Riddler's Revenge - SFMM (Postponed 4 NL Tourney)

Unless you're unbelievably good at tooling, and have all the stats, including forces, I wouldn't bother.
Handbuilding works way better.
Also becouse real rides aren't always mathematically perfect.

if you want any 3ds gimme pictures and i can create detailed versions in sketchup, shame i don't hav full version, someone would have to convert for me

just wait until nolimits2 is out and buy that. or buy nl 1 it doesn't cost that much [;)]

i could, but i need a credit card D:

[slosprint]

just give cash to someone who has one and have them buy it

^that's what I did.

And thank you Vid_w for the positive feedback.

Shut up woman get on my horse!

Like I stated, I'll try to keep this updated weekly. Here is what I have after an hour of shaping today. I haven't touched NL for the last week.





I lowered the angle of the lift, to what degree? I'm not sure I don't have any tools to use for angles. But it is closer to the real thing.

156ft lift, 146ft drop is accurate. The loop height of 124ft, I have it at 124.02ft. Closest I've been able to get. All track shaping so far, I have not completely smoothed. I have 64mph currently, it should be 65mph.

A question: How many of you have been on the real ride?

I have ridden it about a year ago. Very cool ride [:)] Too bad the ride-opps weren't so smooth on videotaping, as they were on the other coasters.

^SFMM is retarded in regards to pictures and filming. You have to be sneaky about it.

Whoops. Post has nothing to do with the ride itself.

What type of angles should I use in my update pics to show clear reference to the real ride?

Sorry I didn't get any pics of riddlers (as I was there this past weekend) but I just wanted to say that batman was painted all blue... (so I don't think it was a mistake. Maybe they are going for the old batman look from the comics?)

^No worries guy.

A small update. Still shaping the drop and loop.

looking good

I guess I shouldn't really update this thread without an update. However, I've had to put off the Riddler for a bit to participate in the NL Tourney. And also, because I'm waiting on pictures.

Don't fret, I will complete this ride. I am not giving up. And no, I'm not going to use Newton until I find out why it keeps crashing my PC.

Until then...Happy Coaster Building, however you build them.
