^^ That's also how it is on the real ride, but they don't send two trains at once.

The first thing that I noticed was this: On the turn into the station, there is a small area where the track is pulled up. You could fix it easily though.


Those are some sexy corks!

Looks pretty epic so far. That base is amazing! So are you not going to use laterals because of the base?

There already are laterals, just very minimal, look closely.

It's not a big deal right now, but once you bet the rest of the ride built, you might want to have that final turn raise up if you have the speed. Lightning (Entertainment City)

You're really squeezing all this in too. It looks great.

Aaah an update. It looks very cool for what you got now, i can't say much of it.

Very flowing & well shaped. I like it - Keep up the good work.

Good luck picking that thing up! That has to weigh a ton! It looks fantastic though.

Nice and smooth. What pyro said should be fixed it moves up a tad and comes back down. gump this would be UBEReasy to fix

[Jogumpie]

Lookin' awesome! Are you having max cross ties for the whole coaster?

Yes, that is my plan. The last turn, though, has a little less than max cross ties. Just a minor detail.

If there were 2 trains in the corcks at the same time, I'm pretty sure they would collide.

True. Inverted trains are bigger than ordinary trains and they would hit each other. The thing is that I won't run two trains. Like on the real ride, the part from the top of the lift to the final brakes is one block, so there can't be two trains in there.

I was aware of this spot. I don't feel like fixing it right now. I will get back there once I know what the final speed will be.

I will probably add more laterals once I built more of the track, so I know what I can fit in there.

This part of the ride is all about efficiency, so that is why I made the turn like this. If the train makes it over the last corkscrew, it enters the final brakes with a nice speed.
And yes, it's all a tight fit. I think the scale was a bit small in some parts. Like in between the corkscrews.

Tried it and yeah, it's very heavy.

HAWT!

Can't wait to see more

[Jogumpie]

I'd like to invite you all to come to Oosterhout, Holland, sometime this upcoming August. During the fun fair I will be presenting Batman: The Ride. Just arranged the whole thing, so be sure to get your plane ticket ready.
Yes, this means I have about 7 more months to build the ride.

[Jonny]

WOW! It is going to take you like 7 more months to build this coaster. If you do it will have be a good one!

[DDRman732865]

Well, at least we have a deadline this time...

I never commented on the corks, they look nice, like people said.

[RidesByDaan]

i dont need a plane ticket
i just need my dad to bring my

take the time with building

-killer-

[~stεεlspectrum~]

I'd like to see you spend as much time as you need to build this, so that's good news.

[Maxlaam]

Well, See you guys in 2010 @ Oosterhout we are planning on making this bigger and better than before now we really have our time for this!

[RCT2123]

I like the sound of bigger. I would recommend making a scale...

What I mean is that once Phase is done, we are going to modify it to fit on BTR.

[Jogumpie]

^^Go back to the first posts in the thread and you'll see I did. It was based on an overview picture of Batman in SFGA. I am obviously not going to change what I have now, but I will be 'extending the dick', what means that the diving part into the corkscrew will be bigger than on my scale. As we all know, it is very hard and likely impossible to make full-scale model. That is why I will make the scale bigger along the ride. The loops and the zero-g roll will obviously dominate the ride as they will have to be big enough the give the train enough energy to clear the rest of the twisty course.

I'll try to be there

Seriously.
