CCI - Lost Highway..

Tryin' lots of things lately, but nothing really worked, untill I saw a POV of Ghostrider and I gained some inspriration for a new ride.
A CCI wooden coaster based on Ghostrider, not a remake, i'm just trying to built like CCI did in the past.

I'm hoping you guys may have some usefull advise because I never rode a CCI, are there any things I should know about?

Wide supports are going to be custom.

The first drop pulls 1.8 lat. g's and the airtime doesn't go above -1.0.

Let me know what you think.. [;)]

nice, i love it [:D]

Thanks, If there's anyone with some CCI experience that wants to test, just say so. [:)]

I love CCI. I'll test for you.

Ok, cool!

It's probably going to be named Lost Highway, but I'm gonna think that one over..

Maybe you guys think it's a crap name.. [:p]

I made a little progress, some lat. 'turns' and a little airtime spot.

The banking was slightly adjusted after making these screens, it is now at a minimal banking for lots of lats.

i am willing to help /w/ testing as well.... [;)]

Ok, Thanks!
But that's gonna take some time, when the layout is done, I'll send you what I've got. [;)]

Update

Well, the actual 'highway' is beeing built right now, and the track goes under it through a tunnel, I'm a n00b in the objectcreator and my skethup doesn't export right so I mostly don't get any further then a slab of concrete, but I'm finishing it of with some supports.

This is just a rough image of how it's goin' to be, I'm far from finishing it, anyway, here are the new pics, let me know what you think about it. [;)]

wow, thats actually pretty cool. i like it [:D]

this part is bothering me. i think you can edit it to make it look more something like this.

also, i don't know very many CCIs that have a MCBR... so i would try to get rid of it.

Yep You're right, after looking at it some time it started bothering me too.

I'll try to get a turn into there, thanks for the advise! [;)]

I think it looks fine, doesn't really bother me. He did say he was inspired by Ghost Rider didn't he? I just rode Ghost Rider 12-15 times a couple days ago and that piece reminds me of the flat turn-around/s-bend thing right before the MCBR on it. You can sort of see it in this picture - where the train is here: http://www.rcdb.com/ig526.htm?picture=1

That's what I thought at first, but it did come kinda early in the ride, and the supporting would also be a hell in that turn, I made a turn there now since I already wrecked it yesterday, but I know what you mean. [;)]

Edit//

Ghostrider has such a turnaround too, but it comes a little later in the ride, this came too early IMO, but maybe I'll put a turnaround with one or 2 brake sets a little later.

I now have this:

And this would really make supporting a lot easier, but thanks for the replies guys.

Get a better concrete texture - http://www.3dxtra.cygad.net/page/46.htm ... 087cf5cd82

^ Ah cool, didn't know that could be done.

But anyway, sorry guys but I'm gonna bail this project because I first of all AHG'ed it which wasn't a great idea in the first place, and now it seems I somehow turned of improved friction which F'ed all the g's up pretty bad, sorry guys but thanks for all your replies and I'll promise to finish my next ride.
