Well I've been trying for awhile to do a EuroFighter and I've always ended up scrapping ideas but I think I might make a quality coaster this time round (hopefully).

So here's some pictures, let me know what you think of the colors. Track is finalized pending others opinions, train colors are not final.

More to come soon. Comments and criticism appreciated

what are the gs like coming out of the drop. The pull lout looks a little sharp. I know as well that the gs at the bottom of euro-fighter towers can get pretty high.

 

[RCF]

yeah I've been trying to fix the pullout to make it not so intense. G's are reaching 5-6

 

[Jer]

and easy fix is for you to start the pull out earlier the portion of the track thats beyond vertical doesn't need to be that far down.

Also why didn't you name it Sexual Man Chocolate.....I am disappoint.

The lift and the drop look too far apart. It might be because there's no supports yet, or because it's a small drop. What height is it?

 

[RCF]

^Relatively small. It's meant to be something to add to a small park to increase popularity. It's about 100-120 ft I think.

 

[Hixee]

To me the whole top of the lift and drop is mis-shapen. If you look at Speed (I know it's up the higher end of your height band, but this was a good picture):

The rotation from 90* upwards to 90* downwards is almost circular. I think that's why yours looks so odd. After that, the pull out is more gradual and it doesn't seem to 'invert' as much. Hopefully that explains why it looks wrong.

The exit of this element might be slightly painful IMO...

In all seriousness, yeah, the lift top and drop is mishapped. Eurofighters have extreme small radius for their tops then a LONG leadout to keep the forces from spiking too high.

 

[Jer]

the exit isn't like that dumbass, he simply completed the track as it was so that he could ride the ride in continuous mode.

 

[Hixee]

^I've got a feeling it was a joke. Albeit a **** one.

No ****. Something called sarcasm. Look it up.

FWIW, shuttle mode works just as well... Just saying,..

 

[Jer]

^Yes because picking up sarcasm through text is easy.

The fact that he wrote:

after kind of gave it away for me.

I agree with the comments on the drop. Very misshapen. Will also make the support tower hard to build that far apart.

 

[Xpress]

I felt like making a visual, because it's just easier to show someone sometimes than it is to explain it (at least for me):

See how sharp the top is? Once the train gets off the lift chain it should pretty much whip into the 95* section, probably spike up to -1.2 at least in the back car.

Please excuse the crudity of this model, I didn't spend much time on it.

 

[Uncle Arly]

Though, that pull up into the lift is a little shallow, Xpress

 

[Xpress]

Actually I thought it was a bit large, comparing to Speed:

[Hixee]

It's far too large.

EDIT: Wait, I think that's what Ash meant. The radius is too big, therefore making the transition too 'shallow'. I see what he means now. I think.

Yeah, I worded it wrong. :lol:

Ahh, I see what you were saying.
