mightbeawannabe Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) Well, been workin' on this a few days now, and I just wanted to see if I can get any feedback-So, Criticize! If you know a thing or three about B&M inverts, and you want to see the .newt2 file or something, just PM me! A few stats- Inversions: Loop, Immelman, Cork, 0-g Length: 786.09 m (sans ending turn, so imagine the total length) Top Speed: 91 km/h Max Gs: 5.1 Color is by no means final, it just shows up nice in this environment. EDIT: The pictures do not appear to be very clear..grr! newtrack-110523195452001.bmp Far end of the ride-very intense- newtrack-110523195601002.bmp Overview Edited June 6, 2011 by mightbeawannabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I love this. I think it really takes everything a B&M invert can be and mixes it up as a sort of more forceful version of something along the lines of Patriot, getting creative with the elements B&M always uses. Can't wait to see it finished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightbeawannabe Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 ^Thank you very much! I really hadn't thought of it as kin to Patriot, I know I wanted a tight helix, somewhat-but not exactly like Raptor, a small 0-g roll, and a slightly different element order. Sorry about the old pictures, folks. Here are a few new ones that should stay clear: invertc2-110524161350000-2.bmp Can anyone offer specific advice about the shaping of the immelman? They're hard to perfect- invertc2-110524161416001-3.bmp invertc2-110524161444002-4.bmp invertc2-110524161505003-5.bmp Crazy Helix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightbeawannabe Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 Well, no one seems to be commenting.... Anyways, who like signs of definite progress? I for one sure do. As for the colors: I tried to match the blue to Jake's Konshu (sp?)-a file that I at one point had. Doing this from pictures gets it close. invertc2-110527154746000-6.bmp General overview of the previously mentioned progress. I like it-you? invertc2-110527154828001-7.bmp New angle and direction. invertc2-110527154854002-8.bmp Up the skirt! invertc2-110527154910003-9.bmp My favorite picture of the ride so far.

ANJLOVER14 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 ^ That looks great! It kind of reminds me of Afterburner @ Carowinds. Nice job so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightbeawannabe Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 ^Thank you. It would seem as though every person that I've shown this to says it reminds them of another coaster. So far there have been no repeats. Small update today: Just support work on the lift and from the immelman up to the corkscrew. invertc2-110528181004000-10.bmp Supported immelman- invertc2-110528181046001-11.bmp What isn't shown in the first picture. invertc2-110528181116002-12.bmp Another bird's eye shot. The more and more that gets supported, the more photogenic it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freefallXL Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Supports: I find the supports (at the loop) a little too thick. On original images, they look a little thinner. The colors: The blue looks very good. Only the gray I am not convinced. In all, it looks technically. I have the impression, that blue don´t fit with the terratexture. Images in the "white environment" would certainly be considered more beautiful. The ride: It looks very intense. But elegant curves. ... it is just an opinion, not a criticism Keep up, the good job!

Images in the "white environment" would certainly be considered more beautiful. Could you explain this to me? I think I know what you're saying, but it's a tad confusing. As to the thickness of the supports, instead of making a custom sized support, I went with relative approximations. Yes, in real life, extra large and the large supports are bigger than in real life, but they are by far the closest. If I knocked all them down a size, it would look really spindly and undersized. I may play around with custom sizes in the end, however. Thank you! C'mon, folks! Gotta have a few more people posting here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imawesome1124 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 This looks really cool, kind of seems like the Prowler of B&M inverts. I love the colors too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightbeawannabe Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Alright-the ride has been completed. Supports, sizing and all.I won't show anyone just yet-I'll do a full update on Friday. PM me if you're interesting in being a tester! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightbeawannabe Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 Firstly: Thank you anyone that PMed me to be a tester! Secondly: Full picture update on the ride, La Lavandière (a French variant of the midnight washerwomen from Scottish/Irish mythology see here for more info). I've been granted exclusive access to view the newly completed ride...upon arriving to the park, I catch this view: invertc2-110603163124000-1.bmp It seems they've started without me.... invertc2-110603163217001-2.bmp La Lavandière-through the trees! invertc2-110603163303002-3.bmp As I move closer in, I catch the train swinging through the last bit of the ride. invertc2-110603163403003-4.bmp But by moving a few steps, I catch the second train barreling through the first helix.... invertc2-110603163425004-5.bmp ...before missing the next few shots and ending up with this fail. invertc2-110603163453005-6.bmp The photography gods must be smiling on me, as a second chance started clinking up the hill. invertc2-110603163524006-7.bmp The train entering the bottom of the pullout. invertc2-110603163544007-8.bmp Soaring over my head through the immelmann... invertc2-110603163624008-9.bmp After taking a slight break to find a new location to shoot from, I get this semi-disorienting pic. invertc2-110603163631009-10.bmp Lazy. Didn't move a muscle to snap this one... invertc2-110603163741010-11.bmp Ooo, ooo, ooo! Other train floating right over my head! invertc2-110603163750011-12.bmp Corkscrew-how are you? invertc2-110603163808012-13.bmp Aw...my sweetheart left me. Too good to be true anyways..........sigh. invertc2-110603163912013-14.bmp Luckily they're lining up at the door. invertc2-110603163937014-15.bmp Missed by THAT much! invertc2-110603164026015-16.bmp ^ Part deux. invertc2-110603164057016-17.bmp Twisty!!! invertc2-110603164131017-18.bmp Another viewing point-but it didn't really produce any good pics. invertc2-110603164537000-19.bmp But THIS one did! invertc2-110603164604001-20.bmp aaannnnnnd....ROLL OVER! invertc2-110603164611002-21.bmp Good boy! invertc2-110603164706003-22.bmp Just a quick pic from the station. invertc2-110603164734004-23.bmp To get these shots, I was let into the helicopter that was being used to film promo video for the ride...but the foggy morning didn't give what they were hoping to get. Really ruins the shots when Mother Nature throws up her middle finger at us... invertc2-110603164751005-24.bmp ... invertc2-110603164812006-25.bmp Not TOO bad...right? invertc2-110603164821007-26.bmp As we fly away, I catch one last shot-turned out really bad due to the poor weather. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twister II Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 It looks awesome! Can't wait for a download. Are you planning on doing any scenery or 3D's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightbeawannabe Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 No- the station is made out of supports, and the trees are .env. There is a .3ds fence around the far end of the ride, but that's parkpack. I don't really know how to make .3ds...I've tried, but they're beyond me. EDIT: I forgot to mention it will be released on Sunday, at approximately 7:00 PM/6:00c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
