Project Ski - B&M. (Update - 14/11/09)

[Uncle Arly]

Up in the French Alps, a new breed of thrill is being born. One that simulates the feeling of skiing for the inexperienced skiier. Swoop down the mountain, take on huge Ski jumps, and even slalom.

Project Ski, Opens soon.

This should be pretty cool.

Its a shame B&M's don't work in temperatures under 3 degrees though

This is true. Ah well, a bit of fantasy never hurt anyone.

I recall I made one of those once. The drop down the hill brought lethal forces, and the pacing was all off. I never even finished trackwork. I hope, and think, you'll do better than me.

Good luck!

Why didn't you make this a stand up? It would be a bit more realistic...

I'm sorry, but the transition in the second pic doesn't look right at all

The other two look good though

It is, I just forgot to chan ge the train type. My bad.

And I agree, Xpress, it's been changed now though.

If this was a real coaster, the throughput would be dire as it's one car trains.

^One car trains?! That's going to make designing a bitch too!

Yep. Ha. But, you can only get the feeling of skiing that way. You wouldn't have a another car blocking you on the slopes, so this is the best way.

^You might as well go for the bobsled coaster then

No, I wanted the look of a B&M...plus, It might have inversions..

This reminds me more and more of the coaster I made. Make sure to include a halfpipe as well, it's just to put a couple of stall turns after each other. Or corkscrews.

How tall is it? I know the terrain in NL doesn't go higher than 80 metres, are you going for maximum height, or off the ground perhaps?

Halfpipe is in the plans. I don't know heights and stuff, since it starts off pretty high to the limit NL will let me.

Here is an editor shot that may help. It's nowhere near the final layout, I'm just playing around. Also, the track always stays within 10ft of the ground. It follows it.

^Stays within 10ft. of the ground? Well what about the immelmann?

Read previous posts in future, instead of trying be smart.

As the black run progresses further into the mountains, riders are sure to be thrilled as they ski through the rough terrain.

Black Run: Go beyond

Since my old desktop died completely, I don't have this track anymore, can a mod lock this please?
