Yes, my coaster Eruption has been cancelled, or at

least postponed. But I am going to move into a bigger
house, and begin major

construction when we move.

My next coaster will be a *dueling flyer*.

No, that is not a mistake. A *dueling flyer*. I have planned this
for a while,

and I have some amazing ideas. I mean

*U*N*B*E*L*I*E*V*E*A*B*L*E*!!!!!!!&#

33;

Possible things include: real dropping floor, real reel-back effect

(putting the car in the flying position while
in the station, great theme, great

story, maybe even wooden cars (whittling).

*PLEASE READ* I need

help with something. I am one of those SS people that can't finish models. I
want to finish this one though. I thought you would want this kind of model. My

problem is that I have no
motivation. I will have constant updates, but

motivation is the key. The more motivation, the more likely it
will get finished.

If you want to see it done (possibly with a video ), motivation please.

Thanks a million.

Sincerely, Shamu.

well this sounds like a really great idea, i would love to

see you finish this, this would make you a star, and every one will love you even more,

and everyone will know you, just think of all the fame and glory that will ascend from

this.

[sixflagsfreak56]

Thats sounds amazing! And I'm with you, I

never finished anything. I hope you can do this cause that just sounds amazing!

I hope you get it done! And for a question, Do you hve anyidea how you will

raise and lower the cars in to the flying possition?

[CostaKid]

Well done Shamu!! I think that even if you

dont finish (but you will) the dropping floor and working trains alone will make the

record books. Also, what kind of themeing will you be using?

[Metalhead]

I tried making pneumatic drop out floor once but I

failed, but im sure you can do it.

[GregM]

Shamu, I would love to see you build this

coaster.

[Ash]

i thought of making something like a hydrolic lift arm

to put the cars into the flying position, however it seemed to complicated

but i hope you can do it

[Westside7th]

Dueling flyers is very unique. But, if you don't

have motiavtion, it sounds to me like it isn't fun for you. If you aren't going

to have fun doing it, then don't. My motivation is the finished project. Also, I

think a reel-back mechanism is a waste because it will just weigh down the cars too

much.

Well done

Shamu!! I think that even if you dont finish (but you will) the dropping floor

and working trains alone will make the record books. Also, what kind of themeing will

you be using?

Fire and Water, maybe

more complex things like Lava, Magma, Inferno, etc. for Fire. As far as Water goes,

maybe Aqua, Hydro, or just Water. Thanks for the comments, guys.

I've been working on the station for about 1/2 an hour - 1 hour. It looks nice.

It's big too. And something special. The more compliments and requests, the

more pics. Yay, Hendrix style. LOL.


mod: Use edit command,

staff should know better.

[coasterfreak11]

Hahah!! Thanks!! That actually

gave me a chuckle! I hope you finish this! I want to see a coaster finished

by you and Tyrant! ( and more from sixflagsfreak )

[joshg678]

I would love to see bunches of construction pics, but

when you take, do not take 50 of the exact same thing, like some people do



but

This will be the best coaster here, and i think sscoasters, bgtking, and i should get to

gather and make a record book for this stuff.

[Shamu]

Majority of the station is complete. I still have to put the

track and a lot of the mechanisms in there though. I'm currently working on the

retracting floor. I think I'll have two lifts, our four if you're counting both

sides. My question is: do you want an inverted lift, a lay-down lift, or both (like:

lay-down for both on the first, inverted on both for the second)?

[CostaKid]

Heres an idea: put the first one inverted(of water) and the

first (Fire) regualar, but under water's lift. Then switch for the second lift. Hope

yall uderstand.

[Shamu]

I understand. I was thinking about just regular lift with

an X style drop, with the raven turn. And another poll: Flat-Roofed Station or

Pointy?


I am currently working on the dropping floor mechanism.

It's actually pretty good. And I'm going to decide which is Fire and which

is Water.

[Metalhead]

Is the floor mechanized?

[joshg678]

im sure it is, or do you mean motorized, if not then i

hope it is, because that would look so cool.

[Shamu]

Yea, I'm attaching the floors together now. I

think I'm going to cover the floor with some kind of rock pattern out of a printout

or drawing.



I'm working on the trains as we speak, or

post, or whatever

[sixflagsfreak56]

Cool! I can't wait for this to be done!

Good luck! And trust me, you'll need it.

[Shamu]

What's that supposed to mean?

[Westside7th]

Well, a dueling flyer is a big project. You are going to

need a lot of luck to make this work. It is really hard to get cool elements into a flyer

before the speed runs out.
