Top Thrill Dragster - The Port

[Mr. Freeze]

You have a lot better attention span for details than I ever will probably. And because of that high attention span, this is looking amazing and very on point with even the smallest of details. Can't wait to see more updates on this and hopefully a release

I can ask him on Facebook if he'll take a look at the thread, if you like?

P.S. it was a girl

That would be awesome.

Nope, I'm usually the same when it comes to my attention span on a project, it's just the fact that this is a recreation gives me something to aim for when building/importing. With original coasters, they lose my attention mostly because I don't have a clear image of how I want the finished version to look, so I kind of get stuck in this limbo on the scenery and just lose motivation.

I wish I could have that catch car. Will you be releasing the script for it? Also, you are really taking Real's recreation to the next level. Fantastic job and amazing attention to detail!

Thanks. At the moment, the script for the catch car is incorporated into the main block script for the coaster. I'm not sure if I'll be able to release it on it's own, it depends on if I'm able to standardize the script and make it standalone instead of being part of the coaster script.

I'm currently changing the surrounding area to be more similar to the real version


Aside for bringing everything over to NL2, I'm also retexturing some things (as can be seen with the ground in the last pic) and remodelling so other things, such as the grandstand/snack bar building

I'm remembering a concrete ramp with one switchback that employees use to get from the control room to the midway. It's on the left of the checkered building closest to the launch. I could be wrong through.

EDIT: It's stairs, not a ramp

Actually it is correct the way Projektion did it. One side is a ramp and the other side is stairs.

^^When I get around to redoing the station building, I'll make sure to add those in.

Small modelling update, updated the entrance portal under the launch track (ignore the railings, I'm going to eventually turn all the queue railings and fences to supports).


I also need a bit of help. Does anyone have a good picture of these 2 signs

or if not, does anyone know what they say so that I can make my own ones to fill the place.

You could also include the lockers everyone hates to the right if you want lol.

Those lockers are so stupid, they don't check for loose articles and they're conveniently next to some trees you can hide your stuff behind.

man this project looks great

Let me check my photoarchive. I'd might have a useful picture back from my visits.

edit:
This is the only thing I could find:

Is there any update on this, it look really good!

[Dirk_Ermen]

Seeing how this thread is 3,5 years old since the last reply. I have a good feeling this project may be in the fridge.

rip

Is this recreation scrapped or?

i wish it wasn't but i think it is
