Fisherman's Hook (NL) - Update pg2 -

[Dirk_Ermen]

Yes, i'm a bit in a mood of building some quick rides. Even now while watching TV i got a crazy idea for a new ride. So I turned of the TV and started with building it in NL.

The idea is really crazy, An b&m Hyper shuttle coaster. Some kind of like a bigger brother from my Shark Attack.

Layout:
Well, starting off forward. Going up into a fishhook with slowly increaching speed up till 20km/u. When reaching 50meters high you drop down. Going through station. Have an insane speed ejector air hill taken backwards. Then going up by a turn on a 33meters high hill. With another ejector taken a drop down into the deep again. Going up a vertical Spike with 25km/u lift speed. When Reaching the top of 50 meters high. Drop again down into the deep. And doing the whole route but this time by going forwards [:)]

Well, since the project is already allmost done except some supporting and maybe support scenery. Here is a screen of the ride so far:



Enjoy and comments welcome [:)]

uhhh....sounds lame...i think you should put an helix or something circual into the track...

[Dirk_Ermen]

i guess you don't even understand that this is a shuttle coaster. Also helixes will cost too many speed for to use on a shuttle imo.

[hyyyper]

dirk, i can read, doesn't mean you can't be innovative,
and if a helix costs to much speed, highen the lift hill, and if that highes the G's, you've got yourself a challenge!

[Dirk_Ermen]

like i wrote, a simple between project. Not going to get do insane. I like the ride curently how it is. Just i'm not showing much right now [;)]

[Dirk_Ermen]

well, i've got 2 more screens to show you people [:)]


The queueline i just finished. Including parts to create a longer or shorter queueline [:)]


Getting scared yet? [:D]

Looks pretty cool, for a short project. Hopefully you're not going to leave those colors white.

You don't think the negative gs in the hook will be too uncomfortable? I mean, my shoulders might hurt as I ride it in my leather computer chair. [;)]

can you put pics of the full layout instead of like really zoomed pics?!

This looks kinda funky but good. I especially like the supports. Keep up the good work. [:)]

[Dirk_Ermen]

no, the colours will get a different colour, but i don't know which one yet... But eventually the supports will be gray [;)]

And Jim, you better can purchase a chair with a clamshell, no osrt seats allowed [;)]

Coastercrazy, you just need to have patience, i'm working on all the stuff. Close up pictures are better detailed then a whole overview. [;)]

Also i've got a big plan to put a big square. So the ride goes kinda around it for 50% [:)]

[hyyyper]

that tower looks like a water tower, perhaps u should theme it like that...

[Dirk_Ermen]

well, since my pc had since yesterday evening internet back i was a big busy with updating lots of stuff... Now since that is done i still need to update one thing. This threath. 2 more screenshots available [:)]


The hill that pulls some great airtime. Probably an awesome feeling when going backwards and not expecting airtime [pshades]


as you see, station + queueline is done. Single riders line, normal entrance, exit with counter gates.

Comments are welcome [:)]

[hyyyper]

lose the white...

the rest is really looking nice thought, the fishhook tower supports don't look realistic, perhaps because of fact that the top section is angled that makes it look weird...

Everything looks very nice Dirk. The lift reminds me a lot of the x-car coasters and that hill should be very nice. Keep up the good work. [:)]

cant wait to ride it

[Dirk_Ermen]

whoa, 3 month ago i stopped again on this project because i wanted to build a ride witout any 3ds. Now i have continued it, but this time just with the cs.com parkpack. I didn't wanted to insert 2500 footers [:D]

Enjoy the screens:

If you enter the area


That hill is weird feeling since you take it backwards first.


Full view of the area taken from the shot 'n drop tower [;)]


View when being on the top of the fishhook.

Soon to be expected on the exchange.

Looks good Dirk can't wait to ride it.
