inflameswetrust21 Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) Okay I have been gone for a while so I figured I would star up a anew NL creation. During my absence I moved right up the street from Alpine Ski Resort in PA. Of coarse I took advantage of this a got a new snowboard. This ride is inspired by my learning of snowboarding. It starts off with a very small but fun section. This represents me learning basics on the bunny hill (A small practice hill). After that the ride goes up a larger lift. This is supposed to represent me starting to go up the bigger trails on the mountain. This section is much faster and more intense than the first. The final section (still under construction in Newton2) Will represent me finally taking my skills into the Terrain Park (The area of a ski mountain that has ramps rails and things like that). The roller coaster is called Burton (The name of the company that made all of my snowboard gear). The color scheme for the trains is inspired by my board. The track is colored white to represent snow. The lift segments are black and yellow the same as most lifts on ski mountains. The ride itself is an Intamin Looping Coaster (such as Maverick at Cedar Point). This is probably one of my more intricate rides and I hope that it turns out to be one of my best. Very Small Preview.

inflameswetrust21 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 I have made a small amount of progress in the last 24 hours. I have added the next major element. Considering it is a completely unique element I decide I would like to call it a Butter Roll. Without further waiting here is the next update.

the ghost Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 LOL...Butter Roll! Love it. The ride looks nice so far!
inflameswetrust21 Posted January 21, 2011 Author Posted January 21, 2011 Okay again I am working with every free moment I get on this ride. I once again have a fast update. As soon as I finish the track I will get to work on the landscaping and then finally the support work.

inflameswetrust21 Posted January 28, 2011 Author Posted January 28, 2011 Another small update. I'm about a third of the way done with the final section. PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AJClarke0912 Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Oh wow, I didn't know that there'd be multiple lifts! That's a good idea. I'm wondering out the lift hill supports will be like too (considering its theme), as well as the terrain. Interesting project!
inflameswetrust21 Posted January 28, 2011 Author Posted January 28, 2011 On those aspects I will not spoil much. But for the lift hill it will be designed to look like ski lift supports. As for terrain. Its a snowboard theme right? Might as well be snowboard terrain. Also I mentioned a terrain park section... Look out for rails
inflameswetrust21 Posted January 30, 2011 Author Posted January 30, 2011 DISASTER STRIKES!!!! It seems the file in Newton 2 for this ride has been... lost. But not to worry. As with all my rides now I write down all of the numbers for every aspect of all the track segments. I can have it rebuilt in a couple of hours if that.
inflameswetrust21 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Posted February 2, 2011 I have officially finished the track work and I am 100% satisfied with it. Next up is the terrain. Here are some screen shots.

inflameswetrust21 Posted July 3, 2011 Author Posted July 3, 2011 Wow has it been a long time since I have been on TPR. Long story short my computer was broken and I did not have it for a few months. I am however glad to say I am getting back on track (no pun intended lol) with this project and am hoping to have it finished in the next few weeks. Here is a screenshot of my support work so far. Getting excited?
inflameswetrust21 Posted July 5, 2011 Author Posted July 5, 2011 Here is an update on the supports building. FEEDBACK IS ENCOURAGED! Burton-110704195422000.bmp I am trying to keep the supports simple. Burton-110704195435001.bmp I think it is coming along well. Burton-110704195519002.bmp I think I am going to change the color scheme. Burton-110704195535003.bmp My best work so far if I do say so myself. Burton-110704195718004.bmp BURTON!
AJClarke0912 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Looks okay...I would like to see revised track connectors but that's just me. How are you going to incorporate terrain though? You have these supports attached to the ground...the stock NL ground. Wasn't this thing going to have some terrain? If so, you probably should have done that first so the footers attach to that instead.
