Holy hell, these rides have come such a long way since I last visited O_o

dat ***y wrap around the first drop

I'm excited, looks like it would be something B&M would create in the near future

I submitted mine just now, so that makes 5 entries.

Originally posted by tmv8888 Who else is doing a launch? I'm excited to see these launched B&Ms in the competition. Has anybody successfully completed a layout with nothing but a lift hill? So far, I've finished everything as of now with only a single 125 ft lift, but I'm not entirely sure about su...

i think that coherency and layout is more important than element combinations -- better to have a coaster that maintains a sense of speed throughout and a natural, well planned return to the station than to have the whole ride center around a five-element combo with an insipid return to the station ...

probably moving way faster than i should be. Not entirely content with the first half of the ride, might change it up a bit later, but i think the second half is absolutely solid. Image Insert: http://www.coastercrazy.com/forum/file_attachments/richie5126/20136123268_sd.jpg 177.84 KB my challen...

meh, I wanted to go with something that wouldn't go too much outside of B&M's design style, and wouldn't be a pain to support later on. yeah some really poopty shaping in the back and in the transition, but I'll smooth that out along the way.

does an inclined loop count as a vertical loop?

also finally got around to shaping poop

I think I might give it a try, too, for luls.

I suppose it has to do more with the recurring notion that woodies submitted to the site have to have more than two months' work in order to receive a 7 rating or higher. Given that the time frame was something like a month -- and the fact that the majority of players auto-support rather than worry ...

did you try reading this thread on black faces?

Personally, I think the color scheme resembles Nimbostratus a bit. Maybe a R127 G104 B104 warm grey color scheme would be better suited to the name than the cloudy-ish blue you have right now. Just personal opinion.

To be honest, I found the parking lot to be quite thrilling. The high speed around parking lines amplified the feeling of speed and the overall dull colors actually created the impression of an old speed machine -- something along the lines of a steel looping woodie. The scenery was certainly better...

Originally posted by Jcoasters http://cache.rcdb.com/6po000g6i6d2amm40um23p.jpg Parkinglot coaster says "hi" I love how people talk about this as a cheap, pathetic, "low-end" B&M coaster that's barely worth riding, then proceed to gush over Bizarro/Medusa, which is essentially a mirror version of t...

Originally posted by Onjin Richie, the corkscrew doesn't look quite right banking or the B&M circular shape. Though could be the pic angle, that it isn't a full corkscrew or the one beer I had while posting this. I spent some time looking at more reference pics and I have a better corkscrew, but it...

Somewhat major update. Got some theming and trackwork done, and added a bit of floater air after the mid brakes. Image Insert: http://www.coastercrazy.com/forum/file_attachments/richie5126/2012123118658_nef1.jpg 135.65 KB Yeah, I'll probably change the hill over on the left to a Stengel dive. Image ...

6 chain lifts. *eyegasm*

Small update for trackwork and 3ds: Image Insert: http://www.coastercrazy.com/forum/file_attachments/richie5126/20121214171515_Nefriskorp%20Construction-121214151602000.jpg 103.99 KB Some temple thingy that I suppose is going to be important later on. For now, though, it makes the exit of the l...

Originally posted by Dirk_Ermen I guess not all the entries used their own pictures as source?

I think the perspective render of the sim made some of those elements look weird. However, I did some more screenshot references later on and realized that the loop is, in fact, too circular. I suppose I was just overly afraid of overdoing the teardroppish shape. Here is the reshaped loop: Image Ins...

Originally posted by Ajax_Coasters I think the supports on your loop come out a little too far Fixed. Originally posted by CKidd hmm in the first picture the loop looks fine, and then in the picture it very circular Looks like it's just the viewing angle.

I recently downloaded Elementary to my computer and realized what I've been missing out on forever. So here's my first shot at creating an accurately shaped, custom B&M floorless. My computer's been lagging lately, so I had to run the sim with low-quality graphics. Customized B&M predrop-like turn o...
