Xpress Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 XSIV is my idea of what the iSpeed coaster at Mirabilandia. It's an Intamin, but packs a punch with multiple airtime hills, multiple inversions (zero-g-rolls included), and the kickoff- a 67mph launch with a 162ft. tophat. Ride is still progressing: The layout sofar
the ghost Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Please make the thread title more descriptive. The coaster itself looks great!
Xpress Posted March 13, 2009 Author Posted March 13, 2009 Please make the thread title more descriptive. The coaster itself looks great! Better? Newton-ified Gotta sort out the exit of the tophat to the entrance to the first airtime hill. Pumpy..
Xpress Posted March 13, 2009 Author Posted March 13, 2009 Update. Got the layout finished, and spent another hour working on the tophat. It's now smooth as can be- just have to work on some bankings to get the twists as lateral free as possible. Right now, it gets to -0.6 on both sides. I also made a cartexture: Edit: Just realised I double posted. Sorry..
rollerboy Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Wow! This is looking awesome. Keep up the good work man.
Vid_w Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Dude, how'd ya make the tophat? Lol, I tryed and tryed with hSAK, but never really got it to work... Also, I love that you're basing it of ispeed, lol, that's been my obsession for the last month, but, yeah, due to the tophat problem, I never got far... The track looks nice, btw!
Xpress Posted March 22, 2009 Author Posted March 22, 2009 ^I made the tophat with many arduous hours of work. Probably 5-6 hours total, and even so I'm still tweaking it, but I think I've got it. only -0.6 lats, and that's probably just rotational laterals rather then side laterals.
dr.gumbo Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 ^ I've tried top hats a few times, but every time it ended up as a mess. They're probably one of the hardest element to actually make well with perfect laterals. As for the ride as a whole, I'm not the biggest fan of the layout personally but I am looking forward to it. Judging from your other rides it should be pretty smooth.
Xpress Posted March 22, 2009 Author Posted March 22, 2009 ^Lol yeah, it's pretty much perfect IMO. It's got the same general shape as Xcelerators tophat, so it's a good candidate for a recreation (NO you may NOT use it).
