Vogelauge [RCT3] [Announcement [15/12/09]]

[KPWoCkAxX]

I present to you.

Vogelauge is a B&M Flyer that is close to the ground and offers spectacular views over the countryside.

Logo to come soon.

 

The falls beneath the lift hill.

 

Support work at the top of the lift.

 

Rest of the layout.

 

The whole layout.

 

Now, here's where I need your help. I'm not happy with the layout after the supports stop. I would like to know your opinion on the layout. I want to keep everything before the last support. So, if you have a better idea of what the layout should be like then please, let me know!

 

Well, that's all for now.

Thanks, KP.

Hmmmm, I have a couple bits of criticism for this ride

1) The supports in the turn around right after the lift hill wouldnt really support the ride, you need to add vertical support columns to support the extended supports.

2) I'm not a fan of the track being on the outside of the loop, it would create a really painful experience for the rider.

 

Other than that, the project is looking pretty solid.

1; unrealistic support work

2; Outside loop on a flyer

3; name! sun? ha!

This is where I get a little curved at people, there's nothing wrong with creativity when it comes to supporting your ride. It's the builder's ride to support, everything doesn't have meet "REAL LIFE" standards.

 

I personally think the support scheme is rather weird, but creative regardless. Nice work!

 

I do agree, the name needs to go.

Well, instead of just writing everything you think is wrong with the ride you could have at least given me some help on what should be right because you arer obviously the RCT Guru...

 

Thanks anyway guys. It's still a WIP so the layout is bound to change. I've had loops on flyers before and they've seemed fine. I'll see what I can do.

Well in real life a outside loop will only hurt riders

and i don't like the name sonne (sun) very bad for a flyer..

[KPWoCkAxX]

^ I like the name

 

I put the name is German because it seems better than just Sun. But maybe I'll change it. Thanks, for the info on the loop anyway, I'll see what I can do How about a corkscrew, would that hurt?

Tatsu have a corkscrew..

[KPWoCkAxX]

Then it's all good...

[Maggot]

and a better German name is Vogelauge for a flyer

[KPWoCkAxX]

Hey... I like that! You may have just won me over on the name situation...

[Vekoma Fan Boy]

While I agree on the issue of the supports after the lift, I don't see any reason to do away with the loop. Corkscrews are used in real life and a corkscrew is just a loop that has been stretched sideways. As long as it isn't a terribly high-g maneuver like a pretzel loop typically is it should be quite fine.

 

Keep up the good work though; I LOVE the scenery under the lift! Now that I think about it, maybe I'm gonna go pull out my RCT3 disks...

[KPWoCkAxX]

I look forward to seeing your creations! ( if you post them that is )

 

Update Two.

 

Well, I think i've finally decided on a layout that I like. I hope you do to. It jest needs supports, and more theming.

 

I hope you like it, I've removed the small loop, added a MCBR, a pretzel loop, corkscrew and crossovers.

 

That's all for now.

Thanks, KP.

Looks good, but you should bank out some of the curves.

 

I can't wait to see how the landscaping will be in this ride.

 

 

AND, I'm HAPPY you added that Pretzel Loop!

 

[KPWoCkAxX]

Update three.

 

Thanks, for the replies guys!

 

Well, I've finally finished supporting the ride. Working on lighting and the station now.

 

Pretzel loop supports, do they look ok?

 

And a couple of overview shots.

 

 

Thanks for looking, keep them replies coming too!

[dmaxsba2408]

Looks great, will there be an on-ride video available?

[KPWoCkAxX]

There will... Just need to finish the ride first

 

Update IIII - Station.

 

Thanks for the comment

 

 

 

There we are, I hope you like it.

Just need to finish the damn trees and lighting then I will film it

 

Cheers, KP.

Plz continue this and make a full park with this as a star attraction

[Vintage]

I love how this goes from dull looking ride. To AMAZING attraction. And I agree with the above post, atleast make a small park, maybe something resembling a Dollywood-ish feel, around it. That'd be amazing.

[coaster1000]

That queue-house and station looks great!

[KPWoCkAxX]

I feel bad for not updating in a while...

 

Sorry about that! I'll hopefully get a POV soon.

 

Then I can show you my new project... Shhh... It's a secret!
