Icky Thump: The Ride!

In the works is my new coaster. It's my second floorless coaster I've ever made, and after 5 months of releasing my first floorless coaster (and my second Scream Machines coaster), I hope to exceed even my own expectations on this project. I haven't set a release date as this is a long-term project.

You will experience this ride with "Icky Thump" by The White Stripes playing in the headrests of the seats. This ride is 148ft. tall and reaches a top speed of 60MPH. It will run 3 trains with 8 cars per train(and yes those are the final train colors). Here are the first pictures of construction:

It reminds me of Scream! at SFMM

Man Oscar you're really makin me sweat over here lol. I need to come up with a great idea for a coaster to make in our face-off. I think I got a good idea floatin around too [:p]

How come it's not White Stripes colors?

I'm not sure. I just really like the color combination and it fits the crazyness of the song I guess lol

Make the helix at the beginning tighter. Right now it's massive.

It really should be Red, Black, and White . . . for the full White Stripes effect . . .

Alright I made some new progress with the ride. It should be uploaded by Monday. Here's the latest pictures:

that roll doesn't look heartlined to me...??

It's a little heartlined at least. It's hard to heartline in SM. Hey at least my first drop's smoother than Air Derby's [:)]

Fair warning Jack, smoothness should be a much less important priority than getting a realistic, good looking heartline. It's a very easy thing to do, you just have to give it some good time...

I did some more editing to the heartline roll. I leaned the entrance to it more to the right and leaned it left near the end and sloped it more upward to improve it. It's more heartlined than it was before. And GerstlCrazy, believe me, someday I wanna impress you and receive a decent rating [:p] Still set to release it tomorrow. I'm off work today so I'll be able to finish up trackwork, smooth out everything, and get supports up [pshades]

::UPDATE::

I'm getting ready to upload my new coaster. It's been heartlined as much as possible and I integrated the White Stripe's colors into the trains

looks amazing!!! [approve]
