Neon NiteHawk - NoLimits Coaster Simulation

It's finally finished, the project that's sat around for years and that I kept procrastinating on.

Type: Intamin lift-based strata.
Speed/Height: 420ft - 104mph
Length: 7674.4ft
First Drop Angle: ~95°
3 trains, 8 cars per train

Look for this track at CoasterCrazy, Coasters2k, and NoLimits-Exhange.

Track is raw handbuilding. Expect it to be a little rough. Also features very intense ejector air, up to -1.7g sustained for a fraction of a second near the end. Also, as pointed out in ratings, there are some intense lats on the ride. 2.1g near the end. I probably didn't notice but it's too late to change.

Edit: Coasters2k link removed as the site is no longer functional.

Once NL2 comes around, I'm considering redoing this ride with whatever editing tools or FVD's that are built in. Completely handbuilding Intamins and B&M's these days results in bad inconsistency and track quality and I should not have overseen the killer 2.1 lats at the end of the ride. Plus I'll get a chance to expand on the scenery which I didn't even show in detail in this video.

@calryamol I made the scenery in Anim8or and 3D Studio Max.

[coasteragent99]

Pretty much all of the 3D objects were made in Anim8or or 3D Studio Max., or a combination of both. I also made all textures with Photoshop and Macromedia Fireworks. (Older software from before Adobe took over Macromedia.) Or almost all of the textures. I used a modified OC concrete texture inside the ride op of the ferris wheel which I forgot to remove later on.

The pumping is less noticeable since this is a front-seat video. And plus the helix tunnel with the "strobe lights" further interferes with being able to see it. I don't think there's a huge problem with the overbanks though; not that I noticed anyway.

I used Anim8or and 3D Studio Max to create the objects.

[coasteragent99]

So a hugeass arguement took place here in the last month and I never even noticed...

This is entirely handbuilt, and I've never been able to completely, 100% remove pumping out of any curve. I did manage the speed pretty poorly near the end though; some of those turns and bankings go too fast.

Most rides' launch accels stay near or below 2. I don't recall seeing any ratings on CC nor NLE mentioning that, though I'd have to look up to verify that 2.5 would indeed snap a neck.

There is not a single rollercoaster on this earth with an accel geforce of 4 g's. you're seriously talking out of your asshole. fucking idiot... Do research first before you go on acting like you know what you're talking about. you don't have a fucking clue dumbass...

[devilsrule200]

There seemed to be a lot of pumping and poor transitions; I believe that was already mentioned on CC. But, the main problem is the 2.5 g stop at the end. That is bound to break a few necks.

[hoopsnyoyo15]

This is awesome just intamin usually doesn't use mid course brake runs they usually use trim brakes

NIght Hawkin' AWESOME!!

[calryamol]

THAT WAZ AMAZING!!!!!!!! that must have took forever to build w/ all the scenery and stuff. Also the coaster waz great roo there were no red or yellow gs at all!! where did u get the svemery from though?????

[andr3w013]

slows down pretty fast at the end, dont you think? was it just me or did i catch -2.5G's of force?

[devilsrule200]

No, I was saying the pumping was mentioned on CC.

And I had a topic posted about this on CC! LOL That is too funny.
