SheiKra war resurrection 1/18/13

[SCM]

Why is this a war? Well, for those of you who don't know, click this.

I just have one picture so far, and it is for the lift. I'm using blue rods because I have more of those than I do of yellow or granite, plus it just looks cooler IMO.

Well, here it is:


Comment! Criticize! Together, we can defeat cg987!

[Coastergeek987]

Oh, you're making it tube supported? That's gonna be a bit difficult.

[Kool Coaster Kid]

Good luck, the speed wi be hard to keep. I know as I have recreated this also.

it'll look better though

[IOAgeek]

i have recreated this ride last year at the time. It was hard with box supports, my trains were running great, until the ran like crap and never made the immillemen properly/ I still need to finish the final video, but I not feeling it, and I'm to lazy to do it! Good luck on this!

[Coastergeek987]

it'll look better though

It'll also shake more

[Dragon]

nice! the lift looks amazing! make a nice recre!

[CCreator12]

It'll also shake more

not if he does it right

Nobody's ever done this coaster tube-support style for some reason.

Good luck, the speed wi be hard to keep. I know as I have recreated this also.

Thanks! We'll see about that, haha.

Thanks, your honor.

The track is going to be supported like crazy. It shouldn't shake AT ALL actually.

I'll do it better than 'right'.

Thanks for the comments! From last time, I've finished the lift and made the holding brake. Here are pictures.

Comment! Criticize!

Awww, nobody commented .
At least there is now an update!

UPDATE.
From last time, I have got all the way to the drop. I know about the support in the middle, that is a temporary support. It will be replaced with an upside down V support. I don't have a video, only pictures, and I'm still trying to fix the brakerun. I believe the pullout is in proportion to the ride?





Here is the curve. If you ask me to, extra X-ties will be added.


An overview of the ride so far.


I will try to work on the automatic station gates today. I will be using RWT's tutorial, should I shorten it so that there is only 3 gates instead of 5? Or should I leave it as is? Since I'm working on the station, can someone get pictures of the interior and exterior of the station please? Especially interior. Also, can someone find/take pictures of the que line and the exit path?
That is all! Give me comments or give me criticizes!

[SCM]

Sorry for double post, need this thread to be on page one of the construction forum. By the way, update is up above this post.

[Coastergeek987]

I hate to be rude, but I can't see a thing.

[Treeko890coastr]

Yeah the pullout is but not the transaction from holding brake to drop that is a big no-no. The pullin to the drop needs to bee bigger like this.

With a curve something more like that.

[Maxwell58]

The holding brake curve is way too small.

Also, don't double post. It will get you less comments and backfire on your thread.

[william0510]

I hate to be rude, but I can't see a thing.

Well you can see it, But please have better lighting next time. I think that will make it easier to see

[SCM]

Blame the camera! For some reason, it can't take pictures during the day.

Fixed it! Although I forgot to take pictures of it .

Oh OK thanks for the tip! I fixed the curve.

I think I got better lighting!

Update! A small update, but an important part of the ride is pretty much done: the station. It has automatic gates, and well, I'll let these do all the talking:






And here is a video, I'll try and get it to be timed better, but it is the general idea of what I'm trying to do here.



Give me comments or give me criticizes!
That's all for now.

[Coastergeek987]

Mhm, it's a shame that I cannot critique your way you built the station, but the gates seem to jerk and not make a smooth opening and closing procedure.

[finrollercoaste09]

I think the train needs to stop to the station first, then open gates, close and then motor turn on. Otherwise i'ts great!

[SCM]

This is not an update. I have questions.
I need help on this. Sorry if you thought it was an update, I just need help. I was looking at cg987's thread and so some of the comments are saying the pre-drop curve leading into the holding brake wasn't turning to 180º, so if it isn't then what degree is it? Can someone please draw like a shape of that curve? Also, could someone draw me the layout from an aerial view? (I know the layout, but not where things go) Help is appreciated!

Why don't you study the coaster itself? Draw your own pictures instead of having other people draw you pictures.

I have been studying it for months, it's just that I need a view from up in the air, so that I know where everything goes, this way I'm doing it right. I have been drawing pictures, but I'm troubled with the uprising curve into the MCBR. I know it's at an angle, but I don't know what angle it is. Sorry. I don't like asking help from members, not that they don't give good help or anything, they do, it's just that I don't like having other members have to take some time off their schedule just so I can get a helpful picture of the ride that only benefits me and not them. I really wouldn't ask AT ALL unless I really needed it. Sorry if I sound stubborn and I'm not listening to a word you're saying.

[IonZer0]

Maybe this will help

[SCM]

Maybe this will help

Oh my gosh.... that picture helps a lot! Thank you so much!
I've also looked at Sheikra on Google Maps, really helps! I can get a ground view of almost all around the ride, and zoom in on specific parts of track. It's a good thing I'm not making Griffon, I also tried to find Griffon and it took FOREVER. Anyway...

UPDATE! An actual update!
I've finished the pullin and made most of the immelman. Here are some pictures to look at.





I don't know if you can tell, but there are several straight spots on the immelman, the biggest one being this:


The pullout, with a straight spot in it that WILL be fixed.


The pullin that is fixed, I hope you guys like it.


An overview!


What could this possibly be? Go ahead, guess! Hint: It's not the brakerun.


Finally, a test video.


Give me comments or give me criticizes! Also tell me I'm doing this right. The trains have 2 cars, if you couldn't tell, and each car has one battery on it. I will put those batteries under the car later. In the mean time, have a great day!

[IOAgeek]

Looks good,,just add ,ore laterals, to reduce the shaking on the immelemen. Is that track piece the part were the second train stops after the first train goes to the lift?

[msoccerkidm]

There is a splice in the track before the hold mechanism.

EDIT: could the last picture be a water splash???????

[Coastergeek987]

It is the water splash^. I am sure of it. It is blue.

Yep! You're both right! It is the water splash!
I have covered it in blue duck tape, but unfortunately, when I put the water in, it keeps finding excuses to get out of the bowl. I even put clear plastic wrap on the ENTIRE thing, and it's still leaking! What the heck? Does anyone know how to fix this?
