Invasion - Turbo [RELEASED]

[Turbo]

Man it's been a long time since I've posted here.
So I recently graduated high school and got bored one night. So I started to fool around with nolimits. Finally, with a lot of inspiration from Kanonen at Liseberg, Cataclysm was born.



Speed: 50 mph (80.47 kph)
Height: 86 ft (26.21 m)
Length: 2188 ft (666.9024 m)
Duration: 50-51 sec from Launch to Final Brake


I am also thinking of switching the name to Invasion. The ride would then look like this:



Because of my old computer crashing, I lost all of my old work. If I chose Invasion as the theme, I would make the station look like what I would have had on one of my old projects:






So what are your guys opinions? Thoughts? Suggestions?

Glad to hear, man. I just graduated high school a couple weeks ago!

For the ride, it looks like a cool little layout, but I'm not feeling the shaping of the Immleman after the tophat and the s-hill over the barrel roll. The barrel roll could use a little work, too. Handbuilt, right?

Invasion. Theme it to the Invasion of The Body Snatchers.

Definitely not even close to enough angles covered to make a judgment on anything, from angles to layout, anything... =P We need a lateral layout angle!

I thought this was a CJD thread.

Good looking wood station

This reminds me of one of my old projects,anyway the green looks better imo

Good to have you back, Turbo. I like the Invasion idea, personally.

Ya, the only problems with the ride that I currently have are with the Immleman and the S-Bend.

I think I'm going to go with the Invasion Theme. Maybe a different name though.

All Handbuilt.

Here are more pics:







EDIT: I just adjusted the roll. Pic Below \/

Looking really cool to me.

Oh that twisty hill looks so so cool! Especially in that second pic... the way it wraps around looks very fantastic! Great handbuilding too.

Hey, I changed the s-bend to a cork. here's some pics of shaping. what do you guys think?

^ Assuming the first picture is the entrance, it needs to be banked a little more. Use this for reference:

[Turbo]

Actually, the first pic is the exit. The fourth pic shows the entrance. I was also using Fahrenheit and Speed Monster as a reference.

But I still think that the exit needs a little more bank. I'll see what I can do


EDIT: I changed the roll a lot.

Entrance



Exit

S-bend was way cooler in my opinion. At least in the pictures it does. I would actually change it back if I were you, but I don't know how it rides so it's hard to tell.

I agree. I liked the s-hill a lot better than the corkscrew. However, it's entirely possible that the corkscrew rides better than the s-hill, in which case, keep the cork

[Turbo]

The only reason I changed the s-bend to a cork was because I couldn't nail the shaping of the bend correctly with the amount of lateral space available. I'll try to make a revised s-bend tomorrow and I'll have pics.

As far as the rest of the ride goes, I'm currently having some problems with the immleman following the tophat. The shaping is a pain in the ass for hand build. After that I just need to work out a few very minor pumps in the track. I'll be glad to get done with the track work.

I have a few good ideas for my theming job on the ride. I think I'll just leave that as a surprise though. As far as the station goes, should I go with something like the pic that i had previously shown, or something like X-Flight's?



EDIT: PICS!






I worked on the s-bend for a while this morning and ended up with this. What do you guys think?

Make it a bit lower and more flat.

The problem I'm having is the amount of G's that will occur if I do that. I tried flatter first, and I just don't have the space required.



EDIT: I made it work. apparently I was being stupid on the placement of the s-bend. here's new pics...

Looks a lot better in my opinion.

cool

[Turbo]

Started on the theming after a long vacation:






Thoughts and comments are always welcome



EDIT: Better looking fence

looks nice!

[mkingy]

Really impressive support work, looking forward to release!

[Turbo]

Things are starting to come together.






I don't know how the hell I'm going to make the Invaders with supports. We might see that in the next update.

Thoughts and suggestions are always welcome!
