Coca Cola Plunge

Hey guys, its been a while since i've posted a hard hat area topic, not because i havent been building coasters, but just because i havent been building any without restriction.

Anyway, this project is likely to be a slow moving one, due to the NL tournament and my exams, but you will eventually see an upload after my exams and in the summer holidays.

I will make it clear that this ride obviously has NOTHING to do with the Coca Cola Company, it is just a tribute to it. I wanted to make a ride with a soft drink in its name like:
-Irn Bru Revolution
-Traumatizer
-Pepsi Max Big One

And here is is, my dive machine in its earliest stages:

Nice drop, and probably some high g's at the bottom, looks cool! [:)]

[gouldy]

It's amusing that all 3 of the mentioned rides are now at the same park heh.

yeah alton. please theme it to fit in with balcpool pleasure beach as all the other coasters you named are there.

looking good BTW

Or you could change it slightly and have any food/drink sponsor! Fantasy Island have KIT KAT Jubilee Odyssey! hehehehe

I'm going call it the Pepsi Plunge so that I can live in my little distorted "everyone likes Pepsi!" world.

Very nice looking. I like the HUGE immelmann loop.

Yay a dive machine! You don't see to many of those on the exhange, which is too bad cause I really like them. And I know this won't dissapoint. So far it's looking pretty good, I'm looking forward to what comes next.

OK guys, its been a while as this topic was locked for a while.

This coaster has pretty much become on hold until after my exams, however there is still some work on it that hasnt been shown here.

I got quite far into the layout:

but then decided the dive loop wasnt shaped right. (according to the peeps at CS.com, i do agree with them though)

So i reshaped it:

http://www.nolimitsdevcenter.net/i37411

I will finish this coaster, probably in the summer.

in the summer, have you been outside inbetween studying alton, its blistering hot. perfect summer weather lol

looks great and the reshaping of the dive loop does look more like a drop coaster one

Hmm looks fun, can't say I have ever seen a dive machine with a loop.

{cough} Black Halo {cough}

And besides, i see no problem with a loop, minimal lats and if the clearance is ok, why not?

New layout idea:

That looks great! I really hope you will include the loop, and maybe an airhill? That would be even better!

Looking good alton. Um, since there is so many segments, did you use the AHG?

Can't wait for this release.

Yer ahg.

Anyway, even if i do have a huge helix of doom, it will not be that exact helix of doom because i forgot to save the formula!

I cannot believe it, i ALWAYS save them, grrrrrr

It's good i am at least working on this ride, it will get done, i can feel it I may even get Mikado to do the 3d catwalks for me.

Looking good. I like the helix. Its different and original

I think i like this idea better, the helix can come later.

I agree.

Now that first half is IMO too short and nothing that stands out. When you break a ride up with MCB's each section better have a balance too it. If you now end the ride with another 90 degree drop, helix and other stuff that first half suddenly has no meaning.

Griffon - drop, immelmann, immediate MCBR, Drop, immelmann, water splash.
Coca Cola Plunge - drop, dive loop, immediate MCBR, drop, loop, helix.

Problem? I don't see why.

Layout *nearly* done

I got this far:

But it has a collision near the end.

Looks good man, I'm glad someone is making a diver. Don't see too many and I really like them, and yours is looking awesome IMO. Nice theme idea too, haha.

Yes Pat, I'd like to buy a left turn...

(hope you all have Wheel of Fortune in England lol)

The ride ends WAY too soon. Put in a double helix of death and another drop in there to use up some of that speed.
