Hey There Hi There ALL !!
It is time for that woderfull wording called THE UPDATE !!.....
I have been busting my rear here at the shop as well as at home. I do nomatter what put in aleast a hour a night working on
The Parks that I have in progress. :: In The Beggining And MEGA PARK. for now I have some wonderfull pics for
those that are interested......
The Dementional Tower has gone through some better tasking. I redid the rocks and more to make it as close to an impact
as possible. Now remember all this is not RCT3 where it would look a whole lot better. Any way here are 2 pics of what I have done.



Ya Know Just Looking at the pics . I think that there is just a tiny bit more to do. Like put some rocks and stuff in the supports
and odds and ends . I got it now. All In All I did redo a few things and well ya all be the judge of this one.

NOW FOR THOSE ANTICAPATION AND PATIENCE HAS ALMOST REACHED THE END !!! SATANS FIRE HAS BEEN WORKED ON RE-WORKED On and ( sorry for the caps , I am so happy ). Torn apart and the ground re-worked all the heck with it you now what I mean ALOT OF HARD WORK IN PROGRESS and still have a ways to go. Here is an UP date on what I have done so far. Some of you will definetelly LIKE it others will nit pick t it , but you know what I want that way. ...

AS usuall I will have to post again following this one I will go past the 10 pic limit ( AS USUALL !!! )
Ok These four are kinda self explanitory. The first on is the Coaster launched lift hill shooting the ride through the roof as to speak.
The others are meirelly just and extension of the house. In that area ( TWISTED MIND AGAIN ), this ride is goig to be full of that twisted ,
CRAZED mixed up ideas.... In the area connected you can see more work done here also. LOOK FER THE COASTR in each pic. It is there with only one exception I left it out so that you can see the works..... ENJOY THESE WILL HAVE A SECOND POST UP
READ ON LOOK ON , PAY ATTENTION YOU MAYJUST MISS SOMETHING !!! look very carefully.....

Second Post.....

Once you leave the station you go up via small chain drive then you are launched up , up , up from underground. As you travel up the main hill you go through the little house , then up through the attic into daylight (nightimes better ). As you travel along the skyline at 35mph you then get the uneasy feeling that you are falling and falling fast. Just when you think that things are not right yo go back underground and then get flung upside down and barrel roll over The little dipper. WHAT A RUSH THAT WAS. As you come back down you go back under ground as turn and come back up tp day light. As you crest the smal hill you see a lone wall and what was left of a tower of somesorts. OOH NO , OOH NO Your gonna hit the wall. Then suddenly you fall just before you think you hit the wall ( IMG )


As you have just that quick momment in time to regain your thoughts ( SO YOU THINK!!) you are plunged back down into the pits of hell . Then you get another dose of what SATAN has to offer You get Turned upside down again , but only this time you have a very small chance to see what may be instore for you. The scenery Gives yo hope that you will survive the ride ., Dont worry kiddies it is just a ride,,,..


Once you make it through the loop you go down and around underground , you make a right angle turn to a left angle turn then you come flying out of the ground.. As you come up in the middle of the loop you have the sensation that you are slowing down >>> YES <<< just for that brief momment to get a better glimps at what you missed the first time around ( THE LOOP )


OK oK NO more scaring the Kidies for now. This last pic is an over view of what I had to complete to get this ride in place. The ground had to be redone severall times over. In between That dredded ERROR trapper valdation unknown stuff I finally got SATANS' FIRE underground and up and running. THERE YA HAVE IT ALOT F WORK FOR ONE HELLATIOUSE COASTER ( pun intended )


What You see here is NOT EVEN HALF OF THE COASTER. THIS IS JUST A VERY SMAL AREA.
Hope you all enjoy these as much as I did building this TOODLA LOO for now..

Satain's Fire looks very well put together. A coaster that is partially above & below ground, is something I call "submerged". I know how tough it is to do tracks like this, because it's the favorite type of track design that I LOVE to do. My best tracks are submerged designs.

It's especially tough to rework a launched lift hill though. That's probably why you got those error trappers. Seems that you can't delete the track working backwards, or downhill. (or is it forwards/uphill?? I forget.) I ran into that problem a lot. I just saved the game, before I altered the launch.

