Hurakan-pics pg6!!!

a b&m hyper designed for Six Flags Fiesta Texas, based on Goliath from SFOG. Knowing Six FLags sucess in naming Tatsu ; they name this coaster Hurakan - fire dragon of mexico's yucatan peninsula - to go along with San Antonios Mexican Backround!

Thats pretty much the basis of this coaster. Its not a recreation of Goliath coming to SFOG, but it contains some of the elements. The SLC coming to SFFT will be placed over by Superman, and not Where Jokers Revenge Used to be, decided by six flags when b&m presented this idea.

Im deciding to do this coaster instead of the contest, because i suck at inversions[lol]


Here are the screens, train colors not decided-just set same as SFOG's goliath. Lift supports are 100% hand made and designed to resemble a b&m coaster

let me know what you think

JakiZle

Lift supports 100% hand done.....?

Theres like 8 beams there, whats so special.

i hate the name . . . but the track looks ok

Yay another Goliath. NOT. Name is way overused but you are imitating Six Flags there.

hey woodie man i ma from six flags as the constructor!! But if yall dont like the being for SFFT and imating SF very well by using Goliath, then i guess i could change, but my plan was for a SF theme.

I added a pic of a proposed drop, lemme know what you think

I have 2 questions...
1- wheres the angle on the drop?
2- whats the G's at the bottom of the first hill?

You need it to be steeper and pull more than 2 G's

thats what i was thinking when i made it, thanks alot Dave, thats why i posted the pic, to get help



how about this:
3.4 g's

looks cool but still needs to be steeper!

i think its steep enough for a b&m

[jayman]

steeper and taller!!!!! , but still the best part will be cruising along the ground after the track ends at the bottom of the drop. make sure you use the terrain smoother other wise it migh be a bumpy ride.. how do you plan to stop the train?

You need way more support on that lift, or you could make the beams thicker. Also, it doesn't look like the supports are evenly spaced.

fromt he side they are, and most b&ms have 4 or 5 sets of supports. They are at 3, make 4 or 5?

Yeah. It just doesn't look like enough. The nyou have to smooth the bottom of taht drop out, I can see that it's going to pump when you put something on it.

ill show you tomorrow on aim if you want and you can tell me where to work on the drop, thanks in advance if you will

ok ive decided on going custom with the name like sfmm did with Tatsu, and go for Hurakan - fire dragon of mexicos yucatan peninsula - fir the name of this coaster. Some color changes, will be shown shortly

like the name or no?

i like the name

thanks ck, now i need help with colors!!

what should i change!


btw, the trains look sweet

new colors: silver track and ties, orange rails, red supports
blue trains(not bright, like the blue on catapult)
black seats and gear
silver restrains

You guys are so funny. You'll criticize a real coaster for the name Goliath but the NL one is just fine, AND EVEN COOL!

Looks nice, about the drop. It doesn't have to be high and steep to be good. Look at Raging Bull and Apollo's Chariot; both 65* drops and not over 202' high. Then look at the airtime you get on them, comparable to Millenium Force! The drop is fine. Same with woodies, most of the time its worse if its higher and faster.

thanks, i really havnt worked on the drop today, just names and colors. If you want to leave color ideas here, leave um. Ill be back at 730 to check up. Thanks

what you can help get better:

The trains match the track nicely. And like Jimmy said, do add some more lift supports. Nice font for the name too.

you like the colors!?! there hideous !!! (no offence jakizle)

[Coasterkidmwm]

The colors I actually don't think are that bad. It's the orange rails that are bothering me. The white track and maybe a slightly different color red supports I think would look really good.

i like the orange sence its the fire dragon, and the blue comes from some wind parts of the dragon as well. lol i did do reasearch. For the supports, should I add an extra set of supporting, or make each support go to the left and rigt, just not left?

jakizle get on AIM and i will fix your colors for you (dont worry there kool)
