Update! We finished Nitrous, the launch is fully automatic and it speeds through the layout. I also built a ferris wheel as one of the flat rides. Skip the pics, here's a video.

Now that is what I call automation. Flawless work here guys, flawless work.

I really like the concept of building a themepark. It must be really fun to watch all the rides.

The whole thing looks great. The launch works really well too but I thought it would be putting quite a lot of stress on the chain dog as it rapidly accelerates, I may be wrong. I'm just wondering how long it will last but it looks great right now. Any clue as to what other flat rides are coming?

[A.S.C.]

^That's why it has a tension wheel. The force on the train dog shouldn't be as intense as it looks.

Well, it has been too long since the last update.

This is looking amazing. I have to mention the lack of flat rides though. Keen to see the drop tower mechanisms in action!

This is looking fantastic. It's not common to see a unique layout on a eurofighter, but you've certainly succeeded in making one. I like the helix you added at the end of the launched looper too. Nothing wrong is standing out to me, so keep up the great work!

[Helmut]

Great to see that entire room filled with a bunch of coasters and flatrides!

[CW5X]

How much do I wish this place was a full size theme park? Sooooooo very much. Words don't really do this place with all its coasters justice.

In the 4th pictures, you don't add the tubing in a x-tie !

Good news everyone! We are all clear to display the amusement park at our school during the talent show.

Oh, and here is another video, a video of the automation.



And here is a better picture of the station.

this park is so awesome i had to get to my pc because my phone wouldn't loud the page (true story)

[Josh Monster]

Thank you.^

This station is doubling as our train station also, you can see the platform below the coaster station.

We are also thinking of names for the Eurofighter, we were thinking something like Snake Pit or Python Because of the station style and the twistyness of the ride. Feel free to give suggestions.

[Witting]

snake pith sounds good there are a lot of coaster who are called python

Well, the flat rides are here!

Haha me too. Thanks.

That is actually to keep the car from rolling away while it is in the station. Josh thought the same thing before I told him what it was for. If I have time I will make it nicer.

Thanks for your input.


Well, it is about that time to update.


What could it be?!?


For the mechanism, Josh duplicated my automation for the shuttle coaster.


Video!


Train Track is complete, minus the tubing, which we will need to buy. The train itself is in prototype stage, will show pics when it is riding around the track.


Comment! Be harsh!

This amusement park is getting better every time you update it!

[CW5X]

I'm sure we'd all love to be harsh but it's hard to be when everything looks this good. But I will be anyway. There's a huge mess to the left in the final picture. There. Harsh enough for you?

[timtimlaz]

How to you make the train track curve? Do you make the rod bigger on one side and smaller on the other creating the turn or what what do you do.
