james.sylvester Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 The Story Deeply saddened by the deaths of her daughter Annie in 1866, and her young husband in 1881, and seeking solace, Winchester consulted a medium on the advice of a psychic. the medium told Winchester that she believed there to be a curse upon the Winchester family because the guns they made had taken so many lives. The psychic told Winchester that "thousands of people have died because of it and their spirits are now seeking deep vengeance." The Boston Medium told Winchester that she had to leave her home in New Haven and travel West, where she must "build a home for yourself and for the spirits who have fallen from this terrible weapon, too. You must never stop building the house. If you continue building, you will live forever. But if you stop, then you will die." The Santa Clara Valley presented sweeping vistas of rural open space. It was a serene setting for Mrs. Winchester to begin her building project, which she did with steadfast determination. She immediately hired carpenters to work in shifts around the clock. By the turn of the century the eight-room house had grown into a seven-story mansion! The estate eventually grew to 161 acres of farmland, which included orchards of apricots, plum, and walnut trees to supplement Mrs. Winchester’s income. Mrs. Winchester built on the house constantly till she died which equaled 38 years of construction. Her house is now used as a tourist attraction which allows you to view some of the rooms while other rooms are getting restored. This was the norm until a worker found a secret passage to another part of the house the only way to acess it, is by a transportation system which goes all over the newly found section. Ever since finding this part of the house the tours and visitors have stopped and no one goes near it anymore apparently something was released when opening the passage way and there is now a strange presence. But today we are letting YOU go into the house too lay the mystery to rest. Will you do it? Will you survive? Only one thing is certain. THE HOUSE IS IN CONTROL.

james.sylvester Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 I'm wondering if it should be a x-car coaster or eurofighter coaster? The warm up section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightbeawannabe Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 ^A launched bobsled, perhaps? They made launched Eurofighters after all. And Maurer Söhne made X-car launches. So I think my idea is theoretically valid, but it is your creation after all. I an perfectly happy with whatever you chose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggernel Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 That's going to be a mighty big piece of scenery to make. And I say Eurofighter all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmor Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 As far as the technical aspects, to get a better control of e-stops I would turn those transport sections into brake sections and uncheck the "block segment" box on the ones you dont want an e-stop at. oh yeah, you can hid the brakes also to give it more a "depend on lims" on the non block segments. Sometimes with the transport they dont stop or start like it should resulting with a stalled train or crashed train. Its gonna take some tweaking to get it right though!

CorkscrewFoley Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I would go with the Bobsleds myself...Keep it half traditional (yet insanely quirky because of the Winchester Manor-I was familiar with this long before the thread ), and the other half coaster. That's what I would do myself...Still, I can also see why the Euro Fighter would be perfect for this project too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
