Lava Blast (update 11/21)

^yo, lover , shut up, he'll post pics when he has time to do it. You can keep asking , but it won't solve a thing.

BTW. ????????? would love to test!

J.ruyven@chello.nl

I saw the first version, so I would be happy to check out your changes.
I can't actually get to it until Monday.

pdonahue@royalslc.com

if you still need testers coasterfreak3@comcast.net

I'm available right now as well cjd. I can test if you want. I'm not one of those testers who ride it and don't give feedback. I find anything i can to let you know about.
alan@coastercravers.com

Awesome. I'm sending the track to everyone immediately.

Just so everyone knows, this is the last round of testing. Once I have begun work on the scenery and supports, I'm closing the testing offer. After all, if anyone wants to critisize my 3ds work, they can do it just as easily from pictures [;)]

I'll be heading to Cedar Point in 2 weeks, so I can't really offer a legitimate time estimate on the release of this coaster. It depends on how many people are working at the food stand with me, and therefore how much time I have to work each week. I'll take a stab and say about 5-6 weeks, as I'm working vigorously on 2 other coasters as well, and I still have the end of the NL Tournament to host. It's a little iffy... could be sooner, could be later. I'll keep you all updated with pics as I begin to finish stuff.

sorry cjd, but can you send it to

Thedoughertys2@cox.net

please

I sent it to the ryandoughertys email address. is that ok? If it isn't, I'll send again in the morning. I'm going to bed...

Cjd, I'm just wondering if you recieved my reply the first time? If so, I find no need to test again.

While cjd is away, can I post pics for people without NL?

How about not, it's not your coaster. It is CJD's coaster. He makes the decisions about his work, not you.

This is awesome, nearly no jerks or bumps. I think that it would be better if there was an exit station before the brake turnaround. Then it would increase capacity.

I got your reply. I'm just offering testing again because now I finished the trackwork. The version you got was incomplete.

You know, nobody really cares what you think. It's CJD's coaster, let him build it the way he wants. The reason people let others test is so that the testers can find errors the builder may have missed. It helps to have more than one set of eyes sometimes.

It is better than all of his others

hey tht sounds kool!!!

Can u send it to me?

trainman1013@comcast.net

Can u send it to me too? i tested the other version and i'd like to see what you changed.

montu_man889@hotmail.com

He just made it smoother.

Uh, please tell me how a two line blah blah statement is better than atleast a paragraph response that talks about many things, not just a very unspecific over view.

Cjd, if you would like, I'll test for you again. If you don't have my email adress, just ask on PM. I'm trying to limit giving out all my info for some reason. [?]

taytay, coasterguy, Jakizle, it's on the way.

After that, testing is closed and I'm starting work on the terrain, 3ds, tunnels, supports and stuff. I'll post photo updates whenever I have new stuff to show.

Also, long before this coaster is finished, I will be uploading the "Cyclone" coaster mentioned on the front page, which is a Traver-inspired GCI coaster. Its release is only a few weeks from now.

One final note on new coaster construction... I'll be releasing "Thrasher 2", the incarnation of what my original "Thrasher" coaster from 2003 was originally planned to be. It has turned out as an awesome coaster, so don't forget to check for it next Sunday.

Awesome, sounds like the coming months and during summer time is going to be the best time of the year regarding NL coasters.

Cjd, I'm heading off to bed now, and I have school plus an away baseball game tomorrow, and then theres HW. I may not get a review to 9 or 10, but I promise I will do it ASAP.

^Lol, that sounds exactly like what I say before doing contest ratings... [;)] Seriously, though, take your time. I should probably be doing more of that stuff myself.

Any pics yet? Man, I sound like a dork.

[gouldy]

...there's no smoke without fire

but he's here

Chill, dude. Seriously.

I haven't started the terrain parts yet. I've been working on "Thrasher 2" (releasing it tomorrow, by the way...), and I'll be moving to Cedar Point for the summer next week, so it will still be a while before I get working on this coasters finishing parts, and a while more before I have made enough progress to post pictures.

The bottom line: Get some patience. It'll still be a while before pics are up. So chill out and enjoy "Thrasher 2" in the meantime. (check tomorrow for that one... it's a lot of fun.)
