[NL] Project Sphinx

[gouldy]

Hmmmph, well, being the only suggestion so far, it is in actual fact, the best suggestion so far jpe [;)][lol]. It's not bad, but it doesn't roll off the tongue like "Sphinx" does it, not bad though. I might actually end up just calling the ride Sphinx anyway, screw that other guy! ... Although not literally obviously, cus that's what some of you were thinking, God DAMN you've all got dirty minds!

It's my ride....I don't mind if you use the name...lol...It's just a name :p

[gouldy]

heh, cool. It's just you know, if two rides were to come out around the same time with the same name, it might just look a little cruddy is all . I'm sticking with Sphinx though, unless someone can come up with a decent alternative.

i would like to do some 3ds for ya,

i was already planning to make a b&minvert with huge egypt theming, but if i make your 3ds, i'll be making mine atlantis themed

I like Osiris, but some one has probaly used that before

You might want to look up some Nile songs, some of them would be awesome to use as a name for an Egyptian themed coaster. All their names/lyrics are Egyptian themed. Plus, they're an awesome technical brutal death metal band that you'd probably like gouldy. They're one of my favorite bands.

A few good names would be:
Spawn Of Uamenti
Wind Of Horus
Khetti Satha Shemsu

heh, yeah, I had some Nile on my old PC. But I really do want a one word name, one that rolls off your tongue. Out of the names so far, the ones that go best with the ride are Sphinx and Ptah, although I really like Osiris, it just doesn't fit with the ride for some reason, hmmmph. I think I am probably just going to stick with Sphinx , after all that haha.

Anyway, here are a couple more pictures for you to look at at. Again, these pictures are a few days old. They show the trackwork completed, although the supports that mark out where my 3d's will be are on a seperate trackfile, as you're not seeing them yet [;)][lol]

There probably won't be an update on this for a while now, I may post a 3D's related question at some point however

the layout looks kinda short for a floorless

I wouldn't say it's too short, although personally I think it could do with another inversion, maybe a zero-g roll or a corkscrew after the cobra roll. But you said you'd finished the trackwork, so you're probably not going to change that now anyway.

[gouldy]

Nah, the layout works for me to be honest, Originally there was another inversion, but I just felt this was better, you'll have to trust me [:)]. It's not too short either, I certainly wouldn't say it is anyway, one of my favourite rides if Daemonen and it lasts longer than that so in my books it's fine [:)].

Anyone know how to make it so Fraps videos aren't like 10GB? First time I've used it see, first time I've made a video of any kind on a computer infact.

^Yah, it's very similar to Daemonen and hey if it's longer, that's more time to enjoy the coaster. BTW nice pic with all of the trains.

I like how it seems short. It looks like a ride that a smaller park could afford. That makes it seem very realistic to me. I also think the layout is original, though I don't like that none of the inversions seem to be customized/modified at all. Cool first drop/turn sequence.

^ Oh brother...

I also like that layout a hell lot. Doesn't look too short to me... It'll be certainly nice to see a floorless that doesn't feature your average 6 or 7 inversions.

Looking good Gouldy,very original,can't wait to see.

how are you going to do the 3ds?,
by yourself?

if you need anyone, i could send you some of my work and you can check it out

Hyyyper let him try it himself man. I personally want to see gouldys 3ds work, as its so much better when people become skilled in every aspect of nolimits. You get better rates if you do everything yourself rather than just contacting someone who can do 3ds for you.
