The ride

Overview

Wow. This was REALLY good for a second coaster. It was VERY smooth for someone who has used NL for the short amount of time that you have. It had cool elements and great hangtime. It had a few bumps, but they weren't all that bad. But, your station and holding brake runs were too short. While they don't need to be that long, they should still be longer than you had them. I like to have about 5-7 feet between the ends of the train (entire train, not just wheels) and the brake run ends on a standard coaster with normal length trains, and for an X car like yours, I try to use about 3-5 feet. So overall, I'll give it a 3.5/5

Wow, your beginner coasters are VERY impressive! I can't imagine what we will see from you soon...

What does anyone else think? Please tell me!

Lets see... I think your coaster is great, but needs some work! I like the first drop and the first inversion! They were both really fun, but the rest of the ride was kind of blah and force less. There are just a few things I found that need to be worked on!

- Your supports are good, but some of them are just way off. Keep in mind not all of our supports need lat. support.

- I think you should lose the LIMs on your first drop it kind of kills the drop.

- Your coaster also fails the tunnel test in numerous places!

Other than those few things your coaster was great! Maybe try adding some trees or something though!

How do you tunnel test?

How do you tunnel test?

When you are in the editor go to the top view and zoom all the way out. Select all of your coaster and press "G" and select add tunnels. After doing this go to the simulator and you will have tunnels all around your coaster track which is the clearance needed for a train of guest who might enjoy putting their arms out if anything enters the tunnel other than the support for that piece of track then it is a safety issue. For example your coaster hits the Station! Hope that helps!

Ok thanks!

^Also, if you are building a wooden coaster with tight clearances, it helps to change the coaster to any kind of steel coaster because you can get away with more with the steel tunnels since the woodie tunnels are somewhat oversized.

aside from what has been said I really liked the design. Something simple and unique. You dont see too many x-car coasters around here so that was cool! Loved the color scheme. The only thing I can say is that it hit the brakes a little too sudden other than that I liked it!
