The Tale: A B&M Mega Coaster

[monkeyonatable]

This is my latest creation, The Tale, a B&M Mega coaster. This coaster towers over at 225 feet, runs for 6157 feet, and flys at speeds in excess of 80mph. This coaster is due to come out on Oct. 31st.

UPDATE #1

This is a picture of my Custom Station in progress

Black Train,

Orange Train,

I didnt like the No Limits catwalks because of how they floated in mid air, so I fixed that by taking a I beam up the lift with it

This is the first time I have done flanges on supports

1st half of the layout

2nd half of the layout

And just one more shot of the station

As you can see, Im not done yet, but Im close(ish)

 

[Xpress]

Make those hills more parabolic: http://www.rcdb.com/4005.htm?p=21107

Fix that up, and it should be golden

Technically seeing as its over 200ft high, its not a mega coaster, its a hyper. But then again technically B&M call them speed coasters. Thats just me being pedantic though

The colours are nice and your layout seems good so far.

 

[RCF]

Looks great. Like Xpress said though, fix the hills a bit. Love the layout and can't wait.

I think there is a bit too much orange, I know you have black and Gray, but I think it needs another colour.

I like the layout.

double post :cry:

Ya, I know. I just have always called them mega coasters, but I have always wondered why B&M has called them speed coasters?

 

[Crazycoaster]

Different companies, different names I spose. Speed coasters seem to be more the name of the coaster type, with the clamshell restraints etc.

This, and the fact it gets up to high speeds? Ha.

 

[Xpress]

I call them...

Coasters..

Hmm, for colors.. Maybee a hint of red in there somewhere, like the track ties?

 

[CedarPoint6]

B&M call them hyper coasters.

RCDB calls them mega coasters.


Either way, nice layout. It's very long.

Well, how about I give you guys color options

OPTION 1 (all ORANGE):

OPTION 2 (Orange with a touch of red):

OPTION 3 (all RED):

OPTION 4 (red with a touch of orange):

 

[Xpress]

Hmm, how about an orange spine, with red rails and cross ties?

 

[Screaming Coasters]

The orange was better, don't listen to xpress.

 

[Uncle Arly]

Quick note, it looks like you haven't got track connectors on your supports, make sure you do.

 

[monkeyonatable]

Well, how about this for color

RED TRAIN

ORANGE TRAIN

RED & ORANGE TRACK

Questions, comments, crys of outrage?

 

[Pokemaniac]

Actually, I preferred the pure orange. Looks cleaner, sort of. Tiger colours or whatever they say.

And Arly, B&Ms don't need track connectors. But only have one beam running from the track-node, though. If you want the beams to meet in an A, have the smallest beam hit the other in a free node a feet or so away from the track node.

That's what I meant! :--D

 

[Xpress]

The orange was better, don't listen to xpress, he can't even make decent coasters himself.

You know what, it's your ****ing loss. You don't like it, then **** off.

And you barely know **** about what I've made. I have TOO DAMN MANY tracks, loads of which are WAY better than what I've released by far.

 

[CedarPoint6]

You know, you pretty much negate anything we would do with a post report by going and posting something like that.

Enough from both of you. Neither of you can post crap like that.
