So for my first big NL2 project that I plan to release in full, I've taken it upon myself to do a former CCI RMC conversion inspired by Storm Chaser opening next season at Kentucky Kingdom. Built upon a hypothetical CCI woodie featuring an out and back layout with two legs and an underground dive finale, Gale Force takes elements from Storm Chaser, things I wanted them to do with Storm Chaser that never were, and other RMCs like Wicked Cyclone and Twisted Colossus.
This is exactly how I wanted Storm Chaser to start. Twisting dive (which we got) and then a top gun stall.
It takes this turnaround at a pretty low speed but it is really snappy and aggressive. Got the idea from Twisted Colossus.
After that, Gale Force enters a double down before hitting a small pop of airtime and a Stengel dive interacting with both the track to the lift and the top gun stall.
Alan Schilke would be proud...
After the Stengle dive, the ride just goes nuts. First there's a roll a la Wicked Cyclone, then a really sharp overbank/cutback/thing (if this element doesn't have a name I'm naming it an Ike Turn after the hurricane that knocked out power in my hometown for two days back in 2008), and then it snaps twice through this Lagoon roll before diving into the storm cellar.
Finally, it throws you out of your seat as you exit the storm cellar before entering a corked roll like Storm Chaser's as the finale.
I'm still tweaking trackwork but let me know if you'd like to see anything with the layout changed! Once I start modifying supports and learning how to export I-box rails and ties, there's no going back!
