Yeah, so...I've been working on this coaster for like a little over a week and its gone through about 3 changes and its still not done. I've been working on the blocking a lot. I think I might have it down but its pretty hard to get 7 trains to run without stacking. But enough of that. Onto the stats/pictures.

Name: Stampede
Manufacturer: Intamin
Lift Height: 121 feet
Length: 5261.51 feet
Inversions: 9
No. of Trains: 7 (Copper, Gold, Silver, Iron, Gunmetal, Lead, and Steel)
Elements: 97 degree drop (or something like that), 80 foot bunny hill, Corkscrew, Block Brake, Zero G Roll, Inline twist, Block Brake, Heartline roll, 52 mph Launch, Downward heartline roll, air hill, immelman, block brake, heartline twist, block brake, sidewinder turn (I made it up), heartline roll, brakes.

And now for the pics.

I really like the idea of a mini-giga (that is what it is right? :P)

No, its basically Maverick 2, the revenge.

Sounds cool. :smile: It should be interesting with all those trains going.

Everything looks good except for the zero g roll in the last shot. Looks like it snaps the train quite a bit there. Might want to have it start rolling earlier. :001_cool:

^Just like the other Maverick. May I suggest a S-Curve? Or you could fix it up a bit.

An s-curve wouldn't really work too good right there. I'll try starting it earlier like Michael suggested.

It was sort of a little, a... I was refering to the other Maverick. Since they had to replace the roll with a S-Curve. Ah, it was a try.:crying:

Good luck:scared:

I know it was trying to be a joke. But the zero g that michael was talking about isn't horizontal like the one on Maverick was.

EDIT: Here's how it is now. I test rode it and it seemed to be smoother.

I've decided to bump this since I've pulled it off the back burner again. I would like to thank Michael's mystery project for doing so. Anyways, a while back I deleted one of the zero g rolls, added another block, changed the first bunny hill into a norweigan loop and added a block after that to prevent trains stopping on the lift. So anyways, I basically need to finish smoothing out the rest of the ride that hasn't been supported, which is about 95 percent of it. So maybe in a few months it will be done. Here's some photos to hold you off.
