Okay, this by far not my best work, but I think it turned out pretty decently for the time I worked on it.

Intro:

Six Shooter, a winding, intense, fast compact wooden coaster. It utilizes tught turns, quick direction changes, and pops of ejector air-time to supply it's riders with heart pounding adrenaline along it's entire 3,000 ft+ layout. Don't hang on, put your hands up and let your scream out on Six-Shooter,the roughest toughest, fastest gunfighter in the west.

Stats:

Builder: Great Coasters International [GCI]

Height:110 ft

Length: 3,645 ft

Train Count: 2

Elements: Double banked drop, two Rattlesnake turns, multiple high banked sections, a double down finale.

Unfortunatley, I am having problems with the file attatchment, wich somehow seems to have changed, so I can no longer attatch NL files becuase they are too big, which is weird, because usually it works... :confused:

Oh well, I'l have the d-load tommorow. :cool:

Share your comments, criticisms, or compliments :D

Thanks, Michael

The ending is the best part...

Judging by the pictures, the ride looks awesome! I love woodies like this in NL, they come out better than a lot of other types of rides. I can't wait to ride this baby!

[Nate]

Looks great. I could see that being a real design given a few minor tweaks.

[Steve K]

Very nice design! It looks like it was well planned and looks very realistic, save a few sections I think need modifying like Nate suggested. I could also see this more-so from the Gravity Group then I could from GCI...I can't place a reason for that though.

Keep up the good work!

[Michael]

Thanks for the comments guys :D

Dan: Lol, yup, woodies are definatley my favorite to build just for that reason :) Love making the twists, drops, hills, -alright, I just love making every bit of them :D

Nate: Thanks, yeah, I see where too. Around that helix to the right (on the layout perspective). It's a bit tight ;)

Steve: Thanks, lol, I took a bit of inspiration from 3 different coasters: Renagade, Ravine Flyer II, and Boardwalk Bullet, mostly the last coaster though :p. Plus the name and style of the ride are a bit similar... Maybe I was just jealous of the real deal :p

BTW, anyone know a good site to put your downloads on? Because with the new forums, the maximum file attatchment is 97 Kb, and most NL files are way over 100, so anyone know a good site to use? (besides megaupload :p)

Looks great, Mike. From the pictures the layout and terraforming are nice and fit really well together. Can't wait to ride this!

[Michael]

^ thanks, I spent alot of time getting the terraforming to flow nicely with the ride :cool:

But if you guys want to download this tonight, I need a link to a good file sharing website (or if Steve will bump up the file attatchment size ;))

[Matt]

I could also see this more-so from the Gravity Group then I could from GCI...I can't place a reason for that though.

Lol, that just screamed Voyage to me.

Awesome work, can't wait for the download!

[Michael]

^ *whistles to a tune* ...:rolleyes:

lol, thanks Matt :cool:

But, like I said, I am desperatley in need of a file share site...

[apsterling]

Box.net- unless you already have an account there, offers a gig for free, with sharing options.

Personally I use it.

[Michael]

Thanks Brandon for that link:cool:

Here it is, the download, enjoy :)

[Michael]

So, what do you guys think? :D

[Dive Loop Alex]

I love the double banked drop, good design, I am always impressed with wood because of the difficulty of desiging them. I respect it good job ! :P

[Dan]

Frankly, I wasn't too impressed. Compared to most of your other work, the smoothness is really crappy. You have something great with the layout, but I think some tweaks could be made to it. The motions of the ride felt sort of mechanical, that's part of the problem with smoothness. Again, the design is great, but I think you could have executed the idea in a much better fashion.
