I've been working on this track for quite a while now, and finally it's almost finished [^]
All I have to do is some support checks and tunneltesting and that sort of things..

In the meanwhile, screenshots can be found here:

The video is awesome. The ride looks cool though too. I didn't look at all the pictures but does it only have a roll for an inversion?

Yep, I really wanted to include a Maverick-style ultrafast heartlineroll, but the rest of the ride is more about high speed turns, and also a few airtime hills [|)]

Looks like a fun ride and that video was really well done.

Would you be interested in making a similar video for one of my coasters?

Very nice video! The musc reminded me of a mix between gladiator soundtrack and pirates of the caribean[:)] The turn after the launch seemed like it banked a bit too fast?

Edit: What did you use to record the video since it doesn't have the fraps in thing on the video?

The turn after the launch is fast, but not too fast I think..
For the screen recording I used the full version of SnagIt

I checked everything btw, and I'll try to upload it somewhere tomorrow [:)]

Looks like a good contender for an Intamin Wing Walker.
Although, not to be a party pooper.
The name, sounds really [r].
Rides got great potential.
Nice work.

Pretty cool. Agreed on the name thing, otherwise I love the layout but the supports look to unrealistic.

What is wrong with the supports? I don't think it's oversupported, the 4-tube track is way heavier than 3- or 2tube, and with the train rolling by with 4 G's I think it's very usefull to have some more. I even made all the supports go straight into the footers, what some people often forget when making a realistic Intamin.

I think this was meantioned in another topic, the conclusion i think was that 4 tube tracks require the least supporting and 2 tube tracks require the most. So in fact i also think it is oversupported because the 4 tube track acts as supporting in itself. If you have spent a really long time on supports i wouldn't change it but if you are not happy with it go ahead and change.

Standard regulations are that supports must be placed within one train distance from each other.
Thats why the Eurofighters seem so over-supported (small trains [;)]).
In some cases you have 2 or even 3 supports per one train. Which is too much.
Although it may look good, they are totally un-needed.

Thanks for the advice, I've removed almost half the supports, the distance between them is now 13m., is that okay?

If you post a picture then its easier for us to say. It's hard to tell just from a figure, but it sounds about right.

^^could have been a little shorter together, but it'll do just fine, anyone taking off point for undersupport has issues
