Thunder Dolphin Project - Help with 3ds needed!

Heyho!

I thought about recreating Thunder Dolphin including the whole scenery and linear gale and stuff. I'm not sure if I should do it.
just leave your opinion in this topic.

also VERY IMPORANT!

if you have any useful things like screenshots, links with information or pictures, kind of trackplan with the sizes and stuff please also leave it in this topic.
it would help to make it as accurate as I can.

I'm going to need help with some part like the Big O. maybe some like binomaus can help at this point

so I hope there'll be a lot of comments and useful stuff.[:)]

so tell me what you think!

[hyyyper]

ehh, 2 words: you're sick,

you're going to create a part of tokyo?
the big O?

i can only wish you good luck and make sure you pay attention to the track aswel

[gouldy]

I hope you do, it would be a massive project to take on, but with patience, it could be really great.

Hyyyper, the big O is the Ferris wheel type thing that the Thunder Dolphin travels through the middle of, at part of the ride:

yeah of course it would be a really, really big project.
and I would need a lot of information from you guys outthere.

and maybe someone who is good in making 3ds because the big O would be a bit too hard to create for me.
and I would only make the triangle with thunder dolphin in it.

so please some more opinions and maybe some infos...track data sizes of the triangle if anyone can find.

i know that, i was wondering if he was going to recreat it

[gouldy]

ahh, I see, thats actually quite obvious now sorry for the mistake.

Ish, I know where you can find an onride video of the Thunder Dolphin if you need help with the layout at all. Along with a video of the whole of LaQua, so you can see some of the smaller deatils and so on.

themeparkreview.com?
I have that vid and I know the layout but I need more information about the heigh because I don't know how tall the overbank is, just for example. and basicly thunder dolphin is build on a triangle, right?
it would help enormous if someone can find the sizes of it.

because with what I have right now I can't make much.

thanks FN.

If anyone has a track plan or a good picture almos from the top...that would be really helpful because i dunno exactly the form of the triangle. and again at everyone out there please leave everything you know about TD in this topic.

also all your opinions are welcome!

[hyyyper]

to bad the coaster is in tokyo, otherwise i could bring ya a satelite pic...and i think rcdb.com had a lot of pics, or maybe you should ask intamin for some blueprints....[;)]

Maybe sendign a mail to the park, manufacturer or designer? Maybe they can give you something. I kind of doubt it, but some parks are very kind with this.

Good luck. This is a big prodject, and it would be great if you completed it!

well I better contact the intamin AG.
it would suck if laqua qould send me a chineese answer...lol

anyway good idea.

I'll send them a message tomorrow.

[gouldy]

why would the Japanese send you a Chinese message?

If you send thema message in English I'm sure thye got someone that can understand it[;)]

You wont get blueprints or layouts from either. At least Intamin. Its copyrighted material just like everything else they do. Youd need some good satellite imagery or just some good eyes to determine the path, which for this ride isnt hard.

hmm I'll see what I can do and will post any news in this topic.

well I now build a megacoaster that is pretty much inspired by Thunder Dolphin.
basicly it's the same idea. I'm still going to build it like the area of thunder dolphin.

the first screens are completelyy without banking.

afterwards i'll throw it through the AHG.

so I hope you're still interested and still tell me what you think about it and what I can make better.

it would be nice if someone like tconwell adn/or intaminfan would like to test it.

would anyone count off fore that:
http://nldc.interfix.net/i3584
it isn't actually close enough to ever reach it.
it's a part of rail that wen't through the tunnel.

hope to see a lot of comment[:D]

No way, i wouldnt count off for it. But some picky people might. I will test if you want, i dont mind though.

davieschemical@gmail.com

I wont count off for that as this is being very picky.
