like the idea mate but i dont like the prefab cobra roll, it looks out of place. i think it should be like the one from the hulk with large half loops but a small set of half corks.

^?

I agree with Gazag that the idea is cool, really a great thought. My only concern is that lead up into the immelmen. It looks a little unsteady from the views given...

Gazag, I don't think your title is offensive at al. In fact, I'd like you to change it to something more vulgar.

You guys are such pervs. His title is refering to a popsicle or lolipop. Sheesh.

Anywho...
Where to begin with this coaster. Man, this thing is big. hah Good idea, my only problem is how close it is to Alpy. Same element order, just set up a little bit differently. And ugly bright yellow of course.

Ok. I have changed a bit since i last posted. Both cobra roll and the immelmann have been lowered to increase the speed they are taken at and the cobra roll has been modified a lot so its no longer the the prefab one. I am done with supports up through the cobra roll. I have to do from the loop on. They are all 100% custom and have the extended pieces at the connections so that they don't have exposed edges or look messy.

BTW, I need a name for the ride and if the name needs a different color scheme i'll change it.

Update: Finished supports up to the MCBR. Only the supports after the MCBR have to be finished.

Hate to hand it to ya Blackhand, but not alot of people are willing to take the [long and vigorous] time to do 3Ds for tracks other than their own...but you need to change the color scheme regardless of any name you get...that yellow is not lookin' attractive man!

Does this look better. Looks slightly different in sim due to jpeg compression of photo but it like this one the best. I have 2 other alternate schemes in the pictures if you want to see those.

I am happy today that the this will be released very soon. I still need a name for it otherwise i'll have to pick a bad name that i think of. I would like an electric theme to the name. There are loads of new pics here. http://www.nolimitsdevcenter.net/p3176

How about Statix, or High-Voltage, or Thundrus, or Elektro (hehe, Gerstlauer), or NeoZap!

Haha those names just shout out AWESOMENESS so I threw the suggestions your way in case you wanted some inspiration...

I can do the 3D's!!! I have a trail version of Milkshake!

BTW, a good color scheme could be teal, dark grey, and a white. The name could be Nemesis or Genesis X or something along the line.

Let me do the 3D's since I have background in them.

Is it just me, or do others think that this is beyond under supported?

You almost need a support in between the ones already there,and the supports you do have need reinforcing- maybe some cross beams inside them.

It's not just you Arch. First in this picture ( http://www.nolimitsdevcenter.net/i26228 ) the supporting looks sloppy and underdone, and second in this picture ( http://www.nolimitsdevcenter.net/i26882 ) the tower supports look unevenly spaced out. If you have each tower structure equally spaced at even intervals (which should even be closer than you have them) not only will it look more professional, but it will be more efficient.

Ok. i have been adding in supports and shifting them around to make them better. Here is the immelman after some work. Is there improvement.

Definitely improvement...although, I never noticed how immense in length the pre-immelman straight section is. Is it necessary to keep riders waiting so long for the first element?

Ok. The ride still has 7 inversions now they are Immelmann, High speed stretched Corkscrew (taken at about 60mph at peak), Dive loop (first ever on an Invert), Loop, Zero G, Corkscrew, And Corkscrew. And BTW Gerstlcrazy the straight section looks longer from that angle but from a side view you can see that it is actually less and that some of it is the transition into the inversion.
