"Silva Incendia" IntaMega - released

Damn... -1.7 is pretty high. Anyway you could get it to -1.5?

[Turbo]

^ probably, but i would have to trim it a little more.
oh well. Thanks for the input

Track: 100%
Terraforming: 95%
Theming: 40%
Supports: 50%

ya -1.7 is too high... do what ever you can to get it down to -1.5... I hate the fact that you may have to trim the ride, but oh well. I have to trim rides all the time...

[Turbo]

ok, I trimmed down the ride to a split 1.5
And the last partn of the ride is now slowed down
oh well, whatever to make it more realistic

--EDIT: new pics of lift(done)
The lift now has the full cable lift and full supports. see below:




FUN FACTS SEPTEMBER 13, 2009
1. First Mega built by Intamin AG since 2003.
2. Includes a unique terrain experience.
3. "Silva Incendia" means "Forest Fire" in Latin.

Oh god that makes me hot.

*Drools*

That lift looks absolutely phenomenal, Turbo!! I really can't wait to ride this. Looks like a great ride.

^Indeed. Those colors are really working out well [8D]

[Turbo]

Thanks for the comments. I need some advice for which supporting I should use. here is the sample pic:


thanks for commenting. The ride has a planned date for release:
October 6th, 2009 <-- my birthday

That would be great for the turn, great head choppers at high speed.

That looks fine to me. If you could put a cross beam on the support that you are tunnel testing, it would add yet another headchopper.

[Turbo]

^I know. I just needed to know what you pplz thought.

Track: 100%
supports: 50%
theming: 70%

Why don't you make normal supports on the inside of the turn instead of goofy ones on the outside? yeah it kills off some headchoppers but it'll look more realistic.

Yea my only concern was those wouldnt be like that if this ride were really built. You can tell the supports are stretched out just for that effect. Just seems...like youve tried too hard to get that effect.

[Turbo]

Is this better?

Those look 100 times more realistic and more feasible. Doesnt look like youre trying to do something crazy. If you wanted the ride to interact with supports you gotta plan that out from the beginning. ;)

To everyone who has been following this project:
The release date has been pushed back to October 30th...

EDIT (10-11-09):
Here is the third to last pic I post before the release. I need to know if this looks realistic. To me it is about 60/40, but I need to know to continue. thanks

I wouldn't add the extra vertical beam on the rightmost support in the foreground if I were you. It seems with the last 2 supports you tried too hard to create headchoppers, and that comes off as unrealistic to me. What I do wherever possible is try to find the most similar element on the same style ride and use those supports as reference. I think that technique would work well for you.

I took that out, thanks for the help.

I finished a lot of supporting. here's a sneak peek:




I AM SORRY TO EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN FOLLOWING THIS PROJECT, BUT THIS COASTERS RELEASE DATE HAS BEEN PUT ON 'TBA'. I simply rushed myself and could not finish my ride by my goal date. I am sorry for the inconveniance. I WILL UPDATE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE...

-----------------------------------------------------------------


UPDATE: November 13th, 2009
I have no set release date yet, but I am going for the end of 2009. I'll keep you all posted. In current news, the ride has made much much progress with supporting and theming. I have asked a few people for help and the ride is coming along great. There is only one problem for now, which I need opinions on. I was making supports and I was trying a few things out when I came acrossed this little headchopper. I am not sure if it would work, but it goes through the tunnel and seems that the passengers have no way of support-slapping. PLEASE tell me what you think so I may continue building. Thanks for reading:

That's fine. As long as the supports are under the car track it's not a problem.

That looks safe.

Expect this done by june

I had a serious brain block and i am now over it. i have found a station that seems to fit (and is now done) and the supports are near completion. the rest is ride extras.

NEW PICS MAY 9th

that lift hill against the background looks sexy as hell.

Terraforming?Lakes?Rivers?Waterfalls?Mountains?

[Turbo]

^You'll find out in june

EDIT: I need help with a suitable environment for Silva Incendia. If anyone is good with making environments, i need some help.
(OR if someone knows how to get in contact with buster please tell me. Buster made an environment that would be perfest for the ride.)

Thank you to all who have tested and helped with the ride and thank you all who have followed this thread.
