Ok, so I was inspired by SS:RBP and other compact rides like Fahrenheit...

TeMpO is a somewhat Mavy-ish Intamin with no inversions, just hills and turns, so thus I have dubbed it a "Mini - hyper."

It has 5, yes 5 trains with 3 cars per train, 12 people per train. The ride is relatively short, the meat of the ride lasting ~45 seconds. Its unique features are a hammerhead, an airtime hill in the dark, and an extremely steep yet not quite vertical lift.

The music video features some 'different' music to go with the rides name, --->>>TeMpO<<<---, I hope nobody is offended, *cough*Michael*cough*.

(Note: This is my first coaster to use a lot of vertecies, may not be very smooth)
Everything done by hand as usual...

I apologize for the quality, I have no idea why it turned out so bad.

Is the lift hill and the first drop the same angle, because that would be very unrealistic, other than that I like the Xcelerator inspired colors. the hammerhead seems really tight. Good job keep it up.

Xcelerator was never that dark/red. It has been and still is coral, but it has gotten lighter.

Thanks, I used a color wheel, I never thought of Xcel until I saw the final colors, hahaha. To answer your Q Jumpman23, no, it's not the same angle by far. Thanks for the feedback, but the hammerhead really isn't that tight in the first photo, I just changed the Field of View so I could get some cool shots.

Can we see a side view of the lift and first drop?

Sure. I got a bit carried away though and took a few extra.

I don't think I like the second hill, kinda loooks rct-ish.

Due to the fact that it's only a 3-car train and supposed to be as compact as possible, I think it's realistic, just different. Look at some of the stranger maneuvers on newer coasters, (Maverick, various Eurofighters... etc.). Personally I think the hill rides smooth and it literally gives perfect floater air over the top.

Thanks for your input though; I'd like to see more criticism, it'll help me improve my coasters in the future.:thumbup1:

Well, in my opinion the colors are pretty ugly. Unless your going for a christmas coaster that is. If you kind of want to stick to the same color scheme maybe make the supports a real light blue/teal and the track a really light red/pink.

Really?... Is it the trains? I mean, I don't want to make it anymore Xcel-ish than it already does. :unsure:
