Canadmos Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 (edited) Info: This is not a recreation of the original Minebuster, but more of an adaptation of the original design. The original Mighty Canadian Minebuster (MCM) was modeled after the Shooting Star at Coney Island in Ohio. When the MCM was first built it was a thrilling and fun woodie but as the years passed and after Paramount took over operations at the park, the roller coaster was slowly retracked and reprofiled to accommodate the water park being built around it. The profile of the ride today is very different from when it was first built and sadly, the ride has very little, if any airtime on any of its hills. The roughness of the ride is nothing to be proud of either. In the end, what was once a thrilling roller coaster is now a giant wooden minetrain. With this NoLimits creation I wanted to build the ride how I would have liked it to be built. With my recreation of the ride it now has airtime filled hills, it is smoother with no back breaking shuffling and jackhammering and the helix at the end actually has some lateral g's! Although I changed the profile of the hills, the basic layout is the same as the original MCM. This is a ride built purely for my own pleasure and features many elements that I think every wooden coaster should have. I could and would ride this version of the MCM all day long if given the opportunity. Hopefully you enjoy your ride on the Mighty Canadian Minebuster just as much as I do! Pictures of the original Minebuster; http://tinyurl.com/9j6a7 http://tinyurl.com/7n669 Screenshots and info on this NoLimits creation; http://nldc.interfix.net/p1315 Notes; - Thanks to all the people who tested this thing out and gave me some feedback - Thanks to Hansixx for allowing me to use his Alpengluehn environment - Thanks to Dj Tommy for texturing the tunnel - Thanks to Real for the wood texture - There is over 1500 trees in this track, so if you get really low fps, either turn down your settings or turn off scenery. The ride will still funtion without the scenery. - Wide supports are 100% custom - All textures are either from the OC or http://www.3dxtra.cygad.net - Sorry for the crappy 3ds objects, lol! - The track packager is required to ride this track.
