Operation Wingrider

Welcome to operation 'Wingrider' cadets; you will be testing out the next generation of flying machine, and self launch technolegy

------------------------

Operation Wingrider is a concept Vekoma stingray, i thought of a few nights ago. It starts with a launch through a loop giving you some serious airtime followed by a course of tight twists and turns in a low to the ground aerial assault cource

Lol, I thought you were making an Intamin wingrider... </3

Oh, well, still looks quite good.
Btw, that's not a loop...

Looks pretty interesting, I'll watch for this. What method are you using to build?

And yeah as Vid W mentioned, its a Raven Turn I believe.

I'd say Newton or FVD...

More supports have been completed and for this coaster I am using 3ds flanges (and possibly footers).

Here is the updated project page:

-----------------

Now for some user input; please answer these questions so i can make a better ride.(You will get Credit!)

• Should the station be made in 3ds or supports?
• Do you like the colour scheme (if no why?)
• Should the pre-launch be enclosed in a building?

How are your G's?

4.6gs max vert +-0.5g lat

Let's get some acceleration Gs. Those are what you're gonna want to worry about and watch out for.

Make the station out of supports.

3ds look better on steel coasters imo.

Acceleration g's are what i meant in that post so 4.5g's Acc Max

I don't understand how you can make a Flying Dutchman without getting more than -2+g, but that's just me. Looking good so far!

4.5 Acceleration G's??

Update 3

3ds work has been started on the coaster and its surroundings

4.5 Acceleration G's??

^You may be forgetting that the riders are in a different position, so acc g's are in effect vert g's

^Thankyou and good to see you on the forums, I am a big fan of your youtube videos!

Are you actually adding bolts to the flanges?

Grrr I had an idea like this with a very similar launch. Oh well, my layout's better =P

Ah.. I forgot about that.

well, even so, 4.5 acceleration g's? if im not mistaken, thats like bone crushing...

It depends on whether they're positive acceleration g's or negative. Positive, they might be barely OK, but negative? That's prolly not the best thing, especially with Vekoma's restraint system. It's basically a backpack, but instead of a pack, it's a coaster train.

^^To all of the above
G-Forcces

Nighthawk; Carowinds: 4.3gs
Batwing; Six Flags America: 4.3gs
and other flying dutchmans have 4.3gs

(Info from RCDB)

Yeah, but not negative.
4.5 positive is ok, but for negatives I really wouldn't recomend going far from 2Gs...

^When did i leave you to belive that that was minus g's...

You're being difficult. Your forces hurt. They are uncool. It has reached a point where you need to understand that it is time to edit them to a safer level.

4.5 isn't awful but you still need to bring that down a notch or two. What are your negative accel forces?

You didn't.
But, you still didn't tell us how much force it does pull, which is what everyone's trying to find out since post #4....

Also, I don't think if the 4.5 Gs are positive, they represent a problem, with you lying on your back and all... Several coasters pull more, while being sitdown coasters...

I will check the -forces later, now I've got to go to school.
