Wow, it's been ages that I've touched Scream Machines but I hope to make a difference on that. I'm currently working on the lateral bracing of the new ride that I'm working on.

A few stats:
Top speed: 54mph
Length: 2530ft
Max Lateral: 1.3g
Max Negative: -1g
Max Positive: 3.6g



Comments are always welcome [:)]

Woodies are awesome in SM. If you didn't notice, the 3 seat "classic" car has buzz bars =D

I noticed, but the 3 seater didn't really fit this ride imo. [:)]

I want to get SM,anyway it looks very nice...

Small update, I finished some more Lateral Bracing:

mmmmmmm.....sexy. Make sure you make a video and post it to youtube so us non-SMers can ride it, too!

I think I'll get SM...

[Dirk_Ermen]

Video will be made when I finished it. For now, another lateral bracing update:



One more turn and than all lateral bracing should have been placed [:)]

Oh yeah, I figured out what does the automatic bracing: Off to the left, when you click on a segment, it says "fan", "left, right or both". This is applied when you build a scaffolding.

I know. But the bracing plus auto collision detection doesn't really like eachother. Even without bracing and collision detection on, it takes down structures that you can't even touch with the edge of the footers... So yeah, one of the reasons why I'm building the structure manually. [:)]

Does that take long?^

A little longer than No Limits. so yeah, it can take very long. Depending on how complicated you want it...

Final bracing update [:)]


Overal view over the ride:




Edit:
Trees have been placed, changed theme and gave the track a little different color. Opinions?

Everything nicely packed between some trees.

That's looking good! Will you be making a video?

The old or the new one?

If you say which one. I can give you the exact color numbers

Oh that looks so gorgeous!

I have to say the old one. Cherry Wood probably wouldn't be useful for a coaster.

Wow, good to here more people getting SM. Havn't seen many wooden coasters on SM with custom lateral bracing. Nice work BTW this had to take you a while. I've always wanted to do a SM woodie with lateral braces but it takes me forever.

Okay, here we go:
Red: 94
Green: 73
Blue: 47


I've changed the color back to the old one. The new one didn't look as good as the old one eventually.



I'll be uploading it after the weekend. [:)] At that time I should have a video ready for you guys too.

[Dirk_Ermen]

Meh... Too little time for making the video, but don't worry. That's on it's way!

In the meantime for all Scream Machines users. It's uploaded on the exchange: Click Here to view the ride.
