Project Sea is here! Singapore is a ride that has been under the wraps since early February! The majority of the assembly was spent making scenery objects such as the pirate ship, wing coils, flying machine, and hot air balloons. Singapore is based of the Chinese town from the third Pirate of the Caribbean movie. I have to give credit to A113Productions, because I used his fog 3d. for this ride. A few items came from the CS park pack as well. So I hope you enjoy your ride through the lost Chinese world at sea, Singapore! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Stats- Max Height- 175 ft. Length- 2175 ft. Max G.- 3.5 positive g's Speed- 68 mph. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Credits- Song- Starlight By: Muse Created with- Pinnacle Ultimate Collection 14 HD, No-Limits, Google Sketch-Up Pro 7.1 Adobe Photoshop 3d Studio Max and NL tunnel creator ~Singapore is fully hand built no smoothing or heartlining tools were used~ Hope You Enjoy! (A little fun) Disney Pixar's WALL-E is hidden in this video, and is visible for approximately 2.7 seconds, it is very small and very blurry, but IS visible, the first person to spot the hidden Wall-e and tell me what frame (ex. 0:04) will win a big file full of various 3d objects, it is not easy!) FUN SEARCHING! Credit goes to the several people on the sketch-up 3d warehouse who helped with the models on this ride. Thank you guys. The env. is a modified Gaia environment. Enjoy!

Wicked Twister In Action
Wicked Twister is a steel roller coaster at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. This 215-foot-tall ride consists of one train operating on a double-ended track. Both ends of the towers (track) are designed with 450-degree vertical twists to provide an exciting ride experience. This is the main difference between Wicked Twister and its similar siblings: V2: Vertical Velocity at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois, Steel Venom at Valleyfair in Shakopee, Minnesota, and Voodoo at Dorney Park in Pennsylvania. Between the towers a horizontal track section incorporates the load and unload area as well as the linear induction motor propulsion system (LIM section). The train consists of 8 cars carrying 4 passengers each, 2 persons side by side for a total of 32 persons. Wicked Twister's feature theme song is "The Winner" by the Crystal Method. At the beginning of the ride, the linear induction motors propel the train forward out of the station during its first launch at 50 mph, which carries the vehicle approximately halfway up the front tower. After stalling out and reversing, the train enters the LIM section again, where the train is accelerated during its second launch to 63 mph in the backward direction so that the train climbs almost all the way up the rear tower. The train then stalls and drops forward before re-entering the LIM section where additional thrust is added as the train gains to 69 mph during its third launch, causing the train to rocket further up the front ...
