These trains are heavier than the normal train would be so to conserve speed and lessen the force on the train/car/rider. In real life this problem doesn't exist as much seeing as some trains are lighter on inverts, and also that if they are heavier it isn't by as much proportionally. You can afford to make the pullouts tighter on inverts, but I don't see the advantage aside from saving space and pieces. Working it out physically with circular motion and forces doesn't make sense.

The pull-outs on inverted coasters are smaller because the train is underneath the track and travels along a path with a bigger radius. Bigger radius means smaller G-force.
Why not?Working it out physically with circular motion and forces doesn't make sense.

one of those butterfly turns would be really cool but like schrubs said it would take out a lot a speed.

Okay, no more talk about the butterfly turn, we know it sucks up speed. No need for spam.
I know why things are smaller on inverts, although Fantom sort of lost me at proportionally. I don't really know what that has to do with Deluge, though...

thats a beautiful transition into the drop. The pre-drop looks a little sharp, though.

Sharpness in the predrop is okay to me. Real B&M Inverted Coasters also have a sharp predrop like that. Continue on.

Bwaaaah! Intamin!
V Gotta fix this V
Well, somewhat Intamin, but mostly unaffiliated with any designer.
In other words, just a loop.
Here's the old loop before I changed it to something a bit more wider:
Fear the lack of feet!
I may make it just a teeny bit skinnier, because it's almost too wide just at the top. If I do, I'll edit this post.

nice socks.
in other news, the loop (except for the linear view) looks great.

Is it smooth and long?
Posted 01 March 2008 - 09:35 PM
Skycar, the unknown accelerator!
You trickster, with your intamin loop. All you have to do is fix the sideways thing and it'll look good. I see you're going inverted through the loop. Do I sense something like Snake-eyes?

As much as I love pretzels, no knot.
Well, it's gonna be a dive loop, 0-G, random turn; the usual. It's slightly similar to Snake-Eyes, but not really because it won't be a true corkscrew.
Plus, it won't be very similar at all; it's near(ly) what makes Deluge Deluge.
And how did nobody notice the WCC?

That loop looks almost too tall for the car to make it through... but I imagine you have tested the element and proved me completely wrong