The doggie door? I'd loose it. If you want a roof above it, create a tower at that end of the structure to cover it, and have the track exiting from a wall. But I'd keep it this way. Just loose that roof thingy. It kinda looks like it was tacked on as an afterthought. It's floating and got that skeleton on it, (which can't bee seen by the riders anyway.)

The Dementional Tower looks a LOT better. Great rework. Only thing that makes it less believable, is the ribs on the domes. (Probably too late to use something else, eh?) But the rest of it? Very nicely done. It'll look better once you "hang" some rocks in the wooden supports. Kundos! I'd like to get this park when it's done. Worth the wait if you ask me.

Keep it goin'!
You're HOT!

TSSSsssss!

Looks good, NHB! The new tower looks GREAT and Satan's Fire is very.. evil? O_o

[Nighthawkbalt]

Thank You all.,
The Dementional Tower has more done to it , the rocks falling off of the supports look pretty darn impressive.
I know I DO NOT condone C...H...E...A...T...S but in this case YYyyaaaa HHooo for 8 cars trainer 1302 it done me a world of favors..
That darn zero clearance W....O....W puts things in a whole new perspective.
As far as the meteors well I could have gone in and changed the outer demensions of the domes and made them look like rocks , but the Dementional tower like "Tiny Tiki Drinks" in the begining of the park was a quick fill in. Ya know kinda like an empty space that needed fillling ( DONT GO THERE ALL!!! LOLOLOLOLO ) 'dint sound right I know but yo get the idea.
The Doggy door on the lift hill on SATANS' FIRE did get removed and the skeleton also. To build a tower on the back end of the house would take a massive overtaking. I would have to lower the land to bare minimum and remove track sections , and then rebuild it all over again. I will figure out something to make it more presentable here soon. In the mean time I am finishing up the rest of the land and other track coverings as well. I want to get this one finished MY FIRST REAL "THEMED" Roller Coaster.
Pics will be up as soon as I edit them all ..............

Woo! Can't wait for those!

[Nighthawkbalt]

Pics arriving in a couple of days hehehe

[Nighthawkbalt]

Well Hi there ALL ,

The Dementional Tower has had it FINALL make-over. I took out those domes and put some rocks (mountain pieces) to
somewhat look more like meteors. I also did some other odd ball stuff also like rocks in the supports and so-on.
You have to look carefully some you will see some you will not , but they are there.
SO ON WITH THE SHOW... THIS IS THE FINALL STAGE OF THE DEMENTIONAL TOWER .. It look more realistic this way.....


PIC 2



Ok I was told to loose the doogie door on the Launched Lift Hill House On SATANS' FIRE and try to do something a weeee-
bit different , Well I think that there is something diiferent here . It took alot of tearing down the track and land malipulation
but I got it done .......

PIC 1


PIC 2


PIC3



On the One twisting ( barrel roll) section of the ride I just couldnt figure out what to put there. So I
Pondered , and wondered on what to make for this section of the ride .. ( SEE PICTURE BELOW )



^^^^ This Pic gives you an idea of what section I am refering to ^^^^

So I came up with this Idea for this perticullar section of the ride I Call It CRYPT-O-TWIST. As you come up from under the ground
ans flip upsidedown into a barrel roll , then you traverse right back down into the ground again. In the midst of the barrel roll
you are going into a crypt then back out again.

PIC 3 >>> I know There are Three pics in all the third is just another view. Sorry it , the picture,

CRYPT-O-TWIST No big deal at this time. There are alot more comming so hang in there OOOoooOooOo !!!
There Ya Have An Update for now , COMMENTS ARE A BLESSING !!!!!!!!!

It seems that the area surrounding Satan's Fire, is a bit... bare.
I wonder if some volcanic scenery like Argonath Water/Fire objects,
along with some mountain scenery objects, and some demons,
might work well for the theming of the coaster?

Colorable bubbling swamp goo, orange waterfalls,
orange FLOWING water tiles and colorable whitewater objects
make some great volcano effects. Just some experience advice...

Some water objects are color sensitive. I've discovered that
some objects provide a "brighter" interpretation to colors than others.
So while some water objects might look great using the bright orange,
other water objects might be too bright using the bright orange.
So you might have to go with the darker orange instead.

A few ideas for a Volcano Coaster.

[Luketh]

Lol, there goes Wolfie, linking to his own coaster. Looks pretty good, I like the two towers addition to the station, but yeah, a bit of lava would look GREAT in this situation.
