Wow, it's been ages that I've touched Scream Machines but I hope to make a difference on that. I'm currently working on the lateral bracing of the new ride that I'm working on.

A few stats:
Top speed: 54mph
Length: 2530ft
Max Lateral: 1.3g
Max Negative: -1g
Max Positive: 3.6g

Comments are always welcome [:)]

Woodies are awesome in SM. If you didn't notice, the 3 seat "classic" car has buzz bars =D

I noticed, but the 3 seater didn't really fit this ride imo. [:)]

All RCCAs should be RMC'd. And that event shall be henceforth known as the Rollercaust.

Oh yeah, I figured out what does the automatic bracing: Off to the left, when you click on a segment, it says "fan", "left, right or both". This is applied when you build a scaffolding.

I know. But the bracing plus auto collision detection doesn't really like eachother. Even without bracing and collision detection on, it takes down structures that you can't even touch with the edge of the footers... So yeah, one of the reasons why I'm building the structure manually. [:)]

A little longer than No Limits. so yeah, it can take very long. Depending on how complicated you want it...

Edit:
Trees have been placed, changed theme and gave the track a little different color. Opinions?

I have to say the old one. Cherry Wood probably wouldn't be useful for a coaster.

Wow, good to here more people getting SM. Havn't seen many wooden coasters on SM with custom lateral bracing. Nice work BTW this had to take you a while. I've always wanted to do a SM woodie with lateral braces but it takes me forever.

Okay, here we go:
Red: 94
Green: 73
Blue: 47


I've changed the color back to the old one. The new one didn't look as good as the old one eventually.

I'll be uploading it after the weekend. [:)] At that time I should have a video ready for you guys too.

Meh... Too little time for making the video, but don't worry. That's on it's way!

In the meantime for all Scream Machines users. It's uploaded on the exchange: Click Here to view the ride.
