Adelphia (UC) [Download now!]

[Jer]

Adelphia is a realistically built inverted Intamin giga coaster. This is made possible by a 65 mph launch track built at a 45degree angle, this track climbs 150ft and is then followed by an immelman that climbs the other half.

This is my first new coaster in a year due to a loss of interest on my part, so in order to prevent this I'm doing something different. I usually lose interest while supporting my track, so in this case I'm supporting as I build and smooth so I dont lose interest. Hopefully this technique works. This also happens the be the tallest coaster i've ever made so i'll be tackling some new challenges such as controlling g forces at high speeds, and supports.

Screenshots:

I'm looking forward to everyone's feed back and support, as well as finishing my first ride in such a long time. I hope to have this done by the end of September.

That's very interesting. So far, it doesn't look bad, but there isn't much to see.

Here are some more screenshots added more track and supports,

I'm really proud of this layout right now.

I think it would look awesome if you could figure out how to build it around like 3-4 support columns

 

[Antinos]

Once again, it looks promising. I like how the ride wraps around the current support column that you have.

This looks very interesting, and I like the colours.

Like Xpress said, it would be good if you could base the entire ride around a few ride columns.

 

[Jer]

I do like the column idea, but I'm really proud of the layout I have at the moment and it's a little spread to build it like that, but, I'll do my next ride in that fashion.

Some more screen shots:

unfortunately I'm not going to be able to build any today because of work.

 

[Uncle Arly]

The transition in the first screen looks a bit dodgy?

 

[Jer]

^It's the angle, the Gs are perfect, and it's pretty smooth.

 

[Jer]

Excuse the double, Finished the layout, now for some intense smoothing

My favorite part of the ride is this last inversion which is a corckscrew it really just flicks you over, yet still has perfect Gs

The train right before the brake run

I'd really hate to triple post, but It's done! :--D and i'm very excited to release this ride.


looking forward to all positive, and negative feedback!

Overall, not bad. There were a few jerks in the track, but I didn't spot any pumping. It did feel a bit... rigid, but it wasn't too bad. Mostly the trackwork and supports were well built too.

I do like the concept of this ride, the fantasy size, with a reasonable attempt at realism. This ride did OK, but it wasn't quite the full package. I think you might have been better trying to make a smaller, completely realistic version as I can see that that could have worked well.

Certainly not a bad effort though. 7/10.

As I already told you on MSN, I liked the ride. The idea was great, and even though there were a few jerks(like Hixee pointed out), I felt they were actually beneficial. The jerks made the ride feel hand built. The ride had a good mix of elements, and I have to point out that one support in that photo above. You did a great job with supporting on this ride.

8.5/10
