DCs221 Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 Here are some pics of my recreation of one of the world's greatest coasters, Superman: Ride of Steel at Six Flags New England. My track's length, height, drop length, and speed are exactly that of the real ride, and, judging from the force graph released after the accident, g-forces are also almost exactly correct throughout the entire ride. Trackwork is finished, and supports are finished, except for those in the tunnels. The recreation will also feature extensive, realistic 3ds. View my screenshots here... http://nldc.interfix.net/p64 (Newer pics are toward the bottom of the screen.) Enjoy and please let me know what you think!
coasterdude5 Posted April 3, 2005 Posted April 3, 2005 That looks like one of the best recreations I've ever seen. I wish I had No Limits.
DCs221 Posted April 3, 2005 Author Posted April 3, 2005 Thank you sir. It's taken me forever, but the time spent working on it is really paying off.
Sir Clinksalot Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 I concur, that looks like an awesome recreation. Can't wait to actually ride it!!!
Space Freak Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 I concur, that looks like an awesome recreation. Can't wait to actually ride it!!! Im with you on that one. Next Saturday baby!!!! I wonder if mr six will be open then. probably not, but who knows. Rob
DCs221 Posted April 9, 2005 Author Posted April 9, 2005 Thanks everyone. I appreciate your compliments. Unfortunately Tyrant from Coastersims isn't doing 3ds anymore because of personal commitments. I'm in the process now of finding new 3ds makers. I've sent several e-mails out, and I hope one of them accepts. Thanks for you interest.
DCs221 Posted April 12, 2005 Author Posted April 12, 2005 Phyter is doing 3ds now! I'm excited. Not much else is new with the track. Chris helped me by fixing the blocking. I've perfected some of the support connections. That's about it.
DCs221 Posted April 16, 2005 Author Posted April 16, 2005 First pictures of 3DS!!! http://nldc.interfix.net/p64
Jose Eber Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 Can't you just give us the track w/o the 3ds for now? (it doesn't have to be perfect! Jose 'quit taunting us' Eber
DCs221 Posted April 17, 2005 Author Posted April 17, 2005 Haha sorry, I can't do that. It might not be as long as you would think for it to be finished though, and when it's done, I'll upload it here. Plus it's not as good without 3ds, especially the tunnels. Since the tunnels aren't done yet, it goes through the ground on the first drop, and around where the second tunnel would be, there is a big hole now lol. Thanks for asking though, just try to be patient.
DCs221 Posted April 19, 2005 Author Posted April 19, 2005 Just some news and a small update... The landscaping on Superman will be all 3ds (similar to rides like Thunderhead Falls, TTD 2003, Bushmaster, and Rebel), and the parking lot behind the overbank will be included. Everything is going pretty smoothly so far. Phyter is working on the second tunnel now.
DCs221 Posted April 24, 2005 Author Posted April 24, 2005 Three new 3ds pictures! Enjoy! http://nldc.interfix.net/p64
DCs221 Posted April 26, 2005 Author Posted April 26, 2005 Here are some pics of Poison Ivy, and a couple new pics of 3ds. Enjoy! http://nldc.interfix.net/p64
DCs221 Posted June 10, 2005 Author Posted June 10, 2005 Update with some cool new pics of progress on the station/queue area! http://nldc.interfix.net/p64
ECZenith Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 Dude... HOLY SHlT! Definately the best recreation I've ever seen!
DCs221 Posted July 16, 2005 Author Posted July 16, 2005 Thanks ECZenith! Glad to hear the enthusiasm. Progress has been going slowly lately, but hasn't stopped. I'll let you all know when I hear of some new developments from Phyter.
BiCoastal Kid Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 I've been following your progress on CS as well(SoCal Dude), and I must say I'm VERY impressed. Did you use the CK to export those tracks to 3ds? They look excellent.
timetrial3141592 Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Would it be possible for those of us who CANNOT access CoasterSims to be able to download this ride once it's complete? Someone ruined my name there right before I took a two-week vacation to California, and "Amnesty" expired. Al "really ticked off when people do this with NL coasters" Snitzer
DCs221 Posted July 17, 2005 Author Posted July 17, 2005 Yeah, I'm going to upload it to more places than just CoasterSims. CoasterSims will be first, but then a week or two later I'll upload it here, TN, ACN, CG2, CN and WWS. Yeah Phyter used CK to export the other tracks for the scene. Mind Eraser is Thunderhawk Geauga Lake by JackFrahn. I made Poison Ivy's Tangled Train myself. BiCoastalKid- thanks for the compliment. I've seen your rides in the scrapyard at NLDC and I seriously think overall they're the best there. You're great at recreating the feel of many different manufacturers. I really think you should finish some of those rides up, especially that Gerstlauer bobsled, which was really realistic and cool. I'd love to see some of your designs completed!
BiCoastal Kid Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 ^Thanks. I would finish them, but I'm having computer troubles so I can't run NL, PS, RCT, or anything else that has an ounce of fanciness. The Internet and flash games are pretty much all I can do for now, sometimes not even that. When it's fixed I've got a few things up my sleeve.
timetrial3141592 Posted August 7, 2005 Posted August 7, 2005 Thank you. SROS is my favorite coaster, and the recreation I have is unbelievably sloppy.
eyeamthu1 Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Just to add my comments: Dude, that is awesome! Keep up the great work, it looks like an incredible recreation 8)
DCs221 Posted August 15, 2005 Author Posted August 15, 2005 Thanks eyeamthu1! Progress! Phyter's doing an awesome job with the buildings adjacent to Superman's lift hill. http://nldc.interfix.net/p64 Enjoy!
