance to finish it to your liking. If that were real, I'd probably want to ride it. As for my Psyclone recreation, the first drop actually isn't the rough part... the dips, however, didn't really come out as great as I hoped so I'm pretty much trying to tweak them to the real specifications. All I'm working with is an aerial photo and my memory of that ride; by those definitions, the recreation is actually really close... when I watch the simulation, everything is pretty much in its right place. It is funny that you mention roughness though; that coaster's middle name was roughness. I'm also starting a new woodie called ThunderHorse... hopefully I'll have some shots come tomorrow. Expect a really compact GCI with a couple new things... oh, and if you haven't checked it out, a couple pages back I posted my first NL coaster named Marauder. I think it's pretty cool for a first coaster and I can't get over the layout. UPDATE! More shots of Psyclone!
Bob! Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 I'm actually working on my new RCT2 theme park. I'll probably create a new topic soon... SCR39.BMP Wild-Mouse
xChris125x Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Just a little something I've been working on. Almost finished actually.
Quicksilver04440 Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 I have been away from RCT and NL for a while.. was playing around yesterday and started a Movie World park.. Heres a pic of one of the attractions... an Arrow Looper called Die Hard the Ride
Thelegendarymatthew Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 ^^Xccelerator? ^Looks like the parks of when RCT3 came out. Its looks like your just playing for fun.
coasterfreak101 Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 ^I'm not a big fan of the coaster...it just doesn't look right to me. Maybe when themed? I do like what you have with the water ride though! Also: 'Predator.'
coasterfreak101 Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 BUMP!! I got bored, so I decided to mess around with the 4D coaster and see what I could come up with. It's crazydumb...anyways, here's a preview! SCR3.BMP Sit-down --> Backflip --> Flying FUN.
Eric_Smith Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 Wayyyy too many supports on the chain lift. Have you seen an Arrow 4D coaster in real life? To me, it is under supported!
Team Thriller Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 I think the supports look just fine. I just don't like sharp turns (Especially at the bottom of hills) on 4D coasters because in real life, they would hurt so freaking much. --James
kamikazewatermelon Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 That turn there doesn't seem too sharp; As long as the tilt of the trains is good it shouldnt be too painful.
coasterfreak101 Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 @lacrosse14: What Eric_Smith said! @Eric_Smith: What you said! @Team Thriller: I'm not a fan of the RCT turn options at all, but that's the widest turn they give. In reality, it'd start to do a wide turn on the way out of the backflip and would keep turning as it went up into the next element, which is super cool. Just to throw that out there. @kamikazewatermelon: The trains are flying at the time; totally doable in real life. Thanks y'all!
robmiester Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 For the Fiesta Village area in a Knotts-style park.
the ghost Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 ^ Amazing, reminds me a lot of the Fiesta village at knotts, Awesome attention to detail!
Stoksy Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 ^It's robmeister, what do you expect. A little project.... Welcome to Stoksland's Family Amusement Park.
the ghost Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 ^ I am so confused/amazed by that awesome concept. I cant tell what kind of coaster(eurofighter?) and I cant even tell if that is an inversion(it looks like it) awesome work so far!
ericmichaellucas Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 ^^ An amazing concept. I dare to wonder if any inspiration comes from Flamingoland's Mumbo Jumbo. I rekon, depending on the sucess of Mumbo Jumbo if this inversion is already being considered.
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 Look what Daniel's up to... WTF!?!?! lol, looks interesting.
dr.gumbo Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 Look what Daniel's up to... Seen it before. Clearly the most unoriginal ride you've made as of yet. Really, it looks interesting to say the least. I'd like to see what else you have in store for us.
