I made one of Behemoth! It's on the ride exchange. I used the hyper-twister coaster with the regular, not BM, trains.

Anything by Prior and Church is hard. There are so many twists and turns that just can't be properly done in RCT. But the hardest? For me, the Giant Dipper at Ocean Park (1924-1936). There is so little photographic evidence available that recreating it is a real headache, especially the seaward swoop curve. If you download Steve Franks' recreation over at rctstation (now functioning as an archive) even he testifies to this.

P.S. Or maybe the Kiddie Bobs at Riverview.

The Mindbender at West Edmonton Mall. It would be hard to fit all the loops and turns without it looking separated.

[Loserface300]

First off, it does not exist. It's behemoth/ Second, it's not impossible. it's pretty close to nitro. Just some minor changes.

Uhhh... check this out...


The real Behemoth.

I think it might be Joker's Jinx. At least from a support designer's point of view.

Yeah, mindbender is hard because the loops are actually touching eachother.

I don't want to harp on all these Canadian rides, but another ride at Canada's Wonderland would be hard to re-create is the Vortex because you'd have to recreate the Mountain as well. Same goes for trying the archy on Disney's Space Mountain.

[Upperlevel the great]

Ok, sorry to double post, but I made the mindbender, no scenery, no landscaping, just the coaster, but it is from memory.


as you can see, the loops still are not perfect.

[dcornel]

You remembered all of that? How many times did you go on the ride? I can barely remember where I park my car every night, and I have a driveway. Cool.
