maliboomer Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 I don't know if anyone has seen this but the Silver Bullet animations makes it look...intense. It dosen't lag around the helix or meander through the corkscrew and is all round weird. http://www.knotts.com/imgs/SilverBullet_Aerial_lores.mpeg It's a Quicktime MPEG made by Knotts. It makes me wanna ride it!
Trev32 Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 hmm... the trains went through those inversions a bit fast... Trev32
Shadowforce Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 I suppose having intensifying a rollercoaster as a part of your job is one of the perks working at marketing. I guess they just do what can be done to sell their product, which is, after all, normal behavior for parks. Regardless of any commercials, and how tame and forceless people claim it are, I'd still love to ride. It would be a quantum leap from my previous score...
maliboomer Posted March 26, 2005 Author Posted March 26, 2005 I hate the constant 'omgs' in that video...
Corkscrewed Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 LOL! That'd be way over 10.00 in intensity in RCT! But yeah, if it WAS that intense, I don't think any enthusiast would complain at all!
socalMAN123 Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 Actually, the ride kinda is like that except it doesn't go as fast as that, it DEFENITLY doesn't make that much noise, and you don't go through that helix fast.
What Now Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 That video was made by Badnitrus when SB was first announced.
socalMAN123 Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 That video was made by Badnitrus when SB was first announced. Than that website sucks!
Real Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 Why does it suck? Keith McVeen is great and companies need people like him to promote their rides.
Janus Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 His videos are awesome. Don't they play his Xcelerator animation in Xcel's queue? Besides, he makes the videos LONG before the ride is up, so I'd say he does a pretty good job with the speeds, especially since he doesn't really have a way of knowing how fast it's going at any one point along the ride.
What Now Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 Keith (Badnitrus) did a good job considering he based the movie off this.
Jose Eber Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 Than that website sucks! You have no appreciation for the long hours this guy has gone through for these recreations. In college I did rendering of some of my work and crap does it take a long time. And my stuff was static (buildings etc.) Its very rewarding -- but his sort of work is insane. Keep in mind he is not only rendering Silver Bullet -- but other attractions as well. Crazy. My hat is totally off to this guy such a labor intensive job. Jose.
