Intimidator - Carowinds - 7 NEWW SIMULATION PICS!!

^^ Not at all good you mean.

omfg567, it was okay, I'm striving for at least 85-95% correctiveness.

A113, thank you for the picture, that helps a lot, thank you! Well.. Track work is still coming a long.. It's a long process, but I'm about done.

Support work will be done. I'm not too sure how I'll design the car texture though.

That picture you sent me, A113: Due to its angle, its a little tricky, but I need your opinion.. It still needs a little more adjusting?

Meanwhile.. I'm working on the last bits and pieces of smoothing the track out, working on the breaking supports, and fixing up the turn around into the station. Pictures will be up soon.

Why are you using prefabs?

Those are only temporary, I'm going to re-support the entire structure, but for right now I'm using prefabs to get an idea for supports later on. If you don't mind, how does the lift look?

Also.. If anyone has object creator and a lift motor can you please send it to me? I'm planning on making the que, transfer, and station if I can get it.

I still need to make the car texture and the chain-link fence, but I don't know how to do either..

Thank you.

Completed lift hill with the supports. How does it look? I'll post more later, but there's more support work to be done. Smoothing is 90% done.

Here is some tips for Realistic Intimidator Machines (Do this Step Last,Before Final Test~??????????????????and Be sure to pass the E stop Test)

I'll be sure to keep that in mind, thank you, but may I ask how did you do that?

Supports are still going up daily, runs very well from what I can see

Just play around with the lengths of each segment until you have the right amount of brake devices in each. To have just lims, take a brake segment, set it to activate when the front car reaches the segment beginning, turn on LIM transports, and hide the brake device.

Some of those supports look wayy to close together- I'd make sure you are copying spacing from pictures directly.

Oh okay, I understand now, thank you. I may need some help on it later when I get to it, if you don't mind haha. But do that last though?

Where at? Second hill? If so, I know what you mean. I've been adjusting some of the footers down on the ground to not be so close together, but its a tad difficult looking at an aerial shot from the renderings.

[slosprint]

Yeah, do the brakes part last.

Already, thank you. Does it everything else look okay, Slosprint? I realize that the supports look a bit too close together on the second hill.

Everything else looks amazing for a handbuilt coaster.

I made the speed limit(clamps)to 200kph ,and made LIM speed limit for 45kph on MCBR

Looks pretty good so far. This is kinda off topic but does anyone know if the Intimidator at Carowinds has a single rider line? and what about the one at KD?

I know 305 does.

Ok...cuz next month I'll b in Florida and since I'm driving home with my dad we were gonna stop by both Carowinds and KD...never been the Carowinds but we've been to KD a few times so we'd basically just do I305 Volcano and maybe Dominator so we could get home but we are trying to gauge how much time we are gonna wait in line.

Update coming soon. I'm pretty down about our defeat in the world cup just an hour ago, but supports will still be going up. I'm doing the third hill going into the hammerhead turnaround.

Slosprint: Thank you, I really appreciate that! I'm trying my best to try to get it exactly as accurate as I can, I just gotta get the object creator soon though.

hzgarfield: Thank you, I'll keep those speeds in mind. Thanks!

dmillz: Yes, Intimidator at Carowinds and I305 at Kings Dominion has a single rider line. Granted, I saw that they made the single rider line into a front row line last time I saw it. But they were running the single rider line on the I305 very quickly.

But at Carowinds.. They do in fact have one and it moves very well, well.. Sometimes.. I was there two weeks ago and opening day, but both times the line was moving fast enough I didn't have to get in the single rider line.

Ok...that's a big help. I from around Dorney and we are in Florida for my sister's softball team for the World Series at Disney and my dad and I volunteered to drive the equipment down to save on money for flying. Plus we figured we could stop by both parks on the way home, but we are gonna be pressed for time so we wanna try and cut down time wherever we can.

Totally understand where you're coming from, dmillz, well.. That's really awesome your sister's softball team was able to go to the World Series at Disney as well as your dad and you are making it to both parks on the way home..

Well.. Just a little word of advice.. At Carowinds.. If the line for the single riders is longer than where the sign "Start Your Engines" or something like that.. Go in the regular line.. The regular line moves very well and speedy.

KD and I305.. I was there last spring break, so I can't really give you an update on the new line segments, but I know that the line is no longer than 30 minutes. They only have two trains, but by the time one finishes its cycle and break run the train in the station is ready to leave or has already left.

When I was at KD for Spring Break.. They were letting people in the single riders line in first before the people who waited for 30 mins, but I know they've changed it..

Hope it was a little helpful.

Absolutely...we will be hitting those at the end of July cuz we are in Disney for about the last 10 days of July, so I wanted to get a head start on what we need to do...but certainly very helpful so thanks bunch!

Back on topic...how's the recreation looking?

Ooooh, I never knew Intimidator also had stadium style seating. All the new B&M's are using it now. Anyways back on topic this is looking great so far. But it does look like you have the supports to close to each other in some areas.

dmillz: Sweet, the summer crowds shouldn't be as bad the last ten days of July so that's a pretty good time to go.. Spring Break wasn't all that crowded, but with it being early in the season.. It was still kinking out the opening day problems. Oh, by the way.. Some days I305 runs only one train, but most of the time they run two. Usually late or early in the day they'll only have one, then take the other off the transfer.

My pleasure! Glad to help, if you have any other questions, I'd be glad to answer them.

Recreation is looking pretty good. Overall, I've been trying to think of ways to design the station, transfer, and chain dock.. However.. Supports are going up on the third hill right now entering the hammerhead.

KentuckyFTW: Yeah - Ever since Behemoth at Canada's Wonderland was put in Cedar Fair has incorporated two others with the same train style: It adds more to fun and they're easier to load rather than the four across.

Thank you! Yeah, I know.. I've gotten a lot of reports that I have supports too close together, where exactly do you see that I need to adjust?
