Re: Uncle Arly's Dev Topic - B&M Dive Machine 11/08/2013
Here is Project Auger, a B&M Dive Machine which stands at an impressive 291ft. As you can see from the layout posted below, the beginning features the massive drop, a huge swooping Dive Loop, followed by an airtime hill and terrain hugging overbank. After the MCBR we have a layout similar to Krake however the drop here is beyond vertical.
The concept for this project was to incorporate Oblivion: focus on drop with nearly half of it underground and in buildings. Griffon/Sheikra: The large swooping inversion following the drop. And finally, Krake: Smaller, more compact yet thrilling Dive Machine. Whilst these three Dive Machine concepts were fresh and exciting, I wished to add another dimension to all three and sought to combine them all...
Onto simulator shots and theming. I was getting tired of Dive Machines being themed to birds of Prey, so 'Project Auger' if anyone can guess the reference is a drill. As such, it's going to have a mine theme (Yes, I understand the hypocrisy of getting bored of bird themes and then using the cliche that is mine theming, but I love it
