Make sure to randomly place stupid tents in the queue.

Oh yes, that's very important, would drag the entire coaster score down without it :P

This is a mini update to kinda show that I'm not dead, just injured. An eye injury has kept me from working on this too much so progress will be slow for a while.

So.. I encountered a little problem while supporting. I couldn't use conventional supports on a certain part of the batwing element or else there would be some track/support collisions. Here are the supports I came up with. They look kinda derpy but as far as I know, they do their job.

Ah. That program is harder than newton 2 I think. Great job using it though. I like what I'm seeing!

^I agree, FVD++ is much different then Newton2, but I wouldn't say harder. Once you get past the learning curve, you will be making better rides then you possibly could in Newton. Thanks for your positive feedback also!

I think one has to master Newton 2 before going to FVD++. But yeah I love your ride.

Hmm, I don't know, me and AJ know Newton2 pretty well and we just can't seem to get along with FVD++. However, I don't intend for this thread to derail into a FVD debate.

Hope you recover from your eye injury. This coaster looks really cool at the moment, I love the terrain and supports!

^^I just personally like fvd a lot. It is not everybody's thing. Believe me, I know that you and aj are great with newton, in fact, way better then what I do in fvd.

^i am already recovering quickly! Thanks!

Thanks for building cool coasters! Yeah, AJ on this forum is awesome as you say! I don't know why but his name makes me think of Aytrane who is by far the best builder I've ever seen! Flawless Meister! :D

*Update*

I have decided on the name Elevate and I have made the first draft of the Entrance sign that will be in front of the queue. I have also improved the queue fences (as you can see in the picture) and I have added to the supports on the batwing. Thoughts/comments about the name are appreciated. If you don't like it, then tell me.

That's a really neat entrance sign. I could see a real park using that.

Well since that this is an Inverted Impulse complete circuit coaster thing, and since there is only 1 other complete circuit one still in operation today, that being Volcano, and since that line gets very long, I would suggest you make your queue line be able to hold up to 3 hours of riders :P


Aren't you forgetting about Tornado and Tornado? lol

I think TTD03 is ignoring them due to the fact they're both chain lift powerered and therefore considered a different model.

^Yeah I assumed that when he said it. My inspiration actually partly came from the Tornados.

Yes, I ignored the others because they are chain and not LIM launch.
I really like the name and the supports look fine especially since the supports for Great Bear at Hershey are derpy as well in certain parts because of the terrain.

A little coaster I made while messing around in FVD++. I guess it is my new side project. Sorry for the terrible B&M shaping and g forces, but this version is just to plan out the layout (which I probably will heavily change anyway).

Messing around with some b&m hyper stuff in FVD++...

It's supposed to be shambhala inspired.

Wow! So much cool stuff in here just please whatever you do don't let yourself lose sight of Elevate! I really like that non-inverted batwing.

^^That shaping looks spot on for a B&M hyper. Keep it up, and as previously stated, don't forget about Elevate!

EDIT: That element after the first drop is heavily Fury 325 inspired, isn't it? :P
