Hello everyone, I’m Cody, y’all probably don’t remember me much, but I used to post pretty frequently on this site, during the construction of Fury and met some of you at carowinds the last day that thunder road was open. Haven’t posted since because I moved to Florida and started college, still love the park, and Copperhead Strike has brought me back to the site.

Welcome back.

Nice tarheel! How in the world did you get the blueprints in the game. I wanted to do the same but didn't know how to do it haha. Good luck to you on it! You should get No Limits...

I made a 8x9 grid of 32m videoboards, and I used the kerb scenery to separate them evenly. Then I did an overlay of the blueprints on Photopea, and I did Layer Via Copy for each grid with the coaster in it. Each grid is a separate image that I had to re-piece together to make the layout.

I will say that I don't know if Planet Coaster's measurements are entirely accurate. The first loop IRL is between 70-75 feet, but in PLC, it would valley if the loop was larger than 20 m. The length is also drawn out way more than the current version I have on the workshop, so idk if I should finish it.

Yea I think when I was doing it in PC it had to be like 60ft or something to make it, but you can always change fritction. I figured it was a matter of cutting it up into smaller images, someone else had did that for Crush's Coaster or something like that. Thats pretty awesome. Good luck on it!

Awesome shots dirk!

Couple from last night:

Nice! My flash on my phone doesn't help. I like the way it looked in the moon, really wasnt expecting to get any decent pictures last night You got a great shot though!

[dirkdiggler1992]

I noticed RCDB is calling the element a cutback, not that it matters but shaping/height does seem more appropriate for labeling it a cutback.

[tarheel1231]

Yeah, it doesn’t completely bank 180 degrees. It also doesn’t have a linear shape, so it’s somewhat difficult to recreate.

That airtime hill . . .

The airtime and hangtime in this ride are gonna be crazy

[tarheel1231]

Mostly done with the layout, just smoothing some things out. The ride is over 4000 feet long, so again I don't know if I scaled it wrong or if Planet Coaster's measurements are off.

^ Looks good man. I would say planet coaster is probably off, it'll be alright I think the colors you did are pretty accurate as well.

Got this shot of the JoJo roll today!!!

Heads up, I just got my desktop back and realized this today, That image looks to be a picture of a screen taken slightly from the side so that it distorts it and makes the helix before the second launch much bigger than it should be. I also was hitting around the 3,800ft mark by using that image. Here is a much lower quality image that’s pre superimposed to google maps that has let me get within 60ft of the real thing in No Limits.

I might post some screen shots when I get back home from the park.

[tarheel1231]

Thank you so much! I knew something was off, especially since Amos’ Fury recreation was extremely accurate. Though this does mean I’m gonna have to start over

[RiDeWaRrIoR]

Loop may be done today! They have put up some other supports as well...

UPDATE: 1PM is the scheduled time to cap off the loop
