man, that seems awesome! I'll be heading out to hershey park soon, not that far away.

i think they should call it renegade

me too, the other ones are kinda stupid and childish to me. Renegade sounds scarier than those. I forgot to mention that to see the video, you need Quicktime6 or + .

i said Steel Stampede. I thought that that name flowed good, and if the coaster does then Great! Also i thought that name was original and i have never heard anything before. I did like REnegade but i think that its a pretty common name, but i dunno. Looks coo though and maybe someday i wud be able to go! [:D]YAY[:D]!!!

WOW!!!!!!THAT LOOKS AWESOME!!!!!! I've gotta go there!

i better get recreating [NL]

Now that looks like a great ride, Will have to be there to check that out. There are not enough good coasters in the south, which hope will change soon

I'm about halfway done with it.

lostst8ofmind, i know wat u mean on not enough coasters in the south. i can't get a decent ride close to my house unless we make a trip to sfog.

Renegade all the way, i hope someone does a good recreation, with the supports look at the animation of the whole ride you can see some on there. just a helpful hint.

Yeah,the supports were really easy but the FSD was sort of hard to make[smooth]and the upwards S curve thing at the end was kind of hard.Should be ready in a couple of days.I'm using the POV,of course so it's kind of hard to make a really good recreation of it but I'm sure someone will.

-There's a recreation of it already on coasterbuzz games but it was made like two hours after the announcement and it isn't that good.
