I have an invert with those same colors :p

Looks cool, the heartlining doesn't look too bad either. Looking forward to more!

Woah, first I was somewhat intrested in this, now I am definitely interested after seeing those cartextures for the train. This project looks promising, and I cant wait until Wedensday!

[Steelinwood]

Wow somebody actually took the "sharks" off the inverted trains, your my hero!

[Michael]

Looks cool, but tease us with some actual material, not just the trains. It's hard to tell what to expect if we don't have any real clue.

[Curly]

Uh, the trains are actual material. Custom car textures? Besides, all this is leading up to something which will be in 5 days =P

[Michael]

Sorry, I mean I like the effects and cool CS and stuff, but it all means nothing without some actual coaster. :p

Just my opinion, from the point of view of someone who uses the program daily... quite litterally.

Well, Kristen Bell's character in Heroes has the power to zap people with electricity, so...probably something themed to electricity...so...the Electrical Lightning Kristen Bell Coaster? :p

[Tom]

Kristen Bell is Elle, who emits electricty and is on the border line of good and evil. She was raised by her father Bob, who had the power of turning objects into gold, cant quite recall what it is at the moment, and once she encountered other heroes, mainly Peter Petrelli, Milo Ventemill, she begins to waver on her true allegiance to her father and the company. In episode 3.02 "The Butterfly Effect" Sylar, begins to try to steal her power by beginning to slice her head open, he begins and she gets "angry" and lets out a large Electric Blast which destroys all the security features in "level 5" where all the worst villains are kept. Elle then is told she can no longer work for the company.

In other words, we have another Heroes fan here.

[rollercoasterfreak91]

Wow...way to post all the details. So that's at least three of us now. Sweet.

[Tom]

I was trying to make it understandable for all who didn't know about Heroes. Also this project is keeping my attention and it looks very well done. Let's hope it does not disappoint! Just a friendly reminder Heroes is on NBC Monday's at 9pm/8pm CST for any interested.

[Leigh]

rollercoasterfreak91 - Ya got the right idea!!!

Anyway....

Offcialy the slowest B&M ever. But don't let that put you off!! Its in the style of a Pre-2003 B&M Invert. So we let through some force and whippy-ness ;)

[rollercoasterfreak91]

Wow...you're really good with this photoshop stuff. You're having a lot of fun with this, huh? I've never seen any project with so much buildup. lol
Oh, and I did figure out the name. Good name, but I don't want to spoil it for anyone else who may be figuring it out. Let's just say it was 'shocking.' lol :D

[Michael]

A very strange set of elements. Why that order? I guess we'll have to wait and see how you got that to work out :p.

[Leigh]

Michael - Well, that order hasn't been done before and due to it being in the ground!! Q - is it possible to embed vids on this site?

TEASER VIDEO THIS TIME!!! God, I love dragging this out!! :D

I really need comments so I don't come close to double posting!!! Write anything!! lol. :D
-\\Elle is Comming//-

[Michael]

Looks sweet, but in the video there was a fairly significant pump in the track. We'll see, maybe it was somehow just the video :p

[mitchellPAUL]

It didn't seem to be the video. Maybe it's just the style of transition...?

[Leigh]

Thanks for the comments guys!! It does help me. The section of POV I selected for that video was a very 'twitchy' piece of track. The banking increase's then suddenly goes the other way to make the corner flow better. Well, thats what I tryed to do!!

There will be no pictures/ info tonight. I have re-planned the final ending to this build-up.

I don't see how the theme fits, but I'll be sure to check this out. Seems like it's going to be pretty cool.

[Leigh]

^ Its all thunder/lightning in the NL with a few random rocks!

Anyway...

I like the pacing after the lift hill up to the brakes. I don't really understand why you blocked it so slow in the brake runs and station. The theme was great, although kinda confusing. I'd give it a 9/10.

[SFMMMan17]

It was okay, not too special.

I thought it was pretty slow paced, and it was pretty pumpy and jerky.

I really liked how you built up the hype for the ride, though. :)

7/10

[Michael]

^ I have to agree. Although I liked the color scheme and the visual aspect of the ride, the actual experience was not what I expected.

It was fairly slow, and slow paced. I think if you increased the lift hight a little it might have improved the speed throughout the ride. The first drop was in all honesty just boring. Add a bigger pre drop and make it "kick out" to the side a little. It would make it much more exciting. There were also some noticable pumps, especially near the inversions. The ride was smooth, just tweak some of the vertices.

Overal, not bad. Work on pacing and try to smooth some of the pumps out. I mean it was a good ride, just make some adjustments and it will be something really great. :cool: I loved the layout, a very creative idea for an invert.
