Marvel II

I've been trying to do this for awhile. I tried it with FVDs long ago, as well as hand-built, but I never really got anything that I liked substantially enough to go along with. I think I'm going to do this now, and take more time with it.





I'm going to need help.. lol. I really want feedback and probably one or two one-on-one testers, preferably one of you that knows what they're doing with shaping obviously, that can give me knowledgeable pointers and concrete areas in which to improve the track and shaping; I have not gotten too far with the ride yet, but I know what I want to do.

I also may need some help with Sketchup, because I've noticed that is a pretty popular and effective object creator and I want to incorporate mad scenery on this ride in some areas... for starters, where can I get that? Hahaha.

The whole thing looks rushed.

Explain, with compared references?

I can test. I think I may be able to help you understand some parts of Newton (which is what I'm assuming you're using).

^Thanks, I PMed you.

JCoasters, send me a PM? Or post here, I'd like to know what about this you don't think looks appropriate or timely. I have been working on this small portion alone for weeks so I disagree with you, but still, I'd hear you out.

-As from last Marvel as well, my main inspiration will be Speed Monster- Marvel II will have a little more tightly inspired layout from that roller coaster. I've never been on it, but it's one of my favorites. I'm not sure why.

Again, all help is welcome, as long as you seem to know what you speak of lol. Some more shaping pics

looks a little too banked, sorta, if you look at the real coaster, you can see what looks like it would amount to at least a few lat's where yours looks like it eliminates lat's altogether, but that's just my observations from what i can see.

Can we see a better pic of the Norwegian loop? And the layout looks like something you made up as you went along. I'm not liking the turn after the Norwegian. It looks out of place.

^^It's not a recreation lol. It really bugs me when people do that; there are stark similarities between the two rides, yes, but where I have similarities only in essence in certain areas does not necessarily mean they will deliver the exact same properties. And if you view the pov you'll see it surely does not eliminate all lats- sorry I meant it does eliminate all the lats, or seems to

^I'll get one later. I have the entire layout planned out... and are you familiar with the layout of Speed Monster? Haha this is why I asked for people who know what they're talking about.

Yes I know speed monster thank you very much. It still looks out of place. However, it might be the angle. A better picture would help.

It's essentially the same exact layout, with maybe some degrees of rotational difference lol....

Marvel II is taller and faster. The turnaround comes out a little more, but this ride will have a similar elongated rectangle profile as Speed Monster

sorry, didn't mean for it to sound like i wanted a recreation, my bad if it came off that way. it's just hard to tell from what few pictures there are of your references...

No probs bro. I'm gonna be doing a lot of work with this section. I think I want to make the transition into the big turn a little differently.

I think your Norewegian Loop is a bit too lopsided. Yes, they're not symmetrical, but they're also not that asymmetrical.

And how many coasters are you making right now...?

^^It's more like Fahrenheit's N-loop, except I did not make the banking swerve at the top of the first crest. They're about the same in symmetry aspects.

^Me? One.

ok, looking again at yours vs Fahrenheit's it looks a bit better. I think the angle you have in the screenshot made it seem more lopsided as well. Can you get a directly side-on view of that element?

Yeah sure, I'm going back to work on it probably tomorrow or later tonight, I'll get a few more pictures, because I'm also going to change up the turn. I'm not on my computer currently
