I just finished a ride just like that. I even have the double down in mine. Great minds think alike i guess.

well it sounds cool. Is it gonna be themed?

Sounds cool. I look forward to the screens.[:)]

^Screenshots should be up tonight. I'm just remaking the ending.

I doubt it, just some terraforming and trees. Maybe a partial custom station.

Sounds like a nice ride, I too can't wait for the screens.[8D]

Well, after trying out some alternate endings I have decided to just keep the one I first built which is just a simple, yet effective air time ending.

In all, there is 7 spots of airtime (in front and back seats) which is on par with other hypers such as Goliath@WW, Nitro and Silver Star.

I really like those colors, seriously...:p

Looks good from what I can see. A pic of the whole layout would've been nice.

Thats a nice realistic hyper. Something like a bit of a better SROS (not the SFNE one) but something that the cloned ones should have been.

Nice looking ride, layout looks simple yet effective

Yes, defintely nice layout, looks great overall. But is there some speed going into the break run? It looks like the end is either really slow or the break run is really harsh (avoid making it harsh). Also, stick with 7 or less cars if you wish, because it really allows for better and realistic pacing.

That only depends on the length of the ride. A good builder can make 8 cars work as well as 7.

I think the ending looks fine. Coming up a hill means you lose speed but judging by the difference in height from the hill before it, youll pull some nice airtime into the brakes.

Which is a feature I love on coasters - air into the brakes.

With 7 cars per train it ends the run at 40mph going into the final brakes with -0.1g in back seat and -0.3 in the front car.
The final brakes have a deceleration value of 1.2g, which stops it smoothly and fast.

I'm still debating if I should change it to 6 cars per train. I think it should be fine though if I leave it at 7 cars per train.

I think you really should change it to 6 cars and the lift speed to 8.3, That makes alot more air on the final hills.

FornicationNation that would be great with some superman scenery . . . you know what im saying ?

you know what im saying ?

not really

I was saying theme your ride like this http://nldc.interfix.net/i5499
http://nldc.interfix.net/i3725 (dcs221's coaster"

That looks very nice, a great layout, looks like it'll have good air, and don't theme it too much, maybe just a station, a bunch of trees, and a cartexture.

a pshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ^

Looking good FN...real good. I think that when this coaster comes out it will be a blast.

thanks for the comments

You're totally welcome. [^]

Is it just me, or just the rails in this picture look slightly screwed up? http://nldc.interfix.net/i5823 They go from a larger rail into a thinner one.
