Old topic:

So today I've made a remake of Baron 1898 (only the rollercoaster and some of the paths & walls around it). I've posted a video to YouTube so you can watch it already.

Question: Who rode Baron 1898 already?

Oh fantastic job! I think it could benefit from a little smoothing on some of the kinks but overall, great work.

As someone who hasn't ever really tried to recreate popular rides, how do you go about it? Is it all eyeballing or are you working from plans?

I've smoothed it as much as I could, but sadly you can't officialy make an Immelmann in PC, so I had to 'cheat' it.

First off I know the ride pretty well, so that's one thing. Secondly you really need to check different photographs of the ride, drawings, top views, ... Try to make every angle perfect. It's not 100% correct, but it'll work.

Nearly perfect Jens Great job, and imo that immelman its really not possible atm to make freeform. Love to see the rest keep it up.

Thank you very much! Yes indeed, it's almost impossible to make it perfectly... You can watch another onride on my channel

Haha nice one!

But isn't yours a lot bigger?

SymphonyX · May 26, 2016

It is a bit bigger than yours, but I am using larger track segments. It may work with small segments. The key is to get the banking at the top of the loop and around half way down the roll set to where you want it. Then don't smooth across these points, only smooth in between these areas. Hope that makes sense.

Yes I understand. Thanks for the tip!

Also don't smooth the whole thing but just small track pieces

Ive screwed my big ass corkscrew on drop coaster coz of that. Just smooth 1 or 2 segemnts at a time without overlapping and it wont change the track to much

ill make pov of my drop coaster later on. Atm its almost 100% smooth

Wow, looks like you've made some improvements. Would love to see a new video.

Also when you create a corkscrew for example with 4 different track pieces of 3 long and make the grade per track piece the same equally you can smooth the whole thing at once. But if you first smooth 1 trackpiece of it and then smooth whole corkscrew it probably fails. You also can multi select with smooth tool to change the angle of a bigger part then the original track piece lenght

Jasler · May 27, 2016

Cool! Looks awesome!

You know, it is funny, I used the same video from YT for my Baron 1898 haha

Mine is almost done

Thanks! There is no corkscrew in this ride, but I'll remember it for the next one!

That is just awesome! Wow, love it

The decoration from outside is great. I still need to finish that XD I was thinking to make the lockers too like in the Efteling, but, no idea how and where XD Still not enough scenery for that...

By the way, do you mind if I use your solution for the wheel at the top of the dive?

Because I think that is an awesome solution, but I couldn't think about it by myself [mouth shut]
