Sai - Themed Inverted Shuttle (B&M) - Updated

Hey. After Titanic's loss (get it?) i wanted to start something new and fresh. Well i love spinners and I thought about things in China and Japan so i picked that so its a Spinner themed around a pagoda.

Some 3DS include:
Lanterns
Rocks
Pagoda
Custom Station
Chinese Symbols

And ive sorta created a cheesy story which has pprobably been done before but nevermind.

Sai Story:

Land of the Sacred Scrolls. Thats what they call it. 5 centries before ours was a forbidden land known as Saitokori it was a small pot of forest with a pagoda standing 50 ft above the water it sat on. 1 man had lived in that room for 100 years before he had been killed by the assassin who had wanted this scroll. But that man wasn't a stupid as you might think. He hid them in the shack ontop of the nearby hill, which had been there for many years. The assassin looked in there and there they were the ancient scrolls of Sai. The assassin grabbed them and had run away, not know the spell that had been put on them to preventanyone from leaving the land. Now you are the Sai you must get rid of this nusence once and for all.

Prepare to be Spellbound.

I haven't started the actual track but the 3Ds i have started.

WEll anyways leave comments on what ideas and thoughts you have on the ride. [:D]

This ride is going to be a unique shuttle design. This might include elements, overbanked turns and terrain interaction.

uhm screenies maybe would be nice once you start the track, but i love asian theming, so i'm really looking forward to this! good luck, if you need a tester PM me.

This hasn't taken me long. I have done half th track already. But supposing it is a shuttle. ive been working on it for 3 hours each day so im not doing that bad.

But anyways here some screenies! [:D][8D][:D][8D][:D][8D][:D][:)][:I][:)][:I][:)][:I][:)]



The launch into corkscrew, quite intense.



Im extremely proud of this bit, why have a shuttle which doesn't feel your going to fall off? It does the circuit beforethis spike, theres a launch before going 20km/h it launches it so it feel like you will fall off but it quickly grabs you back and you fall down to earth. The thing is there a giant pagod in from, soyou feel like your going to "bring the house down"

wow a b&m invert shuttle, original!

Ive been working alot last night finishing some suff and decided to do most of this, no supports yet and im still fixing up the crappy station but here's 2 new pics, 1 of scenery and 1 of the second backwards spike.



Rock tunnel/through. I wanted som scenery proxamity and interaction.



Second spike, this falls back then the hydraulics kick in pushing it aroun to the station, about 10 cm from falling off!

^^ i agree with tmv about the orignality of a shuttle B&M invert.
If you need testers you know to find me.

5 days of work (30 hours in all) and most of Sai has been done, this is my first ever shuttle and Im sorta fine with how it turned out, well here's an overview of track, few minor things left.

I edited the second spike and added an addition to the 3ds, this ride stated by MOH is, "Nearly an FPS killer" so be careful when you ride on the 5th of November.

New Piccys!


New 3D, Fountain: Peace and serenity, with roaring speeds of Sai!


The second spike changed version. Look a bit nicer on the eye *wink* *wink*

Why don't you make the ride your focus instead of the scenery around it.

Oh I have. Iv'e AHG'ed the track and tweaked it and made it as badass ride. Then I just put scenery around. But in one sense your right, im sorta addicted to a great scened ride.

dude when i exported ur .3ds, i think the file name for the different japanese writing textures are the same... look into that? cuz u gave me like 3 different ones...check if they are 3 different ones, or all the same texture

Sai Trailer. This ride comes out tommorow! [8D][:D][8D][:D][8D][:D][8D][:D][8D][:D][8D][:D][8D][:D][8D]
