FaithnotForgotten Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) This ride is all hypothetical, and was just a random idea, enjoy! The ride is 308ft tall, reaches speeds of up to 94mph, and is 6,794 long! Edited February 27, 2013 by mcjaco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brockboehm Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 This is so beautiful. The layout is awesome. Beautiful support work. That arch support - wow. Love the name as well. Would love to see a POV of this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COASTER FREAK 11 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Its a really cool looking ride! Just a note: With the arches you've created for the support structure, you don't need as many supports. Like the tallest one on the lift and the three in middle of the other arch.

FaithnotForgotten Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 You would need the tallest one on the lift, I assure you of that. And Arches are not a sole means of supporting a coaster. It produces a lot of side to side forces that an arc of this shape could not handle on it's own.

COASTER FREAK 11 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Have you seen Leviathan? It uses an arch to support the top of its lift. The support on the drop would have to be moved up the spine, but its totally possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The support on the drop would have to be moved up the spine, but its totally possible. I've never seen a Leviathan before! Okay I am making a Maurer Söhne Giga, that is a B&M Giga, why must they be identical, should I switch the track to B&M for you as well, sir? Also funny fact, Leviathan has five supports on it's lift hill, mine also has five in a very similar location excluding one. You clearly are nitpicking here, you see if you were actually concerned here you would have noticed that fact. The lift hill is steeper, to compensate I moved the support from about a fourth of the way down the drop, to a more centralized supporting area. Sorry if this came off as rude, but I hate it when someone tries to tell you they know your ride better than you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Dude, it wasn't a nitpick at all. Did you read my original comment? I was simply showing you options you could do. Its your creation, create as you see fit.This was purely information, nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scbt Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I know it's been said before, but wow, that arch supported camelback looks glorious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithnotForgotten Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 Did some work on the supports for the large turn, the ride will be flying through this turn at 85 mph! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorkscrewFoley Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I hope to see a POV on this. This looks amazing! Oh, and I love the arch supports on the airtime hill...tis pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianscoasters Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Meh. Not impressed. Looks like crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear92 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Trains this small on such a big coaster are a tad unrealistic in my opinion. Maybe 4 or 5 cars long would be a good size. Also, be careful with sustained vertical forces at that speed, around 2.5G is the limit when dealing with a turn that takes a few seconds or more to complete. Otherwise, looks great and I might just have a go at making my own... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
