Operation Baby Stapler: The Ride... yeah, it sucks

[slosprint]

First off, I have no idea what a baby stapler is. I pretty much came up with the name from the random word generator which is my brain. It is likely to change. Anyways, I have been working on a
Euro-Fighter lately which will hopefully break my streak of crappy rides. I doubt anyone here came to read though, so here are a few pics:


The start of the ride is a nice, slow heartline/jojo roll out of the station. I am aware this will not get me many points for originality, but i love any ride that actually does SOMETHING before the lift.


The standard vertical lift. I have made the lift's acceleration very low so as to make it start slowly, just like the real thing.


The drop


A large overbanked curve which offers some nice floating airtime.

Anyways, I hope it looks good. more updates will come soon. Any suggestions/criticisms are welcome.

Looks cool, can't wait to see the finished layout. However, "floating airtime" at the top of an inverted section of track is not airtime, it's hangtime. If that's what you're going for, fine, but I warn you it's not as fun as it looks or sounds. It just means the top of the element is too slow.

[slosprint]

surprisingly, it's not in this case. It travels at a high speed througout the element and it never breaks -.4 gs

Baby Stapler?
Here's another one from a random word generator:
Flying Rodeo

Or

cool5: Baby Stapler Coaster

I'm sorry...

No i'm not.
[devilish]

[slosprint]

as i said before, it will change... either that or i will theme it around babies being stapled... "please be seated and pull down on your restraint bar... your mission, iff you choose to accept it is to... STAPLE THAT BABY!

ill test if u want. my aim is on my profile

[slosprint]

it isn't to the testing stage yet. but perhaps in a week or so it will be. Thank you, though.

Edit: Well I'll be damned!!! I have no life! I had nothing better to do than spend hours and hours in front of this computer so now the track is ready for testing!!! I will send it to you now ianko66!

now what about saw the ride...it has such a heartlineroll out of the station too ;D

[slosprint]

it isn't directly out of the station though... i was going for something more like Hydra: The Revenge there

[slosprint]

UPDATE!!!!!!!!

Trackwork is nearly complete and all that is left is some minor tweaking.

Exiting the Immelmann


Some nice ejector airtime


A zero-G-roll


A zero-G-roll/corkscrew hybrid


Trick Track before the MCBR


A disorienting drop


Some nice, floating airtime over the brakes


The final brakes


The twisted horseshoe roll


Another cool pic

Again, comments, criticisms and questions are welcome!

THe track looks ungerstlauerish and gay. go away

EDIT: More appropiate method of criticizing: shaping doesn't look like a gerstlauer but i like the concept

Is it tooled?

[slosprint]

yeah, i used newton 2

The first drop shaping is WAY off

[slosprint]

ok, i get it, I'm sorry i suck... i was probably gonna abandon the track anyways when the contest started so i could fail at that too.

I might as well get this over with:

That final turn into the brakes looks way too small, but it would probably be fun. You should label this as a fantasy coaster when you upload it.

[Metazoanhaddock]

*IF* he uploads it, ho should label it as realistic provided he does a realistic job on the supports and everything......Just because it isn't "Gerstlauer shaped" does not mean that it isn't realistic.... take some of my coasters for example.....they aren't shaped like any specific coaster designer/company's type...but that does not mean it isn't realistic. As long as the g's are reasonably in check, the supports realistically support the ride and can handle the forces of the train, and it for the most part passes tunnel test (don't want too many collisions on a realistic coaster lol), then it is realistic enough to label as realistic. So far the ride looks like it passes the first and the last criteria, and when he supports it, I believe it will pass the remaining criteria. so to label it as fantasy would be......strange

You...just...killed...it...

[slosprint]

i suck even more now.

And I thought I was the one that killed it. Just not your day, eh Slosprint?

[slosprint]

no, it's not... *sob*

Shouldn't you be in school right now?

[slosprint]

i am, but I already know what I'm learning and I'm not paying attention.

Is it Sex-ed?
