Project Standup

Just to point out, this picture i had auto connect on. that is NOT the ending.

the curve into the lift looks too small. as does the station

its just the angle the station holds a 7 car train with more room to spare.

b&M standups have 8 cars per train...

^ok. yeah, it looks different in the sim then the editor, it looks good

...jcoasters, please think before you speak.

Also, different B&M rides have different numbers of cars, so why would it be wrong for him to use 7 cars per train? C'mon dude you've been around long enough...

i was assuming since most floorless and inverted coasters have 8 cars per train, this would too.

just want to point out, mantis at cedar point has 8 cars per train.

Pretty sure I'm quickly losing intelligence by reading this thread.

cam we get back on topic here, thanks..



(^color test^ no prefabs in finaL!)

Your ride looks pretty good so far, but i think you should redo your ending, and make your drop MUCH less steep. In fact you might want to rethink your layout. But you are on the right track! I would suggest using newton for a B&M Standup though, and i would not put a roll like the one you have, and instead have some sort of corkscrew. So many people will have a problem with that.

towards the ending there are some fast low to ground turns like mantis and some nice transitions. Ill let you test and see how it is if you give me your email?

roll goodness

looks cool

thats all you can say? looks cool? any parts that need tweaking?

It is a strange element for a stand up. But then, it is your ride. I don't think there's any rule that says you have to use B&M elements for your own creative design. I think it will depend on the lateral g forces in the element. Ride is looking good.

well what are the maximum lateral forces for a standup? the ride spikes at .9 and that roll spikes at 1.1

I think it depends in this case. Are the G's spikes? Or does it gradually increase to .9/1.1?

gradual.

Supports started:

The supports look bad. look at pictures on RCDB and model after that.

What's with the really long pre-drop?

Supports are too thin, and the pre drop does really look too long. You should fix that. And even though tis gradual, I'm liking the barrel roll less and less...I just don't think it'll fit right with the feel of a standup.
