Watch out! Aliens are invading! You are in a worn military base that is being attacked, and you must do what you have to to save the world by piloting the aircraft that is in the hangar. You are the last hope for humanity, good luck.
ALL HANDBUILT
It's been a while since I've uploaded. This was a project that I worked on for close to a combined 35 hours. Maybe 10 hours were for trackwork and 25 hours for everything else. I started with a template with the dimensions of Kanonen at Liseberg, and ended up with this bundle of joy. A lot of inspiration was taken from Kanonen, especially that of it's 0-G roll as seen here:
I really had a lot of fun making this ride, and I hope you all enjoy riding it too.
T: Like people have said smooth for the most part. Were some noticeable pumps and bumps, and some not quite right shaping. As CKW said use more vertixes to get better banking and shaping. You could have also used the Auto Heartline Generator to get some of the heartlines better.
Passed tunnel test (note to others - when you put it all into tunnels the brake run gets 4tube track and causes a fail when in reality its not a 4tube track and therefore passes)
A: Great variety of G's, elements and scenery interaction. My only complaint is I personally found the last roll to be taken a little bit slow. Track flow was good apart from the small straight section before the low turn.
O: Easy 10. Layout was unique, combined all the elements ina unique way. Support scenery was fantastic, adding to the ride and included extras such as the transfer track and queue line. Fantastic.
Overall a really good coaster, definitely added to my favorites folder!
BT - You need to use twice as many vertices as you have been using. You'll find you have much more control of your banking and can avoid awkward bankings and bumps this way. Not using enough is why you seem to be afraid to use the "cont roll".
Immelmans don't bank to 180 at the top like yours does, you can lower it a bit
Try not to make your heartlines so abrupt. I was able to make them a big less violent in around 10 seconds of work by just dividing the vertices around them, rebanking to what you had, and then kicking out the vertex in the appropriate direction and smoothing it with the in-editor smoother.
Tunnel testing is your friend...
Overall i gotta say it was a good ride. I saw inspiration from Kanonen and the Italian one, however I feel that some basic tunnel testing or something could have really improved the ride. Great support work scenery though and an overall good job. Work on your banking and vertex placement.
Really liked this alot! Probably my favorite hand built steel coaster of all time.
T- AMAZING. Handbuilding was really well done and was exceptionally smooth. The shaping was not all completely realistic though, and while the s hill rode well, in real life im sure it would have been shaped a bit differently. The supports were fantastic.
A- You really managed to pack a punch on this ride dispite its size, and I loved all the fluid twists and seamless elements. Really great pacing, despite that one straight section before the turn.
O- The coaster style is quite a treat and is something that you dont see very often on here. The layout is totaly unique, I like the colors and the theme, and all the scenery (catwalks) was very well done!
I was not expecting much from this ride but it really blew me away, and I really give you props for how high quality this ride is for a handbuilt coaster.
T: Technical is going to be your lowest rating. For the most part the ride was smooth, but there were occasional bumps. The supports, obviously, are fantastic! You have shown what supports can do, and that they can hold their own to .3ds. Despite the few pumps, the g's were all in check! The ride passes not only E-Stop testing, but surprisingly tunnel testing too! Which must've been very hard with all of those supports!
A: Overall the ride kept a pretty decent pacing. And the supports made for great headchoppers!
O: Really cool, compact layout this ride has. The .3ds; or should I say supports obviously stood out throughout the ride. Again, great job with them, and on another note my FPS wasn't as bad as I thought it would be when riding!
I agree with Richie as there were a couple of abrupt transitions. Other than that (minor in my book) the ride was extremely creative and did pack a good punch for such a small space. The UFOs reminded me of the classic first generation video game Space Invaders and the paint scheme was spot on for that. Great ride!
Holy crap. This has to be the best mini-Intamin released this year. Put a ton of crazy stuff inside a small area, with a small top speed.
T: Track was smooth for the most part (with the exception of the first hill and a couple of the turns) and well made, and pulled reasonable forces. Supports were done fantastically, though I think a couple were a bit flimsy. And, some of your transitions are a bit abrupt and uncomfortable.
A: Fantastic. Great pacing and the tight turns in slow places kept it going, despite the ride being in such a small area. Great interaction with the supports and the scenery around the ride, though I find the flame a bit close to the track. Airtime balanced well with the positive forces on the ride. Great here.
O: Uhh, I kind of felt this was a bit X-Car-ish (or that's my noobishness) rather than Intamin, but one thing is for sure: the theming is fantastic. In particular, I liked the tower's general appearance, and the station completed the scene.
Fantastic and enjoyable ride. My download didn't go to waste.
