Dutch Details builds a new looping coaster
"The Gumpinator" to be released next month

Kaatsheuvel, The Netherlands - July 29, 2009 - Dutch Details, a new roller coaster company in the model roller coaster world, is proud to announce their first model roller coaster "The Gumpinator". The ride is designed and built by leading engineer Jogumpie, who has a rich history in the model roller coaster world.

Jogumpie: 'As a freelancer I designed many roller coasters, but personal reasons made me put a hold on my building career. After almost a year I decided to go back to roller coaster designing. Screamin' Serpent Coasters, or SSC in short, used to be my home when it came to publishing my creations. When I returned, the community had started roller coaster companies and therefore I decided to found my own company: Dutch Details.'

Unlike real-life roller coasters, model roller coasters usually don't have their layouts published when the ride is announced. This also applies to "The Gumpinator", of which no elements have been made public yet.

Jogumpie: 'At the moment, the lift hill has been built and the motors have been tested. I won't be able to tell you anything about upcoming elements, but we all know that we goes up, must come down.'

With three pictures of the current state of the roller coaster, Dutch Details hopes to draw your attention to the building process, which can be followed in the appropriate thread on SSC.

Jogumpie: 'One last thing. Remember that I try to take your commentary into account during the designing and building process.'

I love the trail of white moons to keep the chain flowing.
Why are there marshmallows near the gear on the crest?

OMFG Jogumpie is building again!

Can't wait to see it further.
But is it me, or is the pull in very sharp?

Every thing looks amazing, but the predrop. It drops down to much and its very sharp. Glad your building again!

I love the triple footer on the lift supports. Keep it up man! I've always wanted to be able to follow one of your coasters...

No you guys, The predrop is fine. It might be dropping down too much because of a big crest, but it's not sharp at all. Look at Kraken or Apolo's Chariot. Both are very sharp right after the crest.

Gump, those are by far the most realistic lift supports I've seen. The triple footer is awesome, and a big reason why it's so realistic. Looking foreward to more!

You're honestly going to go on, and not give us a picture of the 3way footers? How do you sleep at night.

Glad you pointed out that the predrop is realistic. I chose a specific radius support underneath the crest and with a 5-car train, the train JUST disengages the lift when the chain stops. The sharpness of the pull-out after the crest is typically B&M in my opinion.

I like the lift and predrop, but (This is very nitpicky.) I would suggest you take out the ladder connectors on the predrop, and add more ties. I just think it looks really wierd.
