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:

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:
http://www.nolimitsdevcenter.net/i37238
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/i37410
http://www.nolimitsdevcenter.net/i37411

I will finish this coaster, probably in the summer.

{cough} Black Halo {cough}

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

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 :D I may even get Mikado to do the 3d catwalks for me.

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.

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.

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.

Next
