Alright, I have two other coasters that were made before I joined that I hope you all like/hate/cuss about/whatever. The first one is a wooden coaster called SideWinder. Lots of twists and turns, a station fly-by, 4 90-degree banked turns with a helix at the end that is reminiscent of Twisters (Knoebles).

Second is Transistor, an Intamin geared towards the starting crowd. Doesn't go above 50, mild laterals, one inversion and less than 80ft tall.

Again, please give helpful advice/tips to do better...also, can someone explain what you mean when you see a pump in a ride? Honest question as I've never heard the term before. I'm guessing it means the track doesn't look right or something along those lines.

Any who, here they are!

Can't say much, too far away to really tell.

As for a "pump".... A pump is a term used to describe a sudden change in the radius of an element, and shows up in the simulator as a sudden change in force, we're talking fractions of a second force change.

People use multiple terms for it, pump, bump, spike, ect.

Most times the only way to see it is to ride.
