Psari : Now Uploaded!!

I'm building a coaster based on the new Gerstlauer Launched in Belgium, Anubis. Specs (so far) :

- Launch from 0 to 105 km/h (65 m/h)
- 2 inversions, Immel and Loop
- 1 uber-cool non-inverting loop
- 3000ft long
- 144ft tall

Ofcourse.
By the way, it is totally handbuilt.

The non-invert loop is HOT!

Finished the ride lay-out:

Anyone here creative with names?

Wow that is looking so good, looks alot better now your adding the supports.

As far as the name goes:
Do you have ideas how the ride would be themed if it was in a park?
Think about that and then think what names would match that theme, and decide on one of them.

OR alternatively, just think of random cool sounding words and just call it one

OR alternatively, call it "big floppy donkey willy 2" [:)]

Well just looking at the ride and the electric blue, i think it needs a sort of electric/energy sort of name like, Kinetic or somat

Man...this is looking really good. Highly anticipating the release here!

Thanks for the comments all. But the parts of the ride really need some AHG, but since I'm crap in AHG, is there anyone who could do that for me? Would be really really appricieated.

Edit: Jakizle presented to help me out with this. Thanks!

DAYUM!!!! HAWT RIDE! Track work looks spectacular, but def an AHG run through would help a lot. Support work could be a bit better, but looking OK. That dive loop is sexy, and that little airtime pop right after it is a nice touch. The inverted loop is just fantastic. For a handbuilt coaster, you sure are impressing me. Waiting for its release. Can I get an idea of what kinds of G's your pulling?

Max is 4.4G just after the launch and in the loop. I don't have much airtime.

Hows it coming along?

I handen my ride over to Jakizle but because he's bizzy with school he hasn't got much time to AHG it for me (it think).
So just have some patience, Rome wasn't built in 2 weeks. [:)]

^ yea it was, what are you talking about?

i say go with the name Triton

Update!

I chose a name for the coaster: Psari (Greek for 'fish'). Here's the logo:



Since Jakizle didn't have time to AHG it, i'll just do without it. He said it's good enough without AHG, so i'll just take his word and continue building. I made some progress on the supports yesterday:



The supports of the dive loop are based on the supports from Saw - The Ride.



I also made a cartexture:




[Edit:] Forgot to say that I changed the end of the ride into something a bit more awesome:

nice one, that ending looks class, looking forward to it [:)]

Nice name choice in the end as well, sounds good and is original!

I have one comment about the trackwork, and it may just be me. But, the non-inverting loop looks odd. Maybe it's not heartlined correctly? I don't know what kinds of lats it's pulling, but this is what I saw.

I get comments on another forum that my supports are too thin. Is this true? I photoshopped Saw here in its actual size:



Do I need to make it bigger?

You are going to rotate that top support 90*'s right?

Becuase that pic. shows the supports going horizontally with the track, not vertically like yours.

You are definitely going to need to put cross-beams, just like SAW, becuase this inversion looks 2 times taller than SAW's, and SAW has cross- beams on the supports. So, you are DEFINITELY going to have to cross-beam those supports.

That's what I was trying to say, I just missed the thing about making the supports bigger, that's a definite, and rotate those top supports 90*'s.

^^I think maybe one size bigger might be appropriate. Remember your immelman is probably a bit bigger than Saw's, so I think just givin' the size a one-up would be a good idea, just in case.

Is this better? I don't really get what you mean bu turning it 90 degrees right, is this what you meant?
