Echo Canyon dj-dj

The world?????????s slowest builder returns. I'm still busy with Kruger Safari though. There was a great underestimation with how all those polygons will affect frame rates. Fortunately for me, I get a minimum of 30 fps with all those meshes but that's with an 8800 GT and would rather not upload until I can get that higher a bit. Or I'm going to leave the 3ds entirely.

But here?????????s a Coaster I got preoccupied with as well. There is still a shiz load of support work to be done and I'm going my own way with this one for a while. The whole Idea was to make it feel and look GGish but also very unique at some parts. Not to mention????????? it's huge, 1608m of huge. I'm exceptionally happy with how the pacing turned out and also adjusted the landscape in such a way that it seems a bit unreal to end at that speed still. The structure itself is also a bit different than a usual GG, more diagonal supports are getting added to make it seem a bit fuller but still not over supported.

Echo:








Some supports here still needs to be colored.


Large helix. Not to worry Coasterkidmwm it doesn't pull 4 g?????????s for 10 seconds, more like 3g?????????s for 4.5s

Wow that's a forest of steel and wood o_o.

Looking forward to this one, and I'm still looking forward to Kruger Safari.

Wow! That looks great. That first drop looks a bit awkward though.

Are there going to be any lateral?

^^ I'm liking the first drop. As long as there's air, it's fine with me

Lats on every turn in the proper direction. Max lateral force on this goes up to 0.8 G's.

^ Eh in that case it's a newton ride, isn't it?

Lets not jump to conlusions and rather just say I need a tester...

I wouldn't mind.

Thanks. Sent you a PM.

[Turbo]

me too. I'll send you a followup on monday since i am out of town...

Alright. I got it. I'll send you a review in a bit.

Thanks.

Hope you support the crossovers.

Shall do so. Just lazy today...

Ill test also.

Great I think 3 testers should cut it. Already got a decent review from griffonluv. Thanks a million.

Eh. The 7th picture down doesn't look good, man. That's a really newton-y/FVD-y kind of transition and it doesn't look good on wood.

And .8 lats...what a boring GGish woodie But regardless, it looks pretty fun.

I really don't understand what the issue is with that particular transition I've never actually seen a GG ride going from that banking straight into a 90 deg banked turn I might add. Not to mention it flings through that at 81 km/h. And whether some transitions look too exact?

I prefer to make it look a bit more perfect than the usual NL rides we get these days.

I Also noticed some transitions going up to 1.2G lat after yesterday but IMO 0.8G is a serious force to the side. 1G will have the same effect of physically lying against the side of a train at 90 deg. Maybe I still need to ride one before trying to build something similar. I might be a bit inexperienced.

i think it looks fine. Gerty is probably the pickiest person on the sight imo, and i'm sure most of the things he says are true, but i think the transition is fine.

no problem man. im glad to help.

^^Easy, turbo.

^^^Woah man it's not a huge deal. All I was implying is that it looks more as a steel transition than it does a wood. To me it doesn't fit. If it's fine to you, then it's fine.

After a long time of considering whether I should or shouldn?????????t continue with this coaster due to banking issues mentioned I decided F#$ it let me just finish this it and get it over with. It's not like I have a massive amount of coasters on here in the first place.

Renamed it to Echo Canyon and started working?????????

Not sure if you want to change it, but on the turnaround right there ^, box supports would look better and more realistic imo. I'm glad you're finishing this though [:)] It has potential.

More like this?
