Looks like a great ride. What environment is that?

Cactus22minus1's N20. BTW The pictures, with the exception with those at the bottom are in chronological order.

The special elements are the first inversion which is like a very slanted immelman with a 240 degree roll into a turn. The second is the second inversion which is a Zero-spin. It enters like a Zero G but exits like a flat-spin.

From there its a collection of airtime (8 moments) and turns including:

200 degree turn around
Overbanked turn
630 degree helix


Im VERY pleased with the track. Its not perfect, nothing I do is. But its very, very good. Its just very "naked" sitting there with nothing around it but green grass.

"The Wooly Bear"... that's a really cute name! It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. [:)]

Anyway, the coaster looks like a very fun ride. I'll look forward to checking it out when you are done.

Either these are 3D's supports or Real has been working damn hard on those joints.

I'm not too fond of the name however.. But oh well, looks like a stellar track anyway. BUT, we shall see. [;)]

All NL supports there killer. I just spent some time figuring out the exact location of each. Not every joint came out perfectly but many of them came out very nicely.

Actually - the ones you are looking at are just looking that way because of the pixelation covering it up. They arent that perfect but since you noticed I may go in and spend some extra time tidying them up.

Tsk, Tsk. Shame on you Real. Not getting it absolutely perfect before showing anybody. You'd better make those perfect before taking anymore "false" pictures. [;)]

This coaster looks very good, i like the combination of inversions, tunnels, speed, and headchoppers. Very nice job! Cant wait to ride it.

I just have one question... could you PLEASE change the color in the tunnel? I couldn't see a darn thing. It would be fun IRL, but us virtual riders have no idea what is going on with the light turned completely off.

lol. You know I strive for realism. I wouldnt have put in all that work making the tunnel go from light to dark with nice textures if I didnt want that effect ;)


Well, what I had done is just used an actual tunnel segment which shadows the train as well. It looks quite odd to enter the tunnel which darkens quite a bit but then it looks really dumb when the train is fully bright.

I may however just get rid of the tunnel, let the train be bright (or make it dark to begin with - mwahaha) and then throw up some fake tracer lights on the side of the tunnel. Not sure. Ill make it a tad easier.


Just watch the G's. I said its a triple down - nothing more is going on in there.

I like how, "The Wooly Bear" just screams, "I'm terrifying" at people loooking for thrills. [lol] But seriously.... it sounds like one of those name the ride contests and the person in charge of the park's kid comes up with that name, and so he doesn't upset him... he uses that name on the coaster. That's what the name brings to mind... for me at least.[lol]
