Jr for Birdy Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I make prosthetic appliances and work with pigments, Banshee is purple. I know because I hate making purple! Red and blue make purple. An example of my work... I seen this on the news or a show, is that you and if so how fast can you swim! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RailRider Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) Back on the whole color issue. The ride looks much different in person than on camera and in person it looks much different when it is sunny compared to cloudy. I for one would call the track fuschia. Call the colors what you want, but by no means are they red and blue. Edited September 9, 2013 by RailRider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikejenkins1 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 where will the lift hill motor building be located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 You don't need an entire building. Like Diamondback, and other Inverted B&M coasters, a shack is not needed, only a motor. (many other coasters don't have an entire building that aren't more modern[i.e. Vortex]) http://rcdb.com/3244.htm?p=15647 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 B&M lift motors are built into the bottom of the lift, in this case above the track at lift base. This allows the chain to go around the tensioners/gears up the track, up above the track, and down the return loop. See coasters like Raptor, ect, you'll see what I'm talking about. Hopefully this has the same drive motor as say Gatekeeper...that thing GOES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcwizard13 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 What's a lift hill motor building? Anyone have a pic they could post here for me? I'm not sure if I've seen those on any coasters or not. P.S. I re-wrote that second sentence three times to make sure it was O'Terpy-proofed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite certain someone out there has a picture, an internet connection, and the ability to register an account on KIC so they can post it. So the answer to your second question is, "Yes." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losantiville Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Most lift hill motor buildings seem to be for wooden coasters. Very left of this picture is a lift motor shed: http://rcdb.com/279.htm?p=12893 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markdb96 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I took this picture about 2 weeks ago, I just forgot to post it. Lucky enough to take it right when they were lifting that piece into place. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Nice! Also, expect something like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/spacecamp/4765457586/ -- And just a reminder, I'm still hoping we don't get trims at all, or even the track with the two holes in the spine, cause then that means, to me, they are considering it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungStud Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 should not be any trims cause the elements are so drawn out, that will take all the forces out. Its common for a couple places to have holes to mount trims just in case in the real world the train goes faster than what the engineers plan. Even Intamin has a couple small trims on SKYRUSH. Its not like b&m's trim on Diamondback going over the hill to the onride photo where the trim is just as large as a mcbr. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Hopefully not. The ride looks like it'll be drawn out enough, as is.. still fun, I'm sure, though. And DB's trim makes me sad, but it gave a reason for a more abrupt crest at the top with the straight section of track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungStud Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I wonder how many MPH the trim on Diamondback slows the train, it has to be at least 15mph. That is the only part I get any airtime cause of the inertia of the violent slow down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
