:: The Unknown ::

yeah, that is a preety creepy awsome name.

dcs, I was referring to an old Iron Maiden song ... about flying too close to the sun ...

Ive also got some very nasty tricks Im going to try and use for the tunnel segments to give new meaning to that name.

Ohh I can't wait [devilish]

Oh ok TConwell...my fault.

OOO I like tunnel surprises Real haha.

Surprises are gooooooooooooooood! [LOL]

No suprises, yet.

The ride look a bit too long for my taste. How long is it? Anyways I'm sure its great fun.

It is one of my longer rides, thats for sure.

However the first half runs like a mad man over monster sized hills. The second half makes a break for the underground several times as well as enters some powerful helicies and lots of smaller - more intense hills.


But its 4814ft for the record. It runs 3 trains almost TOO efficiently. Its crazy.

Ive been trying to get the dual tunnel part to work and sadly it just wont work on this ride. I didnt plan far enough ahead, so Im having to redo that terrain and get rid of it.

This also means less work. If things go well, this could be a next week release coming from the ashes of the Hard Hat Area.

sorry it didn't work out for you, but, at least its release is coming soon.[pshades]

hmmm how long ago did you start working??? I never seen this recently???

I remember this thing, it looks pretty sweet.

Certainly does look sweet. I don't remember this either, but it should be another great coaster. With all the new GG style woodies coming out or being worked on lately, we'll sure be in woodie heaven.

Edit: Don't missinterpret that. Especially you Coolbeans.

i remember testing it a long long time ago! It was fecking sweet then, looks amazing now. It was alot different when i rode it though.

The ending helix has had to undergo some reworking and I turned the small hop-turn before the ending helix into a 90 degree banked turn since I didnt feel pulling 2.2 lats would be pleasant (could, but not with airtime) and while this may lower intensity, it would overall add to fun factor since it unbanks from that right into an intense helix.

Sounds nice, any new screenshots?

I can get some tonight. Im also starting another woodie a bit closer to an out and back but I havent decided to go large or small. Im setting up terrain right now.

There is a slight glimmer of hope that this can be done. There are some insanely complex supports that need to be made to fit some really tight spaces. I am not entirely sure if it can be done but if it cant, I will release to the scrap yard for all to see.

I might be able to do some supports if you'd want. And if I do, think of it as payback for heartlining my mini hyper.

Please stop teasing brother ...

Sorry for the tease but its the truth. There will have to be some crazy but extremely rigid structure to hold up the lateral forces of the helix UP over the dual tracks below.

Not to mention the helix goes round that way twice and both times pulls over 1.6 lats. :S

I've been on it, remember? However, many says that you could get clever and have it supported by another ... although, that could mean opening some now healing wounds someplace else ...............

I am looking for three testers to give me detailed feedback on this and whether or not it should be finished. Much of the 2nd half was completely replaced.

i could do it tomorrow night.
