WhirlWind - New woodie...

A new woodie...yeah. I was inspired to build this by New Mexico Rattler and a little bit by Cornball Express. Lots of airtime, a ton of laterals and good amount of head choppers (including one spot where there are 4 lanes of track in a tiny area crossing).

All supports are currently being done by Woodie Man. [:D]

Some stats;
-94 feet tall
-2557 feet long
-12 spots of airtime

Hopefully in the future we will see some smaller scale woodies like the last of the CCI's by GG.

You know where to find me for testers.

I don't really need any testers, but if you would like to still take it for a ride i can send it to you.

Your call brother .... your call.

sent it to your hotmail address [:)]

I have a hotmail address?

You are signed into msn with that address...so I guess..

geesh...original

How'd you do the first drop like that? Which formula?

Except for the straight flat segments, the entire ride was built with the HSAK formula.

Looks good, I like it so far.

that drop looks a lot like NM Rattler's

And it should, the drop and the hill next to it is pretty much what first inspired me to build this ride. [:P]

I love how the drop on that and Cornball Express sort of flatten out at the top and fling the back seats over. I also really like how the hill comes back next to the lift under all the supports, curving and giving some nice airtime.

I took it one step further and made the drop next to the lift a double down which should be fully covered in supports giving some nice head choppers. Then immediately after the double are two more pops of airtime and a heavy dose of laterals. [devilish]

A first look at the supports by Woodie Man.

Great idea with the 3ds steel I beams, they look much better than just clumping a load of the default NL ones together.

Looks awesome!

I've decided to name it WhirlWind. Here is a look at the updated cartexture;

arent you using a steel supports structure? well regardless it looks nice.

A steel structure is SOOOOO unoriginal and lame now unless your doing it for a porpose.

As all the recent screenshots show, it is going to be a wooden structure. Those few screenshots with the steel structure in them were made before Woodie Man and myself had decided on a support style.
