Vekoma Fan Boy Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 Well I spent the evening moving mountains and so the basic land forms are done and the buildings, viewing areas and other attractions are all planned out. Now I just need to decide which version of ride vehicles to use... Flying Turns 38mph - empty 41mph - full 1min 14 seconds total time. Much better capacity and better G's in the turns but just doesn't look like a real Bob Sled. Bob Sleigh (single car) 29mph - empty 32mph - full 1min 33 seconds total time. Mush better looking then the Flying Turn but very low capacity and not a very forceful ride. I just can't decide. Anyway a few shots of the finished terrain and building/viewing locations. I would say go with the flying turns. If you ask me, they look better than the bobsled coaster anyway, and you get more realistic behavior and better capacity out of them.
hydra Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 Im in. Can we use the black background to fill in the extra space? Like they use in the micro parks over at NE?
chemical_echo Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 I finally got RCT2 working again, so maybe I'll give this challenge a try. As long as school work doesn't get too hectic, I should be able to finish. Station to Station time - 1:19 Type: 3 car bobsled Here's a few screens so far Loading Station Bridge and base of viewing tower Grandstand at the entrance of the park, by the final turns of the run.
Reviar Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 Imo the 12 pieces of straight is basically killing the track. I might still not fully understand the rule though.
chemical_echo Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 As I understand it, there has to be one section of track which is just 12 straight pieces of track. Of those 12 pieces, some can be a downward slope.
A.J. Posted December 31, 2010 Author Posted December 31, 2010 As I understand it, there has to be one section of track which is just 12 straight pieces of track. Of those 12 pieces, some can be a downward slope. Yes. Explained in the rules, the downward-sloping track counts as straight, because there is no lateral change in direction.
the ghost Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 I may be in. I re bought RCT2 after accidentally breaking it, so I may or may not be in.
Reviar Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Edit: I've somewhat finished the layout but I love how its 57 seconds... nothing to show you just yet as I'm struggling with parts of the track. Edit2: I just can't keep silent can I? Have to post previews. Start Turn Edit 3: Right, going in the same direction as dmaxsba and posting the layout in full. Layout Edit 4: 1:01 long ^^
Reviar Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Do the stands and such have to reachable by real peeps?
A.J. Posted January 8, 2011 Author Posted January 8, 2011 Do the stands and such have to reachable by real peeps? There has to be at least one spot where guests can be "Watching _______" and looking at the ride.
Reviar Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Can someone please explain what zero clearance is? If its the thing to make more objects stick together on the same tile, then I desperately need to have a guide for it. =D Cause some of my objects get deleted when a new one is added on same spot reversed or completely other end. Redoing one area somewhat, but lights are on the way to the track. Stands and an attempt at a lightrail.
tdub96 Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 God, that screen has so much potential. Something about it just sucked me in.
Reviar Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 There's been changes to the lightrail, it now has the custom supports instead and only go on one side to allow more spectators to have an uninterupted view of the track. A lot of landscaping remains though as I will layer the slope with concrete My biggest concern though, is that I do not want it to be during winter period.
Dotrobot Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 For the bobsled don't make it light blue. That makes it blend in too much. Make it white to stand out while not destroying the atmosphere.
Reviar Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Or it could be during the summer as well. If they aim to open it for public that could develop into something awesome. It even has the camerarail mounted if there'd to be an event. It also has a few cameras along the track. None visable here though.
PSiRockin Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 That's really nice in widescreen. Nice bridge and posts over the track.
Reviar Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 ^ Really glad to hear that!! Edit2: As I leave the track the work with the lights in the first area were completed. All other lights were turned off and the track got lit by the lightrail for the first time. G'night
SoCalCoasters Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 I have to drop out due to time constraints sorry everyone.
coasterfreak101 Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Not much to show at all, but now that this area's getting finished up, the next step is to line the track! SCR1.BMP
