Terrain Intamin Prefab (special track)- New update

^I'm actually very excited for it! Keep up the good work!

Ah, see that's your mistake. Unfortunately, I think those cars pace correctly with maybe 3 and improved friction on, but when you try to emulate an Intamin woodie using a 5-6 car train, improved friction is WAYYY too fast, pacing almost like it completely lacks friction. I tested a 6 car train with IF off using my El Toro recreation, and it hit the brakes at a perfect speed, unlike the version with IF on which was just unnaturally fast.

Changing that won't help at this point since you designed for IF, but if you make another, for realism I highly suggest you go with no IF.

Ok well that sucks, i had no idea, im pretty sure i made a few track peices to slow it down because it was too fast in improved friction, but i thought it was supposed to be improve friction, because it is IMPROVED, and it would be weird not to use it. So i think it is fine because it is slightly slowed down.

This looks great but I got 2 questions?
1.Will it have a custom station?
2.Is there a theming?

Yeah, I expect it's improved for the actual use of the train style. It might get a lil wacky with longer trains since apparently they're not expected...not sure...but Intamin woodies do have more friction than normal ones.

1. YES it will. Made out of supports. It will be very cool and im planning on having the track above be a flythrough-ish thing. So it will be cool.
2. Not really. I may put some 3ds themepark stuff elsewhere. Like another coaster, and some paths. But not a theme.

K,thanks!

Yep.

Lets not forget that the Intamin Prefab trains are basically steel coaster trains - so thats probably a huge difference in friction modeling since the trains you guys use are supposed to be steel wheels on steel tracks, etc. You know the differences.

So improved friction it is. If you designed a true wooden coaster with PTC's, it would probably track right. But Intamins are basically a 3 row mega train.

where did this go..?
i was looking forward to a really cool wood coaster and it just disappeared.
hope you continue to work on this ride

Working on it. Got a couple turns supported. Been busy with schoolwork lately. Im sorry for the delays. But i havent given up yet, and im not planning on it!

Yeah,right,the use even the same restraint and have bigger wheels than normal woodies.

Here some pics of the new more realistic env. and some supporting.











Yeah comments are nice, They help this move along.

Damn I hate prefab transitions... Looks nice though lol.

Why?

THIS.LOOKS.SWEET!Great work,Kyle,can't wait for the release!

fvd'd or newton'd?

May I make a suggestion? Change the Color to a light sandy brown. I think it would stand out a little more. Are you going to add ties last, or are you leaving it like that?

Oh yeah,these ties outside of the track would be awesome!

It is newtoned but its not a crap newton coaster that i built in two seconds. And no ties dont exist on intamin prefabs.

I was talking about gthese spine things outside of the track.

I still have no idea what you are talking about. Well that is the last update for the weekend. Im goint to knoebels and kennywood on a PA trip to get me some credits! Ive only got 84 and i wanna work towards 100.

Only thing I think he could mean would be the galv. steel angle brackets on the side of the track, as highlighted in this pic of T-Express:

Maybe if i have some time to figure it out.

I mean to extend the existing spines outward,a bit like on GCIs,the have that too,but Prefabs also have then as far I know:
