I'm making a TOGO

it's called Freebird and is based off manhatten express. It will have 3 inverisons; a twist and dive, a loop, and a corckscrew.

Under engineering rides is fun

Oh no, another circle builder :|

Anyways, here's a little side project that I'm doing:

CENTROID
A compact fairground ride.

Whats wrong with circle building? I do it all the time.

 

[Xpress]

Ahem:

That took me like 10 seconds, and it's perfectly circular, complete with proper lead-in and lead-out.

I don't understand why everyone uses tools, I never have

 

[Hixee]

I think people should only use tools if it can make the ride more realistic. For example if I was creating a ride like Grand National at BPB then I would NEVER use tools, however if I was making a ride like Maverick I would use tools, it makes the ride more realistic.

Yer, thats because thats one of the prefabs that already come with the elementry. I have the prog too.

Ahem:

It's a TOGO do some research. Plus thats a tool you should know by now I never use tools.

In other news that layout has changed form that picture and as much as i'd hate to admit it Manhattan Express' drops are well built and shaped.

^ I just hopes that you have some "helices of death" on it, because they are awesome.
I actually had an idea of doing a Togo a while back, but it's nice to see one done as well.


And Xpress, using circles kicks ass, it's a lot easier to use them to get a flowing layout between turns with them then using tools.
I also have some Parabolas etc to create perfect airtime hills. The only thing I'm looking for as an aid is a Clothoid to make perfect loops.

 

[Xpress]

S.C., that is an HSAK helix, not one of the prefabs. I can modify that helix in almost every way.

As for tool building sfmmfreak, we use tools to create the "perfect element". It's also an easier way to make a track. I do still handbuild a lot of my tracks, but I resort to tools for loops(except the one on CENTROID), helixes, airtime hills, ect.

Making an old classic woodie, like Grand National, however, we will resort to using our hands, rather than our brains, if you know what I mean.

Don't watch the statistics At exactly that point, the train went down. And I forgot to press F1.... And the train color is not the real color. I'm looking for 1 Do you know a good colour for the track?

 

[Xpress]

Those colors are fine. They suite the rides name.

 

[Hixee]

I agree. I also think that the ride looks awesome in that setting, the way it stands out against the sun going down.

 

[Linus]

Well while I sort out the problem with Cerebus, my woodie, I've started work back on an old Project.

 

[Jer]

Freebirds layout as of now, im still not happy with it though :\:

oh and Loefet it'll have a helix of death after the second MCBR

 

[Linus]

I finished the Layout

 

[Hixee]

^WOW. That looks pretty intense. The 'first' drop looks pretty awesome, I hope there is loads of airtime on it.

As for the rest of the ride it looks a little drawn out, but I does look good with the hills and tight helixes.

 

[Crazycoaster]

Anyone care to take a guess what it is?

 

[Anonymous]

B&M Invert? -_-

 

[Hixee]

^Yeah, it could be.

It's a tricky shot to determine anything from but I would say an Invert as well. Is that some theming I can also see in the picture?

It looks good, I'm interested to see what it will be like now...
