Project Tierra

[yoshifreak]

So I've started a project to sort of break up my larger giga project which is still in progress. It's a gravity group coaster, which was sort of a way to get a better handle on using the lateral g-force zones of newton 2.

Here's what's done so far:

Did I mention terraforming may be involved? [:p]

More to come soon!

So the lift comes at last?

[yoshifreak]

So I've finished the pre-lift area, now onto the coaster. [:p]

Assuming there will be a launch to get back to the station, or is there enough speed?

[yoshifreak]

Well I've designed it to have enough speed, but if it doesn't there would be a small lift at the end similar to Cliffhanger.

Edit: I felt like I had to add this picture:

That looks way better than my Ikeda jet coaster! How much air is there on that element?

There's a good amount of air throughout the entire ride.

Layout is complete, next step will be supports...

How is the pacing to the brakes? Out of control? Looks like it.

wow can I test?

Hits the pre-lift brakes at 38mph, hits the final brakes at 36mph.

I'm holding off on testers right now, but I'll definitely want some soon, this isn't designed to be a major project for me, so I'm guessing this will be released within the next two-three weeks, in the worst case before labor day.

Can I test too?lampert-sonia@bluewin.ch
BTW,add a flying snake dive!

Simulator pics to come soon, in case anyone was wondering why there is a lack of them.

That has got to be the longest pre-lift I've ever seen. Looks very interesting.

What is the length?

It's deceivingly short actually, only 4900 feet.

4900 foot prelift?

Yes, lol.

oops I forgot that[sillyme],ao aorry for my idea adding am flying snake dive ...oops,but what about sour diesel,has it a flying snake dive now?

[yoshifreak]

Lol, it might! You'll just have to wait until I update that project, but it's on hold, because it was getting to be monotonous working on that for a long time.

How is the ride going? Will there be any theming?

[yoshifreak]

I'm currently working on supports, but they're slow going since they're terrained. I am doing all custom lateral bracing, the only wood magic I used are the single column under supports.
