Make sure to randomly place stupid tents in the queue.

Oh yes, that's very important, would drag the entire coaster score down without it

This is a mini update to kinda show that I'm not dead, just injured. An eye injury has kept me from working on this too much so progress will be slow for a while.

So.. I encountered a little problem while supporting. I couldn't use conventional supports on a certain part of the batwing element or else there would be some track/support collisions. Here are the supports I came up with. They look kinda derpy but as far as I know, they do their job.

Is it hand built?

^Nope, FVD++

Ah. That program is harder than newton 2 I think. Great job using it though. I like what I'm seeing!

^I agree, FVD++ is much different then Newton2, but I wouldn't say harder. Once you get past the learning curve, you will be making better rides then you possibly could in Newton. Thanks for your positive feedback also!

I think one has to master Newton 2 before going to FVD++. But yeah I love your ride.

Hmm, I don't know, me and AJ know Newton2 pretty well and we just can't seem to get along with FVD++. However, I don't intend for this thread to derail into a FVD debate.

Hope you recover from your eye injury. This coaster looks really cool at the moment, I love the terrain and supports!

^^I just personally like fvd a lot. It is not everybody's thing. Believe me, I know that you and aj are great with newton, in fact, way better then what I do in fvd.

^i am already recovering quickly! Thanks!

Thanks for building cool coasters! Yeah, AJ on this forum is awesome as you say! I don't know why but his name makes me think of Aytrane who is by far the best builder I've ever seen! Flawless Meister!

*Update*

I have decided on the name Elevate and I have made the first draft of the Entrance sign that will be in front of the queue. I have also improved the queue fences (as you can see in the picture) and I have added to the supports on the batwing. Thoughts/comments about the name are appreciated. If you don't like it, then tell me.

That's a really neat entrance sign. I could see a real park using that.

Well since that this is an Inverted Impulse complete circuit coaster thing, and since there is only 1 other complete circuit one still in operation today, that being Volcano, and since that line gets very long, I would suggest you make your queue line be able to hold up to 3 hours of riders

Aren't you forgetting about Tornado and Tornado? lol

[mkingy]

I think TTD03 is ignoring them due to the fact they're both chain lift powerered and therefore considered a different model.

^Yeah I assumed that when he said it. My inspiration actually partly came from the Tornados.

[TTD03]

Yes, I ignored the others because they are chain and not LIM launch.
I really like the name and the supports look fine especially since the supports for Great Bear at Hershey are derpy as well in certain parts because of the terrain.

Agree with this! Is it support made?

No, it is made using sketchup.

A little coaster I made while messing around in FVD++. I guess it is my new side project. Sorry for the terrible B&M shaping and g forces, but this version is just to plan out the layout (which I probably will heavily change anyway).

[TTD03]

It's different, and I like it!

Messing around with some b&m hyper stuff in FVD++...





It's supposed to be shambhala inspired.

Wow! So much cool stuff in here just please whatever you do don't let yourself lose sight of Elevate! I really like that non-inverted batwing.

^^That shaping looks spot on for a B&M hyper. Keep it up, and as previously stated, don't forget about Elevate!

EDIT: That element after the first drop is heavily Fury 325 inspired, isn't it?
