I started the track work 2 days ago and I'm about done. It looks pretty decent and accurate but to make sure I'll be posting screens along with this topic. Anyway the coaster is right on target. Obviously it is the same height and it reaches the exact 51 MPH top speed.

Here are some screens. (I have only done 1/6 of the supports!)

Having ridden this several times myself, you might want to raise that pretzel loop just a bit. Otherwise, I actually look forward to seeing this one.
Sometimes the best thing to say is nothing at all.

Alright. I haven't done supports on the Pretzel so I think I can work with that. I'm trying to go for the most accurate recreation. I may add a queeue but I'm not sure..

looks good, but you need to heartline the roll before the brakes

^As far as I know, the roll isn't heartlined.

Doesn't look like it is to me. It doesn't feel heartlined either when you ride.

The one other thing I noticed is that you have a double loading station, even though SUF in real life has a single one.

Yeah it used to have one. I noticed it was modiefied to a 1 station while reading it on RCDB. Since it's too late to change it I left it alone..

@Smer: The roll isn't heartlined, that's why its called an inline twist.

^Well only the one at SFGAdv has one station. The one at SFOG and SFGam has dual.

No, Great America has a single station, I think it's just SFOG that has a dual one.

I guess to make my recreation better I'll drop 1 car and add 3 trains. Looks like this one will be a recreation of the one at SFOG.


Edit: Here is an update.

In these few pictures you could see some stuff edited. The pretzel loop os taller and it's shaped better. The Twist was extended, and the Helix was enlarged.
Also the supports seem to be 2/3 Done and they'll probably done by tomorrow. Since I don't want to rush I may add the queeue and the exit path. If I'm patient enough I may also include the Transfer track building.

^ looks nice, just one problem, the connectors dont connect to the supports on the first picture of the drop.. other than that it looks really good.

Looks as accurate as can be! I made an SUF recreation ages ago, but your inline roll is much better than mine. Your screens look just like the cartoon rendering for the ride, good job!

Entrance to the Pretzel needs to be more gradual. The pull up needs to start earlier and it needs to pull up to about 50 degrees. Yours looks over 60 - too steep.

The whole thing itself needs to be wider from side to side. More round at the tops and not so pointy.

I'll try to make the entrance to the Pretzel less steep. I do have to agree it does look a bit steeper then it really is. I dissagree with you on the overbanked turns though.

If you look at the overbanked turn in that screen you can see it is very pointy. Maybe even more pointier then mine.

I was only talking about the Pretzel loop. Not the turns.

Real, in that pic of the Georgia version, it looks like the turn after the pretzel is completely flat! That's weird because the one at GAdv I rode definitely had a slpoe to that turn and then a more gradual drop.

Yea, The turn on the Georgia one is flat, One of several differences between it and the other 2.

Here is the last update [:D] Enjoy these screens because they'll be the last of S:UF you'll be seeing until the upload.
Anyway I have a request for anyone who plays SM on here. I'm having a problem creating a queeue and I want to ask if anyone could do it. I have an arial of the queeue so it can be easier to make. I'll give credit to the person who can do it when I upload.
