The Boneyard: Testers needed

[Metazoanhaddock]

so i've been working on this ride a while, and i've gotten to the point where i am pretty satisfied with the ride, but somehow feel it's unfinished, so, i would like your input on it.

here are a few pics.









comments, questions, suggestions?

people have poop to do. be patient.

It looks good, i like the tunneling. I sure hope that zero-g roll dosent hurt. Just because its heartlined dosent mean its gonna coast smoothly.
Im sensing a stand-up version of the hulk, no?

Is it Newton2?

He waited several days.

I like the ride i think its good.

[Metazoanhaddock]

yeah, it was made using Newton 2....and everything is pretty smooth...
i wouldn't call it a stand up version of the hulk....mainly because it uses a chain lift...but all that aside, i still have a lot of work to do on it....these improvements range from a new station to custom catwalks

Update: i have just now finished the support work and i am now moving on to the main 3d's

[Metazoanhaddock]

Update: i have now finished the basic shape of the new station and in my opinion, it is MUCH better than the older one.
Here are some pics:



nad here is a picture of where the end of the track passes "through" the station:

and here is the primitive generator:

Maybe change this to an electric motor? I doubt alot of B&M's use a V6 to power the chain lift.

The old one looked more station-like. The new one just looks like it's a piece of scenery around the MCBR; people can't really get to it too easily as you have it now, plus there are no gates or anything of the kind. Other than that, the tunnels look absolutely FANTASTIC; I love the serpent one(s?). Also, the V6 generator looks pretty snazzy. Maybe you can make it with 3ds to make it even better?

[Metazoanhaddock]

Lol...I know...right now its temporary until i make a 3d electric motor. At that point I'll replace this piece of poop with the, what will hopefully be better, 3d object

I'm also still working on the station...as of right now I only have my basic shape for the station...I'm planning on adding stairs, gates, walls, etc. tomorrow or Sunday, depending on how much i feel like working[:p]

Ah, ok. I thought you mentioned that you had finished the new station... Well good luck with it all!

Make it green and purple with orange trains!!!

But seriously, it looks great!

no...its ok...I'm at fault for my wording...im going to edit my previous post as to not confuse others...

http://www.rcdb.com/2236.htm?p=17449 You could make a long tunnel like that one.

...

I'm a bit iffy about the barrel roll..

[Metazoanhaddock]

not to be impolite, but may i ask why?

Edit: I just finished the station completely and im pretty happy with how it turned out...lemme know what you think

Well the station actually looks realistic now with the stairs, I wasn't sure what you were going for at first.
On the other hand, who on EARTH wants to walk up all that retarded poop.
Make like, an escalator or something Also... The transfer is slightly idiotic going uphill into the station, it is just entirely unrealistic and a waste of money. Other than that it looks fairly solid, I think I see use of the ASG in certain places, and I think you should go back and edit those supports. Looking forward to the release whenever it is!

Hmmmm... that actually looks pretty cool... nowhere near as cool as this one, though

^epic....and @ lewis13...i edited most of the asg supports and fashioned most of mine after them... so they're pretty indistinguishable....and the only reason i originally used asg was because this wasn't supposed to become such a big project >.>

I tested it. the barrel roll seems to fit in well.

I don't care much for the stairs either, but people do routinely walk up 60+ feet of stairs for those old Arrow shuttles and larger water rides, so it's not completely without base.

[Metazoanhaddock]

im moving on to the new transfer shed and mechanisms (as the ones i have right now are temporary and suck anyways) and i was wondering if anybody had any textures that might help me? it would be greatly appreciated

Edit: i have now finished the transfer shed and mechanism and i will post pics tomorrow..i am moving on to the catwalks which might take a few days

Yeah, but people whine about inverts without barrelrolls in them, imagine how much they would whine of standups had barrelrolls? Especially high speed ones...

[slosprint]

it isn't taken at high speeds.
