Thats definatly not how it works. Look at this picture:

The transfer segment behind the station switch-tracks moves over to a storage track, sends the train onto a storage track, then slides back over into place. Theres no other tracks that magically "pull forward and move over to replace the moving transfer track"

Alex is right about the switch track. Jon is mostly right about the flowers, I would recommend sticking to one color too. Personally I'd say to go with a darker red or stick to the yellow because they'd off set the teal and white sceme of the buildings well.
Nice to see more people around here really trying hard though.

Ling, you're wrong. Tatsu's transfer system works just as other Beemers do. The brake section/transfer track i shifted horizontally after the train has been locked onto it. Then when it has moved to the proper track in the storage shed, the train is released and rolls onto the storage track. The transfer track then shifts over to whichever track has the train to be put into circuit, at which point that train is released onto the tt and locked, at which point the tt slides back to the regular circuit position and releases the train, rolling it into the station. All beemers have transfer tracks that work this way aside from a few, such as Air, that use a slightly different transfer track mechanism. -

ok, fine, screw it. I don't even care anymore.
Can we just wait for something else from CoasterCrzy? -

yeah, it doesn't seem lik it would be hard to extend the transfer track three pieces, you've got planty of room. The only thing I don';t like is the layout and where the lift hill is. It's crammed against the border of the park and there's no path access to it... I guess I mean, you wouldn't be able to see the lift hill from the path or anything. I know you can't fix that but, I'm just saying... -

I belive ryan if anything. Come on, he showed us a picture of him working on Nitro. And with me working at Dorney park, he is right because i seen all the coasters there get transferd on to the "transfer track". Well thunder hawk is a bit different for the fract the transfer track is right in the begining... It was made in 1923 ya know.And I work these rides almost every day of my life! Not to mention I have worked a B&M Flyer! I know how these work

Sorry for the double post, but:
Thanks everyone for the input on the transfer tracks, I really didn't have any idea how it worked...
Ride6: Yeah I tried purple and it looked ok, I'll try the red or yellow too.
Genius638: Yeah the station was a bit scrunched, though there is path interaction in the ride.
][ntamin22: Thanks. That was the feel I was going for. -

That would work, though it's not the way that Intamin does it.
And purple would be fine, depending on the purple.

Yea that looks better, although you wouldn't need the poles after the transfer track. The only problem before was that the train was too long to fit on it but now you shortened it and looks like you made the transfer track longer too, so good job. -

Doesn't Intamin use the storage track lined up with the brake run then S-Bend into the station?Edited by CoasterCrzy, 08 January 2007 - 05:41 PM.

Nice screen. Ther archy is really nice, and the colors are ok. I dunno, but when I think of Mercury, I think of red, but its your park. Supports would look nicer spread out as said before. -

i only like the station complex more from this angle, the only thing bothering me is the blank wooden platform right at the queue enterance, far right of the screen. flowers instead, maybe? transfer track looks fine to me. it might be a little late now, but you could haxor a spare train onto it for an added touch.
