Kumba inspired project needs a name

As usual, I'm making another B&M style sit-down that's not following B&M standards. This one, however, is inspired by Kumba and has a similar drop into the loop. I'm currently supporting the lift with the B&M track connectors from L Bosch's object set, and I don't expect this to be finished for a few weeks anyway.

Vertical forces +3.8/-0.1
Lateral +/- 0.5~1.0
Speed ~50-60 MPH
Height 135 feet
Length 3143 feet








Supports on one side of the loop, and the big supports for the zero-g.






A couple supports from the station and one on the lift.

Hmmm. Will it be something demon themed?
The layout looks really cool. Is that an inclined dive loop in the third screen?
The red looks slightly too bright IMO.

It's not supposed to be an inclined dive loop, but I suppose it kind of does that. It's just supposed to be a turn around, to be honest.

I'm not really planning on a demon theme, but that could work. I don't have Sketchup, so I don't plan on making any objects on my own. I have AutoCAD, so that might work for a few things. On that red color, I'll probably tone it down to look more "flat" with the black. It's just a temporary color right now.

Not a fan of the supports on the zero-g-roll.

Where can I get those track/support connectors?

Edit: I looked more closely at the picture. It's not an inclined dive loop, SkyArrow, it really is a turn around.

I think the name should be Alan.

That was an Atlantis themed Intamin. That's on my other computer. The one that needs a new motherboard.



Edit: Anyone want to test this? I need someone that can help build a station, because the track intersects the default station. I have an idea for how it should look.

Laying the ground work for the station. Yes, the hammerhead element goes through the station, yes, it's been tunnel tested. No, I won't be keeping the 3ds catwalk there, it's just a place holder for now.




Edit:



The station is pretty much done. Just need to add some color to it, and a couple of other things.


Edit 2:

Station is done!

Fly by above the station lol? Man I feel sorry for the guests who would want to ride this.

Lift and drop supports are done. The two main supports on the loop are done, too. I toned down the red color to look more "flat" with the black. Any ideas for a name?





Edit:

Here's some screenshots of inversion shaping.

Loop

Your second halves are always so bland looking. Like you put your efforts to everything before the mcbr and then screw it after. If coming up with a post mcbr section is difficult, I would recommend not using one. I can think of one great B&M and one decent one without one. both in the same park

Those loop supports are too high up.

^^Talon and Hydra?

yes, exactly

Im assuming Hydra is the great one..

Supports are coming along nicely. I had to get a little creative in a few spots to avoid a tunnel fail.

Not really, just a little bit of online research and mimic the B&M supporting. It takes a little longer but with far better results. Right now, and as mentioned from others, loop support and zero g supports are rather awful looking to me. Even the lift supports don't seem to be in the right positions. It's an interesting layout and looks fun. Curious as to why it's a 6 car train instead 8? Makes the station look funny to me.

Remember this is just constructive criticism. Not trying to hark on you.

How do I fix this?

You need to connect the supports to a different node.

Supports are almost done! Expect an upload today or tomorrow.

Onjin: I would go with real world examples, but I only have certain track connectors. B&M can make a connector that fits the exact angles that they need. I have to use what I have. Therefore, creativity.


Edit: It's done. http://www.coastercrazy.com/track_exchange/detail/19544
