Speeddeamon128 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Today I started my latest NL coaster. I am making a B&M stand up. Right now I've finished the first drop, vertical loop, & second hill. I still have a lot of work to do with the bottom of the first hill & I have to get the top of the second hill's gs out of red. I have a basic idea for the layout & will post is as soon as I doodle it in school Here are the pics from todays progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rct3Mike Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 For the loop I'd suggest using the pre-made loop under file - insert element... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niiicolaaah Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Wow... couldn't you have waited until you had more than a drop, a loop, and 2 pictures before you made this thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speeddeamon128 Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 ^^ I did use the insert element for the loop but I had to adjust the loop with the first drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speeddeamon128 Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Today I worked on my stand up project for about 2 hours. I got the gs are in green now & the ride is riding smooth. I've added a cobra roll & another hill & have a general outline of what the ride will look like & how long it will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Looks nice, especially for a beginner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speeddeamon128 Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 ^ Thanks. I'm trying really hard to make this as believable as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speeddeamon128 Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 I worked on the ride a bit today & added a brake run & downward helix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speeddeamon128 Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Also I would like everyone's opinion on this video. I would like to no if the ride is smooth enough or if the speed is ok. Thanks!

triggernel Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Could You make the helix at the end maybe a little steeper, so that it has some speed, maybe even make it smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speeddeamon128 Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 ^Thanks for the advice I'll look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4rturo Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Some comments: Make the bottom of the 1st drop smoother, not so abrupt Add some banking on the cobra roll, in the middle part of the half-loops (hope I'm explaining myself) Add more banking in the turn before entering the brakes. Reshape your loop so that it has a teardrop shape And as said before do not make the helix so flat. Hope that isn't much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speeddeamon128 Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 ^ Thats great help. I am working on smoothing the first drop. I already made the helix steeper & shorter. Thanks again. I will try to bank the cobra roll (I understood what you meant ) later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speeddeamon128 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 My first No Limits stand up coaster is now complete & I'm calling it Firebird! I want to thank everyone for their advice & comments on this project. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speeddeamon128 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 Here is the video. [coastertube]http://www.themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=Firebird_NEW_7t6v[/coastertube] Thanks again for following my NL project. I am already thinking of ideas for my next coaster.

DiSab Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Not bad. Could still use a bit of work on banking on some parts (especially the half-loops into and out of the cobra roll, and the hill going into the MCBR). I don't think I've seen a stand-up with that many airtime hills before (or a stand-up with any airtime hills ). Definitely would be something to experience in person.

Speeddeamon128 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 ^Thanks! I did not want a lot of inversions with this coaster & whats a good coaster with out airtime If I get a chance or feel like it I might fix up the ending & cobra roll but I'm happy with Firebird the way it is now. Yeah it would be cool if there was this much airtime would be on an actual stand up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Well, your track work is definitely getting smoother! The banking on lots of elements was very strange, and there were some pretty painful lateral G's along the course... Next coaster, it's about time for you to start implementing heartline!
