Dynamite is my newest creation! It's a unique and very thrilling Premier launched ride combinging the best parts of a launched coaster, a hyper, and a mine train.

The layout is just over 4500ft long, the highest point is 147ft, and the total vertical differntial is just under 200ft. The train is launched to 68 mph in under 3 seconds, and track highlights include the 140ft near-vertical drop, several overbanks, high-g helixes, and lots of crossovers and near misses!

I'm also going full out with the extras including a hand-painted terrain texture, custom cartexture, and full and highly detailed custom supports!

Here are two pics showing the car texture and terrain:

and several older shots showing some of the layout:

Indeed, that was basically the seed. This is totally a hardcore thrill ride though. Forces as high as 4.6g positive, and -1.7g in the back seat going down the big hill.

Here are several more shots of the ride showing it's current state.

Overall layout view

The drop into the "pit", just over 100ft tall.

The final drop of the ride, a run down into a ravine where the train exceeds 50mph. At the bottom the train is 60ft below station level.

Work continues steadily. I'm spending a ton of time on the supports. Got 30+ hours so far JUST on the supports. Here's a shot of the large tunnel that covers the final drop.

I wouldn't consider that mud, and that tunnel looks really good for supports. Looks like another winner from you.

I've tested as well and I agree with TCon. It'll certainly be something when it's all done.

Amamzing that all 3 of us (Me, woodie, tcon) managed to say the same thing in less than 7 minutes. I would've been 2nd, but darn internet had to go down (what's with you Adelphia [:(]). I can barely wait to ride the final version of this thing (barely cause I've already ridden it). You could call it a pacing and airtime masterpiece.

It's getting REALLY close guys. I've only got about 250ft of track left to support. Here's a shot of the big hill!
