From Jet coasters over to wooden classics.

I am making a R&R Cycle coaster inspired by this one. http://www.rcdb.com/ig3017.htm

make something more filling than japan coasters plzzzzzz

I found the translation of Mozzu is Butcher Bird, so the coaster name is Cycle Coaster Butcher Bird. Hows that for a really screwed up name.

Why not go the whole hog and just call it "Child Murder Rape Barry", because then the name will totally match the intenseness of the ride

I'll rather watch bonsais grow.

Not to be mean. But this looks extremely boring.

^ That is much better, do more stuff like that, man! In fact, that looks pretty good.

What are you talking about that first one is the best. Actually I agree with gouldy that last one looks good. Does it ride like it looks?

Yes it is a little bit pumpy but its fine for a old classic wooden coaster. They aren't usually the smoothest. I used the auto smoother and split up the track segments a bunch and Ctrl Ged it.

Heres a very sexy shot. I've started custom batter bracing.

Are my eyes deceiving me? Cool5 is actually making something that's worth the download.

The lift custom supporting is done.

Time to change the topic name.

Wow. That doesn't look half bad.

I love to pop my jaw while I build this custom batter bracing.

... better than a jet coaster

^^ ...wtf?

It looks a little big and long for a classic, but at least it does something. I also find classics a lot smoother than a lot of current woodies (Cannonball at Lake Winnie is sooo smooth).

Lie the supports on top like this-

It would look really realistic and neat! I discovered the trick on rcdb and when i used it it looked amazing.

P.S.-Sorry only picture i had now that nldc is down.

No advertising intended!

What do you mean when you lie the supports on top? Do you mean like this?

SOrry, bad wording!

Notice that the supports connecting diagonally from the track to the ground have planks that are lied horizontaly across them, instead of through them.

Also seen here-

I could but I would be hard to get the right angle for the horizontal supports and get it looking good. Should I send the track to you and you could find the exact angle so that I can angle the supports at that angle?

Its so easy, just do (-)70 or (-)60 and it looks fine! If its less steep than above than its 60. If its the same its about 70 (which would be yours). All you do is ctrl and select all of the ones on that support structure. Then you double click on one of them, and put 70 or -70 in for the angle.

Ill do some if you want, then you can do the rest modeling after mine.
