Eruption is coming!

Pics to come tomorrow, for now the stats:

Type: Intamin Hypercoaster, Terrain Twister

I think I know who will really be enjoying this coaster. Me. Just from the stats I can tell it will be a great Thorazine production.

same here Woodie Man, the g's look great. And i am a airtim elover and 10=heaven

Oh, it's a sick ride, you can be assured. The first drop is superb.

Looks good, I love the terrain interaction. Just out of interest, are you going to have some 3ds tunnels where it seems to go underground? Just looking at the screenshots I can see some places where that would work well.

Haven't decided. There are one or two spots it might be possible, but this track is so curvy actually building the 3ds would be a real challenge, maybe beyond what I can do. There are only 2 truly straight hills on the entire ride!

You could always use the tunnel creator to make the actual tunnel part, and then use the OC to create the basic ground above them

^ I tried that before, but it's quite hard to make the terrain from the oc match up with the tunnel, espcially if you need to do shaped terrain.

It is. Its better to make a tunnel in the tunnel maker, with really thick walls, then make rock 3ds in the OC, place them all individually so they dont go through the inner walls, but pass through the outer walls. Then you can delete the tunnel made in tunnel maker, and you will be lef with a perfect tunnel made out of rocks. Thats exactly what i did with Lucifer except a little more complicated using water and wooden beams and stuff too. But theres no reason why you couldnt do it with some sort of grass textured block with concrete walls. Use the exact same method. Its really easy, and provides a really ncie looking tunnel with a really good ehad chopper effect, as you can make the roof and walls as near to the track as possible, yet still know they are a safe distance. [:D] But shhh, dont tell anyone, thats my secret. [:)]

I've built two custom 3ds tunnels for the ride.

looks sweet

you know where to turn for a tester

I'm uploading an offride video as we speak! Background music is of course Eruption by Van Halen.

New tunnels and colors are awesome Thor. On one of those screenshots though, it appears the lift supports aren't evenly spaced.

You're right, and they can't because of the crosses. Putting one in the "natural location" would put the vertical beam right through the first drop.

VIDEO IS UP!

What video Capturure to you use man?

FRAPs and Windows Movie Maker. Works pretty well.

Doh, I just noticed that the video didn't quite upload completely for some reason. *sigh* Don't have time to really mess with it any more tonight. This'll keep the ending a surprise too.

Yea, because I inspired the ending, so uh!

It turned out sweet. Caps off probably his best ride yet.

Are you still going to keep the name eruption now you've got the purple colours?

I completely agree -- truly, this is just masterful, not too mention completely unexpected and thrilling.

The ride now features 5 tunnels, all of signifigant length. Over 600ft of track in tunnels!

hypercam (type that in google) works pretty good if your computer is free of spyware, and adware, and other crap running in the background. Plus its free!
