That was pretty good. Going into both break runs (Mid course and last) was an extremely quick transition, but other than that, it was really good. Very original layout.

8.5/10

Very good job! I love the colors! It's really fresh lol. Your ride is pretty smooth, I like the layout.....

[Golfie]

Thanks for the comments.

 

Vffreak07, could you be a bit more specific?

 

 

Everyone else, please comment/criticize!

[Vffreak07]

Like when it went into the last break run. It kinda snapped up really quickly. I dunno, something like that.

I dont have No Limits, but from the pictures it looks good.

[Golfie]

^^I can try to fix that... just a lengthening of that node will do the trick!

[brandon]

i really liked the ride, but i was wondering how you made the background in the pics white

^That's a environment, you have to download..

 

Coaster:

 

Argghhhhh GREEN!!!!! No seriously - this coaster was pretty decent It was smooth and has some exciting at thrilling spots - though I wasn't too thrilled about the vertical loop. I think it had a weird shape.

[Golfie]

^I agree with you about the loop - before this coaster, I've always used elements, so my hand-made loops will only get better with time! I'm not going to attempt to fix it mostly because I've already polished off a new Vekoma Looping coaster... more of that later.

 

Please keep commenting - I like reading about your reactions!

[Steffen_Dk]

^I have the same problem.. Loops aren't that easy to make

 

Your other coaster project sounds interesting

If you want you can use loops already done and then you make some modifications...

You're right, with the time you're going to be better in what yo do!^^

 

 

By the way Steffen: You're not the orange top model!!! lol

There was one problem, not for the layout, but for the description of your ride, you said that the only inversion was an imelman, but it is a loop?

 

by the way, very good coaster 9.5 on 10!

A Jr. Immelman doesn't flip riders totally upside-down. I only counted the loop as an inversion.
