    This is Valkyries Ride, a B&M Invert built on JKay's Blue Thunder Bench.
    It's themed to the ancient vikings, with longhouses, dragonboat and an old norwegian church.

    I'ts embedded in a sub-polar tundra forest with waterfalls (leading to the Ginnungagap, which is the cradle of all life in nordic mythology) - please do not throw any coins in it

    First you walk through the battlefields and nomadsland, when you finally reach Valhalla, the place where all the brave soldiers meet each other in death. The Valkyries where female deities who served Odin. They have chosen all the warriors who died bravely in war, to follow them to Valhalla.

    They all meet again in the halls of Valhalla, where they prepare for Ragnarök. The battle at end of the world.

    In the Queueline, all sons of Odin are honored with a statue.
    Balder - the god of beauty
    Vidar - god of revenge
    Thor - master of thunder

    And in the harbour, Odin itself awaits the arriving longships of the warriors.

    The coaster itself starts in the biggest longhouse, the halls of Valhalla. Then you ride on the Valkyrie's back through Valhalla!


    The coaster interacts with it's surroundings (waterfalls, mountains, tunnels, the paths and the buildings.

    Have fun!

    are you enterin that for a design (if u havent u should) thats pretty sweet. and where did u get that bench. i want it real bad!!!

    I sent it in as a design, but haven't got an answer to date.
    Just download JKay's Blue Thunder and modify it, that's the best way to make your bench!

    I really like it. I think that the coaster could interact with the scenery a little bit more, but other than that it's fantastic.

    thanks.

    That would fit into a BGE park really well.

    I checked this coaster...I think it was decent, but some things didn't convince me. The architecture was ok, although it looked kinda boring, mostly because of the colors...yes, I know it's themed to the ancient vikings and you can't use every color you want, but there must be some accent color that fits...
    Anyway, the main idea and theme was pretty nice, so well done.

    The buildings and all do look boring but that coaster layout looks fucking amazing.

    Although a little painful...

    I liked this design, but well, it didn't really impress me, it would be cool if this design was in a full park but since it is a design, you have to spice it up. But don't get me wrong, The design looks awesome. :D

    The layout was ace, but like lucas said this was more of a ride in a great park than a design....it just didn't really have enough memorability to be a design IMO. Nonetheless, I liked it a lot, especially the part from the Immelman to the corks, that part was excellent.

    I thought it was great. good concept and well executed, wonderful coaster layout + great supports, peeps! I found it a bit sad that you didn't put foliage on the map edges, wich made them look pretty ugly. but apart from that great work.

    I liked it more than Blue Thunder...

    ^ Are you serious.

    Blue Thunder is probably better. Although this park is good, the architecture doesn't stand out and IMO, it doesn't interact with the buildings enough, therefore putting Blue Thunder above Valkyries Ride.

    Don't get me wrong, I love them both.

    For some reason this reminds me of Nemesis Inferno at Thorpe Park.

    Think im gonna have to check this one out

    I like it actually, a compact layout with a good surrounding. Best work to date.

    Ugh. Haven't looked at the design.

    But if you're referring to the Classical song by Wagner, it's Ride of the Valkeries. Trranslation error maybe? But that shit irks me, dude.

    Ill give it a 7. It was fun to look at and the buildings werent too bad. Just same colors. It got a bit boring. But the lay out was... just, okay. It was just very off and on. It went slow though the sidewinder but it fled right through the corkscrews. I wasnt a big fan of that. But over all, i want to thank you for not making the normal "massive" inverted coaster that everyone normally makes. You kept it simple but with many creative inversions. So well done over all.

    HAHAHAHA

    Sorry, but this fucking made my day.

    It's a DESIGN. The focus is on the ride, not the architecture. And, frankly, Blue Thunder sucked. (No offense, JKay... but it did.)

    I second RMM - that layout is fucking amazing.
