Xtreme97 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Contruction Update! I have replaced the park's oldest roller coaster, Screamin' Eagle, with a healine attraction for the new year. I decided that with only one Intamin coaster (Venomous), the park was to have another. I now present to you, Speed. With a top speed of 107mph and a max height of 345ft, this LSM launched roller coaster certainly lives up to its name! And it looks like Intamin have started work already! 06/01/12 Looks like one worker has already arrived at the site! 07/01/12 The first pieces have arrived! And they come with some supports too! 08/01/12 Contruction begins! A crane has already begun lifting pieces into place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molemaster43 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 The crane looks pretty cool, I also love seeing construction scenes. They are always unique. Can't wait to see the final copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme97 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) Construction Update! The park have announced that they've finished construction on the new rollercoaster! The layout and station have been complete, but they say that there is still a bit more to do in the way of paths, theming elements and shops/stalls. This new Intamin Launched rollercoaster, called Speed, propels riders up to 107mph, taking them up 345ft of track and bringing them right back down again! The double-station coaster has been tested and management is ready to begin construction on the surrounding area. We took a helicopter into the skies today to get some lovely pictures of the track layout and the station (please ignore the entrance/exit huts, as they will be removed): The skyshot of the enormous coaster The grand double-sided station The park also announced that Thor, the parks B&M Hyper Coaster, is soon to be demolished to make way for a brand new coaster to be built later on in the year. The park have not yet told the press what the new coaster is but have promised that it will be a crowd-pleaser. Thor is currently SBNO and the park hopes to start construction as soon as possible. In other news, the Gift Shop has received a total refurbishment, some toilets and an ATM have been placed, and a new bridge has been built to connect to children's zone to a new area to be built on the east side of the lake, where Thor is standing. The new Gift Shop The bridge will allow guests a clear view of the lake. Toilets The ATM Machine Edited January 25, 2012 by Xtreme97 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCT2day Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 That launched Intamin looks extremely immense and (kind of) unproportional to the park. Granted, in reality there are coasters of that size but in RCT2 you rarely, if never, see anything over 250ft. Maybe 175-225ft would look better buts that just me. Also, work on the supports for the top-hat, look at Stormrunner and Xcelerator for inspiration. Great improvements to that gift shop and that bridge... Really great. I've always wondered how to do something like that but you've nailed it. Great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCTrioFan Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Nice job, except for the Intamin. I just think a better option would be a, I don't know, a donkey? TPR jokes aside, looks really great! I think you should change the color for the Intamin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 That bridge is AMAZING! I am totally stealing that idea in my current design! Awesome work so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
