Still looking good. I like the "park" concept released in stages idea.

[mkingy]

Yeah definitely release it in stages - I like that kind of development!

I do like white and yellow on your Invert! They all seem to be appealing!

Some tweaking needed but this is the twister section of thundercat

[Turbo]

I like it

Neat figure-8 section. I like how it's pretty much not banked.

I guess that the "airtime hill" directly leading to a flat turn is pretty cool!

^^ It was slightly inspired by Dorney's Thunderhawk, which has those off 1920's transitions, I wanted to keep that but not make it so harsh so slightly less banking was the direction I took.

^ Actually the hill before the flat turn has very little air time, there is however a tiny bunny hop hidden between that turn and the fan curve that delivers a decent pop.
I have also realized that the park concept will never reach fruition as long as its in my hands so I will be releasing Each coaster as its finished with a small scene instead.

yeah I've wanted to do a park but I just don't have the dedication. Good plan.

So I came up with this idea of making a first gen intamin drop tower, I decided to use the 4-d trains and see how I could push the limits. This is still a rough draft but so far it reaches a height of 516 ft and a top speed of 91 mph, and inverts 3 times, including once while in free fall.

So what drug did you start taking?

Maybe he started taking crank:

No drugs for me, just haven't been inspired lately so I decided to do something different. I personally like how it is turning actually.

^ Of course I was just kidding lol! Your idea is innovative here! +

The main structure for the tower is finished, I plan on having it branch out to accommodate for wind. Not sure how to support the crest. I like my idea for the drop part but not sure how realistic it is, if the supports would work in this case.

My heart's sort of beating on the way up!

Figured out a believable solution to supporting the crest. All that's left support wise is the bottom half of the tower including the branches from the side to beef it up, finish connecting the drop to the main tower, and flanges, and to figure out how and where to put emergency stairs

Let me bump your line from the "What if Larson Loop was like this?" thread.

And I thought my 4-d drop tower was unique.... This is better though

I love your attempt, too!

[mkingy]

Looks good, might be wroth splaying out the truss supports like the base of Millenium Force for a bit of stability (or be lazy and add tension cables lol)

^ I was actually going to do just that. anyway progress so far

^^ & ^ Deja Vu also has the similar support type.

[Coasterkidmwm]

Looks like Dea Vu and the X car Skyloops had a baby.

^ The green and black probably really cause it to resemble Deja Vu

^^ & ^ Yeah absolutely true!

So I decided once again to attempt a park using some of the same coasters plus a few new ones, but let's be honest I'll probably never finish any of it. I decided on Bandit, the GCI, having really basic supports for performance reasons(And I suck at wooden supports).
Prey, the invert, is completely done, just working on the area around it, including a custom vekoma shuttle. The main structure for the drop tower is about 75% done. I decided the launched coaster, currently titled ace, fit better as an X-car than an Intamin, I threw prefabs on it for now to get an idea. I also started working on a Giga coaster that will flow through the front of the park uch like Fury 325, the area around the station will have 1 or 2 more coasters to make it less empty. And the mountain will eventually wrap around the entire back side of the lake giving a permanent boarder to the park.
