Khonsu - B&M Invert

Hey guys, Cheetah Hunt and dueling CCI are still under construction, but in the mean time I have a side project almost done...

Khonsu!

The sibling of Monthu is being created as his own ride, taking some elements from his brother but also incorporating some new. However I went for an older, snappy B&M style on this one. Some stats and pics:

Khonsu:

Height: 115 Feet
Drop: 107 Feet
Length: 3175 Feet
Speed: 53 MPH
Inversions: 6
Max Sustained G-Force: +4
Min G-Force: -0.3
Ride Time: 1:55
Trains: 2, 8 cars each

















As you can see, supports are basically done. Trenches are being worked on now and I will be doing a station and queue line. Should be done soon!!

Hmmm purdy. I like your Dueling Dragons like immelman thing. Montu inspired?

There are 4 things I took from Montu!!

Looks great,especially that Immelman thingy.

Haha, well I'm obviously out-voted. I was going to say that I wasn't a huge fan of the immelman thing. Oh well, your ride, and everyone else seems to like it. I guess I'll just have to get used to it [:P]. But everything else looks really really nice. Looking forward to this!

I've never been a fan of those Immelman Snake element... things, but you pulled it off very nicely! It's very well proportioned.

I am very excited for this, Jakizle.

Have you ever been on Fire Dragon? It's one of the most wicked elements around. SOOO fast and forceful.

Unfortunately I never had the chance too. The line was excruciatingly long, and I didn't want to have my family stand in the 100 degree weather (I'm the only person in my immediate family who even likes coasters). I did however get to ride the Ice Dragon though. Really, REALLY great coaster.

The line is all indoors....

I liked them about the same, but I think I rode Ice a bit more. Both excellent rides. Funny how it often seems my favorite B&M of a given type is the one I'm riding at the time...I guess that's a good thing lol.

I'm one of the few thrill seekers in my family. My family didn't want to ride, so they sat outside while I jumped in line, and out of consideration I didn't want make them sit outside for so long in the blazing sun, so I didn't bother riding Fire. I'll hit that next time I go.

You should have just gone through the re-ride line right at the exit...takes you in the loading area

Damn it.

This looks awesome Jakizle. I don't care for the first inversion but the rest of the ride looks spot on! I'm an advocate of the classic vertical loop at the end of B&Ms, I think it's cool. Montu's loops are both awesome.

I love fire dragon...
Ice dragon isnt as forcefull as fire
Love the shapping... reminds me of 3 rides
Batman, montu, n fire dragon

After riding Fire Dragon, I've decided I love that Immelman maneuver. Its such a nice element. Besides that, this ride looks sick. Can't wait to see it done.

This looks beautiful. I love the immelman and batwing. Very much looking forward to the completion of this man.

Automatic win for properly pulling off Immelman Helix. Seriously one of my fave elements ever.

Haha thanks, I need to check in and see if Matt's had any time to do the trenches...if not I may just have to go with some ugly terrain trenches :/

Does B&M do the "attach two sections of track to 1 support" thing? It seems like something they avoid but I haven't looked at newer rides closely at all for quite some time so I might be wrong.

They are separate supports, it's just the angle!

I think this is as close as they get in real life. For some reason I feel like there's another ride out there that actually has a support like the one (that appears to be) in the screenshot a few posts up, but I don't know what it is.

To be fair you can see the footer that is offset and denotes there is a seperate support and they aren't one CK. Not like you to miss something simple like that.

[hyyyper]

Could it be that the diagonal supports can both sharing a footer in the centre of the helix?

[GavG]

There isn't a diagonal coming from the partially obscured support so no I wouldn't say that is he case hyyyper.
