I am a senior in high school and have been working on this for a good 8 months. I calculated each turn and drop to ensure that the coaster would make the course if I had a train to run. It is at a scale of 1 inch equals 10 feet. Overall it is 2 feet wide and 5 feet long. I named it Fury and I enterd it in MITEA a regional cad fair in michigan where it placed first, and then qualified for state where it took 3rd place.
Fury Stats: (real life)-122.5 feet tall-approximatly 60 mph on first drop.-Many head choppers, on drops and turns. Realistic banking and design.
Here are some pictures http://community.webshots.com/user/furymodel Please sign the guest book so I can get an idea of the amount of people visiting.
I designed the layout of the ride from november to february in Autocad then plotted it out 1:1 and put together supports with templates I drew myelf. From november to two weeks ago I have been working on it including from 6:30 am to 10:00 pm during spring break.
If anyone has any questions on how to complete a project of this size let me know and would be glad to help, I found a lot of short cuts to help manage my time. It was alot of fun.
