Park Info
(Hydro Thunder is the first coaster in my 67th official design project, "Adrenaline Land".)
Adrenaline Land is a park that combines all of the best aspects of parks into one! It has the fast, tall, intense coasters of Cedar Point, the hospitality and prices of Holiday World, and All Of The Coasters Are Terrained! "Hydro Thunder" is one of the park's star attractions.
Track Info
There are 2 very unique features that send Hydro Thunder up a notch. 1, it is terrained. This means that the speed is kept up all the way to the end, and it finishes just as strong as it starts. 2, this is a giga coaster that does not fall for the mediocrity of the overbanked turn. This coaster is all about airtime, speed, more speed, and MORE AIRTIME! (25 seconds of it to be exact) Enjoy Your Ride!
Unique Features:
-"Diving overbanked turn", just after the second drop.
-4.5 g double helix
-25 seconds of airtime
-2 drops of over 230 feet
-2 underground tunnels
-Cable lift (yep, check it out in the simulator...)
HYDRO THUNDER (coaster 1 of 7 in cjd's 67th design project, Adrenaline Land)
---------------------
Lift Height: 325 ft
First Drop: 245 ft @ a 76 degree angle
Second Drop: 230 ft @ a 63 degree angle
Top speed: 88 mph
Track Length: 8015 ft
Hills: 13
Turns: 10
Maximum G's: +5.0, 1.1 lateral, -1.3 airtime
CJD's Notes:
_The environment is not a custom skybox, it is merely to give proper tree sizes, show the cable lift, and maximize your computer's frame rate.
-When riding in the back seat on full speed, there may appear to be a yellow g spike while going over 2 of the hills. The truth is, those g's aren't really there. Turn the speed down to 25%, and you will see that they do not go over -1.3.
-The 5 g's are only for a split second. Tons of Schwarzkoph coasters have higher g's for much longer than this.
-ELEMENTS WERE ALL SHAPED BY HAND. No Elementary, and no Track Smoother were used. AHG was used in the ride's second half, but as we all know it only enhances any physical defects in the ride unless it is built right.
-See the awesome supports? Every single one, from the beginning of the lift to the final brakes, are 100% custom. I have taken extra care to make them as realistic as possible.
-Don't forget to check out the custom station, queue line, and all the other 'Adrenaline Land' stuff around the ride entrance.
-If you have an older computer, and are having problems with FPS rate, try following these steps. 1. turn reflections off. If that doesn't help, 2. Change LOD switch difference to 'very near'. If that doesn't help, 3. Turn off dithering, vertical sync, and shadows. 4. (LAST RESORT): turn off scenery
PLEASE RATE, and I hope you enjoy. [;)]
