Thunder Falcon - revival project [NL]

[AJClarke0912]

Hello TPR! I don't think that I've posted a coaster here, but there's always room for firsts! Anyway, let's get to business...

 

Thunder Falcon

 

Okay, so I was doing some digging on my computer's hard drive and I found a surviving NoLimits file. I clicked to see what it was and it was one of my old CoasterSims projects using AHG, Thunder Falcon. I looked at it's design and I really wanted more from it, since it's layout screams unique and my Newton skills have sharpened recently. Then, I got to work...

 

Preserving most of the original design, the revival of Thunder Falcon very true to it's old self. However, with the aid of Newton 2, this coaster is smoother and more exciting. Let's get the jist of what's going on here, shall we?

 

Trackwork - 100%

Supports - 90% (I'm thinking of what to do next)

Theming - 5% (I got a name...! )

Now, here are some pictures of it unsupported. This gives you overall layout perspectives and such.

 

Well, due to TPR posting rules, I cannot have a picture exceeding 800 x 600 pixels. Many of the photos I have a 1440 x 900. Since these photos have already been posted on other sites that re-size them anyway, I feel that if I edit these and re-size them some links on the other sites might get broken or go wacko. Therefore, unfortunately, you'll have to click each one. I am terribly sorry, but I just don't have the time to re-size everything. Next time, this will be fixed. I hope you understand...

Yeah, I bet your finger is numb now. But it only gets worse, unfortunately...

 

Station drawings for Locrian are below. They are to give him an idea of what I'm thinking. There are two ideas: one is to follow a theme similar to Millenium Force (just modern) and the other looks like a lodge.

 

These are just quick sketches and are no way realistically-intended. They just give the idea...

Okay, sorry for that horrendous clicking marathon. In the future, this won't happen. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to click away, and be sure to vote! The stations are up to Locrian to decide because he is making it, so no voting on that unfortunately...

Well, since NLP and TPR were tied, I asked various YouTube people, and the final choice was Navy Blue.

 

Thanks to those who voted, and I'll try to get some progress and 800 x 600 photos done (no more clicking!) before the end of today, but it might not be happening.

 

Stay tuned.

The supports look great and so does the track keep up the good work
