The roller coaster has gone through an identity crisis, and is now named after the X-Men villain, Magneto. I also had to change the second half slightly as the ride failed the emergency stop test at the MCBR. The little hills under the last corkscrew before the final brake had to be gutted, but the ...
I usually wait until more than just a layout is done before sharing my ideas, but I am so happy with the track layout and shaping that I'm confident in locking this in as a project to complete. Not enough love has been given to the stand up roller coaster, so here is my inspiration to create an inte...
I liked the bonuses. I probably wouldn't have gone for a strata coaster without them, but I was determined to get that height record! The absurdity of the build location mixed with the quirky rules led to some really interesting and varied ideas. I don't think the overall idea of the contest was.. r...
What a pretty skyline this has. Really nice layout overall. I'm sure you were going for aesthetic when stacking (from the top) air hill, roll, air hill, but I think it might ride better having a roll on the bottom as well instead of the second airtime hill. I would roll it right, countering the prev...
Haven't had the chance to check out the update as I'm still honeymooning in Thailand, but those rail connectors have got me excited to see! Will be testing them out in a few days. Looking real nice, can't wait to check this one out.
Quick update: things are moving along! The park decorations around the main attraction are all sliding in pretty easily and I am liking the overall feel of this chunk of amusement park. screenshot-2019-12-17-10-00-19.png Batman needs supports and a station. I'll also include a small plaza of sorts t...
I know just what you mean when you talk of the challenges B&M faces with these, I've got one in the works as well; and am happy to see some competition! I like the colors and theme, very inspiring. I've seen a fair bit of these made in No Limits that far exceed a track length that anybody would ...
My entry progress. Looks nice! I like the custom support work a lot. But either you haven't gotten there yet, or your coaster won't satisfy one of the rules! - Green is a special one: your ride has to reach ABOVE the green support in THAT area, so that the coaster is visible above the parking garag...
The first big drop after the corkscrew looks like magic. The ice cave looks great, and I love how the ride is coming through. Not so sure about the rocks in there though. Can't put my finger on it, but they seem out of place. The rest of your scenery looks fantastic, especially that fog giving a rea...
As a senior in an engineering program, I would sure hope I could do the math, hehe. Thanks very much! Also if anybody has a better blueprint/overhead shot of Batman: the Ride, I would appreciate it! Having a hard time finding a layout of any kind; might just be looking in the wrong places. What I ha...
So I have done a little trolling around this site but can't quite seem to find what I'm looking for. I am trying to come up with a reliable way to change the background image within FVD++ to be the layout image of a ride or screenshot of google images or something along those lines, whatever I can f...
Icarus: Wings of Steel is a B&M giga coaster. Standing at 95m (312 ft) tall, Icarus sends riders over 1800m (5905.5 ft) of track including three massive airtime hills, a special Sun Dive element, and a fast and intense finish. The towering structure dominates the entire backside of the park, str...
https://www.coastercrazy.com/exchange/detail.php?track_id=22271 Hello all, I was hoping for just a little feedback on my new park. I don't care so much about the number, but what did you think of it? Did anybody have performance issues? (I know the light pattern creator isn't the most efficient meth...
A few of the final details got put on hold for quite a while, but I've been able to slowly chip at it, so I am finally happy enough to release this project. Please enjoy, and don't hesitate to leave feedback, it is appreciated! Cheers, Frank https://www.coastercrazy.com/exchange/detail.php?track_id=...
I really like your station. The extension of the floor towards the rear of the train is a nice touch. Layout looks pretty nice. The fly-through structure has good potential, as long as it isn't standing by itself awkwardly in a field. Hasn't been stated that I see, but you're going for Gravity Group...
I read through some of this yesterday and thought to share some concerns, but refrained so as to give it a little thought. Came back to say a few words, but now I can say that I agree with dcs on pretty much every point; would say it in almost the same way too. -2.0 g's is certainly uncomfortable, i...
I used the light pattern creator within the editor to do all of the 3d objects such as the road and park paths. I will probably leave the coaster files in that were the backbone for those to shed light on my process, for critique or inspiration. The restaurants and flat rides come mostly from the co...
This will probably be the last update before I release this park. I added signs for Valkyrie and for Stag to the list as well as custom loop connectors, which you might just be able to make out in this screenshot. I also adjusted the crosstie density and spine thickness in places where necessary to ...
I am genuinely in awe with how lovingly you've been putting this together. The Vortex station looks brilliant, as does The Beast's station. The extra details like lockers and soda machines will add up to kill my GPU, but are totally worth it. I know you're excited to start the next phase, as am I, b...
