  1. Whats with the turn out of the Zero g roll, the whole thing should be straight and lead into the cobra roll. This is how you could do it: first bulid the zero g roll part all in a straight line, no curves, then do a couple of level straight sections out of the zero g roll, thendo the cobra roll the same as how you have done it, then out of the cobra roll do an upward section of track, then a right turn, then a left turn, then a helix up to the brakes.
  2. Which is interesting because in Vekomas early days they outsourced to Arrow. Maybe ABL is who does Vekomas aussie projects.
  3. Ok, now i get it, very ingenieous, i intitially thought the rail bended like how a monorail works. But on the B&M does it rotate clockwise, or anti clockwise? Edit: wait, now i fully get it , there is actually a track rail right in between the other two, directly above the red circle on the front of the train that is curved, so when it moves into place, other track segment (in the pic its in use) is in the middle of the other two rails.
  4. Im curious too, but rather with the station on Air, i have been told its like the station on Vikings revenge, but that is just a gate that boats bump off, and there is no track. but air has two rails with wheels on 3 sides, so it would be more complex.
  5. because maybe thats who they picked to build it.
  6. They never had a single looper, its just creative licence, the thing that looks like a woodie is probably the log flume, and the Avalanche is now called angry beavers spooty spin.
  7. No Bus, they would use a sand filter, and to clean them you just backwash it, so any crap (figuratively and literally) winds up in the sewer.
  8. Dunno, yellow pages maybe? do you have access to any trade magazines, which could hold some info. Personally, i was hoping that if it was being made in Australia that it would be done at the foundry in my town, Furphys, i could have got some pics for everyone. Where did you get the rumours from thunder001?
  9. Geeze, such a violent reaction from such a little joke. You dont complain about Joz's news flashes in his sig.
  10. Not really, they do that in europe, but many manufacturers fabricate the track in the countries that they will be built in, for example Bolliger and Mabillard do the track for their american rides in Ohio. I imagine that things like the seats and restraints are made in one place due to the complicated nature of them.
  11. Boooooo, take that back. Why would you ahve to clean the filters anyway, I doubt a waterpark would use cartridge filters, they would use sandfilters, which you back wash. Yeah, Goboi, you can have that job, but new attractions is my department.
  12. Some latest news just in, Cedar Point has admitted defeat because of Kingda Ka taking TTD record, and is now taking down the ride. Link
  13. Yeah, they are the same, except the SF one is scaled up a little in size because the trains dont have to carry the musical equipment.
  14. What about that pirate guy at WnW where they have the treasure hunt. Sorry i forgot you rappa, amybe you could just be the park DJ so all the people in the queues could listen to music.
  15. At current, i dont do any Drawing related job, Im a maccas kid myself, but i do get A+'s in visual communication Bus, great idea there for the waterfall, it would be very impressive walking into the park and seeing a big waterfall at the end of the wave pool. At least i know Im on the right track, i mean, im impressing the hardest audience of all, enthusiasts.
  16. I did a 3D drawing of the park for those interested. And i was bored, so I thought of who would staff the park, Me - Head of Park Design/Planning Rich - CEO Joz - Head of Food/Beverage Bussy - Head of Attraction Maintenance Daniel - Head of Park Security Paul - Head of IT, www.wetnwildsunshinecoast.com.au web master Shaun - Head of Accounting/Finance/Payroll AlexB - Head of Entertainment Flea - Head of park themeing/lighting/special FX and in park music Rabid - Head of media/marketing Steve$ - Ejected Patron Pattieboy - Lifeguard
  17. Like Euro Star, man that has to be the best travelling coaster i have ever seen.
  18. Slicks entrt does not have a top hat element in it. For those who are unsure, its something like this: http://www.rcdb.com/ig2498.htm?picture=4 or this http://www.rcdb.com/ig1574.htm?picture=5 or this http://www.rcdb.com/ig427.htm?picture=2 but for a short one, like this http://www.rcdb.com/ig2905.htm?picture=1
  19. If anyone is interested, here is how Rock 'n' roller coasters layout is in daylight on a clone at SFH. http://www.rcdb.com/ig769.htm?picture=2 http://www.rcdb.com/ig769.htm?picture=8
  20. I didnt bother to put in all the future expansion areas basically because ti would be a waste having this big blank bit on the image. In terms of eateries, there is the octagonal one near the wave pool, there is also one at the back of the park near all the shelters. Also, in the middle of the wave pool deck area is a square building, this would be a 2 story building , at the top is the projector room for dive in movies, but on the ground floor would be a shop that only is open on movie nights that sells popcorn ect. An ice cream palour is located direcly down from crazy creek, next to the wave pool. the large rectangular building at the park entrance is also 2 stories high, the top level is admin, while the bottom level is change rooms, lockers, the entrance turnstiles and a shop selling things like sunscreen, souvouniers, towels ect. In terms of toilets, there would be one by Body board beach, the top level of that building would be a viewing deck for Body board beach. There would also be toilets with the food outlet in the top right of the park, and also in the main entrance area.
  21. Whats it matter anyway, the GP will still get it wrong and call it "those big yellow twisty slides" anyway. Aiside from names, what other things could be improved?
  22. Guys, its only funny if one person makes the joke, You are all just copying GoBoi now.
  23. Read the last post, i thought of a better name than flush frenzy. And in any case, the ride would be advertised as Montain splashdowns, they were just the individual slide names, its like how at WnW they call the group of four slides the white water flumes, but the 4 flumes have individual names: Bombora, Pipeline, Ripcurl and Whrilpool. (which BTW sound like all they did to name them was get a bunch of brand names) What barrel are you talking about for me to fill the tank on anyway?
  24. Well, i had a look at a couple of disney waterparks, and these are regarded as being the best you will visit, and these are some of the names. Blizzard Beach (double word) Slush Gusher Cross Country Creek Melt Away Bay Downhill Double Dipper Summit Plummet Runoff Rapids Snow Stormers Typhoon Lagoon (Rhyming words) Crush 'N' Gusher Humunga Kowabunga Keehaul Falls Storm Slides Castaway Creek Ketchakiddee Creek So when it comes to naming, I learn from the best And yes, i admit that Flush Frenzy was a bad name, i was thinking along the lines of a flush of water, but i was scraping the barrell, lets all call it Waterlog Gourge ok. I agree joz, maybe seating around the wave pool is a bit sparse, if the pool was further back it would be better, there is however a large line of shelters you can see at the top right side of the park, so the punters can go in under the shade with their $7.95 hot dog, sit down and watch people rush along Riptide river while eating lunch. And also, im not taking the credit for the water transport thing, Wild Wadi and Schlitterbahn beach already use such systems of waterslides and lazy rivers, i just implemented it in my design.
