Banshee

I just finished the trackwork on a new stand-up coaster named "Scream of the BANSHEE" I can't heartline it or give it any custom scenery (I Have a MAC). Is there anyone who can help me with that? Any help is greatly appreciated.


here is where you can see some pics: http://www.NoLimitsDevCenter.net/p5652

I could help with some scenery if you'd want.

So it's inspired by Mantis, I'm assuming?

You can't heartline it, because you use a Mac? Do you not have a mouse and a pair of eyes?

^[lol] true

I have an Apple computer and the program that you heartline it with is for Windows. Why is that weird? Is there a way to heartine on a mac computer?

If i am coming off as being a bit condescending, I apologize. That was not my intention at all.

Actually, it is inspired by quite a few coasters. The layout is actually inspired by Georgia Scorcher and Led Zeppelin (even though that is not a standing coaster). It is partially inspired by Mantis because of its Size (Mantis being 145 feet tall with a 137ft drop, and banshee being 140ft tall with a 136ft drop). Also Mantis was originally going to be named Banshee, but Cedar Point decided to change it when they found out the definition of the word.

Like I said previously. With your mouse and your eyes.
What your saying is like saying that you're just going to starve to death because you haven't got a car to go to the shops in... WALK! Do it manually, you don't need a tool to do it for you!

I always heard that it does not work well manually. I will give it a try and see what happens.

I tried Manual heartlining and it does not work.

Fail.

Put this on failblog

What do you mean by "it does not work"?

Rather, you do not work. If you put effort into it, you can heartline something yourself. It is not, of course, mathematical perfection, but it can be done quite sufficiently with time.

They always knew what the name Banshee meant, just look at the logo that was created.

It was changed because when the name was released it caught negative feedback from a lot of people in and around the park. I think it was one of the most ridiculous name changes ever...but oh well.

Lol, I don't use any tools for most tracks, and heartlining is easy and does work.

If you've no idea what you're doing... well, it's simple.

All you do is make sure the yellow line floating above the track stays in the center of gravity; that way little lateral forces are produce and more normal g-forces.

And I knew Mantis was originally planned to be Banshee, Aplengeist. That's exactly why I asked if it was like Mantis.
