So Jensenator and I spent most of yesterday (feb 4th) designing an amazing new X car in NL. Jensen has credit for most of the layout, except the last turn and brakes. I built most of it using fvd's. Anyways, moving on. We decided to design an x car, that in my opinion is very similar to an intamin rocket coaster, but with its own X car personality. Meaning, short and sweet, extremly forceful, fast, and different from anything else in its class. This x car is bigger than most, standing at 188 ft. I'll just name off some stats for the coaster.



Stats:
Height: 188ft
Speed: 79 mph
Inversions: 2
Launch speed: 35mph
Angle of accent: 98 degrees
Angle of decent: 136 degrees

Elements:
A unique 98 degree upward launch.
A 136 degree hangtime section.
A 50+ mph zero g roll.
2 overbank turns.
Massive Floater hill.

This coaster will be a beast, and it will rule over the world of x cars.

This is looking quite cool!
I made a gazillion Xcars with a hangtime section like this! Not to mention other types of coasters... lol
Anyway, as you can see I'm a total fan of that, so keep it up!

Oh, and I can test if you want me to!

Hehee, getting quite ahead of ourselves are weee? Looks pretty cool. Can't see much other than that launch which to be honest I'm sure more than half the designers of this site have already imagined building hahaha. Let's see some more pictures!

Looks cool so far. But the over 90????????? shoot isn't unique.[;)] I've build one 2 month's ago but it's a very cool element I think. Especially the hangtime on the top. [:D]
Yo, and I hope you and Jensenator will end this project and upload it for us, because X-Cars are really cool.[8D]

^ Gert, don't spoil my false assumptions.... lol, and vid, yes you can test. lemme know on aim. Punkboy, the 98 degree launch is only part of a new and unique element. (slightly different than anything thats been done already)

Supports are very close to completion, i ended up doing all of them myself due to Jensen's recent coaster withdrawal. It would appear that he has lost all interest in our design, so I'm claiming it as mine now. Like i said, supports are almost done, and i'll have this beast up by next week folks.

Loop? what loop? this ride has no loop. Are you referring to the hangtime element?

Uhm, Mike obviously he's referring to it. No one wants to type Hangtime Element when it's just a variation of a loop.

The point is, it is a loop. It loops the way a loop does, just with different shaping and a launch to begin it.

Apparently you didn't get the "i don't care" hint stated in previous replies. I'm not stupid.

oh, sweet jesus, the "hangtime element(you're a douchebag)" looks quite drawn out, are you sure it doesn't take too long to navigate?

Awwww man. I thought it was going to be more of a 'floating hangtime' element so it's more comfortable and gives a better feeling of falling...bummer...
