Starbucks: Mocha Twist, The Ride

Well yep, this is my latest creation. It's called Starbucks-Mocha Twist, The ride and it's inspired by Nascar: The Ride at LV. It features a 65MPH launch, a Double-Snake Dive Roll, A twisted spike, and a half loop element with a portion of a track completely upside down. Currently 3ds are not finished, and neither is the landscaping, nor the supports. I want to accomplish a whole midway to go with the coaster so it actually looks like a small LV strip. Although I'm not really sure if I want to go all out with the theming with this ride since i really don't have much free time now-a-days. Anyway here are the screens:




The launch out of the coffe shop.



Another screen of the launch.



A look at the double snake dive roll.



Here is the twisted spike.



The half loop.

This is the portion of the track which holds you upside down for a quick second.

Well that's all the screens for now, more pics coming soon.

Interesting concept to say the least, keep it up!

Looks like a fun ride, but I don't know how comfortable being upside down for that long would be.

I can't say those colors are appropriate...But it looks fun!

Since it's named after a Starbucks drink I don't think the ride fits well with them because:
1. It needs to cost 5 times as much as necessary
2. Unflavored normal coffee flavored coffee must be weak and taste like burning
3. All seats need a pnematic mounted ball kicking device on them to remind you how you're a wuss for getting a mocha frappa cappa double shot whatever instead of coffee with cream and sugar like a normal person.
4. You need to invent a new sizing scale. Remember small is medium, medium is large, and large "vent tea" or something like that. Invent a new word or units to describe this ride so people don't feel ripped off when they're really being slammed up the butt in prices.

[lol]

I'll make sure I consider those things while I finish bulding the ride[;)]

On a side note, I changed the back spike so that it's in a 120 degree angle so now it doesn't have that akward inverted portion of track. (Considering it was a bit dangerous because of the hang time)

Finally something will get me to go to Starbucks...

Got a picture of the change? To me that actually sounds more exciting than being completely upside down.

Ok well some minor changes have been made to the ride. I shortened the front tower so that the train goes fully up the spiral. Also the inverted portion of the track has been changed to a 120 degree angled spike. Oh and the 3ds have been updated with some technical stuff for the ride. Anyway here are the screens:



The angled tower. (It has a holding break)



The launch portion of the ride has been updated with a roof.



I kinda made the launch similar to V2 at SFGAM. You can see the arches around the launch which I think houses tubes that lead to what powers the lims.

Sorry that I double posted but I though that maybe I could bump the topic a bit. Anyway I am currently close to finished with the starbucks building. It just needs some roofing/fencing on some sections. Anyway I thought I'd add this picture of what I plan to do with the surroundings. It should give you guys a good idea of what I'm trying to go for so far. I've still haven't gotten an idea for how to support the ride on top of the road so perhaps a few tips could help.
