Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.

^I agree, that steep first drop looks incredible! And with 8B being set back, i bet that has some insane airtime! Especially since it doesn't have the usual hump after the lift.
RIP: Trailblazer and Deja Vu...heck, even Alien Encounter :(

The company that creates these wonderful animations is Virtual Image Productions! The company is based out of Orlando, Florida and run by Keith McVeen the same guy who for the older Coasterbuzzers out there used to run Badnitus. It’s not really a games so much as it is a program for making 3D Animation! Keith is very talented and by far the best animator within the Theme/Water park Industry. He uses software called 3D Studio Max.

Here are some links to stuff related to his amazing animations

Also for anyone who has wondered who made the video of Batman Dark Knight that is show in Batmans station thats Keith McVeen. :lol:

Yeah I remember all those... I believe that 3D Studio Max thing he uses is like a $3,000 program.

yeah, he basically put Intraxx out of business, they used to be the standard for ride rendering for parks. He does do awesome work.

if that's a $3,000 program, he can buy about 8 copies of it for doing just one project :)

It's around that price, we were asked to get it for college this year, but i have yet to find a way of lowering that price....

I think the hump actually improves airtime, at least in the back, for bull. You get a nice small bit of air, then milliseconds later you're going down at top speed.


Also, I think the train designs are actually pretty cool.

After looking at the pictures. The train design looks pretty cool. After sitting outside on the Vu, I'd deffinatly do the same on these ones. The track looked "eh" compared to RB!!!

After viewing the videos. I think that RB is actually leaps and bounds ahead of this one!
