Fear Itself (formerly Taurus)- Teaser Video Pg 1

Thanks, i'm flattered you think my drop is sexy [:)]

Anyway, i thought you guys may want to see the color sceme and first drop in the simulator, so here it is!

Since your coasters drop generally gets steeper faster than the Intimidators, and then starts to rise earlier, I think you should move the 3rd support higher so it supports the track starting at the same angle that the Intimidator does.

The supports look hawt, but you might want to change the track color. That shade of blue dosent really work well with anything when your trying to contrast it.

ya i agree with the color blue and orange is good i love blue and orange together but i think the blue should be more dark, but other thank that the drop should be breath taking!

The lift hill should have a thick truss underneath (seen on I305) if you want to support it like that.

Oh my god. I don't care if Intamin uses supports like that on I305's lift hill, they look ridiculous. I strongly advise switching to MF style supports.

I'm pretty sure the "new" style supports are MUCH less expensive. They don't look as nice, but they're supports.

Well, seeing as they are a new style, we don't really know the limits to the what the supports can hold. So maybe it would more than safe to say you do a little research.

Some people care about looks, but I care about safety....at least it's more important.

Well, Griffonluv, i do have a thick truss/spine, but i did it a bit differently then I305's. Theres a pic in the 1st post.

Im pretty confident the support would hold up, but its a "next generation" design plan, so basically im making it to what may be available and possible in the near future.

Man, i think this looks awesome. Its nice to see innovative stuff being uploaded. As for making the lift steeper to conserve space, i totally agree. I think if intamin was challenged into making something this tall with limited space, they would have done the same thing. I can understand if someone calls something like a b&m unrealistic, cuz that company is so set in there ways. they have a couple neat designes, and they rarely shift from that style. Intamin on the other hand, they come up with some new and crazy idea every time they build something... So its really difficult to call an intamin "unrealistic". Either way, i love the colors, and i think this coaster is comming along great. Do you have plans to ahg it or anything?

What made you consider genocide as a name for a roller coaster?

Well, tmv, i would AHG it if i knew how the hell to work AHG. I have no understanding of how to work it. If someone would like to tell me how, i will AHG it.

PM me, i'll tell you everything you need to know. its simple once you get the hang of it.

Thanks pm'd you.

So, still looking for testers...

I must say, this looks amazing.

Granted thoough its a new way to make things.

I agree, this is original and not Unrealistic
this is perfectly withing physics limits.

I must say that I think the support halfway down the lift hill should be a little closer to the station and farther from the crest. thought you need to have a bigger truss. the one have just ain't cuttin it.

I agree about adding a truss under the apex of the lift hill. Just the box spine alone would hold up with a 3 ton train under it,even more so because its not supported for that length of track.
Id like to test for you also.

I am planing to do some sort of truss/ spine on the apex, but i havent figured out my method yet.

Dude if you take on an extra 70 feet in height you have to have another support. Yes I know what Intimidator looks like, but Intimidator is 70ft shorter than yours.

Yes, but since the lift hill is so steep, i really dont think i need it. Although its not the lift, think of a dive coaster drop. They really have no supports due to the supportiveness of the spine. I think with the gauge of spine i have it should support itself very well the way it is.

^ i agree
