Mchumba (sweetheart in Swahili) the fastest, longest and most inverted floorless Dive machine.

Theming will be similar to Busch Gardens Africa I think.

AHG did all the banking. Trackwork cost me a lot of time to make it smooth.

First time I'll be using 3DS Max, which I have to learn quite a bit.

Some pics can be found here:

The trackwork is done! I need testers to test the flow of the track.

If you have any suggestion about theming (color of the track) or anything else, tell me.

PS. If you come up with a better name, you can respond too.[:)]

If you are low on testers, you're welcome to send it to me. You don't need to though, but I might add I like the name you have already! Mchumba...It really sounds like a true African themed ride.

Great guys! I am low on testers.

GerstlCrazy, I read in another thread that you come up with names very quickly, so that's why I asked ppl if they liked the name or not. I'm glad that you like it :) I have looked for African names on sites with baby names :P

i'll test. The ride looks very good. I was very disapointed in B&m for not making the inversions on a diving machine plentiful. this definetly looks like it does. blackhand1001@comcast.net

^^^ I agree...basically all B&M does with divers these days are immelmans...I always love a good immelman, but I don't mind rolls either. One would think heartlining a roll with trains that have eight across in a row would be hard, so maybe that's not the best idea [lol]...

Geno Paris, I've actually come up with some good "African" based language names

Peligrosu means Dangerous in Swahili
Amizu means Amazing in Swahili
MayanBender (that one is not Swahili [lol]) It sounded cool to me, because Mayan is a deep African theme of voodoo and ritualistic beliefs...the Bender added to it signifies that it twists and bends.

Do these help? [lol]

^Give it a chance. How many of these large scale divers with actual layouts have been made? Only 2 now. Wait untill you start bashing about originality.

GerstlCrazy, thnx for picking some names for me. It has to be better than Mchumba, in order to get it's name changed. Amizu sounds nice though, but not as powerful as Mchumba.

I've had a discussion about the heartline/jojo roll in my track on another site. It's possible to have a heartline roll on a 8 or 10 seats wide dive machine, but the element has to be stretched out.
I have to choose. Am I going to resemble a real 8 seats wide Dive Machine, or am I going to adjust the track to the smaller NL trains? I have chosen the last option. People are going to rate the track more on intensity, flow and smoothnes of the track, rather than if it resembles a real Dive Machine. I won't sacrifice fun over reality. :)

I'll add in the track description later, that the track is based on a 4 seats wide Dive machine and should be rate as one.

btw, have you tested my track yet?? :D

That I have, and in fear of giving anything away, I will respond via PM...I must say this is the type of diver that I'm looking for in the world though...
