Menace - Frankedj - Aug 22, 2013

This is one of my latest that I am pretty happy with. I have a thing for compact coasters with as much track as possible in a small footprint. Menace tops out at 125' tall with the large loops. This is also my first semi-successful attempt at building supports. I used block brakes for the launch and to maintain certain speeds. I spaced them out to gradually raise the speed as needed and only braked in one spot. There are animated brakes as a ride event but you can't really see them.I have been playing the game for about 4 months now.

                           

I have an "amateur" flying camera video of the coaster running and the peep cam video HERE on Youtube. I am just starting to learn the flycam.

Looks really good!!! Love the background btw!! Goes really good with the theme


RE: Menace - the-big-cheese - Aug 23, 2013

Very cool! It took me a solid year to get this good, you must have committed yourself more than I did.


RE: Menace - FlightToAtlantis - Aug 24, 2013

This is true, the amount of time it takes to get really good in RCT3.


RE: Menace - Frankedj - Aug 24, 2013

Whenever I like anything I go overboard in getting into it. Right now I am working on the Supports and Lighting obsessions while figuring out the flying camera. Next up is using Intamin connectors once I build a new coaster.

I found some new lights and threw a bunch of them on Menace after deleting the hundred or so red no lamp lights. I hadn't yet figured out the new lights spacing, distances and ranges yet when I placed them so I used too many too close. I am going to go with an unusual sequence of white search lights for Menace since I can't find any ride event lights anywhere. I did find some nice colorable stage lights along with a ton of other lighting.

I am into lighting big time since it is what I used to do for a living. Designing, installing and programming Special Effect Lighting Systems in nightclubs. I create environments using lights. I also did Commercial Sound and am a DJ.
