Rocket Power

[ArrowOwnzU]

I started working on this while I was watching Rocket Power. So there's the name. Ironically it's an Intamin Rocket Coaster. Here's a few shots of it.

I like what I see so far! Plus that was one of my favorite shows forever so thats a plus!

[Michael]

Looks good, but the twists on that tophat look awfuly intense :unsure:

But I'm looking forward to more.

[ArrowOwnzU]

They are, I'm trying to fix them.

Edit, I think I might have fixed it. Also, here's a few more pics

Sorry If I seem like I'm being too critical :p

I just noticed that if you changed the profile of that curve to something like this, it would increase the airtime at the top, and increase the g forces pulling out of the hill. :cool1:

Looks good though!

I dunno about that. I changed the hill last night when I made the pullout from the overbank to the hill less severe. But I'll see what I can do.
Edit: I changed it to something similar to that and now it pulls -1.1 on the hill. Wow.

[Michael]

^ I also don't really know the speed it's traveling in that section, so it might be best to be left how it is :p

Good work though! I'm really fond of the layout

[ArrowOwnzU]

You take the hill at about 40.

EDIT: I've started work on the launch supports and have a screen showing the max amount of air on the bunny hill. I also added a pic of the current support progress.

Anyone have a problem with supports going in the station?

This project seems well done!! Great job so fare. I look forward to seeing it more complete! I like what I see though:thumbup1:

[ArrowOwnzU]

Another update. Day off = Progress. Any criticism or comments on the supports is needed.

Support Work is now complete. I need a test rider, please pm me or IM me on Aim.
EDIT: Come on? NOBODY!?

[The Storm Runner]

Sry, I have 1.55 It looks really good though! :w00t:

[ArrowOwnzU]

I'm gonna try downgrading the coaster and see what happens.

EDIT: It works. It's a bit more extreme in the air hill and helix but it works. I'll send it to someone via Aim.

[coastermatt]

Send it too me, I love messing with coasters! *cough launchd cough* =D

[ArrowOwnzU]

Here you go. I have versions for both 1.6 and 1.5. Colors have been updated with help from TSM.

[Tom]

I like it. I don't see any problem with it. Flows well, but going from the overbank to the airhill type thing, it seemed to buckle a bit, but other than that.

8/10-a little short.

[CedarFair Kinda Guy!]

It's really smooth, really short, I really only like the top hat and bunny hill, thoughts were the highlights for me. Other wise the turns were basic.. Great support job!!
