'Rockit' will roll 'em at Universal Orlando in 09

The supports are amazing! I love how you will be able to walk right under the track!

The coasters taking great shape over the past month! With the Vertical Construction of the lift beginning, and the turnaround almost complete, the ride is being built incredibly fast! And the ride seems like a winner with its overbanks, can't wait to see the thing ready to roll!


Vertical Construction, literally.


I'm guessing the storage track place, considering there's three stations.


The amazing looking turnaround.

i just creamed.

I just sour creamed.

I've heard how people really don't care for the layout.. well I actually love it. Looks like a lot of downforce and a fast paced ride.

That loops reminds me of every NoLimits creation where the user didn't know how to use AHG.

i can't see the picture [:(]

So there's a new picture on screamscape...not sure if it's the ascent or drop from the mcbr...it looks siiick.

[hyyyper]

That look sooo sick indeed. I think it's the ascent into the brake run, because you can see that the end is sloped downwards.

omfg. Best. x. car. ever. I love the way it has a slight twist in it, dont know why...

Thats the drop out of the brake run, going nto the turnaround.

But god I can see the MCBR slowing you down to 1 mph with a steep drop like that :-\

Yeah, hyyyper, that is the drop into the "treble clef" turnaround. Based on the photo angle it's obvious that it is sloping upwards...I don't know how in the world you could say it is going down.

^ r u sure? I looked at the layout on RCDB, and I think thats leading into the MCB, but... oh, no, im wrong, its the lead out. hehehe

yeah it's waaaay too steep to be anefficient ascent, gravity would be too much of a factor

Slope has almost nothing to do with gravity. It's the height that counts. If you're ascend is 90 degrees or 70 degrees, the gravity will either speed up or slow the train down with 22 mph per second.

Yes, there is a small difference, but that's because a steeper slope has less tracklenght to cover, but that difference is very small.

Yep, the only significant difference is the friction from the amount of track and forces.

Look how long the insane MC brakerun is!

You can see it just towers over everything.

It looks fugly as hell, but it also looks like a lot of fun.

What are you talking about? You can easily see thats the decend. fail.

[hyyyper]

look at the slope of the mcbr, its sloping downwards away from the ascend.

You're going to feel silly after all of this.

It's sloped that way because it's going away from you, and you;re standing under it, lol.

its the decscend, look at this closely. I was wrong before, but again, look at the double stacked MCB's right after the nutzo loop, you can CLEARLY see that its the descend. If you think its the ascend, look again.
