Diamondback Rec - Boneplaya - Status unknown

So, I was sitting in my room one day, and I thought to myself, "I'm going to make a B&M Hypercoaster." Then, I started working in Newton, and all of a sudden I realized that my layout was basically Diamondback, so I decided to turn it into a recreation.

I've got the lift and the first two airtime hills, and I'm not entirely sure how good my drop shaping is, so that's the first thing I want you all to take a look at. Other than that, just give me any comments/criticisms you have of it!




The rest of what I have so far:



Estimated release date: eventually. I'm not sure whether or not I'm going to put in all of the scenery and whatnot (I sort of want to, but I don't know how much time I'm going to have winter quarter). It may just end up being the track with some terrain and trees.

Got a tester?

this better be good

Thanks for all of the great feedback. [stoning]
And no, I'm not looking for testers yet. I'll let some people know when I'm to that point, but it won't be for a while. I'll probably ask for testers when I finish the layout, which likely won't be until the middle of winter break, given all of the other crap I have to do.
RideWarriorNation, if it's not good when I'm done with it, it will not be uploaded. I can guarantee you that. I want this to be my best work to date, and nothing less.

Legit. I still have to get to use Newtons some day.

Use this

yea, i've rode it at least 7-9 times so yeah...

I've ridden it 69 times. Not much compared this one dude named Gary who has rode it over 3200 times.

Look, that's great and all, and I'll consider you both for testing, but I really need some useful feedback before I can finish the layout and move on to the testing stage.

From the angle of your pic your lift hill/crest/1st drop looks somewhat off. Could you post a picture maybe from this angle?



Oh, make sure your lift hill is 45 degrees descent.

I thought B&M's were at 38 degrees?

Pretty sure all B&M Hypers have a 45 degrees ascent.

actually diamondback angle of ascent is 40...resource it should be the 5 or 6 question

All B&M hypers do *not* have a 45* ascent. Not even close.

EDIT: Let me clarify since the English language can be screwy sometimes...I mean most don't have a 45* lift, not that none of them do. I'd guess the steepest is something like 40*, but I'm not sure. I am sure that many are on a much shallower slope.

Didn't Diamondbacks have to be steeper in order to make clearance of a path or something?

Mostly the train.

Final version of the drop:

Yes, it will be adjusted.
