Intamin hyper -S:RoS

The story-

A design for an intamin hyper was being considered in 2001 for Six Flags St.Louis and was put off for a while because of Kingda ka. It ended up being forgotten up until now. Just about a year ago they found the files and are planning to pursue them. They decided that since both Darien's and SFNE's superman were taken out of the S:RoS chain, they would have another one in. They found someone to create the simulation and are in the process of creating it (me in this case). Because it is a design from a while back, it still includes some of the characteristics of an old Intamin.

The coaster so far-

*Completely done with fvds
*Drop is 70 degrees
*low to ground Helix
*-1.2/+4 gs in back
*overbank

I hope the prefabs are temporary.

^Definately. (i just cant handle a completely floating track)

Im not going to use one prefab in the entire ride.

Check out the page there's a new update with some photos. My trackwork is about 90% right now.

Looking at your last couple of uploads your improving a lot. Looks great and im lookin forward to this one.[approve]

Thank you! Well I'm really getting used FVDs. I've simply kept my hand building skills(ex:Demeter was hand built). I think my fvd work for this coaster I alot better than i expected it to turn out. Maybe you could test if you want. Do you?

sure!

Wow, I think this looks great...and it seems if you have nailed down a lot of the old-school techniques of the SROS coasters.

^Thanks! Don't expect a final coaster within the next week. The supports of old intamins are difficult.

^Yeah, they are a pain. It took me like 2 weeks just to do the Goliath/Titan style supports on my Giovalona

Kinda off-topic, but have you released that yet, Jake?

Yeah i was looking for it and couldn't find it!?

Check the page for a few more pics![:D]

What do you think?

I really like how this looks. I still approve of the trackwork (looks like thats all you've got pics of so far
) [approve]

I can't wait to see this coaster with all the correct supporting

^Thanks for supporting me on this, so howd the testing go?

Wow! This looks really nice! Very nice and realistic shaping. That last picture of the parabola just looks very... smooth. I don't know how you can use FVD at all. I sure can't! haha

Its sooooooooooooooo much easier than it looks. All you do is pretty much plug in how much g force you want and how long you want it. Same with banking. The other stuff is already there.

This looks really cool!
As many have said, looks just like intamin!

If you're not in a lot of hurry with this, and need testers, I'd be glad to give it a look, and report to you!

Not in a hurry at all. I want a complete, final product to share this time. Send me a pm and ill hand it over to ya.

Is this seriously going to Six FLags St. Louis? Because it is my home park... I hope we get an intamin!

Yeah it is (in my fake story). Still, you can get excited about it if you want!

Well on a brief note just so everyone can know, this track was imo, great!... I don't want to give anything away about this but it is good[approve]

I live near darien and have been on ROS about 25 times...

that looks great. It truly has the ROS feel.

I've tried many times and failed many times! I don't think i've been able to make a single element. Wait... One 0g roll that had like 15 lat G's. [V]

^Yeah well it took me the past two years for it to click so...
I have felt your pain. All that stuff you see in the formulas is so ugly. It makes it so confusing to people. I hope they remodel it somehow.

Yeah. I've just said screw it. Newton time! haha

I about did that too.
