christianscoasters Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 This coaster is inspired by I305. It isn't completely supported because: 1) IDK how to do supports. The ones you see, obviously I know how to make. What I want to do (Scaffolding-like, "A" frame) IDK how. 2) My game starts lagging when I put it a little bit of supports. I had some problems getting the ride smooth right before the final brake fun. Oh, and here's a bonus coaster for you! It's a crappy X-Coaster. I tried really hard on it, failed, and decided there wasn't any reason to continue. So I decided to just upload it here since it was still pretty cool, IMO. Wow, I totally fail at taking NL coaster pictures Any comments? X Coaster.nltrack Intimidator305.nltrack
christianscoasters Posted September 5, 2009 Author Posted September 5, 2009 I learned how to make supports I modified the track a slight bit, as well. Comments? Intimidator305 (Redone).nltrack
themeparkman25 Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Intimidator wannabe: Positives: -Layout. Though I wouldn't say it was the most memorable of all the layouts, it did have a nice selection of airtime hills, overbanked turns and that side to side motion that I personally love. -Trackwork. The track was actually fairly smooth IMO, something I haven't been so lucky to find lately on some NL coasters. So great job! -Supports. You did an excellent job of recreating the sweet supports on i305! However, you also seemed to over support some of the turns (that one that has a MF feel to it) and under banked some (when you went to two tube track). Negatives: -Supports. See above. -The lift hill. Instead of having it split into three sections, just have one continuous lift. The transfer track used at the bottom was inaccurate and the second chain on top was unneeded. Simply split the lift into three sections and use the box to adjust speed and acceleration that way. Overall this was a great ride, I really want to hand it to you how much I enjoyed this coaster. Keep it up fa sho. X Coaster Positives: -Had nice moments of airtime and the rolls on top. It was also nice to see the additional track outside of the typical x-car loop thing. Negatives: -Before you post a coaster on here, make sure it passes the tunnel test! Change all the track to be enclosed, and then make sure nothing penetrates the tunnel. In this case you had a support that killed me. Which leads me to my next point... -Supports! You had the track far undersupported almost everywhere on this coaster. Make sure when you build these coasters that you use real life coasters to use as an example. Further, make custom supports so you don't have ones in places they shouldn't be (ie death pole) -Brakes. Or in this case probably the lack of them. Make the brake run longer so you don't go blowing into the station like that. Overall this coaster wasn't really as good as the previous one. Just take your time and I am sure this would be a better coaster. Good job though. [/b]
KDCOASTERFAN Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Once again I had to scrap my intimidator track,this time because the stupid track was twisting itself when trying to connect to the brakerun.

The transfer track used at the bottom was inaccurate and the second chain on top was unneeded. Simply split the lift into three sections and use the box to adjust speed and acceleration that way. I did have it in 3 parts, but what I wanted to do originally was have the lift at the same speed the entire time. In order for the ride to not go too fast, the top of the lift had to be slowed down. Having it at the same slow speed, it was taking too long for the train to make it to the top. The only option I had was putting the second chain on.

Thanks for the feedback though
themeparkman25 Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 ^Absolutely dude! I really want to hand it to you for the i305 coaster, it really was awesome! If you make new coasters I want to test them for sure!
