Llamaboys Construction Thread-- Project 1977

Hi,
I plan to start work on a small family coaster soon, and would like your thoughts on what I have so far. My main goals for this project will be .3ds based, and I hope to have a relativity detailed surrounding area. Right now, though, all I have is the track.







Turns out working with these low speeds is difficult in FVD...
I'm also working on a comprehensive review of Busch Gardens Williamsburg which should be released soon.

Honestly do you need the FVD for a spinning coaster? It's not like laterals will be a super huge concern.

Looks fun - nice to see a train spinner - don't get many of those doing the rounds!

Cool project!

what are you planning for scenery? I think a laff track thing could be cool in NL2 if you can pull it off without the lights lagging it down

^ I've been meaning to do a racing theme for a while now. This might be a small scale test of that theme. I'm still trying to work out what a racing themed station will look like though. I also would like to have area music and a restaurant in the area around the ride.

^^^ I'm so bad at hand building. I've been using FVD programs for so long I can't even hand build anymore.

I made a thing.





Interesting support. Keep in mind that nothing (colors especially) is final.

Looks like a epic/awsome thing I like the colors you don't see colors like that on a invert

[TTD03]

Looks great!
Really unique colors for the invert!

I'm really liking the layout! Awesome work!

Looking good! Only problem is the part after the MCBR is a bit short, but that's fine really. Like the colors and I think you should leave them like that.

Thanks for the comments! I know you like the colors, but I do have some other options to choose from.

What do you think of this color scheme compared to the original?

I like the new one

this has to be a tough one I like them both but ill go with the new one

Ok then, looks like the new ones staying.

I finished the supports:





I'm not really sure what to do with these supports, though:



Some nice pics:





Thanks!

Invert looks good so far and reminds me of Silver Bullet. Maybe look at Raptor's final helix for inspiration on the best way to support it.

Worked on the support a little.

I'm at a decision point... I can release the ride as it is, or turn it into a park. I'm also not sure if it would be worth makinga video for it. What do you guys think?

Release as it is.

Phoenix Released!

Hello,

This is a small side project I've made over the last 2 weeks. The Goal with this project was to improve realism in my rides, and create a ride that I could see going into a modern park today.

Love it and the colors!
Any chance of a download link?

^ Yes.

Thanks for sharing!

Makin' another invert. This one is set in a German village, and has a very unique first drop.

[Blase Rhine]

I'm really loving that drop! It's very unique!

[TTD03]

Very nice drop! Always wanted to see one of those in real life!
