Lochness Monster Recreation

[Chris]

Here's an old project of mine. One of the few I'm proud of and would like to share. Enjoy!

That is pretty cool, though those cliffs are a little to steep to have grass on them. You might also want to remove that support growing right throught the pathway. I like the way the loops look.

Thanks. I consider this project to be from my "noob days". It's almost a year old now. Not to reject your suggestions, but I doubt I'll ever go back and edit this project at this point.

I do have another BGE influenced project in the works though. *Shhh* :wink:

Wow. Honestly, this is an awesome recreation. The layout is as perfect as RCT3 will allow, actually. Some supports are out of place, and there are a few things that the landscaping needs, but other than that, this is a great recreation. This is one of my favorite coasters, by the way.

[Chris]

Thanks again. It was challenging to take on one of the most picturesque coasters in the world. And I agree, I'm even impressed that I managed this as a noob.

Nice! It looks pretty much like the real one!

[Nethero]

Hey! Now that I look at it again I remember riding a simulation of the coaster before.

[Chris]

My video? :noob:

[Nethero]

No. When I was in a fair once, they had one of those rumble chair theaters that was about roller coasters. So it was like watching a POV of it while being tossed around by your chair.

I don't really like the gray paths. But if they are for the realism, then well, that's good. I think some of the other paths would make things better!

[Chris]

We have one of those in Pittsburgh. They made one of the two options after a defunct coaster that we had at Kennywood, our amusement park.

I actually rode the real Steel Phantom. Here's what I learned.

Arrow coaster + 80mph + Sharp turns + 4 inversios = PAIN

[Nethero]

Then why was it your Ava for so long?

[Chris]

My old avatar was the Phantom's Revenge, from when Kennywood reprofiled the Steel Phantom into a hyper coaster.

Here's what we have now. mThe first and second drop are the same, but the loops were replaced with turns and crazy airtime hills. Much better IMO, though I miss having a looping coaster: CLICKY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCdWwIPZaVk)

Great recreation! I always have a hard time with the arrow box sports and it looks like you got them perfect! Nice work!
