A little more work on Magnum...

[Metrofan56]

Here is a classic out and back wooden coaster that I am working on.

If you cant tell by the Photos I'm doing a recreation of Gatekeeper. I'm going at the pace of what they are doing construction wise so I dont get too overwhelmed with this project. I'm putting in some of my first 3Ds into this model, so tell me what you think. P.S. The keyhole pic is just to see how my 3D would fit with the track and how it would look.

What the construction crew had done 12/8/2012

I wast testing out my 3D of the Keyholes and how they would look with the track

Millennium Force!

Here's a very compact X-Car :

 

 

 

[Voxelmatic]

That's insane! I would love to see that in real life. I'm working on a project right now, actually, should have some pictures up by tomorrow.

[biker7766]

IMO, anything compact, X-Car= WIN!

This thread hasn't gotten much attention lately. Allow me to remedy this.

Man that looks really nice! Great Job!

[Lareson]

Figured I'd show something too that I've been working on for a while.

 

 

Still a couple things I still have to work on, like the turnaround, still not happy with that.

This is my first coaster that I have created using Newton (that I'm posting). Obviously inspired by outlaw run and the other Rocky Mountain coasters.

 

Notable Elements in Order

 

1)Rolling Drop (need to find the max angle still, not sure how to go about this)

2)Double-Up-Outside-Banked-Turn

3)Twist into overbanked turn-around

4)Zero G. Roll (Much like iRattler)

5)90 Degrees!

6)Airtime Hill into Bunny Hill

7)90 Degrees under lift hill

8)Figure 8

9)90 Degree "wave" turn.

10)Double Barrel Roll

 

Still need to fix up the supports, scenery and landscaping. Also need to come up with a name. Once I make more headway I'll create a thread.

[A.J.]

Ugh! Terrible choice in font.

 

The coaster looks great though! I feel like the outside-banked turn during the double-up could be a regular airtime hill instead.

[DougMJr]

^Thanks AJ, yeah sorry about the font. Thought it kinda fit the whole western look.

 

The outside banked turn I think works better than an airtime hill only because right now starting at the "outside banked turn" and ending at the "overbanked turn around" it is doing this cool "left right left right left" twisty motion that I think works. Appreciate the feedback though!

[traincrossin]

Looks very nice! I thought the font was fine

[CpBluestreakCp]

Looks really cool, seems like it combines all the best of the Rocky Mountain coasters. Love it!

Same. Coffee Tin is very similar to the fonts actually used in promotional pieces for RMC and other rides and is quite commonly used. I'd love to see a few more pictures of this ride!

I plan on putting some hours into this ride this weekend and hope to have a thread with photos up sometime Sunday. I will not keep you guys waiting too long.

Tentative name - Aquarius. Inspired by Silver Bullet and InFusion. Roller coasters built over water for the win!

Looks nice! The first drop and loop are quite similar to the one I'm working on now.

 

A Gatekeeper-inspired B&M invert. All 3ds except the pavement and fences are original (and have no texture because I only have the free version of Sketchup).

 

[A.J.]

I'm still in disbelief that I could pull something like this off. 3,200 feet of track from only a 105-foot maximum height - not too shabby. The "tornado" double spiral is icing on the cake.

Almost finished with this terrain-Eurofighter.

[A.J.]

I got inspired to continue on with the Tornado project. Now powered by clean energy!

[imagineerz]

Well, I've decided to play around with FVD++, since it's available for Mac. I'm making an attempt to recreate the infamous Traver Safety Coasters, which is going surprisingly well.

However, the incline helix is being a serious pain, and I can't get the trick-track quite right, but some progress is better than no progress.

[Great White]

Here's a Project from awhile back.

I call it "Gray Out", which is a Intamin multi Launch Coaster. Some say that this is a backward mavrick!

I'm still working the support(Video has NL prefabs) and adding building and stuff from 3ds, but its been untouched since June.
