^ I'd love to hear this voice ;-)


Just a small update, I've not finalised colours yet. But supporting and terrain work is well underway. In this shot you can see the "flying-hill" (is it air-time if you're lying down..?) I put this in because I think it's something that's not used enough on flyers. Airtime lifts you off the restraint! so it technically makes you fly. I love the pops you get on Air, so I made this hill which holds it for longer!

 

[Uncle Arly]

Looking good! Air's is really fun so as this is bigger, I imagine it'll be really nice to ride!

 

[Antinos]

I love the look of the ride. The elements that you have selected make it look like it will be a very fun ride when you release it.

The recent cold weather has brought along some heavy fog, but the station is still getting built.

Still not finished it yet but it's coming along.

 

[bob_3_]

double post.

 

[unlimitedcoaster]

Looks pretty cool.

 

[bob_3_]

Almost done supporting, and finishing the cartextures. I think I'm going to go for the white track.

 

[Jer]

That car texture is sex, the whole ride looks bad ass, any estimate on when it will be complete?

 

[bob_3_]

^ I expect probably over christmas or the new year. I've not actually got much more to do.

 

[bob_3_]

Here's a screen of the ride, now almost complete. I intend to release it on Sunday 19th of December

I've got for a pure white colour scheme for a few reasons. Mainly because I love the way it looks and suites the vibe I want. And also because I've not seen anyone release a ride with this scheme! Probably because it's usually connected to being the default colour, but hey I think it stands out abit.

 

[Xpress]

Lemme guess, red trains too?

Looking really nice, although I'd like to see some rocks implemented into that cliffside in the far background. You know, to make it more 3D, rather than just a flat vertical wall?

 

[Snoo]

Looks delicious. Please get a POV!

Background

An unusual white bird of prey has been spotted on a small island inbetween europe and the arctic. Locals from neighbouring lands have started escorting people to witness this beautiful new species, dubbed "Phoenix of the North". It's large and white, with dark blue markings all over it's body. It glides round the island's cliffs and scowers the seas for food. A special bird watching hut has been built in the centre of the island to provide the best views.

Ride Design

This ride is a B&M and Vekoma hybrid, taking feautures from both style flyer. It's graceful, yet powerful and full of fast gliding swoops and turns. The first half of the ride provides and a unique flying experience, with an extended period of weightlessness and interaction with the terrain. The second half is about getting your heart pumping and your head spinning.

Notes

You need trackpackager to ride

This ride was created using Newton 2

Big thanks for Ed, Loefet and Andre for testing.

This ride was amazing! The way that it weaves through the terrain! 9.5 The way it dives off the cliff I really couldn't find anything wrong with this ride!

 

[jokerman]

^And yet you atill knocked off 0.5 marks?

 

[Hixee]

Really nice, I often find flyers quite tricky to rate because they're not the easiest coasters to ride in the sim, however, I shall try...

I really liked the layout. I thought the combination of inversions, swooping dives and terrain interaction was great and the trackwork was basically flawless. I liked the sensation of dropping from the cliffs and also rolling over some of the hills and mountains. I couldn't really find much to complain about to be honest!

Really liked this ride, and I was very impressed. Well worth the wait! 9.5/10. Great job.

Its because there is always room for improvement :wink: and I didn't like the lead into the pretzel loop.

Make your mind up.

 

[nealbie]

I read this topic as "People of the North", promptly clicked and was then bitterly disappointed.

It's not a half-bad cred though.

Here's a POV for all your non NL folk.
