I'm not seeing Dr. Isley in there.
Maybe I missed something, but what is this track type then?

[TallonD83]

Its a 4 across hyper-twister. I couldn't get anything to work out on a suspended that I think fit for her. But a hyper with a bit of forest color scheme works quite well I think. Especially the last half of the ride which is fairly low to the ground and will be surround by a forest of supports.

Ok cool, thanks for filling me on that.

Sneak Peak:

Whoa! Dueling coasters of 2 types! That's unique!

[TallonD83]

well, If I can make it work...dispatching times and different frictions are making this WAY more difficult than I expected...

[TTD03]

Hehe, that's what the Pro version of NL2 is for, custom friction would be your friend in this situation

[TallonD83]

Even so, element sizes have to be different, even if they are mirror images. Its turning into more of a headache than I ever imagined...

[TTD03]

Hmm, I see.
Well I hope you don't give up on it! It's a unique concept for sure!

[TallonD83]

I'm working on two version simultaneously. One is a dueling setup, the other is just mirror images sharing a station and theming.

[TTD03]

Cool!

[TallonD83]

Can I have a few support/tunnel test volunteers?

[Paradox]

Use the clearance envelope in NL2

[TallonD83]

I have. Ridden this coaster about 20 times at 1/4 speed with that attached, but another pair of eyes never hurts!

Supporting, Flanging, and tunnel testing this beast has taken over a week...

^ The turnaround in the 1st photo does look so smooth!

[TallonD83]

I worked on that only for 3 days... PIT@!

[TallonD83]

A little more of a teaster for @TTD03



While I am showing this....can I ask for some help with custom friction and dispatch times on this? Can't seem to get things to sync up correctly...

[TTD03]

That is sick!
PM me, I'll see what I can do to test and help out with dispatch times!

[TallonD83]

something else I have been working on.

and a few more shots of Poison Ivy sans the rest of the park.





And a quick shot of Clayface's Corkscrew:

[TTD03]

^ Very nice.
Looks like a Montezooma's Revenge, an Arrow, and some sort of B&M... I want to say B&M Hyper?

[TallonD83]

You are correct. The schwarzkopf is Mr. Freeze. The arrow for clayface just sort of fit with the rest of the Arkham Asylum area, so in it went. and it is a B& hyper twister that will be themed to Poison Ivy

[TTD03]

Sweet!

[TallonD83]

And I just realized I had scenery hidden for that view. There were supposed to be flat rides scattered about...OOPS!

The only thing I really question is the spine size on the drop of the hyper, otherwise everything looks fantastic

Awesome, let me know if you want a second pair of eyes. I'm down!

I edited that to only be the pull out. Just looked funky the way it was.

Holy cow they are a PAIN!!!!
Incidentally... I have been SCOURING google for shots of Kingda Ka and TTD's support bases and have come up empty. does anyone have anything I can reference to get this as real as possible?

YOU!!! It was you I took those pics for! Couldn't remember why or where I was supposed to take those pics, but I knew I'd stumble upon it again at some point. If you want them I took a few of TTD's supports specifically when I was last there
