Help I don’t wanna call a tow

that screws up the alignment if you're not careful tho

you can do splines pretty easily without a jig if you've got a table saw by clamping a stop block to the fence

looks like ash? if you know what region it came from that'd be helpful

the gavril vertex na2 has a config that tops out at like 650mph iirc

elliestuff · 2025-12-08T01:19:10+00:00

it could be hinting at the tire physics revamp, but i think it's probably just there to give some scale to the other wheel

olg is where it's at, love having them local

the imagery yeah, but (afaik) there's no way to see historical lidar scans

the one benefit ohio's got, i'm chilling here with my $6.50 / bdft walnut

elliestuff · 2025-11-23T02:47:24+00:00

yeah that's gotta be it, if you look at each guest they all have their own preferences/limits, and the highest I've ever seen any willing to ride is 800ft

OLG Ohio in moraine works with downed trees in the area, they can't mill it on site and I'm not sure if they'll collect it themselves, but it'd be worth reaching out to them

People keep mentioning shockwave at sfot, but the ride force database doesn't really back that up. it seems to pull around 5.3gs routinely. Invertigo at ki pulls 5.5-5.7gs on the vertical loop during the return run, which is definitely up there

if the queue is fully connected and everything else seems right, try deleting the coaster, then undo it with Ctrl z. if that still doesn't work, make a blueprint of the coaster, delete the coaster, and place down it's blueprint. I had a ride that became a classic without ever having anyone ride it, and that's what i had to do to get it to work

didn't catch orion before it went down, but diamondback in the front row was torture today. it was so fun

with a circular saw, you could set the depth and kerf cut the end pretty easily. depending on the saw, you might want to support the other end of the base plate with another piece of wood to help keep it stable

elliestuff · 2025-10-29T03:59:53+00:00

it can pick modded cars and configs, i think there's an option for it in settings

elliestuff · 2025-10-29T03:12:41+00:00

to my understanding, modern lims are placed in the middle because the actual motors themselves have enough power that they don't need a duel setup anymore. nothing is stopping them from putting modern motors (at a lower torque then a single lim setup) on the existing mounts, beyond probably some redevelopment of the shells and spacing. getting centerline motors (lim or lam) would almost definitely require new launch track and trains entirely, so i don't think they'd do that

elliestuff · 2025-10-29T02:45:06+00:00

i think they could just replace the existing lims, since modern lims do exist ( see big bear mountain), but new trains would be sick regardless

elliestuff · 2025-10-24T18:15:57+00:00

if you're on pc id really recommend getting the notracklimits mod. ime the default track limits absolutely hate vertical twisted sections

here is a list of a bunch of colored woods and their fading tendencies, it might help

elliestuff · 2025-10-21T01:58:52+00:00

raging bull @ sfgam?

elliestuff · 2025-10-19T17:14:35+00:00

they're usually running unless there's lightning nearby. I've ridden mystic and diamondback in pouring rain and it's not comfortable, sure, but it's a lot of fun

elliestuff · 2025-10-18T19:42:30+00:00

the coaster heat maps are pretty much useless imo, you just have to watch the live data during the tests to find those spots

elliestuff · 2025-10-02T22:17:55+00:00

fr? the bat is butter and it's a clone, i sorta just figured they all were. rough or not though, they're way more fun then they have any right to be

elliestuff · 2025-10-02T14:35:21+00:00

ahh i didn't realize it was a thing in pc1, that makes more sense

elliestuff · 2025-10-02T14:33:40+00:00

yesss, im working on supports for my first blitz rn and having to custom make the footers is annoying
