The twisty one

[caffeine_demon]

I thought I'd show you one of my coasters.

I was aiming to get a high thrill, intense coaster that didn't look as if it woul kill you or make you puke.. I think it turned out quite well. I hope to add scenery later

here's a ful overview video

My thoughts:

1 - The turn after the lift hill is too slow - should have had an extra slope before - if only there was a "very gentle drop" option

2 - I like the banked turn after the first corkscrew's - give's a bit of a breather!

3 - those vertical loops are taken at a nice speed, aren't they?

4 - could do with a bit more straight track betweebn the first 2 twists and the turn.

5 - not quite sure what's happening between the 3rd twist and the "camelback"

6 - more coasters should end with camelbacks.....

anyone else?

Steep drop into corkscrews - nonononono!

The turns after the last loop aren't banked. None of them.

No end brakes.

Random high hill at the end of the track, into small helix of literal death (imagine the G-forces).

It almost stalls in the first banked turn and the camelback, while zipping through the inline rolls at lethal speeds.

In short, this could be done better. Try putting the largest elements first, then at the end, when you have used up most of the speed, build the smaller elements such as inline rolls and corkscrews. Try to balance the speed so you don't go super-fast when you change direction, but not stall at the top of the elements either. Also, an end brake before the station adds realism.

I like the vertical loops
Good banked turns
Put the corkscrews somewhere else
Make the whole coaster a lot smoother
BANK TURNS

Woah, no, just no, its all wrong
Way to fast on the inversions, the G forces will kill you, and it was turning too much, I felt sick by watching the P.O.V o.o

Some things we can let you off for because RCT isn't the greatest for building rides, but seriously, you need to bank your turns, it's so easy to do and will prevent guests from, you know, dying quite so much.
