Remus B&M Hyper [NL]

[TheArchitect]

Remus is a B&M Hyper that i'm currently building entirely by hand, it's got hints of traditional B&M style with a few of my own traits.

The station system is one i've used before on my rides because it's incredibly efficient when it comes to running multiple trains at the same time. For example Remus can run 6 trains without any delays; you literally wont be held on any blocks, except for maybe the final one before the exit platform which will only be for 1-2 seconds. It could handle 8 trains, but you may sit on the skid for a couple secs then the switch track for about 10 secs.

Here's a link if you want to know why I called it Remus:

The ride will have a rough concrete/rocky/romanesque feel to it and will be fully 3D'd.

I've been making this for a month already, and will be working on it for another week or two yet. Here is a couple pics:

Looking at the most action packed part of the ride:


Lift and return back to station:


I'm going to need at least one tester, someone reliable who won't post any spoilers on here. Any volunteers? Just leave your email. If I don't email you it's nothing personal...

P.S. I want a Tester! Please leave your email.

I'd love to test, this looks great. Plus, college doesn't start for another 3 weeks, so I'm bored out of my mind.

Example of the station looking from inside the roof:


Transition from exit platform to loading platform, which is a block. You can also see over above the circular plaza which is part of the queue line:

What spoiler? The tunnel under ground is just a normal tunnel isn't it?

[TheArchitect]

that will be all 3D'd up soon, will be a cave area or just a massive rocky chunk of the ground missing. I've got to be careful with structural integrity because the lift supports go partly over it.

Sent it to you Boneplaya, cheers! Look forward to your email back.

Thanks Boneplaya for testing, good report. I do want another tester to get a second opinion. Anyone fancy testing?

I would might be interested to test,I really like the idea of a roman theming,that idea is not so overused...
But I have some questions:
1.When it has a roman theming,so why is it called Remus?I know the story of romes twin founders and Romulus killed Remus,shouldn't it be called Romuls?
2.Could I PM you my feedback?
3.Will you mention us(me and boneplaya)when you're uploading the track?
Here's my email: lampert-sonia@bluewin.ch (I'm to lazy to make my own account)[sillyme][;)]

I'll give this a test. Coasterrider86 [at] gmail.com.

Station looks awesome. How was this built?

^Also, don't put your full email. You will get spammed. I almost made that mistake.

No problem! To all those out there waiting for the release: you are in for quite the treat once everything gets cleaned up [:D]

Will it have a black hole tunnel?

Sketchup, took hours upon hours! then transfered to Anim8or for a quick polish up.

Looks cool... can't wait!

to save peoples frame rates, probably yes.

and i havent sent it to anyone else yet, i'm trying to get element5 to send me NL on windows so that when it comes to submitting ill be able to have it packaged.

6 trains? Wow!

Have you tested the effect on capacity from using fewer?

Also, does this ride have multiple MCBRS?

-Belongs in Hard Hat Area till its uploaded-

[TheArchitect]

Mad Data have given me a link and code in order to be able to download NL on Windows, so i'll be continuing with this ride on windows NL so i'll be able to package it soon and let some others test it with objects included.

Sorry Real, next update I post i'll start a new thread in the Hard Hat Area, unless there is anyway of moving this topic.
