Nighthawk

Description
Created by JetstreamCoasters for Roundup 150.

NOTE: Normally I don't lock my packages, but this one I decided to do so because of TheCodeMaster's amazing custom accelerator launch script, which he graciously gave me a Beta copy of. I'd rather not accidentaly release something that is not ready to be released.

Nighthawk is an Intamin Accelerator roller coaster inspired by a number of real life roller coasters, including StormRunner @ Hershey, Xcelerator @ KBF, and Nefeskesen @ Vialand.

True to Intamin Accelerator stlye, this roller coaster was never meant to be a long ride, but a short, aggressive coaster that never lets up until the final brakes. The track was created in FVD++, and I'm mostly happy with how the shaping turned out, with the exception of the twisted airtime hill. I tried to go for the type of accelerator built in the mid 2000's, with Intamin's sometimes "interesting" transitions, and I felt I acheived this quite well, especially with the overbank over the station.

In addition, in order to give the scene a little more life, after a trip to Magic Mountain and a solo ride on Ninja (nobody else in my group wanted to join me) I was inspired to build Ace, a self-dueling Arrow suspended coaster. If built in real life, it would have been the longest coaster of its type in existence, though not by a huge margin. Because I was short on time, I opted to hand build Ace's track versus using FVD, and I'm quite happy with the results.

The scenery is a mixutre of supports and DAE objects, and I really tried to get good at using the NLMAT editor with this project, which I also think shows quite well.

The skybox is from Robert Dean on Youtube.

I had trouble putting a train on to the transfer track do you know how I could fix that or would I have to edit the coaster?

I was looking for Nighthawk, formerly Borg Assimilator, at Carowinds. Who's up to recreate that? I find recreating a coaster lots of hard work, and if you look at my original coasters like Utsukushi, they are all messes.

You don't have to worry about putting something out that wasn't meant to be out anymore. The Accelorator kit came out a few days ago, so it should be safe to unlock the package now.

Such a great little park. The suspended Arrow is probably one of the best Ive seen in NL 2. When NL 2 came out everoyne was making suspended coasters, but it kind of faded away. Nice to see a new one, and an amazing one at that.

Your Intamin accelerator was also spectacular in design and trackwork. Such great stuff, cant wait to see more from you!
