The Turbo Topic

[Turbo]

I have a lot of projects as most people do, so I figured I'd share the ones that aren't as gigantic as Nordland here. Let's begin the journey.

This is Payload (or Megaton, or OPE). I am always a fan of Dr. Strangelove and after watching it last night I came up with this pretty nice layout. It's got a lot of unique elements for a Dive Coaster and all kinds of speeds (though it really flies through the track). The drop is 80 meters which is 15 taller than the currently tallest Dive Coaster.






All comments, suggestions, and criticisms are always welcome!

That entrance/exit to the immelman/dive is so sexy it's almost NSFW... although I think I spot a weird crick in the cobra; is that intentional? Once again I can't tell if it's the entrance or the exit but the apex of the right side of the cobra roll in the first picture looks pretty wonky, but it might ride better than it looks.

[Turbo]

I've got everything in the first section exactly where I want it except for the cobra. The train goes through it pretty fast and causes there to be some lats at the top of it, so I'm still working on getting it where I want it. I am also working on the layout after the mcbr.

Looks great so far, am still waiting for someone to make a 300+ dive coaster. Surprised no one has yet.

-10 Realism because dive coasters don't do cobra rolls IRL

[Turbo]

lol this thing is 270 feet

And nothing prevents them from making a dive machine with a cobra. The trains will allow it the only really tricky part is to make the G's cooperate.

Lol I just noticed the topic name, "The Turbo Topic"
Laughed a little too long at that.

I was thinking of starting a Plantoris topic
I also laughed at the "turbo Topic".

Turbo Topic at least has a nice ring to it, I can't think of one for my name. I was also thinking of making a topic for smaller unfinished projects, I've got more than I need

What's going on with this MCBR exit lol. Are we bringing back the space dive from Flashback/Z-Force?

lol it's nowhere near as bad. I remember the ZForce hairpins quite well... repressed memories...

It was more based on a wing rider drop that seems to be popular now

[TTD03]

It's true, my favorite thing about GateKeeper is the turn into the drop. It is one of the coolest things ever!

[mkingy]

Hard to tell from this angle but the mcbr drop looks like it dives a bit too soon or doesn't roll quick enough to be a wingrider style drop. Looks good though - the dive loop looks fantastic though!

[Turbo]

Here are some more technical shots.

I've gotten the drop right where I want it, I really tried to replicate Griffon's drop.




Unique element number 1



Unique element number 2



My FOV must be off because the first dive loop looks like garbage lol

[TTD03]

I really like the weird cobra roll looking element!

[Turbo]

This isn't really a current project, but I took some nice pics of Fenrir to add to this topic






I guess it is kinda still a work in progress since Nordland is still a big project of mine and this coaster will be in it.. idk.

Any suggestions, comments, and thoughts are always welcome

Are you planning on adding a hydraulic launch for Fenrir or are you going to leave the fins?

[Turbo]

I'm a huge fan of LSM launches

[TTD03]

^ I'm gonna assume that he is gonna leave the fins then
And nice shots of Fenrir!

That is probably the best use of the blur effect I have seen used. I always turn the effect of because when riding it just looks weird

[Turbo]

thank you, I felt the need to play around with it a little haha

[TTD03]

I really need to just get into the photo capture part of NL2, cause this rally is awesome!

Whoa, Fenrir is almost on a par with Kyle's best creation!

[Turbo]

that means a lot, thank you
