This will be for the model of the year contest. An Expedition GeForce re-creation. First off Poseidon is NOT canceled! Just postponed. I didn't like how it ate speed so much so I'm going to make it an invert or woody when I get back to it. But for now it's Expeditoin GeForce. I just used Poseidon's lift and drop. I re-tracked it and got the drop a bit more flared so it looks a bit better. I should have enough space but if I don't I can just move my ping-pong table. I'll have pics once I get the hill done.

When does the construction start

[Maverix]

Now













Enjoy you GeForce fans:)

[Verwarold]

I think this looks really nice...
Can i get a onride-picture of the drop?
Again, nice work...

[NitroDude319]

Wow that looks really smooth

[Coaster55]

Looks good to me, but it's going to be hard to finish with that height. Could you also get a straight on picture of the drop?

Good luck

[PlanetSaturn56]

Very nice! But there are a few things you can do to make this top notch. First, get us some close up pics of the station! Second, add another support column to the hill support in the center; so it's symmetrical. Also, add some batter braces to the hill to prevent side-to-side rocking. Everything else is lookin' sweet!

[Maverix]

^Ok will do but the station is just Poseidon's But I made it go through the other way so the entry side was right. And I wasn't totally done supporting the hill but thanks for the tip on making it symmetrical.

[coasterfanatic11]

there's something about the pullout that's bugging me...
might just be an illusion?

[Jogumpie]

Try to do more heartlining on the drop. That can be hard. But just hold a rod just above the track that would be the heartline and rotate the track around it.
And also remember that the pull-out of the hill is much higher from the ground than the pull-out of the lift hill!

[Cardsandcoasters]

Look at the inside tube of the real coaster compared to yours.

[Maverix]

Alright thanks guys. CAC I'll go fix that up. I'll fix the drop up a bit and finish the hill tommorow, and hopfully get a start on the overbank. See you tommorow.

[pkiknex25]

BTW, I think the picture CAC posted was taken from the catwalk, not from the ride itself. But I could very well be wrong.

[knexems]

Wow! That's very nice. The turning drop needs to be a little bit more heartlined. Also, on the real ride, the drop keeps on turning then straightens out. You could watch Gumps Expedition GeForce for help.

[Maverix]

O.K. I got the drop more heartlined and finished the hill. It's was hard to get a good pic of the drop's heartlining but I did the best I could. I also started the catwalk(TH's Deluge stairs.)













COMMENT!

[Coaster55]

The drop and catwalk look great, but the pull out of the airtime hill looks too small. Maybe make it a metallic longer.

[DeAzncy]

shouldnt the pullin/out be a bit higher too? i think it should be just one more metallic high(just replace the metallics that you have now with granites)

[coaster37]

something about the drop dosn't look right to me
mabey its just the angle

[DeAzncy]

^the drop is supposed to be like that...it's like the one on gump's SoF.

[nickostick]

Great coaster. The Drop is great but theres something about the hill that looks weird.
