Project Update: Steel Falcon - A B&M Hypercoaster
A 2nd teaser for Steel Falcon is up. The ride is nearly complete.
Project Update: Steel Falcon - A B&M Hyper Coaster Finally getting back to Steel Falcon. I am comfortable with the layout, though some banking adjustments need to be made. I adjusted the height a bit (12 feet taller), and have begun work on the supports.
10 Years Ago Today: Vicious - A B&M Stand-Up Coaster
Ten years ago today, I released Vicious, a B&M stand-up coaster. I was particularly proud of this one, as it was the 1st time I relied almost exclusively on custom supports in NoLimits 1. It is all kinds of wonky, as far as the track smoothing and element shaping is concerned, but I was extremely proud when I finished it.
New Project: Aethon - A B&M Inverted Coaster
Aethon was a mythical creature of Greek mythology - the eagle that tormented the titan Prometheus for all eternity, after he gave fire to mankind. This will be my 2nd real attempt at an inverted coaster in NoLimits 2. Aethon is a big ride - drawing inspiration from Banshee at Kings Island. Thus far, there is a giant zero-g roll and an Immelman loop. I am thinking there will be a cobra roll somewhere, and a couple of corkscrews. I am also thinking about doing a double loop - which I think is a first for a B&M invert. It would be a reference to Aethon’s mission of torment - Aethon flew down from Olympus and ate Prometheus’s liver, which grew back everyday, and Aethon came down and ate everyday. A never ending loop of suffering.
