Jds03 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 So I just finished the layout of an Intamin Megalite in No Limits and I’m looking to hear what people think before i put supports on. Also if anyone has a name or color suggestion, please share because I'm having creative block right now. Basically I just want to know if anything works/ doesn’t work with the layout, Specifically the little two railed ending that I think kind of drags on because it’s too slow. megalite.nltrack Veiw from the top Overall layout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterguy99 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I have one question for you.. Whats that yellow line that goes along your track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loefet Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 ^ That is the Heart-line. ^^ You really need to tone down the hills in the end, it's way too much. Half the number of them and you would get a better ride. Also, if you have to smooth/tweak the ride quite a bit then you would have killer ride in the end.

coasterguy99 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 ^ I figured that much. But how? And that was a pretty slick coaster, the only thing I personaly didn't lke was how the lift jerked the train onto it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jds03 Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 ^ I figured that much. But how? It's under display, you just click Show Heatline and it should show up. The annoying thing though, is that you have to do that on each of the veiws. And that was a pretty slick coaster, the only thing I personaly didn't lke was how the lift jerked the train onto it Thanks, but yeah, one of the things with the lift was that I changed it halfway through, because I had the impression that megalites had a really relaxed curve into and out of the lift, but after I looked at pictures of Kamikaze I realized it was just the exit and I changed it...maybe too much...

BkkMan13 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Another great looking intamin! I love its curves and the unique layout. Good job, i'll download it when I got more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 ^^^I'm not completely sure, but I think he was trying to get the feeling you were on a cable lift. That's not the finished product,correct? I hit a red G toward the end of the ride, and hit a few yellow G's. The layout however, was fun and gave some nice air.

Eric_Smith Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 This looks like a great coaster. It looks like it has a tone of airtime . As for the name, I think any fierce animal would be great for this coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The layout however, was fun and gave some nice air. Yes, I’m still going to smoothen it, which is why I haven’t started to add the supports. And the yellow G's aren’t a problem, there all intentional verticals, meaning the one positive 4.5 is just a really strong turn, and the yellow negatives mean it's extremely strong ejector. El Toro hits 1.4 or 1.5 on most of its hills and even gets to 1.6 on the one before the twister section. This ride also hits 1.6 on its max. Just wondering…Where did you see the red G?

the ghost Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 For a logo do cats eyes and call it fierce. Color it black with orange ties, and it will look like a tiger. It might have been a glitch, I did not get any red g's during my second ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Pretty fun rides! Besides smoothing, there are a few things to touch up on. First of all, I would nix that last 2-rail section; it just doesn't add much to the ride, IMO. Also, you have some G-force problems that you may not have picked up on. In Picture 1, you can see that that your last 3-rail hill produces negative G's of -1.9...that's a bit 'too' forceful. Maybe try reducing the entry angle to that hill? Finally, in Picture 2, this turn reaches 4.9 G's...not sure if you were aware of this. It's not too major, but is a bit much for an Intamin Megalite. I'm excited to see the finished product! megalite_210-1-090201165414001.bmp Picture 2 megalite_210-1-090201165258000.bmp Picture 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freefall-nlc Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 High to Me a few things have struck: 1.) The radials (vertically and horizontally) sometimes are too closely 2.) the Heartline does not run steadily, softy 3.) banking is sometimes put too much or not enough - there high lateral G's step on 4.) I would hold the end shorter Divides the Segemente into steady segments (key: y) it does a nice smoothe distance. I mostly use 10 to 20 metres long segments;) I hope I could help Edit: thx for pictures ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
