This was my third attempt at modeling a coaster. A friend of mine had suggested I give it a try, so I said why , so I was familiar with the ride. Although it was a very good ride, the absence of a zero-g roll is what kept it from being one of my favorites. I took this model a little further than my previous ones. I started to put more detail in the track, as well as started playing with materials. Unlike my other coasters, this one actually used lights and shadows, which makes a big difference. This model was also going to be the first one with an animation. As a result of making an animation, I also updated my floorless trains with some more detail since I would also be making an off-ride animation. This model was also a lesson in what to do and not to do. A not to do is make a model with 4 million faces and have it take 12 days to render. Anyways...I hope you enjoy the animations. -Michael Semtak |

I have created two animations for this model. The first is a POV from the front seat. The second is of off-ride footage following the train throughout the course. Enjoy! |
