Kraken & Manta Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) Seeing Rockin' America has a black hole and Commerson's Island's work it temporarily done, I figured it would be a perfect time to make a thread for this... so I did Gold & Silver : Racers of the West Basically the ride is a dueling, terrain following, wild west themed, Intamin Blitz. More so or less so a combination of Maverick and Cheetah Hunt. The design's terrain is intended to have the feel of the American Mid West, with a dessert, arches, and huge canyon running through the center of the map. The coasters themselves have two launches on each track, one that launches into a tower, and one that launches into a drop. Zero inversions, four caves, several trench runs, and a' whole lot of twistin' goin' on! Hope you like, critism welcomed and encouraged! SCR4.BMP One of the ride's focal points is this high five element located on a bridge over a canyon SCR5.BMP Silver's station SCR6.BMP This picture is mostly unfinished, but it shows the cat walks on the ride thus a cave SCR2.0.bmp A train bridge, that isn't finished (Well, its finished for me, but not for the park's story) overview!.BMP And to close this post: an overview Edited May 25, 2011 by mcjaco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterCreator9 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Looks great insofar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdub96 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 The MCBR area looks a bit iffy, but the rest is nice. Such a great idea, can't wait to see how it turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braztaz Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 The supports and the bridge have to be my favorite parts, but the station looks very small and not complete. But I can't wait to see some more screens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdub96 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Now paying closer attention, you are right sir. My apologies. Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraken & Manta Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 It's a brake and launch, although I'm not 100% happy with it. I may change it to be more like Maverick and have and upward launch, I'll get a pick soon for comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdub96 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Yes, it isnt looking too good off the ground. Maybe make a tunnel and have it launch upward into the airtime hills there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorkscrewFoley Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Leave the launch as it is, and put the tunnels over them. Very impressive coaster though, makes me want to unisntall RCT 3, and put in 2 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraken & Manta Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 Thanks everyone! With the ideas and critisim, I think I found something that works! Keep em' coming! Yes, it isnt looking too good off the ground. Maybe make a tunnel and have it launch upward into the airtime hills there. I like this idea b.BMP For comparison, the old trim and second launch, which was basically and odd really high bridge. SCR2.BMP And the new launch, which is within the old tunnels the segment after the old launch dropped into. The coaster now has a small bunny hill in place of the hill the old launch was on, the bunny hill ends with the track going into a cave on the side of the canyon, where it there launches. SCR5.BMP I've worked on the twist track area a bit, adding an arch, lake, and small waterfall. SCR4.BMP Ride viewing area, that silver rushes under Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueerRudie Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Very nice, K&M. The modifications are well worth it- although in light of Verbolten's development, I have an idea... Where you used to have a LSM launch on a bridge- why not modify that, and have the train eject from a tunnel side- onto a 'covered' bridge effect- and then down towards the canyon/river floor- the ultimate 'Bridge out' sort of effect... Just my .02 worth- R.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
