Talon - 2005 - Dorney Park - Pictures!

im very sure you guys did. i must of been thinking of a different dead recreation though

I think you might be thinking of Katun?

i dont think it was that. i found your old thread. no pics.

I was awhile ago. I cant remember exactly when, and maybe Frenzy did say hed do 3ds supports but in the latest version he gave to me so I could redo it, the entire thing was NL supported.

They look better anyways. We can easily throw in some connectors or something to help it along.


Ok, I did one more revision (one of the turns laterals got a bit high in the middle seats) and its not exactly 3110.00 ft long and rides as perfect as I think I can get it.



The lats in the outer seats in a few spots reach 1.4. I believe this is accurate because on any B&M I have been on, in high rotation areas (such as zero g's, cobra rolls and wingovers) the outer seats get a nice heavy dose of laterals. However, because of the smoothness of the transitions, they never feel as high as they are. I rode Raptor in the front corner and back corner and in the zero g I was getting pushed to the side pretty hard, though not harshly so it isnt as noticeable.


Inside seats though prove the tracks realism. Lats are extremely, extremely low (under 0.5 I think). For ultimate, ride row 4 middle seats - should be slightly lower even.



Hopefully I can get ahold of Frenzy and he can start fleshing it out.

Im going to have a movie from the editor up shortly in a few days. Frenzy is alive and kicking so work is being made on it!

^ If you still need testers, I'll be happy to test. I"ve watched the POV about a bazzillion times and from the POV I can basically tell about how many g's it pulls in each element & ect, and I've also studied many a satalite images to fully understand the layout of this ride.....

Heh, its not like the layout is that difficult.

The POV still is hard to decifer from the real thing. You know me, Ive seen video of everything I can get my hands on and it still suprised me. The Zero G and Immelman had insane floater air but with a very nice rotation that I wasnt expecting.

Also the Wingover had some force but the real kicker was the helix. Its quite a bit stronger than you assume. This version, which Ill blame on NL's inability to get the friction models just right, pulls just about 5G's in the helix which I would say is about .5 too much. Also the hill after the helix has some slight ejector air and so does the hop into the brakes. But the ride is exactly the same length (to the inch) as the real ride and pretty much matches up so whatever happens friction wise in that last 1,000ft is up to NL. Im confident its pretty exact.

Looks like the coaster is really starting to come together. The 3d's look nice.

Check out this hotness! Bet you havent seen this before in NL...
Its a game of "spot the difference"

http://nldc.interfix.net/i11932

looks excellent

would the different be the orange bar on the "spine"? if so it most definatly is hott, are you planning on making buildings and what not around the foot paths?

How the hell did you do that???

This could open the doors to really nice looking patriot and silver bullet recreations, both of which have track textures unable to get with standard NL.

3ds im guessing, sort of like hansixx's ganja or whatever

^^ All B&M's made by Cedar Fair feature this. Raptor, Patriot, Hydra, etc.

I did use a 3ds spine that is textured on the opposite sides.

Fenzy will be doing most all of the 3ds outside of the track. I will help but thats mostly his baby.


--------------------------

Huge Update:

The 3ds spine is 90% complete. I will finish it up tonight then Ill move to the competition. I just need to lay down example footers/connectors for Frenzy to work from and then Ill send it off for him to polish up.

In the meantime:

Looks awesome, great job.

there goes my 'best talon' prize...

Took me a week (because of a contest that I made by 1 minute) but I am passing the track back to Frenzy within the next 24-48 hours.

Spine is done I just want to throw up the connector templates for him with a description on how to lay them so he can buzz right through it.
