[Real]

This is an old ride (2004) in which the only tools used were AHG and smoother (which now comes with NL) All hand built.

 

====================

Quatro

 

Height: 157ft

Drop: 135ft

Speed: Approx 65mph

Length: 4684ft

Inversions: 0

Elements: 2 outwardly banked airtime hills, 2 helicies and a warped diving helix

Airtime Hills: 9

 

 

Quatro got its name from its creation length. I started this project on Tuesday, Oct 12th and Finished it today, Friday the 15th. I added a day because I had an old version of the one I lost while jumbling my NL folder around (bad idea kids, dont do it)

 

So, this ride, completely (I had the ideas from the old one, but took nothing from it) was built from Tuesday to Friday. I used all the tools to my advantage, Busters smoothers and then once I got it close, I used Busters Auto Heartline Tool to do the rest. I will say, that tool is GREAT but your track has to be perfect...and it doesnt always do what you expect, which youll find a few odd points in this track.

 

Supporting took me from Wednesday morning till this morning. All in all, its pretty good for 4 days work, but not good enough for anything else.

 

Known Issues:

Slow last helix because I was in a hurry (Deadline was Friday)

Odd shaping and banking in few areas

Rushed supports

Timing goes to crap after around 10 or so cycles...not too bad.

I LOVED this ride! How did you do in the contest?

 

Very few pumps, great layout, and amazing airtime. The pacing wasn't great in some parts, but it was nothing bad enough to ruin the great flow of the ride.

 

My favorite part was the lateral airtime on the second hill---awesome idea with that one.

I won. I dont remember the exact contest (I could look it up) but I believe I won. Im most proud of how long it took me to do the ride. Normally supports bore me like the day is long, but I stuck to it and finished the thing.

 

Thanks!
