Scoliosis! Mine is getting worse. Even normal daily activities like walking around, standing for a while without sitting, mopping, sweeping, and jumping on a trampoline are uncomfortable and (at times) painful if the activity is intense enough. I'm 14 and my back feels like it's 80 at times. Luckily it isn't bad enough for Spinal Fusion, but feeling unbalanced and uncomfortable in your lower back isn't exactly easy to ignore... And since my diagnosis in November I finally realize why I'm not a huge fan of stand-up coasters.

El Loco at Adventuredome looks really good for its compact layout. -

Official RCT3 Help Thread
thrillseeker4552 replied to mcjaco's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
Could someone help me out with putting CTRs, CFRs, CSOs, and CTs in RCT3 (Mac App Store)? I don't know if it is possible to customize the game if it is from the Mac App Store, but if so I could really use some help. Thank you in advance! -
I don't think RMC's trains are going to provide a solution. What's special about their trains is that they use springs to push the side wheels and up-stop wheels to make sure they attach to the track the whole time to eliminate the train banging around the track like normal wooden coasters. Outlaw Run finishes the course at a low speed after the barrel rolls. A normal wooden coaster's speed would not decline that much with a height of 106ft but only a length of 2000+ ft (exclude the brake run, station and lift hill). That means this new technique used on RMC trains generate a lot more friction than normal wooden coaster trains like the PTC's, Gerstlauer's, etc. Interesting, I didn't know that. But is outlaw run's loss of energy throughout the course only due to this system or also due to the fact that it has quite a lot of terrain variations and maintains a relatively high speed during the entire ride? I think the reason Outlaw Run ends at such a low speed is due to the fact that the ride finished at a height much higher than the majority of the ride (like you said). It hauls butt entering the double barrel roll, but because the barrel rolls are fairly steep uphill, the train slows down a lot. Since Goliath at SFGAm is pretty much on all flat ground, it will probably be a better judgement of RMC trains that Outlaw Run.

The Rumor / Crazy Idea Superthread

If CW can market Leviathan after Behemoth, a 122-degree drop coaster at SFOG seems marketable. And in my opinion, nothing is a true inversion unless it is greater than or equal to 135-degrees. -

Leviathan for the more comfortable trains ARM drop towers or Intamin 1st gen free falls?

Intamin!! Sandwich or hamburger?
