Junlge Jim - POSTED!!!

Well I have been working on the supports for my new ride and listening to The Flashbulb(Benn Jordan) all night since I can't sleep and this is what I have so far. A couple teaser shots of my ride clearing tunnel testing!!! [:D]

Let me know what your opinions are on what you see, and a couple testers are welcome if interested!!!





Talk to me people!

[Turbo]

hmmmmm, i wonder what it could be

Haha, sarcasm much???

Nothing interesting so far.

...continue.

The support corners are not connected right.

^ looks like the old gerty is back... the old "lets be a little cocky dick about everything for no apparent reason" gerty... lol, believe it or not i kinda miss that.

Ok, I fixed the supports, cleaned them up a bit. And I'm still open for some people to test if they are interested.

always on AIM. Hit me up.

He just posted an interesting shot, and I don't see why it couldn't have been on there in the first place seeing as it's only a couple of hours later... but I guess if being a jerk is your thing go ahead.

Nah, it's all cool. I thought maybe the tunnel thing would have sparked some interest, but it was just a stupid idea. That's why I have the new one up.

Now that a new picture is up, what do you people think? How does it look?

looks like auto flanger will make this thing gorgeous...

Ok, simple question. Do these supports look alright? I haven't supported a steel coaster in like a year or two, lol.

as long as they are flanged in the end they look fine

Ummmm...this turn entry looks awkward...

Is it?

^ i've seen the ride personally, and no its not awkward. its just the angle of the pic. it looks like a typical intamin transition

[Brtnboarder495]

That's too funny - I had a ride that looked just like that in the planning stages. Recycled it though.

Looking good.

Oh yeah Tidus, It's the angle of the picture. It's just a fast drop transition, but i don't think it's anything to worry about. I could post a picture of that turn if anyone's interested at seeing it from another angle?

And it seems like there have been quite a few rides like this lately Brtnboadrder, lol. But thanks, I hope you enjoy it when I post Sunday!

And thanks Mike for your opinion on the supports.

EDIT: Flanged and pretty!!! What do you all think? I know there are some flanges to be adjusted.

I think that looks like hotness. But may I say that the bottom horizontal supports on the main structure look a tad bit thin? Maybe it's just me.

[Brtnboarder495]

Looks nice, but you may lose points for over-trying on the head choppers. Are all of those supports actually needed?

I think that the nice boxy support srtucture is very cool looking and original. I also love those colors!

^ actually brtnboarder, that huge structure is needed. there is alot of track. Three cross-unders, and this structure seems to fit the bill. I was at his house when he was working with this structure, and believe it or not, the headchoppers weren't put there on purpose. That's just how it turned out. The bottom supports are thin so they clear i think. i'm not 100% sure.

[Brtnboarder495]

Hey, I'm all for head-choppers and such, but I know some designers on these forums find forced head-choppers a reason to downrate for.

Ya they do, but these weren't forced. the structure was built simply to hold up the track. The head choppers weren't intended. they were just kinda "there" after he built the structure.

Yeah brtnboarder, Those head choppers aren't put there on purpose. Yeah I might have been able to support all that differently, but that's the thing, I wanted to make it a bit different overall. So if you down rate for "purposely making head choppers", you are just going to start another Baron argument. They weren't on purpose and I spent forever trying to find support structure that would fit there.

But thank A7X and FIN! As for the lower level supports seeming to be thin, I have the may levels and outsides or the structure built with size 3 supports, and then some of the inside supports are 2's. Some of them to clear, some of them cause I figured it was the inside of the structure. But I thought it didn't look too bad?


EDIT: Yeah, it's up. Enjoy and rate if possible! Thanks!
